(Minghui.org) I am relatively new to Falun Gong, having picked up the practice only in 2009. Within these few short years, I have rid myself of a variety of health problems and was able to experience what it feels like to be completely illness-free for the first time in my life.
Kidney Cancer Disappears
To put it bluntly, I was on my way to an early death before coming across Falun Gong. My left kidney was surgically removed due to cancer. After the surgery, I was in bad shape.
I ached everywhere, and I couldn't breathe or fall asleep unless I sat up. I was hospitalized, but my doctor didn't want to waste time on me. It got to the point where my friends were already discussing my funeral.
A friend introduced me to Falun Gong in 2009, and I was thus given a second chance at life. My long list of ailments – including rheumatism, leg pain, spinal disc herniation, neurosis, swollen liver, heart disease, dry eye and gastrointestinal inflammation – disappeared magically without a trace.
To this day, they have not returned.
Impact on My Family
Falun Gong has saved me from so much physical pain and from exorbitant medical expenses. Because of the practice, a woman in her 60s like me is able to work hard and earn her keep.
I earned enough to help my son pay off the loan used to cover the down payment for his house. I had always worried about my son's job and career advancement, and taking this financial burden off his shoulders helped him greatly.
He began to get one promotion after another not long after I became a practitioner. He is now in charge of his work unit. I truly believe that my practice has helped him, too.
Becoming a Calmer, Happier Person
Aside from health benefits, I have also become a calmer, happier person thanks to my fellow practitioners.
During my early days as a practitioner, conflicts arose between me and other practitioners. I picked on them and didn't know how to look within for my own faults.
Though these practitioners were wronged, they never argued with me. They gradually influenced me for the better, and I began to see their precious qualities.
I learned things that I couldn't have from ordinary people. I decided to control my temper and emotions, and tried hard to live by the Falun Gong principles of Truthfulness-Forbearance-Compassion.
As time went by, I have gradually learned to look within myself for where I could do better.
Urging People to Quit the CCP
Even though I'm a latecomer that hasn't been directly persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), I am determined to share my story with others and urge them to sever ties with the CCP. After all, I don't want to see anyone blamed as an accessory to the CCP when it is prosecuted for the wrongs done to Falun Gong practitioners.
On a rainy day in July 2013, I took shelter under a metal shed with two men. I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and tried to tell them about Falun Gong and the persecution as the storm kept us inside.
The older man told me that he was a probationary member of the CCP. I warned him that no one wants to be a CCP member at this time in history.
“Millions couldn't wait to quit,” I said.
He soon agreed to let me help him quit the CCP.
The other man said that he had never joined any CCP affiliated organizations. Before I could say anything, a bolt of lightning struck behind the man who had just quit the CCP.
I was stunned at first, but after gathering my wits about me, I saw that the man was still sitting there without a scratch.
“Quick, thank my Master,” I told him, “If it weren't for him, you would've been hit by the lightning.”
