(Clearwisdom.net) I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996. With Master's compassionate protection, I have been a practitioner for fifteen years. I wanted to relate my personal experiences here to explain why I believe that Falun Dafa is truly good.
1. Illnesses Disappeared Without My Being Aware of It
This year I am 63 years old. I had been weak since my childhood. When I turned 30, I had many diseases, including gastritis, neurasthenia, anemia, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, a gynecological disease, rhinitis, nephritis, my heart beat too fast and many more. When I was 40, I had to have a surgery. After the operation, my health was even worse. My irregular heartbeat stopped me from sleeping at night. I felt dizzy during the daytime. Thus it was hard for me to work. I had consulted all the hospitals across the city, and had to have medication at home and at my work place. Because I had too many injections, the blood vessels in my hands and arms turned hard. I tried many traditional and alternative health solutions, but all to no avail. I also practiced several Qigong methods, but my sicknesses remained. I saw some scary things, which frightened me and I stopped practicing.
In April 1996, a retired coworker began to practice Falun Gong. He came to our work place and told us all about it. He organized for us to watch Master's lecture videos and also taught us the exercises. One day I noticed people practicing exercises near my house. I went to check it out and noticed that they were practicing Falun Gong, so I joined them. The day after, I went home feeling like my whole body was light, energized and spiritually satisfied. I could cook meals and take care of my household chores. I finished the work very quickly, while singing some songs. Also my cold sweats had stopped. Time passed and without me really noticing it, all my sicknesses disappeared. Falun Dafa brought endless wonders and goodness to my life.
Since I started to learn Falun Dafa, I have walked with a very light body. My sicknesses disappeared and my mental outlook improved. I came to understand the real meaning of life. Before, I lived for selfish reasons and only for myself. All I had been thinking about was how to live well and comfortable and I was never considerate of others. Sometimes, in order to improve my own life and further my own interests, I even harmed other's benefits and I did not care at all about it. I used to blame others whenever conflicts arose. When conflicts happened in my family, I behaved even worse and blamed my family members for having faults. When I disliked something, I felt uneasy. Since cultivating Falun Dafa, all those things were resolved at the root of the problem. When being faced with such matters, I now consider others first and look within when I am faced with conflicts. I started to ignore other's faults and am no longer attached to worldly fame and profits. I learned to have a broad and peaceful mind when handling my losses and gains. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecuted me from a financial perspective. My work unit laid me off because I went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. Hence, I lost my source of income, but that could not shake my firm belief in Dafa. I understood that only the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance were the key to the meaning of life.
2. Master's Protection
My family members and I have benefited a lot from Falun Dafa. I'd like to mention just a few examples here.
a. On January 5, 2002, my husband and I had supper at my brother's house. After dinner, when it was already dark, we went back home riding our bikes. Not too far from my brother's house the road had quite a long downward grade. During the daytime, the snow had melted and in the evening the road froze up again. The road was very slippery and in the darkness it was hard to see clearly. Since there weren't many people on the road, I rode the bike down the slope very fast. All of a sudden with the sound of "Pa", both my bike and I tumbled, fell down and slid down the road for quite a distance. My husband came and helped me up. At that time, I moved around and did not feel anything wrong, so I got back up on my bike and kept on going. Just at that same time, I heard another sound of "Pa" and at the same spot, where I had just fallen; a young couple had also fallen down. The couple and their motorcycle flew in three different directions and the two people were lying there very still. Even when I walked down to the hill of the road, I still saw them lying there motionless. Think about it everyone: what could have happened to me without Master's protection? Here I was, a person in my 50's, who just had a bad fall, but I did not get hurt. However, those two young people fell down and could not even move a bit.
b. One evening at the end of February 2005, after 7:00 pm, I rode my bike and looked for a fellow practitioner. Not far from my house, I heard a noise coming from my bike. I thought something was wrong with it so I stopped and checked it out. At that time a taxi came by. I wanted to use the taxi's light to check my bike. Suddenly, I felt something very heavy but soft knocking me down. I tried to get up, but that thing hit me again and this happened repeatedly three to four times and then it stopped. While I was lying on the ground, the taxi was about three to four meters away from me. I was sending forth righteous thoughts and tried to get up. My legs hurt, so I asked the driver to help me to find my bike. The bike was behind the taxi about three or four meters away. I got into the taxi and I told the driver about the facts of Falun Gong, and he was touched. He was neither afraid nor worried. He knew that Falun Gong practitioners are all good people and will never cheat anyone nor ask for money. The people standing by all told me that I should not let him go and have him take me to a hospital. After they witnessed my behavior, they started to say that Dafa is truly good and Falun Gong practitioners are good. Being hit by a car not only once, but three to four times, I was still able to stand up; this was truly a miracle. Suppose that it had been a non-practitioner, how could he not be severely injured or even be dead after being hit multiple times like that? Two or three days later, I noticed the car’s wheel marks on my chest, tummy and the inside of my thighs. However, I had no pain, did not bleed and had no wounds. My husband always says: from the bottom of my heart, I believe Falun Dafa is good. Without Falun Dafa and your Master, you may not be alive today. My relatives, friends and neighbors, all witnessed the wonders of Falun Dafa. Yes, without Falun Dafa I would not be alive today. Whenever I think about the huge changes my body and mind went through when I started to cultivate, I feel it is like a gap between heaven and earth and my tears always flow like a stream of water. Thousands of words can’t express it and it can be reduced to one single phrase: Falun Dafa is good.
c. Let me talk about how my spouse has benefited. He saw the changes in me, so he believed that Dafa is good, but he does not practice himself. He never cared about losing anything and is always honest and kind to others. Many miracles have happened to him. In April 2004, he rode his bike from his work to our home in the early morning. When he was crossing an intersection, he started to slow down. A car was passing through driving from his right to his left. He got off his bike to yield for that car. At that time, a mini-van was coming from behind and knocked him to the ground with his head facing downward. He got up and moved around and noticed no injuries on his body and he didn't have any problems except a little pain on his left wrist, but no blood or wounds were visible. The driver jumped out of his van and blamed my husband. My husband did not argue with him and did not ask for money from that driver either, instead he left and went home. Because my husband believes that Dafa is good and behaves in line with a high xinxing standard, therefore, he did not have any injuries or other problems.
One day in 2006, my husband seemed to have a stroke. He could still move his limbs but his lips were disfigured, his eyes turned inside out and he could not speak clearly. This time he was worried that I did not have any income due to the persecution and he thought that if he could not work, how could we live. I told him that we did not need to worry because we had Dafa and Master to take care of us and we should not be afraid of anything. This time he voluntarily read the book Zhuan Falun. At the beginning, it was extremely difficult for him to utter even a word. Two days later, he was back to normal. Dafa is really miraculous. His friend said that he was extremely lucky and Falun Dafa is good.
One day about two years ago, my husband said that his lower back was swollen and painful. I checked it out and saw that starting from his belly button to the middle of his lower back, there was about a 2 inch wide belt-shaped skin rash. The big rash was composed of small rashes and it looked like half a snake stayed inside it. The pain started at the bone and extended outwards. He said it was unbearable. My husband kept on reciting "Falun Dafa is good" and a few days later he was healed. Thus, we witnessed one more time that Falun Dafa is good.
d. Let me say something how my daughter-in-law benefited from Dafa. She graduated from college and now works as a government official. Due to the wicked CCP's propaganda, she was deeply poisoned by the party culture. Before she married into our family, she heard that I was removed by the CCP but that I still firmly cultivate. She thought that was unbelievable. After she married my son, I told her the truth about Dafa many times and I also tried my best to behave in line with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. She gradually changed her thinking and came to understand that Falun Gong is truly good. Besides, she supported me with my practice.
After her son was two days old, while making rounds the nurse checked on him and noticed that the baby's temperature was high. The doctor said that the baby needed to be moved to the infants’ room and we should not give him any breast milk. Also, he would need to be put into an infant care temperature-controlled unit. My daughter-in-law was crying and everybody worried about the baby. After we paid to get the baby checked into the infants room, we discussed the situation with the doctor. Finally, we decided to leave the baby with his mother. If the baby's temperature would not drop down, then we would bring him to the infants room later. If the baby's temperature dropped down by staying with his mother, we would discuss what to do next, the next morning. After everything quieted down, my daughter-in-law told us: when you brought my baby to be checked, I laid on my bed crying while reciting "Falun Dafa is good."
That night I shared a bed with the baby and was practicing the sitting meditation. The baby’s temperature was checked every hour, each time the temperature went down a little, until the next morning, the baby was back to normal and no longer needed to go into the infant care unit. Falun Dafa is really, really good.
Many more wonderful things have happened to me and my family since I began to practice Falun Gong. Every practitioner knows that if one day you start to cultivate and you also assimilate to the characteristics of the universe Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, then you will appreciate Master's merciful greatness from the bottom of your heart.
