(Minghui.org) I am a sixty-eight-year-old woman who lives in the countryside. After I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, my illnesses disappeared and I did not have to take medicine anymore. My family members are supportive of my practicing. They understand the truth, and have received protection from Teacher Li in times of crisis and experienced the power of Dafa. No human language can express our gratitude to Teacher Li.
March 3, 1996 is a special date for me. It was the beginning of my new life! A friend introduced me to Falun Dafa on that day and I started practicing right away. Shortly after, my neurasthenia, heart disease, cystitis, arthritis and menopause symptoms all disappeared! Over the last fifteen years my body has become stronger.
Before I practiced, my illnesses were disabling and I had some difficulty caring for myself. My spouse, our two sons, and two daughters-in-law are all office workers. They spent a lot of time searching for doctors to help me and buy medicine. I felt that this was a burden for them. By practicing Falun Dafa and regaining my health, I was able to be of help to my family. After seeing the extraordinary changes in me, they all became supportive of my practicing, and at the same time, they experienced the power of Dafa.
On December 1, 1996, my eldest son rode his motorcycle to attend the funeral of his father-in-law. It was a cold and gloomy day with thick fog, and the road was narrow and slippery with deep ditches on both sides. My son was riding south along the right side of the road, and at some point a truck came rushing towards him. He was surprised and frightened by the oncoming vehicle and ended up in the ditch as he swerved to avoid him. The motorcycle didn’t fall to the bottom of the ditch, but instead came to rest slowly at the side. My son was able to get off his motorcycle uninjured. What a narrow escape! After he came to his senses he recalled, “Oh, my mother told me that if one person practices Dafa, the whole family benefits. It was Teacher Li who protected me.”
One evening in the spring of 2002, at around 10:00 p.m., my second son was on his motorcycle driving a friend home. As he entered the city, he collided with a tractor and the motorcycle fell on its side. His friend was thrown from the bike and my son landed on the tractor's steering wheel and couldn’t move. The tractor driver fled the scene. My son’s friend slowly got up from the ground, yelling my son’s name while searching for him. My son said, “Don’t yell, I’m right here, quick, come and drag me out.” After my son was free from the tractor, he stretched his arms and legs and found that he was not injured at all, with only scratches on his left hand. The windshield and reflector of the motorcycle were damaged but easily repairable, and the motorcycle was ready for the road once again. His friend said, “Gosh, you are really blessed. I felt I was protected by being with you!" My son told him, "My mother practices Falun Dafa and it was her Teacher, Li Hongzhi who protected us. Let’s thank Teacher Li!”
My grandson is six years old now, and he has benefited from Falun Dafa, too. One night in May 2008, he had a stomachache and fell asleep early after taking medicine. In the middle of the night he awoke crying and bent over with pain. He cried louder and louder. The nearest hospital was more than sixteen miles away from my place and was difficult to get to at that time of night. The child was just a year old at that time and I wondered if he could survive. The child cried so hard that he was almost exhausted. My whole family was very concerned. I thought of Teacher Li and asked the family to repeat "Falun Dafa is good" all together. After a while, the child calmed down, his breathing slowed to normal and his body stopped twitching. He soon closed his eyes and fell asleep and we were finally able to express a sigh of relief. Once again, we had received protection from Teacher Li. My cousin's child had the same symptoms as my grandson, but he died within days. It was very sad. My grandson, on the other hand, survived and is now a healthy and happy six-year-old. He can recite Hong Yin and sing the songs from Celestial Melody. Dafa has unlocked his wisdom.
Now, let me say something about my spouse. This year he is also sixty-eight years old. On a spring day in 2002, he was standing on a stool which was stacked on top of a chair so he could paint the top of the gate. At some point he missed his footing and fell off the stool. When he got up from the ground and dusted off the dirt, he found he was all right. Another time, he banged his head while standing on a stool lifting an air conditioner cover. When he touched the wound with his hand he discovered it was just a scratch. My spouse now also practices Falun Dafa.
In August of this year, my second son’s car window was found to have thirteen udumbara flowers growing on it [According to legend, this flower blossoms once every 3,000 years]. Fortune like this and repeated benefits to my family have been seen by relatives, friends, and neighbors. Others began to understand that Falun Dafa is fundamentally good. They realized that this is why practitioners are so steadfast, even at the risk of being persecuted. They were able to learn the truth and quit the Chinese Communist Party.
Everyone, I want to sincerely tell you that Falun Dafa is righteous. It stresses Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. The Chinese Communist Party, on the other hand, stresses Deceit, Wickedness, and Violence and advocates atheism. This leads to the erosion of society and moral decline, and creates ceaseless natural and man-made disasters. Please open your eyes as soon as possible and clearly see the distinction between right and wrong. Don’t listen to the lies anymore, know the truth, quit the Party, and choose a better future!
