(Clearwisdom.net) My mother is eighty-two years old and has a kind heart. I began practicing Falun Gong in 1998, and my mother soon followed. When I was persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party in 2001, my mother lost her cultivation environment, as nobody could read the book to her. She gradually stopped practicing.
When I went to my brother's home to visit my mother, I found that she had been ill for several months. There was no improvement after she took medicine or had injections. I said, “Don't worry, let's start to practice Falun Gong at my place.” Since I was working out of town, my brother and sister-in-law were reluctant to let her go, but eventually agreed for my mother to stay with me and told me to make sure that she took the medicine while practicing.
I immediately started to read Zhuan Falun to my mother when we arrived at my place, and then started to practice the exercises. My mother's health had improved by the following day and her condition was getting better. At first she remembered to take the medicine before meals, but a couple days later she forgot to take it.
Within one week my mother's health had returned to normal. On the eleventh day, she asked me, “Can we get rid of the medicine? I don't need it.” My mother has not taken any medicine since then and she is in good health. When people comment on her appearance and say that she does not look like she's in her 80s, she tells them, “It is because I practice Falun Gong that I became healthy.”
My mother stayed at my elder sister's home in 2009. When my brother-in-law was backing up the car one day, he did not see that she was behind the car, and accidentally knocked her down. Her head was bleeding and they insisted on taking her to the hospital. They were very worried about her. My mother refused to go to the hospital, and the bleeding soon stopped. My brother-in-law said with surprise, “It's a real miracle! If I hadn't seen it, I would not have believed it.” He later began to practice Falun Gong also.
