(Minghui.org) I used to have severe thyroid nodules. I went to several major hospitals and had the lumps removed. But more developed soon after. I was in a lot of pain and spent a lot of money. I became very depressed.
A neighbor suggested, “Why don’t you try Falun Dafa? Many people have had their illnesses resolved after they practiced Falun Dafa.” Every time we talked, she advised me to try the practice. I very much appreciated her concern. I finally decided to give it a try.
I began to practice Falun Dafa in 2005. Soon after, something amazing happened—not only did my thyroid nodules disappear, my other diseases were gone. I was convinced that Falun Dafa was extraordinary. I continued studying the Fa and doing the exercises.
I couldn’t do any housework before due to my illnesses. My husband had to take care of me. After my illnesses disappeared, he was really happy. We no longer wasted money on medical treatments and I could work again. But he later decided that I should not practice Falun Dafa. He thought I was wasting time studying the Fa and doing the exercises. He argued that I should spend all my time on housework.
I pointed out, “Look, we spent lots of money treating my diseases. I suffered a lot. Some days I felt like I was dying. The surgery only removed the lumps, but couldn’t prevent them from growing back. After I started to practice Falun Dafa my diseases disappeared and I became more energetic. I can do housework again. Have you forgotten this? We ought to thank Master from the bottom of our hearts. Falun Dafa saved me. You also have benefited from it. I have firm faith in Falun Dafa. I won’t stop practicing no matter what. I’m getting better and better. You’ve witnessed it yourself.”
When I clarified the truth to people face to face, I told them about my own experience of how I benefited from Falun Dafa. I also handed out pamphlets or put up posters. It’s our responsibility to save people. I thought it would be great if I could write about my experience and share it with others.
I also understood how to look inward. For example, it was so cold when I was harvesting rice in late fall that my hands were numb and clumsy. Based on my understanding of the Fa, instead of complaining, I thought it was a good thing. Master may be helping me transform my karma into gong. Immediately my entire body felt warm.
One day when I was sending forth righteous thoughts, two bugs landed on my arm. My first thought was not righteous. I worried if they would bite me. A few days later my arm did hurt. I realized that it was my mistake because I was concerned.
When my brother-in-law caught a cold I said, “Look, I don’t get sick.” A few days later I had cold symptoms. I immediately realized that I had zealotry and the mentality of showing off. After I corrected my thoughts, the symptoms were gone.
I understand very well the benefits I obtained from Dafa. Through studying the Fa and doing the exercises, I’ve become not only physically and mentally healthier, but also more cheerful. I feel so much joy to be a good person and to discipline myself based on Falun Dafa's principles, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.
