Dafa Saved Me From a Life of Misery—A Testimony to the Power of Dafa

(Minghui.org) I am 63 years old and have been practicing Falun Dafa for 27 years. Through cultivation, I have come to understand that Falun Dafa is a way that not only saves lives, but it is the foundation of life itself!

Saved from Misery Through Practicing Falun Dafa

Before I started practicing Dafa, my father-in-law died unexpectedly, and my mother-in-law suffered from a recurring mental illness. My husband often drowned his sorrows in alcohol and would beat or yell at me over trivial matters. I had to work while taking care of my one-year-old baby and my 13-year-old sister-in-law. I was also suffering from severe neuralgic headaches that made me want to die. I often felt dizzy, and fell when walking. Life was unbearably painful so I went to a fortune teller to see when my misfortune could end.

I saw a Dafa book at a bookstore in 1998 and brought it home. I stayed up all night and read the entire book in one sitting. My headaches disappeared, and I felt physically light. The comforting feeling was indescribable. I had never read such a good book before. I was so drawn to the teachings that I read Zhuan Falun three times in a row. I was deeply moved by its profound content and could not stop reading it.

I later found a practice site and learned the five sets of Dafa exercises. That night I dreamed I was doing the first exercise. Master said, “Two Dragons Diving into the Sea...” (Chapter II Illustrations and Explanations of the Exercise Movements in The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection) In my dream, two large snakes slithered down my arms. I also saw a giant ox. Someone touched my nose, and I suddenly felt nauseated and smelled beef. After that, my nose became clearer than ever before. When I woke up, my body felt light. From then on, I no longer stumbled while walking, my rhinitis disappeared, and any possessing spirits were removed. How immense is Master’s compassion! I felt truly fortunate. A single book cured illnesses that no doctor could. It was miraculous!

Studying Dafa’s teachings taught me how to be a truly good person, a person beyond the ordinary. The true meaning of life is to return to one’s original, true self. I began correcting my behavior according to Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. From then on, my family life became harmonious. Even when my mother-in-law became paralyzed, I cared for her until she passed away, without asking my siblings-in-law for a cent. I also raised my sister-in-law to adulthood. She eventually found a job and started her own family.

Dafa purified my mind and rectified my body and soul. I stopped being selfish, started considering others in everything I did, and became healthy and tolerant. My husband also quit drinking. I am deeply grateful to Dafa for saving me and my broken family. Falun Dafa is wonderful. It saves people from a sea of suffering!

Saved From Danger

I was on my way to work in the winter of 2000 when a large truck carrying cargo suddenly drove the wrong way at an intersection and hit me as I was turning my bicycle, and it was crushed underneath the truck. I felt as if someone lifted me up and set me down, as the truck brushed right past me. I waved at the driver to continue on his way and didn’t want to cause him any trouble. If I hadn’t practiced Dafa, I wouldn’t have handled it that way. I turned around to see who saved me, but there was no one there. I immediately understood that it was Master who had protected me. Tears streamed down my face. There’s no way to repay such immense grace!

I asked a colleague to help me carry the bicycle to get it repaired. He said I was foolish for not getting the driver to repair my bike, but I felt pure joy inside. I had paid off a karmic debt! I thought, “I’ve been cultivating half-heartedly, yet Master is still looking after me, saving my life unconditionally.” I knelt in my heart to thank Master. I also realized that cultivation is a serious matter, and I must truly cultivate! The language in Zhuan Falun is simple, but every word is true!

I’m not the only one who’s experienced Master’s protection. Our local assistant, Wei, had a similar experience. He was 70 years old at the time, tall and slim. After distributing truth clarifying materials, he was crossing an overpass on his way home when a dump truck came rushing across the bridge. The truck ran into his bike, and ran over him. His sneakers were torn, with deep holes, and people thought he was dead. Instead, he shouted for someone to pull him out from under the truck. He wasn’t injured at all!

The driver was terrified, and offered to take him to the hospital, but he said excitedly, “I’m a Dafa practitioner. I have Master protecting me. I’m fine!” He didn’t ask for anything from the driver. The driver bowed to him and thanked him repeatedly. Wei shared this story at the Fa study group and showed us his damaged shoes.

Practitioner Bai was arrested during her trip to Beijing to appeal for Dafa on July 20, 1999. While there, someone struck her shoulder and back with a thick wooden plank from behind. She heard a loud crack. The plank broke, but this thin, frail woman didn’t feel any pain, wasn’t hurt, and wasn’t even afraid. She told me the story when we met again.

Master said:

“...you have the protection of my fashen, and you will not be in any danger.” (Lecture Three, Zhuan Falun)

We’ve made it through all this under Master’s protection. The Fa saves people unconditionally. Master’s grace is boundless!

If We Have Righteous Thoughts, People Around Us Are Blessed

Falun Dafa teaches people to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be good people. It has miraculous effects on healing and fitness, as witnessed by many.

Middle-aged practitioner Lou had necrosis of the femoral head. After he began practicing, he regained his health. His coworkers and neighbors witnessed the healing power of Dafa. After his wife passed away, he cared for his mother-in-law for many years without complaint, and his son was admitted to his dream school.

Practitioner Fang cultivated well and influenced her family to become better people. When her son got divorced, he pinned his wife’s lover down and held a knife at the man’s throat, ready to stab him. But in that moment, he remembered what his mother told him about Falun Dafa’s teachings. He let go of his murderous intent and released the man. Later, his son found stable employment. Fang’s mother also respected Dafa, listened to the teachings, and bowed to Master’s portrait daily. She lived to be 102 years old!

After studying the Fa, I used Dafa’s principles to correct my words and actions. I always put others first, worked diligently without complaint, and often arrived early and stayed late. As a supervisor, I disciplined myself according to Dafa and treated people kindly.

I often brought gloves and rubber boots from home for the workers to use, and clarified the truth about Dafa to those around me. The manager rated me “excellent” every year. He said, “If we don’t commend you, do we even have a conscience?” I told him about Dafa and helped him quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). After understanding the truth, he received blessings, and was promoted from section chief to deputy division head, and later to full division head.

During the lawsuits against Jiang Zemin (former CCP leader, who initiated the persecution of Falun Dafa), police came to my workplace to arrest another practitioner, but failed. Another manager discovered that I had helped that practitioner leave, but instead of reprimanding me, he praised the practitioner’s selfless, hardworking attitude, and agreed to retain me. I used the opportunity to tell him about Dafa, and helped him quit the CCP. He was later promoted from section chief to deputy division head, and eventually became the top official at another workplace.

The director who helped protect the practitioner with me was told during a physical exam that he had a lung problem. He feared he had the same illness that killed his father. When he went for a re-exam, he stumbled upon the hiding place of that practitioner and informed me so we could help the practitioner relocate. I clarified the truth to him and helped him quit the Party. Two days later, he returned for another checkup. Nothing was wrong! He came and told me, “Truly, I’m blessed!”

After coworker Zhen understood the truth about Dafa and quit the CCP, he was promoted from deputy section chief to section chief, and later became a top-level official. After learning the truth, coworker Ling helped her entire family quit the CCP. Her child, who previously disliked studying, was accepted in a good university and found a high-paying job.

Young temporary worker Anping listened to the truth about Dafa and quit the CCP. One day, while repairing and raising a heavy metal pipe, the upper section broke and fell straight toward his head. He instinctively tilted his head, and the pipe brushed past him, hitting a concrete jar and smashing a hole in it.

People at the scene was startled. Anping thought someone had pulled him aside. Later, the others told me about it and said he must have had divine protection. Eventually, the company gave him a permanent position.

After listening to me clarifying the truth, coworker Bing was hit after work by someone on an electric bicycle carrying a gas tank. The tank fell and knocked him down, but he wasn’t hurt and didn’t blame the person.

The next day, he came to my office and said, “What you told me about quitting the CCP to stay safe is real! I remembered your stories, didn’t try to take advantage of the situation, and wasn’t hurt at all!”

I happily replied, “You did the right thing. You’re truly a good person!” I put my palms together in front of my chest to thank Master. He did the same, and kept thanking Master.

My sister’s parents-in-law understood the truth about Dafa and quit the CCP. Her father-in-law accepted a truth-clarifying calendar from me. Later, when his wife was critically ill, I visited her. He asked me for Master’s lectures and music for his wife to listen to. She lived for two more years, and he lived to be 100 years old.

During her heart bypass surgery, my sister kept reciting the auspicious phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” As a result, the doctor said that during the procedure the blockage was not as serious as shown in the exam. They didn’t even need to take a vein from her leg, and only removed the clot. She has since recovered very well!

Clarifying the Truth to Save People

During the pandemic, a coworker called me and said that after the lockdown was lifted, she tested positive for COVID. After taking medicine for three days, she didn’t improve, and her high fever persisted. She was in excruciating pain, unable to move, and her throat hurt so much that she couldn’t speak.

She then remembered what I had told her, “Sincerely recite the auspicious phrases and misfortune will turn to blessings.” She told me she began reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She didn’t know how many times she repeated the words or when she fell asleep, but when she woke up the next morning at around 8 a.m., she was drenched in sweat. Her clothes and pillow were soaked, but she felt much lighter.

She got up, drank some milk, washed up, and felt much better. She called to tell me about it. I joyfully said, “You have great enlightenment quality! The divine protected you!” I thanked Master in my heart.

One time I passed by a public square where people were dancing. A middle-aged woman was standing nearby watching. I asked her why she wasn’t dancing. She said that after getting the vaccine, her shoulder hurt, she couldn’t lift her arm, and her legs didn’t move well.

I told her about Dafa, and said, “The Communist Party manifesto mentions it’s a ghost from the West. According to the dictionary, a ghost is a spirit or a demon. If someone vows to fight for it their whole life, how can their health be good?” She agreed to quit the Youth League and the Young Pioneers (two of the CCP’s youth organizations).

I taught her to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” As she recited, she moved her arms and legs and kept thanking me. Her arm was able to lift again! I told her, “Falun Dafa is Buddha Law, it saves people. Buddhas save those who are kind!” She agreed, stating that people should indeed be kind.

I had a dream that night, where in the soft light of dusk I was in a large open square, sharing stories about how sincerely reciting the auspicious phrases leads to better health. Across from me stood a hunched-over woman with a distorted face. After listening to me, she repeated loudly, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”

After reciting the auspicious phrases a few times, two streams of blood suddenly shot out from her back and head. Then two red, snake-like spirit entities sprang out and were instantly dissolved by the golden light from a Falun (Law wheel) in the sky.

The woman immediately stood up straight, and her face returned to normal. She looked young and beautiful! The surrounding people witnessed it all and shouted to me that they also wanted to quit the CCP organizations.

After waking up, I realized that Master had shown me the transformation of that woman’s body in another dimension to confirm that sincerely reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” really can save people. Quitting the CCP truly eliminates evil spirits.

I thought about how I had been helping people quit the CCP every day, without any printed materials or other practitioners’ help, and I couldn’t see other dimensions with my celestial eye. I had once asked Master in my heart whether this way of clarifying the truth was okay. This dream was Master’s way of enlightening and encouraging me to do well in clarifying the truth and saving more people.

I wrote this sharing to encourage practitioners who may feel the same way. The environment may be tough, but speaking up is not hard. Even without the materials, we are truthful news reporters. Talking about everyday matters to help people quit the CCP and understand the truth is also an effective method.

There’s no fixed form for saving people. Once you start a conversation, you can quickly bring up topics people care about, like health and livelihood, and easily lead into encouraging them to quit the CCP. This way, they can be saved by Dafa. In truth, it’s Master who does everything. I merely move my mouth and legs.

My understanding is limited. If anything I’ve said is not aligned with the Fa, I humbly ask for compassionate correction.
