(Clearwisdom.net) I am a female Falun Gong practitioner in Hebei. I am over 60 years old. I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997.

Before I practiced Falun Gong, I had high blood pressure, heart disease, pleural inflammation, and diabetes. I was almost blind due to the effects of diabetes and my other health problems. I was too weak to lift my arms over my head. I visited several hospitals, but saw no sign of getting better. Later, I even tried setting up a shrine to invite spirits to cure me. But that didn't have any effect either.

One day, a neighbor visited and introduced Falun Gong to me. I went with her to a practice site in our city that same day. When a coordinator showed me the second set of exercises, I couldn’t lift my arms high enough. The coordinator said: “If you can’t continue, you can take a rest.” I said I was OK and continued with the exercises. I started studying the Fa every day. When a practitioner read:

“As soon as possible, you should throw away the spirit tablet for the fox or the weasel that you previously enshrined.” (Zhuan Falun)

I knew that this was not an ordinary Qigong. When I got home, I burned the shrine. I believed in Master and Dafa, and knew that Master would purify my body.

After that, I bought a copy of Zhuan Falun. I did the exercises at the practice site every day. My body became visibly healthier. I felt light when walking. I also felt more energetic. I wanted to do everything. Previously, I didn’t have enough energy to prepare meals. My second son was very happy when he saw that I was now able to cook. He said with happiness that I had really recovered. My whole family was astonished at my improved health. My husband noticed the positive changes in me, and so he also began cultivating.

I had not had a menstrual period for at least six years. Within a month of practicing Falun Gong, I started menstruating. I expelled what looked like black chunks of clotted blood and something white that looked like pus. My “big tummy” disappeared. My weight dropped from 80 kg (175 lbs) to a more normal weight of 50 kg (110 lbs). It was a miracle. Was that a true menstrual period? I knew I had experienced real body purification as Master said would happen in Zhuan Falun. I cried, and I thanked Master. I opened Master’s book and kowtowed in front of Master’s photo three times. Since then, I was determined to continue cultivation till the end.

My Granddaughter Recovers from Kidney Disease

My granddaughter, my oldest son’s daughter, suddenly complained of a stomachache in August 2001. She was covered in little red spots, which later became bigger and bigger. After the doctor examined her, he said that she had kidney problems. A renal expert said that she needed a transplant. Her family could not afford the surgery. Instead, they obtained Chinese medicine for her. After she drank more than 80 doses of the Chinese medicine there was no sign of improvement. Eventually, her body swelled up. She was only eight at the time. The illness was so hard on her that she looked like a little old lady. I felt sad about her suffering.

I suggested that she practice Falun Gong with me, but she said she didn’t want to. Within a few days, she felt that her illness was unbearable and said that she would practice Falun Gong with me.

When I showed her how to cross her legs on top of each other in the lotus position for meditation, she could do it right away. Soon after, she needed to urinate. In the past, urinating would have been difficult for her. However, she told me she had no problem this time.

From then on, she practiced the exercises and studied the Fa with me every day. She became healthier day-by-day. Now, she is in middle school and is 1.6 meters tall (5' 2”). Her school work is excellent, and she is among the top three students in her class. When her mother took her to the hospital for a check-up one doctor asked which hospital had cured her so quickly. Only about one out of ten patients recovers from kidney disease with treatment.

I know that it was Master who saved her and gave her a second life.
