Ms. Zhang, an illiterate 75-year-old woman living in a rural village, started suffering uncontrollable tremors in her hands and limbs in 2013. These were the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. Visits to multiple doctors yielded no cure.
I met Ms. Zhang’s daughter the same year at a mutual friend’s home. During the course of our conversation, I took the opportunity to explain the facts about Falun Dafa to her. She had some hesitation but wanted to know more about how the practice may help her mother. “I have heard others talking about the goodness of Falun Dafa,” she said. “My mother suffers from Parkinson’s disease. Can practicing this exercise cure her?”
I replied, “Falun Dafa is not used for curing illnesses. It uses the universal principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to raise a person’s moral standards.”
“My mother is a very kind-hearted person,” she said.
“Then ask your mother to recite, 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. She will see improvement as long as she recites this sincerely and frequently.”
Ms. Zhang that same night, started to recite the phrase, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” To her dismay, not only did her condition not improve, but her dizziness and vomiting further intensified throughout the night. Bitterly disappointed and ill, she could only lie down and cry. Her anxious husband sent her to the hospital for treatment.
The doctor told her, “Your condition is caused by a neurological problem and cannot be cured. In fact you are lucky to be able to maintain your present condition.” Shocked and angered by the doctor's words, Ms. Zhang refused all treatment and returned home.
Following this setback, the elderly couple decided to look for me. I was still staying at my friend’s home, and I lent a sympathetic ear as they described the setback they had experienced. Ms. Zhang told me her younger sister had also suffered from Parkinson’s a few years earlier. Unable to bear the suffering, her sister had drowned herself in a river, and Ms. Zhang feared she would suffer a similar fate.
I lent them a copy of Zhuan Falun, andI instructed her husband to read the book to his wife. Ms. Zhang instantly noticed that her hands were not trembling anymore. Grateful, she thanked me repeatedly. I told her to thank Master.
Three days later, my friend and I went to the countryside to visit Ms. Zhang. To our astonishment, all her symptoms had completely vanished. She grabbed my hands. “I must thank Master Li,” she exclaimed. “From today on I will never fall ill. From today on, I will recite “Falun Dafa is good” whenever I can.”
Ms. Zhang's husband had received a formal education and worked in an office. A colleague had once clarified the truth about Dafa to him, but he feared the Chinese Communist Party and dared not quit his membership with them. However, he had a small piece of paper that his colleague had written “Falun Dafa is good” on two years ago. I persuaded him to quit his membership with the Party and he agreed.
We next visited the couple some months later, and Ms. Zhang was still very excited. “My husband was cured of his back pain after reading one round of Zhuan Falun. The power of Dafa is incredible.”
