My Experiences After I Resumed Practicing Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) I’d like to describe some amazing changes and things I experienced after I resumed practicing Falun Dafa in 2023.

My Pain Disappears

I was in my twenties in the fall of 1998, and working in another city. I was fortunate to read Zhuan Falun. It felt like this book was what I had always been looking for. A coworker who practiced Dafa gave me a set of Dafa books, and I also learned the exercises.

I returned to my hometown in 1999. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Dafa that year, and because I lost my cultivation environment I gradually stopped practicing.

Hypertension runs in my family. Even though I took traditional Chinese medicine in 2013, I kept having relapses and I was in great discomfort. A hospital checkup in 2017 revealed that my systolic blood pressure was 180 and my diastolic blood pressure was 120. I had to take antihypertensive medication every day.

Even though I took medication I still experienced dizziness, heart palpitations, weakness, and all the symptoms of high blood pressure in the fall of 2023. I thought of my grandmother and aunt, both of whom had strokes and hemiplegia at my age. My aunt spent the last 10 years of her life surviving on liquid food. She was unable to speak, and was a burden on her children. I was terrified that I’d end up like her. My father, who was in his eighties, was hospitalized and needed my care. What could I do?

I remembered when I had recurring tonsillitis in the Spring of 2022, I took several medications but they didn’t help. I discovered a white, pea-sized plug of pus in my throat. The doctor told me to observe it for a week and then have surgery to remove it. I began to read the auspicious phrases⸺“Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” A week later, before I went to the hospital, I used a mirror to see if the pus plug had changed. It was gone! This convinced me to resume practicing Dafa.

I still had Dafa in my heart all these years. I began to read Zhuan Falun in late November 2023. I studied the Fa, did the exercises, and followed Dafa’s guiding principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

My father-in-law became ill and was hospitalized in December 2023. His physical discomfort caused him to become emotionally unstable. Instead of letting my husband take on all the work as I usually did, and just going through the motions of visiting him at the hospital, I turned down unnecessary social engagements. Every day I cooked delicious food that my father-in-law liked and brought it to him. I chatted with him and comforted him, which improved his mood a lot, and his health gradually began to improve.

As to my husband, I started holding myself to Dafa’s standards and tried to correct my previous bad attitude. A few days later, my dizziness subsided, and the symptoms of high blood pressure disappeared.

While I was walking one night my body felt light, and I felt illness-free. My shoulder periarthritis, which I’ve had for over 10 years, disappeared. The big lump on my left shoulder was also gone. I had to have blood drawn once or twice a year to make the lump go down, otherwise the nerve compression caused unbearable pain.

This happened about 10 days after I finished reading Lecture Six in Zhuan Falun. I thought about the recent transformations I’d been through. When I sent forth righteous thoughts that morning, I could feel electricity. Didn’t I already have energy? How could I still have illnesses when I had energy? I can’t hold onto humanness while cultivating towards divinity—I had to be a true cultivator. I stopped taking the blood pressure pills that I’d taken for more than six years.

Four months after I began cultivating, I resumed having my periods even though I had started menopause two years before. My period lasted for seven days, and I had just a little bit every day. I also noticed that the age spots I had for several years were fading, so I took a picture of it. I used those positive changes to tell people Falun Dafa is good.

After I’ve solidly cultivated for a bit over a year, the skin on my face is now firmer. I felt like I was changing and I looked younger—from my hair to my feet.

My Understanding About Illness Karma and Sending Righteous Thoughts

I watched a TV series one day in May 2025, thinking it wouldn’t hurt to watch it, but afterwards I continued to scroll through my phone and watch related videos. I wasted so much time I barely managed to read one lecture and do all five exercises. I spent little time sending forth righteous thoughts as I was in a hurry to check my phone. I then started experiencing illness symptoms and had a fever. I realized this was caused by my attachment to watching the TV series. I studied the Fa with other practitioners and corrected myself. However, I still felt some discomfort. So I began looking inward again to see what other attachments I had.

Master Li said:

“I’d like to give you my take on what people normally refer to as “addiction.” In the medical sciences it’s believed that addiction occurs when the part of the nervous system associated with addictive behaviors is stimulated and develops to a sufficient degree. But that’s not it. What’s happening, then? Over time, that addictive substance accumulates, and forms inside of your body an identical version of you that comes to control you. Because it is composed of strong attachment, and has your appearance, it has an equally strong desire to control you; it was formed out of strong desires, after all.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2019 New York Fa Conference,” team yellow translation, Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. XV)

After reading this passage of the Fa I felt that Master’s Law Body (Fashen) was giving me a hint—there was a substance inside my body that was formed by my addictions to watching TV dramas and videos on my mobile phone. This life was created by my lust, attachment to romantic love, and all kinds of emotions that ordinary people have. My attachments nourished them, leading to my current state of discomfort and slacking off in my cultivation.

When I checked the time, it was almost 5 p.m., I immediately sat in the lotus position and sent righteous thoughts to eliminate anything that caused me this discomfort. When it was time to send righteous thoughts globally at 6 p.m., I also added one thought to eliminate those negative factors. The pain went away and so did my fever.

This incident made me realize the power of looking inward and sending righteous thoughts. After I read Master’s new articles on sending righteous thoughts, and some sharing articles from the Minghui website about how powerful they are, I firmed up my belief in practitioners’ supernatural capabilities. I also realized that when we clarify the facts to people about the persecution, we need to remember why we do this—to help Master save people. We should use our supernatural capabilities to eliminate the interference that is blocking people from learning the truth, so that they can be saved.

After I went through a few illness karma tribulations, through continuous Fa-study, I realized I should negate the old forces’ arrangements. When there’s a conflict I should look inward instead of just enduring it. As long as I improve my xinxing I should be able to pass these tribulations.

Improving Quickly

About five months after I resumed cultivating, when I read Lecture Four in Zhuan Falun: “The Placement of the Mysterious Pass,” I saw a bright, heart-shaped object in front of me. I thought it was just an afterimage from the lamp and it would soon disappear, but it remained. I remembered what Master said about when one uses one’s celestial eye to see things, no matter when one opens or closes the eyes, one sees the same thing. So I closed my eyes. That bright heart shape looked the same as when my eyes were open. I later understood that it was probably my celestial eye channel.

I read what Master said:

“When the Placement of the Mysterious Pass occurs for the first time, one will feel something in front of the eyes. Though it is in another dimension, one will still feel that something blurry is before the eyes, as if covering them, making one feel very uncomfortable.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

I truly felt it was something blurry before my eyes, as if covering them.

I didn’t dare to think that what I felt was “The Placement of the Mysterious Pass.” When I thought about it later, I remembered that I also had a throbbing headache and a tight, uncomfortable feeling in my neck during those two days. I thought I was eliminating karma. Through continuous Fa-study I realized that when I began practicing I was already at high-level In-Triple-World-Fa. Practicing Dafa helps me improve rapidly—so fast that I can’t react. After I had this experience I was certain that I was going through “The Placement of the Mysterious Pass.”

Through Fa-study, I truly came to feel that this Fa is so vast that words can’t describe it. When I look up at the sky, I can’t fathom how vast the universe truly is. I can only understand a little bit of what Dafa manifests to me at my own level. I feel so fortunate that I can cultivate in this universal Dafa which transcends every other Fa. Words can’t express my gratitude for benevolent and wonderful Master!
