(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Gong in the Spring of 1997. Prior to that, I was full of illnesses, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and enlargement of the pituitary gland. I felt pain in the entire lymph system of my body. The lymph node on my neck was as big as an egg. After practicing Falun Gong, all these conditions were gone. Falun Gong has given me a second life, and guided me to the path of returning to my true self. Today I would like to share with you a few stories of my experiences in validating Dafa and saving sentient beings.

My youngest aunt used to suffer from protrusion of the lumbar discs. She was paralyzed and had to stay in bed all day. Although she had been hospitalized for a long time, her condition did not improve at all. I introduced her to Falun Gong. After practicing, she was able to stand up, and gradually became a healthy person. Her entire family was so grateful to Master Li that they wanted to tell the world that Falun Gong saved her, and that Falun Gong is wonderful.

My neighbor, Mrs. Yang, used to suffer from heart disease. She was hospitalized for a long time, but did not see any improvements. She had to take medicine frequently to ease her pectoral angina. I said to her: "You should try practicing Falun Gong." She said, "I've been a Christian for so many years, can I practice Falun Gong? Will Master Li take care of me?" I said, "Sure!" At the time, she was getting ready to take her pain medicine, but she suddenly stood up straight and said, "Wow! The pain is gone. Master Li really has taken care of me. It is incredible!" She immediately borrowed Zhuan Falun, and started practicing Falun Gong. Now she is in her 70s, and continues to be very healthy.

My neighbor Mrs. Li is in her 60s. She used to suffer from heart disease and tracheitis. Her kidneys were functioning poorly, and as a result her face was swollen. I talked to her about Falun Gong and said, "How about practicing Falun Gong with me?" She said, "My family has been practicing Buddhism for generations. Is Falun Gong in the Buddha school?" I said yes. So she started practicing with me, and her health returned. In addition, she stopped cursing her husband for having an affair, and told me, "I will listen to Master Li, where he says, 'As a practitioner one should not fight back when being punched or insulted.'" She has since been steadfast in practicing cultivation.

My parents both started practicing Falun Gong in 1997, when my father was 67 years old. Prior to that, my father suffered from heart disease, high blood pressure, a stroke, and shoulder pain. In addition, he had to be hospitalized twice a year for pectoral angina. After practicing Falun Gong, his illnesses were all gone. At 78 years old, his white hair turned black again. In addition, he farmed 6 acres of land on the river bank. The neighbors all said, "How can we believe you're getting close to 80 years old! You seem so young!" He said, "It is because I practice Falun Gong." One day he was explaining the persecution of Falun Gong to a police officer on a train. The police officer said, "I am fully convinced about the goodness of Falun Gong just by looking at you. Be careful about your safety."

In August 1999, I went on an out-of-town business trip. While waiting to start work, I took out my book to study the Fa. Alarmed, a worker named Zhang said to me, "Miss, how dare you read this, didn't you watch TV?!" [meaning, didn't I know about the persecution?] Many people looked on, and someone said they wanted to report me. I said I was not afraid, because I had survived a near-death experience. I even have the funeral cloth my family had prepared for me. I spent over an hour explaining the facts to them about the wonderfulness of Falun Gong, and I exposed the vicious lies on TV. Zhang listened intently, and asked to borrow my copy of Zhuan Falun. The next time I met him, he said, "As soon as I finished reading Zhuan Falun, I felt my whole heart lighten up. My wife warned me about safety, but I told her I would insist on practicing. I have made up my mind not to listen to her on this matter!"

One day, I gave up my seat to an older woman on the bus. She thanked me, and I said, "You look the same age as my mother. Are you in your 70s?" She answered, "Yes, I'm 75. I'm going to the drug store to buy something to treat the bursitis in my shoulder. It is very stubborn." I told her my mother practices Falun Gong, and she is very healthy. I also mentioned that the programs on the state-run TV about Falun Gong were all vicious lies. I told her to sincerely recite, "Falun Dafa is good," so she would receive blessings. I also told her that doing so would be good for her health. She held my hand and said, "I'm finally saved. My diseases will be gone. Thank you!" I said, "You're welcome. But you should thank Master Li!"

Persuading people to make the "three withdrawals" [quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations] face to face is very effective. The three buildings around my home were being demolished, and the residents were busy moving out. It was snowing that day. I talked to as many people moving out of the buildings as possible. I pointed out that there are so many natural disasters now because the CCP is so corrupt, and the heavens were going to destroy the CCP. I said they should do the three withdrawals as soon as possible to have the mark of the CCP removed from them; otherwise they might be eliminated along with the CCP. I told them they could use an alias, and it would work as long as they were willing to do it. More than forty people agreed to quit on that day. And many people wanted the Dafa information I gave away.
