(Clearwisdom.net) My husband's family is from Heilongjiang Province. However, my husband and I went to work in a town situated between Inner Mongolia and Liaoning Province in order to try to find a cure for our daughter's illness and pay our son's college tuition.
In the spring of 1997, I often went to visit my relatives in my hometown. Every time, I brought two large bags with me to my uncle’s home—one bag contained all of my medications, while the other was for my tobacco because I was unable to make it through a day without taking medicine and smoking. I had many illnesses and relied on sleeping pills to fall asleep every night. My face was pale and I was very weak.
At that time, my uncle’s house was a Falun Gong practice site. People went to his home to watch Teacher’s nine-day lectures. Afterwards, they went outside to do the Falun Gong exercises. My brother and his wife shared with me the wonderfulness of Falun Gong and how people's health improved after they started practicing. The next day, I decided to start practicing Falun Gong.
I listened to Teacher’s first lecture attentively and made sure I didn't miss a word. The more I listened to the Fa, the more I wanted to listen. I also couldn't stop crying as I listened to Teacher’s lectures. At that time, I forgot to take my medications nor did I think about my physical discomfort. That night, I went to sleep without difficulty and didn't wake up until late the next morning.
The next day after we finished listening to Teacher’s lecture, everyone went outside, so I hurriedly rolled up a cigarette and took two puffs. However, the tobacco didn’t taste right. I also felt dizzy and had to lean on a table for support. My uncle came back to the room and asked me, “You were smoking, right?” Before this incident, I could smoke seven or eight cigarettes without a problem. It is just like what Teacher says in Zhuan Falun, “When you smoke a cigarette again, it will not taste right.”
Many times in the past, doctors and family members had tried to persuade me to quit smoking, but I never could. However, after that incident, I quit smoking and have never thought about it again.
After the eighth day of listening to Teacher’s lecture, all of my illnesses disappeared and my body felt lighter. After so many years, I finally regained my health when I was in my 60s. I am usually a talkative person, but at that moment I was speechless and tears rolled down my face. I could only think to myself, “I have met a living Buddha.”
I then went to one of my brother's homes since it is also a practice site. Both my brother and his wife were teachers at the time. His whole family practiced Falun Dafa. I remember that day was very hot, so all the windows and door were opened. After lunch, we watched Teacher's lectures. I then saw a Dao, a Bodhisattva, and a divine beauty about 30 centimeters high fly into the house. They all sat on the bed and respectfully listened to Teacher's lecture. At first, I assumed that my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I rubbed them and looked again. I still saw the same thing. I told my sister-in-law about it and she told me that Teacher had opened my celestial eye and that what I saw was all real. After the TV was turned off, they flew away.
One day before lunch, I suddenly saw things differently, as though I was looking through a tube. I told my brother and he told me that it was a good thing and to just let it be. An hour later, I saw things normally again.
At home, I had a dream that Teacher took me to fly in the sky. I then had a thought, “Teacher may be taking me to heaven; I have to find out where my kids are.” As soon as that thought emerged, I fell down from the sky and woke up. I realized Teacher was giving me a hint because I was too attached to my children.
Although I didn't know how to read and write, I still bought a copy of Zhuan Falun. My husband then taught me to read it. Teacher also taught me to read it in my dreams. I was then able to gradually read Zhuan Falun on my own. My husband and daughter also began to practice Falun Gong after they witnessed all the positive changes I experienced. My son, who was studying in college at the time, also started practicing by going to my brother's home to watch Teacher's lectures during his summer vacation.
Every morning I did the exercises instead of going for a walk. One day, I went to the park and saw people there doing other qigong practices. So, I introduced them to Falun Gong and told them about the many benefits I had gained from practicing Dafa. After I told my brother about introducing Dafa to the people at the park, he later told me that several practitioners he talked to discussed the issue and decided that they would come to my area to promote the practice.
The following year in the spring, a Falun Dafa experience-sharing conference was held in my town on a Sunday. It had a very positive effect. The practitioners from Liaoning Province, Inner Mongolia, and other places, as well as those who wanted to learn Falun Gong, all participated, totaling over 300 people. The 100 or so Dafa books that we had prepared were all sold out.
After the conference, the number of practitioners in my area increased tremendously. There were local practice sites in every park and square in the morning. As I listened to the Dafa exercise music and watched more and more people start practicing Falun Dafa, I felt very happy from the bottom of my heart.
