(Minghui.org) Many people who practice Falun Dafa have regained their health and formed a new, more optimistic outlook on life. Because of this, they feel great sympathy for people who were suffering mentally and physically like they once were and want to share the facts about Falun Gong.
The overwhelming amount of propaganda against Falun Dafa has deceived many people. However, the selfless consideration of many Falun Dafa practitioners have convinced these people of the truth – that Falun Dafa is indeed good.
Here are a few such stories.
I used to have a very close neighbor who would always lend me a helping hand. But the lady of their house, Ms. Xu, had all sorts of illnesses: hypertension, kidney disease, back pain, and so on. She was a regular at the hospital.
Later we relocated to a different city, but I still kept in touch with Ms. Xu. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I introduced it to her and she also took it up. Within two weeks, she was illness free; she appeared to be younger and more energetic almost immediately.
When the persecution began, her family was scared for her safety and forbade her from practicing Falun Dafa. She gradually stopped doing the exercises and studying the Fa.
In these last two years, her illnesses returned; though she began taking medication and receiving injections, her health continued declining.
I learned last summer from her son that his mother was dying. He, as well as his sister, took turns taking care of their mother, but her situation was grave and they were planning her funeral.
I took a train to see her the next day. When I saw her, Ms. Xu was crying.
“You came too late. I have not been sleeping for two straight months, I am exhausted, I am too weak to even toss and turn, and we could not find a caretaker so my children have to take turns to look after me. I want to end this soon...” she said.
Since she could not move, I read Zhuan Falun to her the first day. By the end of the day, she was able to sit up. We read the book together the next day, and by the end of the evening she was able to walk to the bathroom with my support!
I was excited and encouraged her, “See how much you've recovered? You should be able to exercise soon.”
She replied sadly, “I have not exercised for too long. I am not qualified to be a Falun Dafa practitioner anymore.”
Her son had objections to her exercising as well.
With tears in my eyes, I said to her, “It was Master who sent me here, I took a long train ride here to help you and support you. Don't you want to regain your health?”
She replied, “Of course I do, but it is too late.”
“Do you remember?,” I asked,
“When disciples have ample righteous thoughtsMaster has the power to turn back the tide” (Hongyin IIThe Master-Disciple Bond)
She got out of bed easily the third day, and I asked her, “Can you still double cross your legs?”
She still could! I taught her the exercise again and we meditated for 45 minutes.
After a break, I asked her, “How about we try the standing exercise? I'll be right next to you to catch you if you fall.”
She finished all four exercises without my help.
We began studying the Fa together the fourth day. We exercised in the morning and evening, and studied the Fa all day long. She also had the energy to prepare lunch with me. When some local fellow practitioners learned the news, they were all delighted and came to visit her. In the past, her children would not allow them to come, but now their attitude has changed, as well!
By the eighth day, we went downstairs and took a walk together!
Her children were amazed and their joy was beyond words.
Her son told me, “Now I completely understand that your Master has come to provide salvation. Do not worry, I will let her fellow practitioners come over from now on, and I will let my mother practice Falun Dafa!”
I left the ninth day. Ms. Xu has been diligently studying the Fa and exercising ever since.
My neighbor, Ms. Lu believes that “Falun Dafa is good” and likes to listen to Master's lectures, but her husband was deceived by the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda. He was mad at me since I was the one who introduced Falun Dafa to her.
Ms. Lu took her granddaughter to school every morning. On April 10, 2014, as soon as they left home, a 7.0 earthquake erupted. Ms. Lu fell from the second floor and had a compressed fracture in her lower spine. She could not move at all by herself after one month of hospitalization.
I went to visit her, and told her that I could help her by reading Falun Dafa books to her. She was released from the hospital very soon.
Her husband began taking their granddaughter to school, and he would come back for lunch and be out and about in the afternoon. He usually returned with his granddaughter at around 6 p.m. That gave me time to read Zhuan Falun to Ms. Lu. After I finished one round of the book, she was able to get to the bathroom herself using furniture as support.
Her husband noticed the change and asked, “You can get up by yourself? How did this happen?”
Ms. Lu told him that I helped her.
“But how? How can she help you? She's not a doctor!”
“She read Falun Dafa books to me.”
“Really? That's a miracle!”
When he returned home for lunch the following day, I was reading the book to his wife.
I told him, “ Do not be scared, I only want to help her to recover a little faster, and ease some of your burden.”
He told me, “I know you Falun Dafa practitioners are all good people. You have no idea how much you've already helped me. I want to thank you. I will not object if she wants to practice Falun Dafa.”
After Ms. Lu finished two rounds of Zhuan Falun, she was able to get up on her own and walk around normally. One week later, her husband suggested that she visit and thank me for her quick recovery.
I returned all the gifts they brought me, and from that point on Ms. Lu began practicing Falun Dafa. Her husband began greeting me with a smile from ear to ear whenever he saw me.
