(Minghui.org) When I was young, I was weak and sickly. A fortune teller predicted that I wouldn’t live past the age of twelve, but I managed to overcome all these obstacles as if I were being protected.
I was poor, but I excelled academically. Later I went to medical college and became a doctor.
Although I studied medicine, I was constantly plagued by my illnesses. I had hypertension, heart disease, degeneration of my spine, and skin discoloration and I suffered multiple heart attacks. By the time I retired, I felt as if my physical body couldn’t last any longer. I’d learned everything I could about medicine, but couldn’t resolve my own illnesses.
When I was at my wits’ end, a relative who practiced Falun Dafa came from far away to visit me and tried to persuade me to practice Dafa. At first, I was ungrateful and even spoke harshly to him. He wasn’t discouraged and came back again later.
In the winter of 2016, he visited me again. When my family saw that this relative was in good health and had good character, they encouraged me to learn Dafa from him.
I was still skeptical and said I would only learn the exercises but nothing else. He was delighted and taught me the exercises. I learned all five exercises in one day and was able to double-cross my legs right from the start. I felt very comfortable and relaxed when hearing the exercise music and Master’s voice. When I closed my eyes, I saw Falun (law wheels) spinning in the sky that were transparent, and the view was fantastic. I thought to myself, I’ve got to read the book too!
I began reading Zhuan Falun. As I read, I couldn’t help crying, wondering why such a good practice was being persecuted. What has happened to my country? Why is the Communist Party, which I have always believed in, suppressing this practice?
As I studied the Fa and did the exercises, my body underwent a transformation. I read all of Master’s teachings six times, and all my life’s questions were answered. I am grateful for Master’s immense compassion and salvation.
I started practicing late, so I knew time was precious if I wanted to keep up with Master’s progress. To speed up my cultivation, in addition to studying a lecture, doing the exercises, and sending forth righteous thoughts every day, I persisted in memorizing the Fa. In the past seven years, I have memorized Zhuan Falun ten times, as well as Hong Yin and Hong Yin II.
There have been various kinds of interference during my cultivation, but I deeply understand that, as long as I believe in Master and the Fa, there will be no problem.
During times of tribulation and hardship, I remember Master’s teaching:
“Disciples’ righteous thoughts are strongMaster has the power to turn the tide” (Master-Disciple Grace, HongYin II)
After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I stopped taking all kinds of medical treatments. Two years later, my health was completely restored, which is a miracle in modern medicine. My heart disease, hypertension and spinal problems disappeared. Now everyone who sees me says I’m looking younger and prettier. They asked me what I’d been doing to look after myself. I use this opportunity to introduce Dafa and clarify the truth to them.
During the three years of the pandemic, I didn’t want to be vaccinated. But after being pressured by society, my workplace, and my family, I went to the hospital. Thanks to Master’s help, my blood pressure was too high, and the doctor refused to vaccinate me unless I first took some medicine to lower my blood pressure. I didn’t take it.
During that time, I was the one going out to get groceries and I was fine; my family was impressed with the wonderfulness of Dafa.
A relative of mine saw my amazing recovery and also began practicing Falun Dafa. She had end-stage liver disease and had been in the ICU several times. After practicing for a while, she completely recovered, which her doctor found incredible.
My mother-in-law in her 80s benefited after reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The fatty lumps all over her body disappeared, her legs and feet became more flexible, and she is more energetic. She said, “What Master said has manifested in me!”
I will do well the three things Master requires of us and be diligent on my path of cultivation.
