At the end of 1995, a friend of mine introduced me to Falun Gong. As soon as I began reading the book Falun Gong, I could not put it down. I have never read such a good book, and I thought that this was the most important book I had read, and what I had been looking for my entire life. I read it in one sitting, and went to buy it from the bookstore. At the time, it was very difficult to obtain this book.

I did not know what it meant to be a really good person until I read the principles explained in the book on how to be a good person. Previously, I felt that I was a good person, and many people also said that I was good, but when measured by the standard of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance", I was actually very far away from being truly good. I was a businessman, and it was not easy for me to behave according to what was taught in the book, so I thought I would wait and learn Falun Gong after I stop doing business in the future. Because I had just begun cultivation, I didn't study the Fa very diligently. I read the book, and practiced the exercises when I had time. Even though I was not so diligent, many of my illnesses were healed within half a month, such as shortage of blood circulation to my heart, heart disease, stress-related illnesses, etc. I felt light and full of energy. In the past, these illnesses made me suffer greatly. I had life-saver pills with me at all times, and there were quite a few occasions when my illnesses were so severe that I almost lost my life. I visited many hospitals, spent a lot of money, and my illnesses could not be cured. However, I recovered very quickly soon after I learned Dafa; it was such a miracle. In the beginning, I really dared not believe that such a miracle could happen to me.

I have now experienced the feeling of having no sickness. I became determined to cultivate in Dafa all the way to the end. Since then, I truly became a genuine, steadfast cultivator, and disciplined myself according to the standards of being a good person, as taught in the book. In the past, I often lost my temper because of the illnesses, but now I understand the principle of being tolerant. When I have differing opinions with others, I no longer get upset easily. In the past, I didn't like to do housework, and argued with my wife; now I act according to the requirements in the book, and no longer complain about others. My family is more harmonious.

I conduct business in an electronic product mall. I discipline myself according to "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." I do not lie, nor do I take any dishonest money. When people come to buy things for their companies, I tell them about the relationship of gain and loss. Good advice is harsh to the ear, and although they do not always like to listen, I still tell them one by one.

One day, a person came to buy calendar watches for his company, and he wanted me to write an extra amount on the receipt, so that he could make a profit for himself from the difference between the amount of his actual payment and that shown on the receipt. As I refused him, he got angry and went to other shops. However, he soon returned because he could not find the product at other places. He asked me again. I told him, if he took so much money into his own pocket secretly, how much De [virtue] he would lose. I told him where he could buy the product in another mall. However, after a few hours, he returned again because he could not find the watches. He asked me if I could lower the price by two more Yuan per watch. I replied that as long as he would not profit at the company's expense, I would not mind making less money. The deal was done.

Many people in the mall learned Dafa. Now, none of our stalls sell to people who request us to write a higher amount on the receipt so that they can profit from the difference. We stopped their bad behavior by not cooperating with them. This is to benefit the public, and helps these people do fewer bad things that would make them lose De. In the past, I sometimes argued with other people in order to fight for businesses; after I started cultivation in Dafa, I got along with others very well. They all said that I had changed. All of this is due to the power of Dafa. It helps people to improve their moral standards, and benefits both mind and body tremendously.
