(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa before the persecution started on July 20, 1999. I’ve made it to today because of Master’s compassionate protection and enlightenment. Being able to practice Dafa is the greatest honor of my life.
Before I began practicing I was afflicted with many illnesses including insomnia and memory loss. I had low blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, asthma and allergy rhinitis, Meniere’s syndrome, stomach problems, gynecologic issues, back pain, arthritis, and hip pain. My jaw sometimes became dislocated, which affected my ability to eat and talk.
Even though I just turned 30, I rarely laughed and I often felt depressed. I did not understand why others were so happy. My constant pain and illnesses made me lose confidence in life. At 40 I looked like an old lady and I was irritable and grumpy. I felt life was unfair.
At the most difficult time of my life, I was fortunate to obtain Dafa. Master saved me and changed my tragic life. No words can adequately express my infinite gratitude to Master. As I write this, I shed tears of thanks and joy.
Not long after I began practicing I was involved in two car accidents. I was not injured, and I realized I repaid my karmic debt. I later understood that Master took on my massive karmic debt and endured the sins that I incurred in my many previous lifetimes.
The first day when I went to the exercise site and did the standing stance, my arms felt as light as if a string held them up, and my feet did not seem to touch the ground. When I held the wheel on both sides of my head, I felt something was flowing down from my ear, and I unconsciously touched it, but I couldn’t feel anything. Afterwards my jaw stop dislocating. That was thirty years ago. When I held the wheel above my head I felt a large hand pressing and pushing; afterwards my lumbar disc protrusion was gone!
Shortly after I began practicing Master opened my third eye. I was able to see colorful halos, even when my eyes were closed. I often see a line of text that stands out prominently, which is Master’s hint to me to pay special attention to keep improving in a certain aspect. After I read Zhuan Falun, I gradually came to understand that the root cause of illness and all misfortunes in life is karma.
After I understood some Fa principles, I thought: “I want to cultivate and be a truly good person.” After I participated in the group Fa study, I felt I was still far from the standard of a good person that Master guides us to be. The other practitioners were humble and considerate of each other, and treated others with sincerity and kindness. When studying the Fa with fellow practitioners, I felt as if an electric current was flowing through my body, and the energy field was powerful.
I began abiding by the principles of Dafa, and held myself to the standards of a practitioner. As my xinxing improved my illnesses gradually disappeared. After practicing for nearly two years, I gained 20 pounds despite having diarrhea for a long time. I previously suffered from tuberculosis, but after practicing for a year, the doctor said that my X-ray was now clear! My complexion became rosy and fair; I had endless energy, and I truly experienced the joy of being illness-free!
The changes in my physical and mental state were evident to my superiors and coworkers—they witnessed the remarkable healing power of Falun Dafa in me. Master teaches us to be good people wherever we are. Those who interact with me regularly noticed that I became friendly. My family and friends are all aware that “Falun Dafa is good” and have benefited from it, receiving blessings in return.
My family members have benefited the most from Dafa. My mother saw the enormous change in me, and she was grateful to Master, so she also started practicing. My whole family watched Master’s lecture videos and benefited from Dafa to varying degrees. They have all survived the COVID-19 pandemic.
I am 68, but I feel healthier now than I did when I was 40. I persevere in doing the three things a Falun Dafa practitioner should do. Master purified my body and extended my life; I will fulfill my historic vow to assist Master in rectifying the Fa.
Because of my efforts to sue former Chinese head Jiang Zemin, the main perpetrator of persecuting Falun Dafa, and distribute informational materials while clarifying the truth face-to-face, I have been repeatedly persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party police, including being arrested and having my home ransacked. Under the guidance and blessings of Master, I persevered with righteous thoughts. My determination to practice Falun Dafa never wavered.
At this critical moment in the history of the final Fa-Rectification we should cherish this precious time that Master has extended with great endurance and cultivate away our complacency, laziness, and many human attachments. I now make sure I send forth righteous thoughts at the four set times every day specified by Minghui, and I add at least four more.
I felt Master’s blessing and the immense power of Dafa. During the process of sending forth righteous thoughts, not only did I feel the fields in the other dimensions become brighter, but I also felt my body expand, accompanied by an incredible sensation of being continuously purified and elevated by Dafa.
Master told us:
“Dafa is the Way of the universe, and it is beyond harm’s reach. What is really happening in this world is that Dafa is saving lives! And what really matters is whether people’s thoughts and motives make the grade, rather than who has what position in an organization or whether the position is important.” (“Critical Times Reveal One’s Spiritual State”)
No matter whether we are in China or abroad, no matter what kind of tribulation we experience, Master is using the old forces’ arrangement to help us achieve perfection in the highest universe, Dafa.
No matter how rampant the evil may be, it cannot escape Master. He has granted us the opportunity to establish our virtue and merit. As Falun Dafa practitioners, we are honored to assist Master in saving sentient beings in this lifetime. This is because Master has chosen us, cherishes us, and is refining us. This is the honor bestowed on us by Master—the opportunities that have never existed before and will never exist again!
Master’s grace will forever remain in my heart. Dafa will always be the driving force behind my progress. I will always honor and uphold Master and Dafa. Regardless of the external circumstances that may arise, I will remain steadfast. Nothing can alter my unwavering belief in walking the path of the divine or the steadfast steps I take forward. I will cherish everything that Master has given me, fulfill my vows, and live up to my mission.
