(Minghui.org) When Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, gave a nine-day lecture series in Chongqing in 1994, I was fortunate enough to attend.

Although I was only 48 at the time, I had all kinds of health issues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, abnormal growths in my backbone, gallstones, kidney stones, and ear problems. I also had problems with my heart and brain, which made me pass out for no apparent reason. During the first two days of Master’s lectures, I fell asleep as soon as the class started. But after the lectures, I could remember everything Master had said.

This was just like Master said in Zhuan Falun,

“A few individuals may fall asleep and wake up as soon as I finish my lecture. Why is that? It is because their brains have illnesses that need to be treated. One will be unable to stand it if one’s brain is worked on. Therefore, the person must be put into a state of anesthesia so he doesn’t know. Yet, some people do not have a problem hearing me. Though they may sleep soundly, they hear everything without missing a single word. They will become very alert afterward and will not feel sleepy even if they go two days without sleep.” (Lecture Two, Zhuan Falun)

Shortly after I took up Falun Dafa, I regained my health completely. That was almost 29 years ago, and I have never had a relapse. People who know I practice Dafa are impressed with Dafa’s health benefits.

After the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in 2004, a new movement started to help people quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). So that they don’t become accomplices to the CCP’s crimes, I’ve been trying to persuade my friends and classmates to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations since 2005. I first explain how the CCP persecutes Falun Dafa, slanders the practice, and even kills practitioners to harvest their organs. Most of my friends have agreed to quit. However, a few close friends were hesitant, because they didn’t fully understand why they should.

One day, I heard that one of these hesitant friends, my classmate Lan, had fallen. She broke her arm, injured her back, and was bedridden for seven days. I went to see her and told her how my mother had been protected after withdrawing from the CCP. I said that my mother had a fall but wasn’t hurt, even though she was in her 90s. Because Lan was a close friend, I told her plainly that if she would listen to me and quit the CCP, she wouldn’t have to keep suffering like this. She finally agreed to quit and so did her husband. I told her to recite the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” as this would also bring blessings.

Lan’s granddaughter was 10 years old. When she heard that her grandpa and grandma had withdrawn from the CCP, she asked me to help her quit the Young Pioneers. I did and gave her an amulet. As I was leaving, she came running out of her grandmother’s bedroom, shouting, “Grandma just got up!” I went back and saw Lan was out of bed and back on her feet.

That night, Lan called and said, “What you said was true. I kept reciting the auspicious phrases all afternoon and feel great.” I told her, “You’ll get better if you continue reciting the phrases.”

The next night, Lan called and said she had walked a few blocks that day and wanted to thank me. I said, “You should thank Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa.”

Lan later shared her story with another classmate, Kang. When I ran into Kang and her husband a few days later, they told me that they had heard about Lan’s amazing recovery and asked me to help them quit the CCP.
