Diabetic Symptoms Disappear After I Finally Began Practicing Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) I grew up in a family of cultivators and began practicing Falun Dafa after I suffered severely with the symptoms of diabetes. I feel fortunate and extremely grateful to compassionate Master for giving me a second chance in life. 

My father is a veteran practitioner who started cultivating before July 20, 1999. When I was small, he often told me, “One should value virtue. Virtue is the most important thing in the world and it can't be exchanged for any amount of money! One should also be tolerant and not fight over petty things.”

My father had started cultivating Falun Dafa after he suffered a stroke. He recovered from the after effects of the stroke after practicing Dafa for a couple of days. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the former head of CCP Jiang Zemin launched the nationwide persecution of Falun Dafa in July 1999. My father decided to go to Beijing to validate Dafa. As my father appealed for Falun Dafa on Tiananmen Square in 2000, he was seized by police and incarcerated in a labor camp. I was still young at that time. 

Someone reported my father to the police while he was distributing Falun Dafa flyers one day in 2002. He was arrested and sentenced to four years in prison.

My mother had a hot temper, and she started to hold a grudge against my father. She had to find a job to support our family, and I was left home alone.

I was still in elementary school when policemen barged into our house at around 2 a.m. one morning. They ransacked our house and left it a mess. I was trembling with fear and hid under the bed covers. It seemed like my world had almost collapsed right in front of me.

The police went to my school to harass me, wanting to use my words as leverage to threaten my father. I was at my wits' end and my mother cried almost every day. She started to smoke and her hair turned white. She had to leave me home by myself when she went to work. Our family was torn apart.

I sometimes envied people who had a complete family. I was unable to see hope and felt that life was meaningless. 

Dafa Changed My Heart

After my father was released from prison, he became a taxi driver to support our family’s frugal way of living.

Life was not easy for my mother during the four years when my father was in prison. She suffered a stroke and lost the sensation in one of her legs. My mother started cultivating Dafa after other family members convinced her to give it a try. My mother had been hot tempered in the past, and would curse at anyone who got in her way and had been extremely selfish. She’d argue over petty things and no one could reason with her. It was a miracle to see the changes in her after she began cultivating Dafa. My mother no longer argued over petty things and was more tolerant and put others first. 

I was also happy to know that my parents had reconciled. Dafa bestowed me with a complete family. 

Embarking on My Cultivation Path

My father tried to persuade me to cultivate Dafa when I was 19 years old, but I had poor enlightenment quality at the time and still wanted to accomplish something in life. I said, “I know Dafa is good. I will cultivate Dafa in a couple of years.”

I experienced the worst times in my life from 2015 to 2017. I was devastated from pursuing fame and fortune. I had an emotional breakdown. 

I was diagnosed with diabetes and had to constantly take medicine and receive shots. But even on an empty stomach, my sugar level was high. I experienced a symptom called “diabetic ketoacidosis” in 2017. My stomach hurt so much that I was unable to straighten my back. I was also extremely thirsty, but would vomit if I drank anything. I almost fainted. 

The doctors said I needed to be hospitalized and sent me to the emergency room. My sugar level was still very high after being discharged from the hospital after 20 days. 

I was taken to the emergency room again in 2018. The hospital issued a notice of critical condition and the doctors were puzzled as to why my sugar level was not decreasing. They placed an insulin pump, which was a small computerized device that delivers insulin through a thin tube, under my skin. It was placed in my arm and would release different dosages of insulin based on my blood sugar levels.

My whole body started swell up. My eyes were so swollen that I could barely open them. Aside from taking trips to the bathroom and eating, I spent most of my time in bed. My sugar level was still high for several days. 

It was heart-wrenching for my parents to see me like that. They urged me to cultivate Falun Dafa and told me that only Master could save me.

I heard a familiar voice from afar telling me, “Child, it is time!” I replied to my parents almost immediately, “Yes, I will cultivate!”

My parents were overjoyed because they knew that I would be saved.

My parents and I studied the Fa and practiced the meditation on my bed that same day. A miracle happened the very next day. My sugar levels decreased and the doctor was puzzled. He said, “How did the sugar level decrease today?” My parents knew clearly that Master was protecting me.

My parents suggested that I be discharged from the hospital. When the doctor heard this, he said, “No, it is too dangerous for your daughter to be discharged now! How could you do this as parents? Your daughter’s illness will relapse within two weeks. Why can’t you think about your daughter’s well being? She is only 20 years old.” The doctor reprimanded my parents. 

My mother asked, “Do you believe in Master? Or do you wish to stay in the hospital?”

I replied, “I want to be discharged from the hospital. I will practice the exercises.”

The doctor had my parents sign a liability agreement before I was discharged. I began studying the Fa and practicing the exercises with my parents when we got home. I adhered to the xinxing requirements and recited Master’s Fa when I experienced interference.

Master said, 

“Reaching Consummation, obtaining Buddha’s Fruit, Eating bitterness treated as joy. Toiling the body does not count as bitterness,Cultivating the heart is most agonizing.Each and every barrier must be broken through,Here and there, demons are everywhere.A hundred hardships falling all at once,See how one lives.Able to endure suffering in the world,Transcending the world, is a Buddha.”

(“Tempering One’s Heart and Will,” Hong Yin)

Master’s Fa illuminated my path and gave me direction in life.

I have not needed any medicine or insulin shots since 2018. I eat what I want and have never been sick.

It is great and magnificent Master who saved me and gave me a second chance in life. No words can describe my boundless gratitude to Master.
