Bi Li shared that she had recently heard that many practitioners were going through illness karma tribulations. She understood that many incorrect states of the body are related to the attachment to complaints and hatred. Some practitioners had not handled relationships with their family members well. Bi Li shared that she also often complained about her daughter and grandchildren. They were sometimes disrespectful to her and did some things which does not accord with her thinking. This made her feel that the younger generation were not filial to her, so she felt very unhappy in her heart.
However, she changed her thinking and realized that everyone has their flaws, and she also has flaws. People should learn to be accommodating of one another.
In addition, Bi Li’s husband had retired and helped her with some household chores. She initially felt that this was what he should be doing. But later, she felt her thinking was not correct, so she changed herself to treat her husband with gratitude. Now her family is becoming more and more harmonious.
Rong Gui shared that he is a practitioner who “dropped out of the group” for more than 10 years. A friend introduced Falun Dafa to him in 2002, after one of his family members was ill. After taking one look at Zhuan Falun, Rong Gui felt that it was not a normal book.
“I was very shocked at that time. I felt that the things that were being mentioned in the book were too good. It was like a heavenly book. I could feel that there was a miraculous energy inside this book, and I was really being subdued by the contents in the book.” Rong Gui started his cultivation in Falun Dafa.
Rong Gui later went to study in the United States and obtained a Ph. D. in mechanical engineering. After returning to Taiwan, he set up a hydrogen application technology company. Due to his studies and career, he gradually forgot to study the Fa and practice the exercises. This slack state lasted for more than 10 years. At the end of 2021, Rong Gui suddenly felt discomfort in his body and was diagnosed with a rare mixed germ cell tumor, and the cancer cells were spreading quickly.
After learning about his diagnosis, Rong Gui was very calm. He felt that this was a chance for him to return to cultivate properly. “I know that this illness was not by accident. It must have been largely related to my cultivation.”
After the diagnosis, the doctor decided to carry out chemotherapy and after going through chemotherapy. Rong Gui became very haggard, but his indicators had yet to drop to the standard level. At that time, his body could no longer take the intense treatments. His doctor suggested that he return home to recuperate. At this time, Rong Gui had already started to study the Fa and practice the exercises again. But when he first started practicing the exercises, it was very difficult.
“Once I moved my body, I needed to stop to sit on the floor. Otherwise, I would see stars and would not be able to stand up. I would feel like I was going to faint,” he recalled. But within less than 10 days, Rong Gui was able to stand and complete the first four sets of exercises, which last for an hour. He did not need to stop and rest in the middle, and his physical energy recovered very quickly. This made him feel that it was so miraculous.
But by this time, the cancer index was still climbing. The doctor told him that he must go for surgery, and this surgery was going to cause serious harm to his body. After hearing this news, Rong Gui was stunned. After thinking things through, he made up his mind and decided to let Master arrange everything. After that, the cancer index went down greatly! Two months later, the index had already dropped to the point that the machine could no longer detect it.
When the doctor saw the index, he asked Rong Gui what he did after he went home. Rong Gui replied that he cultivated in Falun Dafa. At that time, the doctor did not fully believe him. It was not until Rong Gui totally recovered that the doctor started to believe him, and even wrote it down in the diagnosis records. Later, when Rong Gui went back for a check up, the doctor was totally convinced and said, “This practice that you are all practicing is so powerful. I also want to learn Falun Dafa.”
Zheng Xiang shared that they helped to maintain order during the Shen Yun performances. Many audience members came from Vietnam this year to watch Shen Yun. There was feedback that the Vietnamese audience had different watching habits compared with people from Taiwan’s society. The Shen Yun performance was still not available in Vietnam, so many people came to Taiwan to “chase after Shen Yun,” as Zheng Xiang put it. These people should be welcomed wholeheartedly. As for the etiquette for attending the performance, practitioners specially explained some key things to the Vietnamese audience members before the show. After trying that out, the Vietnam audience was very cooperative and the effect was very good. The great number of audience members who came overseas to chase after Shen Yun also left a deep impression on the theater management.
Yu Mei shared that this year’s “Nine Day Fa Study and Exercise Class” in January actually coincided with the New Year. The practitioners organizing it were all wondering whether they should stop holding the classes for one session and continue the following month. Yu Mei decided that if nobody called to ask about the class, the classes would stop for that month, since it coincided with the New Year. She had just finished saying that when she received a phone calling asking about the classes. A practitioner wanted to bring his family to come and attend the nine day classes, and they would only be free during the New Year period. Yu Mei coordinated with other practitioners to change the nine day class times to the afternoon. It then would not affect their reunion dinners with their families. In the end, the session of classes was held very successfully.
