Taiwan: A Physician's Cultivation Story (Photos)

May 20, 2011 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) Hsiao-Mei parked the car, quickly locked it, and ran from the parking lot to her office located on the twelfth floor of an office building . The office building is three tenths of a mile from the parking lot. She put her palm on her chest, took a deep breath and sat down. She realized, “My problem is gone!” She was surprised at first, then she had a feeling like each cell in her body was singing happily, “I am so relaxed.”

A pediatrician in her early thirties working at a famous private hospital in Northern Taiwan, she had symptoms of urinary incontinence as the after-effect of childbirth. The symptoms manifested when she coughed, sneezed, or ran. It has bothered her for a long time and caused her embarrassment and uneasiness. Even though she and her husband are both physicians, they could not find any solutions. She could not have imagined this disease would disappear soon after she began practicing Falun Gong.

Acne and urinary incontinence disappear after practicing Falun Gong

Hsiao-Mei said, “Within a half year from when I started practicing Falun Gong, I was very happy because I found the meaning of life. I did not expect my health would improve so miraculously. Nevertheless, my urinary incontinence is gone. I had acne all over my face since I was a middle school student. I spent so much money on treatment and beauty products to no avail.”

Born in a happy family in Douliu City, Yunlin County, in the middle of Taiwan in 1972, she was a good student. She was always a winner in speech, reading and talent competitions. In school, she won national awards for excellence. She finally was able to enroll in the highly regarded Department of Medicine, Taipei Medical University.

Success earlier in life, but not happiness

When she was in medical school, she met her husband. After graduation, they got married and became doctors at a famous private hospital. A few years after they got married, they had a boy and a girl. However, she still felt unfulfilled in life. Since she was a little girl, she was always looking for something and could not find the answer. She tried to solve the puzzle with science but still could not find the answer, while the puzzle only became harder to solve.

“Why does a person come to live in this world? Why does he leave the world after he dies? What is the reason a person comes to this world ? What is the meaning of life? If there is a true goal in life, what is it and where is it? Why do some have a good life but others do not? Some people do good and some do wrong, but what is the true final result?” When she was a little girl, she was always thinking of these questions and was always looking for answers. The thing she was doing most often when she was in medical school was going to book stores to read books about spirits but she was always disappointed after she searched and found no answers.

She said, “Even if your life is smooth and you get many awards and certificates, you still will not feel happy. Because that kind of happiness is short lived. Afterwards, you will feel empty and lost. My sister often gave me some books about exploring spirits. I thought my sister was the same as me, we were both looking for the answers in our life.”

Her sister brings a great book

In the spring of 2005, Hsiao-Mei's sister brought her a copy of Zhuan Falun and left without saying anything. Hsiao-Mei thought it was just like the ordinary books and carelessly put it aside. Half a year passed. One day, under the pressure of work and family, she felt very boxed into a corner by life, but for some reason, she decided to read the book Zhuan Falun.

She finds the answers to her questions about life

“When I read it, I could not stop. I was reading the book and I was touched constantly. The more I read it, the more I did not want to put it down. I finished almost all the book in the morning. My mindset was surprising and happy as I read.” She said happily, “I was always thinking of finding an answer with science but I could not find it. But this book explained what I wanted to know so clearly. “The meaning of the life, the true goal of life, I found it. This is what I wanted and pursued painstakingly. I feel so regretful. Why did I put it aside for half a year until I read it. I wasted half a year.”

Wang Hsiao-Mei exercising

In the beginning of practicing Falun Gong, she could not go to Fa study because of her busy work and family schedule. She had the habit of reading the Minghui website each day. She said, “The articles from Minghui help me a lot. Each day, I read the experiences from all over the world especially from fellow practitioners in mainland China. Either from enlightenment on the Fa, or the cultivation process in everyday life, the sharing surprises me, and makes me happy and ashamed. This also encourages me to be diligent in cultivation and grasp the chance to step out to study the Fa and share experiences with fellow practitioners.”

After she started practicing, with more study and enlightenment on the inner meaning of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” she became more thoughtful and tried to look inward and find her own shortcomings. She gradually understood her husband's hardship and understood her attachments of seeking fame and profit. So she gave up her current job at the hospital and worked on medical affair administration work at a private organization. She moved her family to the downtown in Taipei. Their housing is not as spacious as that in Taoyuan, but it is lovely and cozy. Her husband also tries to do housework and helps to take care of the kids. The relationship became better and the whole family now lives a happy life.

She felt that once she treated things with the principle of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” and if she truly though of others, she could obtain more. She also enlightened to the inner meaning of obtaining naturally without pursuing.
