(Clearwisdom.net) I started to develop serious health problems at the age of 36, and then suffered from them for 19 years. I had Meniere's syndrome, insomnia, mouth ulcers, heart problems, liver problems, and pain in my joints. I also had severe headaches and was almost blind. I visited many well-known doctors and experts throughout the country. All of them said that my illnesses were so complex that they were unable to cure them.
Someone brought me the book Zhuan Falun in early 1999. As I was reading the first lecture, I kept dozing off. My husband thought it was strange because usually I couldn't fall asleep easily, even after taking sleeping pills. But that night, I dozed off as I was holding the book. I then went to bed and slept soundly until the following morning. When I woke up, my headache was gone, and from that point on, I never suffered from insomnia again.
I read the book and did the Falun Gong exercises every day. One week later, I had a very healthy appetite. I also realized that my mouth ulcers had disappeared! My illnesses disappeared within a month. I gained weight and looked very healthy and energetic. I could take care of myself and did all the housework. My friends and relatives were amazed to see the miraculous changes in me.
Master prevented a disaster
In March 1999, I happened to run into a former acquaintance. She asked how I had become so healthy. When I told her that I practiced Falun Gong and shared my experiences with her, she said that she also had many illnesses and wanted to learn the practice. We had been talking outside for two hours, when I glanced towards my kitchen window on the third floor. I was shocked to see dark smoke billowing out of it. I rushed upstairs and into the kitchen. There was an aluminum pan on the stove, which was burned throughout, and there was a big hole in the bottom of the pan.
The stove was just under the window, and I could not believe how the flames did not set fire to the wooden framework around the window. If this had caught fire, the whole building would have gone up in flames, and all of the other flats would have been affected. I knew it was Master’s protection that prevented a disaster from happening.
When my younger sister came to visit me the following day, I told her what had happened. She immediately said that she wanted to learn Falun Gong, too.
Cuts disappear after sincerely reciting, “Falun Dafa is good”
I returned to my hometown with my five-year-old grandson in June of 1999. My hometown is located in a rural area ten kilometers away. I wasn’t able to go back to visit for over 10 years because of my health problems. But now that I had regained my health, I was able to return. I also planned to introduce Falun Gong to the local people there.
My grandson was very excited when we arrived at my son's house. He started running around the yard, until he lost his balance and fell onto a large potted cactus plant. He was only wearing a T-shirt and shorts at the time, and his body was covered in cactus needles. His skin was cut and immediately became red and swollen. When my son came out of the house hearing his son crying, he wanted to take him to the hospital. I told him that we should all sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’” When we did, my grandson soon calmed down and fell asleep. We bathed him when he woke up and saw that his skin was fair and clear, and there was no sign of any cuts or needles in him. We were extremely happy to see this and deeply appreciated Master’s saving grace.
Righteous thoughts help protect me from being arrested
The Chinese Communist Party began the persecution of Falun Gong six months after I obtained the Fa. I remember standing in front of the window one night, looking out at the full moon. I could see in another dimension that the moon was getting bigger and bigger. Then it turned into a large lotus flower with Master sitting on top of it. I shouted to Master and then burst into tears. Master gradually faded away and infused the following words into my mind:
In realms ultra-finite, ultra-vast,
all declined matter is subdued,
Stretching the Ten Directions, tiny to vast,
the Firmament meets the eye;
The heavens clear,
the cosmic body transparent,
the universe rectified,
With the ultimate catastrophe now past,
lucent is the whole Cosmos.
(“After the Catastrophe” in Hong Yin)
I believe the persecution is the catastrophe. But the time when the heavens clear and the cosmic body becomes transparent will come for sure. During this period, practitioners are tested on how to walk well their cultivation paths.
When I studied the Fa with fellow practitioners in the summer of 2000, I firmly kept in mind Master’s words:
“Those disciples who have stepped forward to validate the Fa in the face of pressure are magnificent” ("Towards Consummation" in Essentials for Further Advancement II).
I then started to deliver truth clarification materials about Falun Gong to residents in three local towns. Regardless of how hot it was in the summer or how cold it was in the winter, I always went out to deliver materials. I covered dozens of miles without feeling tired. At night, streetlights went out when I walked up to put posters on the poles, and then they lit up again when I left. The red words “Falun Dafa is good” on a yellow background shone brightly and could be seen from a good distance away under the bright street lights.
Three police and agents from the 610 Office came to my home one time. As I went downstairs to the front door, I sent forth righteous thoughts. I thought, “You cannot persecute me. You do not have the right to do that.” I opened the door and firmly asked them, “How do you know I live here? Why are you looking for me?” They all just stood there, as one of them was stammering to come up with an answer. He eventually managed to ask, “Do you still practice Falun Gong?” I told him, “Of course I do. Everyone here knows that I was in extremely poor health before. It was Dafa and Master that saved me!” I then told them how Falun Gong had benefited me. I said, “Do you want anything else? I have to go out now.” As I shut the door and walked past them, a young officer caught up with me. He grasped my hands and shook them, saying, “Seeing you are so healthy now, I’m really happy for you!”
My watch still works after I accidentally washed it
I bought a digital watch in the fall of 2005, and used it every day for more than three years without replacing the battery. When I did the exercises, sent forth righteous thoughts, and went out to talk to people about Falun Gong, I always wore it.
In late April, 2009, I carelessly left it in a pocket when I washed my clothes. I only realized it a day or so later. When my son returned home one night, I asked him to take the watch apart to clean and reassemble it. My son laughed at me and said that the watch wouldn’t work anymore if I got water in it. I said, “This is not a normal watch. Please do it for me.” Several days later, he bought a new battery and reassembled the watch. He was so amazed to find that it was still working.
My aunt's fractured wrist
My aunt is 95 years old this year. She became a practitioner when she was 88 years old and has studied the Fa every day. Through practicing Falun Gong she became hale and hearty, and her full head of white hair regained its natural color.
In the fall of my aunt's 90th year, a neighbor once left her three children with her to look after. My aunt lives in a rural village. They have two big fat pigs that often got out of the pigsty, so the family asked someone to put a large, heavy boulder at the door to keep them from getting out. One time when my aunt went to the restroom, which is next to the pigsty, the pigs were jumping around so much that the boulder moved and landed on her left arm, trapping her wrist. She tried to sit up and moved the boulder enough to release her hand and managed to get free.
My aunt's daughter-in-law, who was working nearby, heard the children screaming and ran back home. She saw my aunt shivering from head to toe, her clothes covered in blood. Her daughter-in-law told her to immediately recite, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The bleeding soon stopped after she did, and the pain had also gone. Her son then took her to the hospital. The doctor said that her wrist was fractured, but they couldn't do anything about it because of her age. A simple dressing was put on it, and they returned home.
My aunt was not affected by the incident and still kept studying the Fa. Two months later, the fracture had completely healed. Ten more members in my aunt’s family began practicing Falun Gong after hearing about what had happened.
