(Minghui.org) My health was going downhill fast before I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. I felt dizzy and had heart palpitations and muscle spasms in my hand all the time. I would take many types of medications in the winter months. I had been to many Chinese and Western medical doctors and different hospitals, and my father even took me to temples to pray for my health. But nothing worked.
After a while, my mother-in-law accused me of faking my illness. My husband and my coworkers called me “a medicine jar” because I took so many pills. I went to the temple and prayed to gods twice a month. One day in 1998, I suddenly didn’t want to go there and pray. I started practicing Falun Dafa later that year.
After cultivating for a few days, Master Li (Falun Dafa’s founder) started to purify my body even though I hadn’t yet learned all five exercises. One day, I began to have diarrhea and felt much better the next day. Then came the coughs. I coughed every two minutes, and sometimes the coughing was extreme. This lasted for a full week. I couldn’t even sleep because of it.
I didn’t want to bother my husband and my child with my coughing, so I slept on the sofa. After I stopped coughing, my husband started. He was weak and couldn’t stand the coughing anymore, so he went to see a doctor. My cough lasted for a week, but I didn’t feel weak and still took care of my two kids and did all of the housework. I realized, through my husband, that Master was trying to encourage me in my cultivation and show me that cultivators don’t get sick. It was a sign of eliminating karma. As I studied the Fa, did the exercises, and lived by the standards of the Fa, I learned how to become a better person every single day, and I have not been sick. I even look younger than before.
Master said, “By doing a practice for both mind and body, you will gain a youthful appearance and look much younger than your years.” (The Fifth Talk, Zhuan Falun)
Although I was in my 40s, I looked younger than my real age and had no wrinkles on my face. When I went to another practitioner’s house, the practitioner asked her mother to guess my age. She said, “You must be in your 30s.”
Master Protected Me
I wanted to deliver truth-clarifying materials to every household in my neighborhood. But due to my attachment of fear, I always delivered materials further away from my house, because I worried that people might recognize me.
One day around lunchtime, I decided to distribute the materials in my neighborhood. When I left the house, my husband followed me. I didn’t wait for him and kept delivering the materials. When the dogs saw me, they started to bark and made me a little scared. However, I kept going. After I returned home, my husband asked, “Where did you go? I tried to follow you but I couldn’t keep up.”
I replied, “I saw you looking around behind me. I thought you were looking out for me.”
I left some materials near our window on another day. The next morning, I saw a crowd of people taking them, and some said that they’d heard the dogs barking but didn’t see anyone on the street; others said that they saw two women and a man walking by. One man asked if it was I who handed out the materials. My husband replied that I was with him the entire night and pointed to the materials near our window. The man then left. When the police came, they didn’t find anything, either. Master protected me.
A practitioner and I went outside to take down a sign that slandered Dafa. We left after lunch. The sign was next to the apartment’s management office. After sending forth righteous thoughts, we looked out at the street and saw many people coming and going. I suggested that we should do it another day when there were fewer people, but the other practitioner insisted that we do it that night.
We got closer to the sign and saw it had a glass cover and was locked. The street lights went out, so we tried to pry the lock open with a tool we had brought with us. I knew it was not the right tool. We decided to send righteous thoughts. The lock broke loose, and we knew Master had helped us. We broke the glass while the street lights were out and tore the sign down. We took the sign to another practitioner’s home to destroy it. After we left the area, the street lights came on again. The entire process took 10 minutes. Master protected us once more.
My Brother-in-law Recovers
About nine years ago, my brother-in-law was diagnosed with lung disease. He was scheduled to be operated on in a hospital in Wuhan. There were three other patients with a similar condition in the ward. Two of them died after surgery. The surgery cost 40,000 yuan, so my sister wanted to borrow money from me.
I told her, “Two of them died after surgery. Even if I lent you the money, we cannot guarantee the surgery will be successful. Besides, I don’t have that much to lend you. Tell him to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ He must be sincere and believe that my Master can help him.”
In the end, he didn’t have the operation and went home. After reciting the phrases for a month, he came to see me and said, “Your practice is so amazing—I recovered.”
My sister told me that he recited those words every day before heading outside and before going to bed and when he had nothing to do.
One Person Practices, the Whole Family Benefits
My husband broke his arm and needed to have it operated on the next day. He was scared of the pain. I told him that if he was afraid of the pain then he should recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He didn’t reply.
When I saw him the next day, he grinned at me, saying, “My arm doesn’t hurt anymore, and I don’t need an operation.” I asked if he had recited the words. He didn’t answer.
Amazing things like this have happened to my children, sisters, and grandchildren. My entire family has benefited from my practicing Dafa.
All Falun Dafa practitioners have had experiences like these. I wanted to share a few of mine to validate the preciousness and power of Dafa, and how compassionate and great Master is. I also wanted to inform everyone of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) lies and propaganda and ask them to understand the truth about Dafa and be saved.
