(Minghui.org) I was introduced to Falun Dafa in 1994. My husband was suffering from heart disease and nasal inflammation at the time. There was not a day he felt well.
Qigong was popular throughout the whole country at that time. Many people improved their health through practicing some type of qigong, and among these cultivation systems, Falun Gong was the most well-known. It was known that many practitioners miraculously recovered from rare ailments after practicing it.
When my husband heard that Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, was coming to our city to hold classes he immediately signed up. After attending the classes, he understood what cultivation was, and that one should strive to be a selfless and good person. He heard that one should follow the Dafa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. In that instant, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him, and his body felt light. He then realized that he had recovered from his long-term illness of heart disease and nasal inflammation. Upon returning home, he told me excitedly what he experienced during the lectures. He finally knew how amazing it was to be free of ailments!
Despite witnessing my husband’s recovery from his health issues I did not step on the cultivation path, as I was too busy with my work. I only began to practice it with him in 1997 after I retired. I gradually realized how amazing and extraordinary Dafa is.
Just like my husband, I used to suffer from many health problems, including a chronic nasal condition, and narrowing of the trachea. I even vomited blood from time to time.
The first time I did the exercises I felt a warm current flow through my body. I had never felt so comfortable before. I kept doing the exercises. Unexpectedly, all my illnesses were gone a few months later, and I stopped vomiting blood.
At one point, I developed shingles on my back. My back was covered with tiny, itchy bumps. They quickly spread in a circle around my waist. Within a few weeks, the rash almost formed a circle like a coiled-up snake. I heard in the past that when the head and tail of the snake meet, one is close to death. I remained calm and was determined to believe in Master and the Fa. I persisted in studying the Fa, doing the exercises, and did not pay attention to my condition.
At the time, I walked quite a distance to a practice site every day to do the exercises with other practitioners. They encouraged me. Then, after about a week, to my surprise, I discovered that the rash stopped spreading. And the blisters began to shrivel. Every day I could see them subsiding until they were as small as my nail. In the end they completely disappeared.
Over a year ago, I experienced another sickness karma test. I developed varicose veins in my calves and a sore that became red and swollen. Blood and water constantly seeped out from the sore and I was not able to sit in the full lotus position during the sitting meditation. Despite sending righteous thoughts for long periods of time, the condition persisted, and I became anxious.
I found many attachments upon looking within, but the problem did not go away. I became alarmed. My daughter was worried and took me to the hospital for an examination. The doctor said if this continued, my leg would have to be amputated. This was a shock. My daughter inquired everywhere for a cure, hoping to save my leg. She later brought me herbal medicine, but after applying it to the wound, the sore became more swollen and worsened. I had difficulty walking.
Just as I was at a loss, practitioner Amin, with whom I often shared cultivation experiences, said, “Don't pay any heed to it, don’t look at it, practitioners don’t have any illnesses!”
I made up my mind to continue studying the Fa and doing the exercises. I went out every day to clarify the truth about Dafa face-to-face. At the same time I was careful not to get water on my sore when taking a bath. Amin persuaded me to let go of my attachment to my sickness completely and take my baths normally. I realized I had not thoroughly let go of my notion of illness, and cared too much about the various symptoms that appeared on my body. I resolved to forget about the sore on my leg and took my baths as usual. I was not bothered when water got onto the wound.
Then, I had a dream one night. In my dream, a tiny green snake crawled off my leg. I killed it and when I woke up, I found that blood had stopped oozing from the sore. Gradually, flesh began to grow back on my leg and I was able to sit with both legs up in meditation. I was even in better condition than before, and now my calves are completely normal. One cannot see that it once had a sore.
Master gave me opportunities time and again all these years and helped me eliminate my karma as well as let go of my attachment to illness. Master showed me miracles on many occasions and protected me in times of danger. Thank you Master.
After the persecution began in July 1999, I was placed under strict surveillance. Every day, several people were outside my building. Despite this pressure, my husband and I persisted in going out daily to clarify the truth and distributing information that spoke of Falun Dafa being wonderful. Protected by Master, we did not experience the persecution. I have gone out every day looking for predestined people, and talking to them about Falun Dafa.
I clarify the truth to people while waiting for the bus and when buying daily necessities. I run into people who scold me and take videos. Some even grab my arm and threaten to call the police. Others have said, “I will quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) if you give me money.” I was neither afraid nor upset when I encountered such situations. I kept calm and patiently explained the facts to them. I know they have been misled by the CCP's lies vilifying Dafa. I am here to dispel these lies and tell them about the preciousness of Dafa. In fact, I was nearly arrested on several occasions, but with Master’s protection, I avoided being persecuted every time.
As time passes, more and more people realize that Falun Dafa teaches one to be a good person, and understand how brutal the persecution is. I often meet people who would thank me after hearing the facts. Some bow to show their respect, while others want to give me money after taking the Dafa brochures.
I am filled with emotion when remembering what I experienced all these years. One time, I went to a supermarket with a practitioner to clarify the truth. We met an elderly woman. She was moved and thanked us after we told her the current pandemic is weeding out the bad people and told her she would be blessed if she remembers Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. We gave her an amulet and she accepted it. She said, “The weather is terrible today and I did not want to go out. Somehow, something forced me to go to this supermarket. I did not expect to meet divine beings today. It was not a wasted trip after all!”
