(Minghui.org)
Before I began practicing Falun Gong in January 2009, I suffered from all kinds of ailments: heart disease, brain atrophy, liver swelling, and severe rheumatism. My hands would cramp after I washed clothes. I had to sleep on a heated bed, even in summer. Since childhood, I heard humming in my head all day long. To make matters worse, I was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2008.
Every day was exhausting! One day a friend recommended Falun Gong to me. Deeply poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) propaganda, I could not accept Falun Gong right away. After my friend talked to me several times, I agreed to read Zhuan Falun. She told me that it taught the great law of the universe, but I was more interested in doing the exercises for my poor health. Nonetheless, when I first opened the book, I noticed that Master looked familiar to me, and I was completely impressed.
While I sat listening to Master’s lectures, I could hear something buzzing. Since I was alone in the house, I patted my head and continued listening. A few minutes later, I felt as if there was something moving above the right side of my head. I was completely absorbed in the content of Master's lectures and was oblivious of everything else. A few minutes later, I felt something moving inside my abdomen, and I thought it must be the law wheel. However, as soon as I noticed it, I no longer felt it. After I told a fellow practitioner what happened, she told me that Master must have installed a law wheel for me. I told myself that I would absolutely begin to cultivate in Falun Gong.
At first, because I couldn't raise my left arm, I couldn't do the second exercise. Unfortunately, I didn't practice the other four exercises together either and could only do the fifth exercise for 15 minutes. Gradually my xinxing improved, and Master helped purify my body for me. After I coughed up a bloody substance and passed some dark stool, I began to sleep and eat well, and my health improved.
As I spent more time practicing the exercises and improving my xinxing, all my ailments disappeared. I became energetic and my complexion became smooth and glowed. I no longer needed to take any medicine. People found it hard to believe that Falun Gong had truly cured me.
Our revered Master saved me by cleaning up my karma so that I can walk on the path to return to my true and original self. Master has endured so much for me and given me the opportunity to obtain the Great Law. How fortunate I am! Only by cultivating myself well, doing the three things diligently, catching up with the process of the Fa rectification, and saving more people can I show my gratitude.
I went out to tell people how I benefited from Dafa and clarified the facts of Falun Gong to them. I told them only by quitting the CCP and its affiliations and understanding the truth of Dafa can one have a bright future.
Some people who had ripped up Falun Gong posters now felt regret. I told them that this was all due to the CCP propaganda, but if they often recited “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” Master would help them. I gave them Falun Gong books, exercise teaching DVDs, Shen Yun DVDs, and other materials. Many learned Falun Gong and quit the CCP.
One day I told a shop assistant at a grain store who tried to sell me her products that I used to be concerned about what I ate, but now I no longer needed to worry about it because Falun Gong had cured all my illnesses. She asked, “Can Falun Gong cure my heart disease?”
I told her, “I’ll bring the exercise DVDs and the book to you next time.” I gave her an MP5 player with the exercise music CDs, Master's lectures, and exercise teaching DVDs. After watching the DVDs, she told me, “It’s very good, but I’m a Buddhist.” I told her, “Listen to the lectures more often. Only Falun Gong can truly save you. Cultivation in Dafa can give you good health and help you become a person of high virtue.” When I met her again a few days later, she told me, “It’s great! I listen to Master's lectures now, and my heart is in very good condition.” She told me that she would cultivate in Dafa.
I shared my personal experience with people in hospitals. Three cancer patients began to cultivate in Dafa and quit the CCP after understanding the truth. A cousin of mine had heart disease and diabetes. After I clarified the facts to him, he told me that one of his colleagues, a Falun Gong practitioner, was persecuted.
My cousin told me he believed what I told him. I told him that Falun Dafa is the Buddha Law of the highest level, and I explained why the CCP persecutes Falun Gong. I also told him how CCP staged the “self-immolation.” I told him to read Zhuan Falun to learn about Falun Gong. He said, “If my health improves, my entire family will practice Falun Gong, too.” I gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun, lecture CDs, exercise DVDs, and other materials. A few days later, he told me that he could feel something rotating about six times in his lower abdomen one evening. I told him, “Master has installed the law wheel for you.” He promised that he would continue cultivating.
One day I met the head of the neighborhood association. She told me that she just had surgery and was taking herbal medicines. I told her my own experience, and she said, “You look very young and energetic. It’s hard to believe that you were once so ill.” I told her about the book Survivors of Serious Diseases and explained how practitioners follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to become good people. I told her that Falun Gong is practiced in over 100 countries, that only the CCP persecutes Falun Gong and prevents people from practicing it. I said, “If you truly understand Falun Gong, you’ll know that the regime is committing crimes by persecuting Falun Gong and how great Falun Gong is for people and society.
Fellow practitioners have been helping me since I obtained the Fa. They downloaded truth clarification materials onto my phone. After I showed the materials to my relatives, more than 20 of them quit the CCP. Many of my friends, colleagues, and other relatives agreed to quit.
Wherever I go, to hospitals, on trains, or shopping, I clarify the facts to people. I still have numerous attachments, but I'm determined to study the Fa more attentively, do the three things well, search inside myself to cultivate myself more diligently, and save more sentient beings to follow Master home.
