(Clearwisdom.net) Editor's note: Over the course of the 11-year persecution of Falun Gong in China, many people's minds have been poisoned by the lies and slander of the Chinese Communist Party, causing them to have misunderstandings about Falun Dafa. In this environment of persecution, it is a major breakthrough for a person in China to understand the true situation and openly declare their belief in the goodness of Dafa. Many people have received good returns upon siding with goodness and coming to recognize a power higher than the ruling regime. This is one such story.
I am a 60-year-old retired worker who lives in Shiyan City, Hubei Province. I was always in good health and rarely went to see a doctor. Due to the poisoning of my mind by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its teaching of atheism, I never believed in divine beings or Buddha, but in money and realism. I always chased after material comforts. I had no interest in qigong or in any kind of cultivation practice.
My wife practiced Falun Gong for more than ten years. I strongly opposed her practicing Falun Gong and refused to listen to her patiently explaining the things she had learned from practicing. I also did not read or believe anything Falun Gong taught.
Because of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, my wife was held in a detention center from August 2009 to September 2010 and was then monitored by the authorities upon her release. I blamed Falun Dafa and my wife for this and didn't sympathize with her. I verbally attacked her, and badmouthed Dafa and its founder frequently and without hesitation. It seemed that I was smart, but now I understand that I accumulated a lot of karma. Finally, my slandering Falun Dafa caught up with me.
I was always healthy, but became ill in mid-December of last year. I suddenly felt confused and dizzy and my vision was blurred. I was taken to a hospital for an emergency check-up. I was diagnosed with cerebral infarction, which is a stroke due to a problem with the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. I was 60 years old, but my brain was like that of an 80-year-old man. My cerebellum had been shrinking and I was in critical condition. The doctors said they could do no more than give me some medicine to soften my blood vessels.
After I realized the severity of my illness, I collapsed. I was only 60 years old. I asked myself, "Am I at the end of my life? What if I don’t die but am bedridden and paralyzed? If so, I'd rather die.” But I really didn't want to die.
In this hour of need my wife spoke to me, "Don't be afraid. Ask Master for help. Sincerely recite 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.'” I asked, "Will it work?" My wife responded, "It will work if you sincerely believe it." I said, "But I maligned Falun Dafa and badmouthed Master. I have accumulated a lot of karma. Will Master forgive me?" I was a little worried. She said in a confident voice, "You were lost in the past, and you sinned out of ignorance. Master will forgive you as long as you believe firmly in Dafa and recite 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' Tell Master from your heart that you wish to quit the CCP and all its affiliations. It will work. You might experience a miracle. Just begin to recite the words I told you now!”
Why should I still hesitate? What else should I be afraid of? I just did as she said. I first agreed to quit the CCP and its affiliates. I made a clean break with the CCP. I apologized from my heart and admitted all that I had done wrong. I asked Master to forgive me. I said in my heart that from now on, I believe in Falun Dafa and believe in Master. I will support Falun Dafa to make up for my mistakes. Then I began to recite 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I must admit that at that time I did not fully believe that this would work, but I had taken an important first step.
December 17, 2010 was my second day in the hospital. From the time I started to recite these simple words, my body felt more and more comfortable. My feeling of being ill slowly subsided. My confidence grew and I kept repeating those words over and over again.
December 28 was my 12th day in the hospital. A cerebral vascular angiography showed that the damage related to the stroke had been cured. Even the doctor thought this incredible.
I kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and my health quickly returned to normal. On January 4 of this year, only 20 days of being hospitalized, I was discharged from the hospital.
Today, I will speak of what I experienced. But, first, I thank Master for saving my life and then I will use my experience to tell the world: Falun Dafa is good. Master Li Hongzhi is innocent and is being wronged. The CCP's persecution of Falun Gong is wrong. Don't be deceived by the lies you hear from the CCP.
May the world's people believe in Dafa, support Dafa and receive benefits and blessings.
