(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in the spring of 1998. Before that, I had many health problems, such as poly-arthritis (inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bursa around a joint) in my right shoulder. I had not been able to raise my right arm since I was young. I often had to ask my older daughter to help me get dressed.
I also had rheumatism, high blood pressure, skin disease, and other ailments. Not only that, I often started laughing no reason and couldn't stop. Then I would fall down.
I sent my children to my hometown when they were very young, and I stayed with my husband to seek treatment for my health problems. But nothing helped. After I started cultivating Falun Dafa, all my ailments went away.
My family was poor when I was child, and I only attended school for 19 days. I could not read. When I started practicing Dafa, I could only listen to fellow practitioners read the Dafa books. I held Zhuan Falun in my hands and begged Master to help me be able to read the Fa.
All of a sudden I saw that I could recognize the characters. I was so excited I did not know how to express my gratitude to Master. I had barely gone to school and was over 50, yet I was able to read by just by trying to read Zhuan Falun. Only Dafa can produce such miracles.
Now I read one lecture of Zhuan Falun every day. After I got rid of my mentality of fear that others would laugh when I read and discarded my zealotry and showing off mentalities, I started reading the Fa the same as other practitioners at group study.
All my friends and colleagues knew that I had not gone to school. They were all amazed to see me reading the newspaper and Zhuan Falun and to see that all my illnesses were gone. Later, they readily accepted what I told them about Falun Dafa and the persecution. They agreed to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
My brother-in-law and father-in-law were also surprised that I was able to read. I told my father-in-law, “After I started cultivating Dafa, I recognized many basic characters.” My 87-year-old father-in-law also started reading Zhuan Falun that same year. He told me that, while he was reading Zhuan Falun, the characters became bigger and bigger for him.
I used every opportunity I could think of to visit my friends and relatives, and I always carried Falun Dafa materials with me.
I kept reminding myself that I was not simply visiting friends and relatives and that Master had arranged these opportunities for me to save them. Usually I could talk to 10-20 people each time I visited a relative or friends, and I felt the trip was well worthwhile.
I went on an East-China-Five-Cities tour in October of 2011. The majority of the people on the tour were our village cadres and retired county administrative officers.
It was very foggy on the highway, and we suddenly heard a heavy "clunk" sound, and the rear end of the bus bounced up high. I shouted out, "Falun Dafa is good" and begged Master to save the people in the bus. I also asked people to shout, "Falun Dafa is good!" Although at that time no one dared to follow along, no one was hurt, and the bus was not damaged.
When the bus stopped for a break, I offered every passenger a Falun Dafa amulet, and everyone took one. During the following days, most of the passengers accepted my clarifying the truth to them and came to understand that Falun Dafa is persecuted. They also withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
After these people understood the truth, they were very friendly to me. They tried to help me hold the umbrella when it was raining, helped me up and down even small steps, and several of them wanted to share their hotel room with me. They said, “With Dafa practitioners we feel safe and calm.” I knew this was because of the power of Dafa.
I went back to my hometown over a year ago and handed out calendars about Falun Dafa. My hometown village has a market, and many people from neighboring villages come to the market on those days. That day happened to be a market day.
"Give me one." "Give me one." Many people asked for a calendar. Each time I handed someone a calendar, I told them to read the calendar carefully and that remembering, “Falun Dafa is good” would bring them good luck. Some of them also withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I kept sending righteous thought to eliminate the interfering evil factors in other dimensions so that these people could be saved.
There is a river outside the village, and only one road for the people that live on the other side of the river to get to the market. That market day, many people travelled that road. I took a large cardboard box of the calendars to the roadside.
I stopped everyone who passed by, regardless of whether they were walking, biking, or driving. I handed them the calendars and said, “Chinese New Year is coming. I am giving you a gift. Remembering that ‘Falun Dafa is good’ will bring you good luck.” I handed out about 200 calendars that day. Looking at the people coming and going with the calendars in their hands, I was very pleased. I sent righteous thoughts and hoped that every one of them would read the calendars and be saved.
About five or six years ago, my third brother’s wife had a stroke. She was unconscious and taken to the hospital. The doctors told her family there was no hope, that several previous patients whose strokes were less severe had died.
I called her name. She responded by making a sound. I said in her ear that she should recite, "Falun Dafa is good." I told my third brother and their two children to recite, "Falun Dafa is good." I also told them to beg Master to save her.
When she was transferred out of the ICU, I read Zhuan Falun to her. My nephew said, "She can't hear. It won't help.” I said firmly, "Let’s just keeping reading. It will help." Four of us (my nephew, two nieces, and I) took turns reading Zhuan Falun by her bedside.
Several days later, she regained consciousness. The first meal she ate after she woke up was two buns. The second day she asked for rice. Her family saw such wonderful improvement. They continued reading Zhuan Falun. A month later, she recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
My third brother’s wife sincerely recited, "Falun Dafa is good" every day, and she did not have any after-effects from the stroke. She could do all kinds of work, including farm work and housework, and she went everywhere on her bicycle.
Although she has not yet started truly cultivating, she has often helped me deliver truth-clarification materials and hand out calendars and Shen Yun Performing Arts DVDs.
My third brother also experienced significant changes. He got rid of his longterm problems of being selfish, fighting, and arguing his point to death. His old cough also disappeared. That winter I stayed in his house. When I wanted to go out one night to distribute truth-clarification materials, he said, “You stay home. Let me go. I know which houses have already gotten materials so we won’t waste any.”
The villagers all witnessed that, by reciting "Falun Dafa is good," my brother’s wife recovered so fast. When I asked them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations to secure a good future, many of them readily agreed and also started reciting, "Falun Dafa is good." Some of them even started practicing Falun Dafa.
My youngest brother’s wife experienced even bigger changes. She used to verbally abuse people and fight with them. If someone dared to offend her, she would curse the person for days, going across half the village. No one dared to touch her, and everyone stayed away from her.
She started reciting, "Falun Dafa is good," and I have not seen her curse or fight for several years. She also talks to people she did not want to talk to before. She has helped to deliver Dafa materials and hand out Dafa calendars.
A fellow practitioner helped me to write this experience sharing article and fulfill my wish. The next day, from my head on down, it seemed that pain went through every one of my organs, and I sweat profusely. My niece, who is not a practitioner, saw me suffering and wanted to take me to the hospital. I firmly believe in Master and the Fa, and I knew that karma elimination is a good thing, so I was not moved and didn't agree.
My daughter (also a practitioner) helped me by sending righteous thoughts. Other practitioners watched Master's Guangzhou Fa Lecture video with me. I vomited in the evening and immediately felt better. I came out of the restroom without any symptoms and went to participate in the sharing with fellow practitioners. Throughout the night, every time I woke up, I felt better; I felt that I was reborn.
I went to visit my daughter’s family as planned on the following day. I took my three-year-old grandson with me, and we took the high-speed rail; I felt fine.
