(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Gong at the end of 1997 and as a result I fully recovered from a 30 years of stomach trouble and serious cholecystitis.
When the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong back in 1999, I gave up the practice out of fear. As a child I had witnessed my parents suffering when they were persecuted by the communist party.
In March 2007, I felt unwell and was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had an operation, during which doctors found the cancer had already spread to my lymphatic system and chest muscles. I was 46 at the time.
I felt terrible regret for having given up the practice of Falun Gong, and decided to begin practicing again. My husband was very supportive as he had seen the miraculous healing power of Falun Gong before.
By 2010, I began to have a fever and had pain in my chest and back. Soon after, I couldn't move my back without pain and had great difficulty turning over or getting out of bed. I had to be helped by others. My weight dropped rapidly from around 72kg to just over 50kg. I had severe headaches and kept throwing up. I also lost sight in my right eye. I couldn't sleep as my entire body was in pain. My spine started to deform and I became hunchbacked and a big lump formed in my sternum. My rib-bones also became deformed. I coughed a lot with abundance of phlegm. I became completely dependent on others and wheelchair-ridden. I was taken to a hospital for treatment, and after various examinations, doctors diagnosed that the cancer had spread to my brain, bones, lungs and I also had severe anemia. There was nothing they could do for me, so they told my husband, “Take her home. She could go (die) at any time.”
My condition continued to deteriorate, but I didn't die. I relied on painkillers to survive each day. In September 2011, I went to the hospital again for a checkup. The director of the Oncology Department looked at the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of my brain taken six months before and told my husband in surprise that no one in my condition could survive three months. He couldn't believe I was still alive. He gave me a checkup and told my husband to ask my son (who was overseas at the time) to come home to see me for the last time. He said I wouldn't live another month and sent me home.
I began to reflect upon myself: Why is it that so many other Dafa practitioners who had suffered severe sickness karma were able to recover quickly, but I was still struggling in the tribulation?
Master said,
“Dafa disciples go about their lives alongside ordinary people as part of the illusory ordinary society, and are really susceptible to drifting along with the tide in their way of thinking, at least in some regards. If you can’t manage to conduct yourselves according to Dafa when you do things, can’t manage to think things over with righteous thoughts, or are not on the Fa in dealing with problems, then you are an ordinary person. There isn’t any difference, then.” [1]
Master also said,
“If you don’t use righteous thoughts to guide yourself, and if you cannot manage to conduct yourself and look at the world and others according to the standard of a cultivator, like a Dafa disciple does, then you are the same as an ordinary person.” [1]
I asked myself, “Am I a Dafa practitioner?” I realized that I hadn't truly cultivated all this time. Master said in Zhuan Falun:
“I’ll tell you a truth: the whole process of cultivation is a process of constantly getting rid of human attachments.”
However, I had always focused my attention on other people's shortcomings and never truly looked within myself. I still had strong attachments of jealousy, showing-off, being overjoyed, lust and desire, competitiveness, always wanting to get the upper hand, looking down on others, being suspicious of others, being selfish, feeling resentful towards others, etc. I came to realize that I had never cultivated solidly at all in the past.
Once I identified the cause of my problem, I started to change my notions and began to focus on solid cultivation. I looked inward whenever I came across problems and tried to improve my character. Master said, “When your character improves, your body really changes.” As soon as I strove to examine myself and change my notions, miracles occurred and I began to recover rapidly. I've now almost completely regained my health.
In January this year, when my colleagues saw me driving to work, they all cheered and jumped with joy. They thought that they'd never see me again! They all witnessed the miraculous power of Dafa. One colleague also told me that she would like to read Dafa books and practice Falun Gong as well.
As I understand it, the CCP is the biggest evil in the world. In order to maintain their own power and interests, the party magnates have destroyed China's national morality and environment, with food, water, air all being seriously contaminated. Living in such an adverse environment, the cancer rate has become extremely high. However, the party officials couldn't care less about what's happening to the people, since they themselves enjoy special food, drink and even the air they breathe. The evil party wants to take as many people as possible with them when they go down. Those who vowed to sacrifice all they had, including their lives to communism when joining the CCP, the Youth League and the Young Pioneers, will be in grave danger when disasters strike. In fact, the reason many people take a hostile attitude towards Falun Gong is because they don't know the facts and have been deceived by the slanderous lies told by the party.
Today, I would like to use my personal experiences to tell people that Falun Dafa can save lives. Please be clearheaded and distinguish good from bad. Please grasp the precious opportunity to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations and choose a bright future for yourself.
