(Minghui.org) My health improved dramatically after I began to practice Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) in 1995. I suffered from many illnesses since childhood but they disappeared after I began practicing. I haven’t needed any medication for more than thirty years. Thank you, Master, for your painstaking salvation! I’d like to share my personal experiences about how I benefited from Master’s greatness and the wonders of Dafa!
One afternoon a few years ago, I was walking by the river with two other practitioners. A man in his fifties pushed a bicycle toward us. He looked bewildered and said, “Please save me!” I was concerned and puzzled. I explained the facts about Falun Dafa to him. He responded, “I can’t hear anything. I’ve been deaf since I graduated from junior high school.”
I took out a pen and a piece of paper to patiently explain the facts of Falun Dafa to him: what Falun Dafa is, why former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Jiang Zemin persecuted Falun Dafa, and why he should quit the CCP and the Communist Youth League. After he understood, he nodded and agreed to quit the Youth League and other CCP organizations he’d joined. I told him to sincerely recite: “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” He nodded happily and left after receiving a Dafa pamphlet and an amulet from me.
After a short while, I saw him standing in front of a cement pipe and using all of his strength to lift it, with a cry of “Ah!”, but the pipe didn’t budge. I could tell that he was distraught and tried to release his temper by pulling the pipe. I told the other practitioners that we should return in a few days to give him the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
On the third day, we went back to the riverbank and sure enough he was there, pushing a bicycle with his wife. She approached us with a smile, placed a cushion on a stool, and silently invited us to chat with her husband. He exclaimed, “This Dafa is amazing! Amazing! I can hear!” He expressed his deep gratitude to Master and Dafa!
We talked more about Dafa with him, and gave him the book Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. He was grateful.
In 2020, I was imprisoned for talking to people about Falun Dafa. Many inmates viewed me with suspicion, having been influenced by the CCP propaganda that slandered Falun Dafa. However, through everyday interactions, they saw my kindness and their attitudes changed.
An inmate told me, “You Falun Dafa practitioners are truly different: so kind and considerate. If everyone were like you, the world would be wonderful.” Several inmates withdrew from the CCP and its associated organizations after learning the truth about Falun Dafa. There were two inmates who were convicted of murder who had no support from anyone. I gave them clothes and tried to help them as much as I could. They were moved by my kindness. Several inmates wanted to give me their eggs, a rare part of prison meals, to show their gratitude.
The prison pressured me to sign a confession and repentance statement every month. Despite being beaten and verbally abused by inmates for refusing to sign false confessions, I remained true to my beliefs. The police took no action against the inmates who persecuted me. I was later transferred to a cell where newly arrived criminals were held. Every day, they watched TV in the hall, leaving me inside with another inmate to monitor me under the guard’s orders. I used the opportunity to explain the facts about Falun Dafa to the inmate. We became very close after she saw my kind behavior. She stopped monitoring me and even helped by providing me with food and daily necessities. By interacting with me, she knew that practitioners are good people.
One day, a rural woman in her fifties was sent to the cell for “attacking” an officer. She had epilepsy and chronic illnesses and the inmates often mocked her for her seizures and poor hygiene. I quietly helped her with medication, bathed her, washed her clothes, and comforted her. After she injured her leg in a fall, the ridicule continued. I supported her every day by helping her walk, wash, brush her teeth, and go to the toilet. I even did her laundry which was often contaminated with urine and feces. I used to have a strong obsession with cleanliness. If I didn’t practice Falun Dafa, I wouldn’t have been able to help her use the toilet or clean her.
In prison, both bathing and washing clothes are done directly from the tap. In winter, the tap water was piercingly cold. Whenever I helped her bathe, I gave her some of the water I saved, or I filled a thermos with hot water. She was very moved. Since she was more than ten years younger than I, she started to call me auntie.
Since she often wet her pants and didn’t have enough underwear or shorts to change into, I gave her some of my clothes and put them in her suitcase. One time, I opened her suitcase to get her a change of clothes. Without knowing the background, the cell inmate head scolded me because we were not supposed to open other people’s suitcases. I didn’t say anything and went to the bathroom to bring the rural woman some clean shorts. Afterwards, the cell head asked me, “Did what I say the other day bother you?” I replied, “I’m a cultivator. No matter what problems I encounter, I must look for my shortcomings. I won’t blame you.” She looked at me and smiled. When I was about to be released, the cell head sincerely said, “You indeed follow Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.” I smiled and said nothing, thinking to myself that I was still far from meeting Dafa’s standards.
After injuring her leg, the rural woman could not attend activities in the main hall. This gave her more time to listen as I shared the facts about Dafa, traditional culture, and the concept of karma. She appeared to gain a deeper understanding of life’s principles and even asked if her broken leg was a form of karmic retribution. I encouraged her to break the habit of cursing, explaining that such behavior generates karma that one must eventually pay for all the wrong things one did. Afterwards she was able to restrain herself.
She asked me, “If Falun Gong is so good, why does the Communist Party suppress it?” I told her, “The Communist Party doesn’t allow people to have faith. It promotes atheism, forbids people to speak the truth, and forces people to believe in the Party. The Communist Party promotes a philosophy of fighting to battle against heaven and earth. They don’t permit people to believe in God. Not knowing God, people aren’t concerned about retribution when they do evil. That’s why people nowadays dare to do bad things without restraint. Falun Gong had only been introduced in China for seven years, but millions of people were practicing it. Falun Gong has miraculous effects in resolving illnesses and improving health. It encourages people to value virtue and be kind, to do good deeds, to be good people according to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and to be considerate of others. When former CCP leader Jiang Zemin saw so many people practicing Falun Gong, more than the number of Communist Party members, he became jealous and ordered a crackdown. He couldn’t find any fault with Falun Gong, so he fabricated reasons to smear and persecute Falun Gong, and began deceiving the world with lies.”
After understanding the facts about Dafa, the woman sincerely recited, “Falun Dafa is good.” A little over a month later, she was able to walk again.
Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation!
