(Minghui.org) I've practiced Falun Gong for three months. Before that, I had all kinds of diseases. I regularly took medicine, had injections and was hospitalized. My long-term illnesses didn't improve and instead I got new diseases, including gout. As they became more serious, I felt dejected and my finances were stressed.
I met a kind person who said that Falun Gong could save me. She told me the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution. I could only believe in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) after absorbing its lies for so many years. I believed in science and atheism. I couldn't believe in anything outside the parameters of the CCP's propaganda.
On April 17, 2012, I went to a large hospital for a comprehensive exam and my uremia was diagnosed to be at a late stage. I needed to go to the hospital immediately for dialysis treatment. The doctor said, “Dialysis will only alleviate the symptoms and help sustain life but your illness will not be cured. Treatment will be expensive and you will eventually lose your life.”
Facing the costs of medicine, having no pension or medical insurance, and having limited social benefits, I made the choice to practice Falun Gong. People in over 100 countries believe in Falun Gong and only in China are people not permitted to practice. Many people with incurable diseases have been cured after practicing Falun Gong. I completely believed the truth about Falun Gong. I let go of my fear of dying, and chose to practice Falun Gong without looking back.
I started practicing on April 20, 2012. I stopped taking medication, including the blood pressure reduction medication I had taken for over 20 years. My blood pressure was normally 180/200. I stopped getting injections and no longer went to the hospital.
After more than 20 years of illness, my body felt light and comfortable after just a few days. It didn't cost me anything and I saved the money that I had previously spent on treatments. I ate and slept well. I felt uncomfortable when I first started but was soon smiling and laughing, and truly happy. I gained 17 pounds in about a month. I couldn't believe it and thought that there was something wrong with the scale.
It was miraculous. My life was saved. I couldn't believe it. I no longer had dietary restrictions, or needed medicine, injections, or hospital visits. I was no longer sick. In the past this is something I couldn't possibly have imagined but there was no denying the evidence of my physical condition.
I understood that Falun Gong was an extraordinary science and atheism was wrong. The miracles I experienced validated the Fa and I wanted to tell others so they too could be saved.
On May 6, 2012, I went to a wedding. At the time I was eliminating karma, a process in cultivation which causes one to feel unwell. Everyone said that my complexion wasn't good. A month later, my sisters and I went to visit the same relatives that had attended the wedding. They thought that I looked like a different person and were quite surprised. They wondered how I could be cured so quickly. I told them that I practiced Falun Gong. They all believed the truth about Falun Gong and two of them decided to practice.
Afterwards we visited my older brother. I had been seriously ill when I went to his home the previous year. He and his wife were worried about me. He asked, “Are you better?” He couldn't believe the dramatic change. I told them that Falun Gong had cured my illnesses. My brother called the day after I got home and said, “My wife unconditionally believes in Falun Gong since seeing you. She has begun to practice.”
My younger sister came to visit me from a faraway place. She started practicing with me after seeing how I was cured. When she stayed at her daughter's home, her daughter often called me and kept asking about my health. I told her what I had experienced. She thought this Fa was amazing and the whole family started to practice.
I am grateful to Falun Dafa and Master who saved me and gave me a new life. I will visit family and friends and show them how I have benefited from practicing. This will help them to understand Falun Gong better and help to save sentient beings.
