1. Chronic Asthma Vanishes After Taking Up the Practice of Falun Gong
By Xiyuan, a Falun Gong practitioner from Shan-anxi Province
I suffered from a serious cough when China was overwhelmed by the outbreak of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) back in 2003. Many of my friends thought that I might be infected, so news of the increasing death toll kept me gripped in fear. I went to hospitals but doctors could not find out what the exact problem was. They finally came to a conclusion that I had chronic asthma. I took many medicines but my conditions only worsened and raised my family's concern. My condition was so severe that the cough would inhibit my breathing and stifle me almost to death.
The financial condition of my family significantly worsened as the medical treatment costs continued to mount, along with payments for my children´s schooling. Added to the financial pains, I vividly remember the time a bad cough caused my eyes to swell, my mouth to foam and tears to run. It was a very painful life to lead.
In 2006 I met a Falun Gong practitioner and heard a lot about Falun Gong from him. He gave me a Falun Gong book and taught me the exercises. To my surprise, I found I could breath smoothly when I did the standing meditation exercises. In less than 6 months, I became able to do the sitting meditation exercise for more than 30 minutes, which was not an easy thing for me. Gradually my illness was gone.
When people asked me how I got rid of my asthma, I always told them it was Falun Gong. Dafa gave me a new three things as a genuine Dafa practitioner.
2. My Son Benefited from My Practice of Falun Gong
Written by Jinglian, a Falun Gong practitioner from China
I began practicing Falun Gong in 1998. My eldest son was in bad health. He felt weak in his limbs, was sleepy all the time and could hardly hold up his head. He sometimes said: “I do not want to live any more. I will die soon.” He sweat so much when he slept that his bed cover was wet as if soaked with water. I thought it might be caused by the bad quality of his bed, so we swapped his bed for mine. Three days later I found his bed cover soaked while mine was completely dry. We kept on exchanging our beds every several days for more than 5 years. To cure him I resorted to all kinds of medicines, doctors and various types of folk remedies, but all to no avail.
Finding no way out, I saw a book named Zhuan Falun when I visited a colleague of mine. He told me: “This is a book about cultivation practice. You can read it.” I picked the book up and saw “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and “returning to your original, true self” upon opening it. Then I read the part:
“Buddhists believe in saving oneself and saving others, saving all sentient beings, so you don’t just need to cultivate yourself, but you also have to save other beings. Other people benefit along with you, and you may adjust other people’s bodies and heal other people without even meaning to, among other things. (Zhuan Falun)”.
When I read the book for the second time I saw the sentence in the 6th lecture:
“Everything that’s in other dimensions will be cleaned up for you. And the environment at home will be cleaned up. (Zhuan Falun)”
When I read this I thought: “Here lies the cure for my son. I will practice Falun Gong, because it is so good. I not only cultivate myself, but also save other sentient beings.” I said to my son: “You will benefit from my practice of Falun Gong, and your illness will be gone.” Finding it hard to believe, he said: “You do the practice, and my illness will be gone? How could that be?” I said: “I believe what Master Li taught in his books are true.” I then stepped on my way of cultivation for the sake of the health of my son.
Early on when I began studying the Fa I thought I was so fortunate to be a Falun Gong practitioner. I was very diligent in doing the Falun Gong exercises and studying the Fa. Not long after, my son found his bed was no longer wet as before. The illness that had long made him suffer was gone and he regained his heath. He often said to me: “Mother, never doubt in your practice of Falun Gong.”
