(Minghui.org) I am a new practitioner who obtained the Fa in February 2010. I am a police officer. Because I didn't understand the truth in the past, I was once directly involved in persecuting a practitioner as well as extorting money from practitioners. In recent years, I read the informational materials that practitioners handed out, and they helped me to understand the truth. I realized how wonderful Falun Dafa is, and I started to practice.
When I started to cultivate, I experienced huge changes to both my mind and body, which surprised my family. Many other miraculous things happened as well. The most outstanding was that my wife, who had suffered from mental illness for 13 years, recovered within just a few months. It was an absolute miracle.
My wife had suffered from intermittent depression since January 1997. It progressed to the point that she could no longer work. I had to have someone look after her for eight years. She stayed at home and had no interest in anything. She was indifferent and could not focus on anything. She never did housework, watched TV, or took care of our child. She often talked to herself and wasn't able to take care of herself. When her situation got worse, she left home for many days at a time before she returned. She was once gone for 30 days. During those 13 years, I took her to be treated at psychiatric hospitals four times, and we went to see several folk doctors, but nothing helped. A friend gave us some information and asked us to believe in Christianity. I also worshiped Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara and Buddhas at home, but none of it worked. I had to spend lots of money and effort, and it was a heavy mental burden. My wife was also miserable.
At the end of 2009, I realized that I had made a mistake when I persecuted Dafa disciples, so I started to make amends for my what I had done wrong. After that, things started to change for my wife. She learned how to manage our finances, did some light housework, and developed an interest in watching TV.
About two months after I started to practice Falun Dafa, she got the hiccups. She had suffered from a stomach problem for 20 years, and we thought she was having a flare up. The hiccups lasted for about a month. Later, we noticed that her bad breath, which was caused by her stomach problem, had disappeared. She could also eat both cold and hot foods. Her physical condition became better and better, and she could take care of the family. She started to like socializing and talking with people, and stopped talking to herself. Currently, she has almost completely recovered and doesn't look like she has any problems.
The neighbors saw the enormous changes in my wife and said to me, “Your wife can dress herself. How was she cured?” I said proudly, “I practice Falun Dafa. She benefited as well and recovered.” My relatives, friends, and coworkers were surprised by what happened to my wife. One of my relatives said, “Now I believe what those practitioners say about the wonderfulness of Falun Dafa. A mentally ill person has been healed by Falun Dafa.”
About 15 days before I submitted this article, my wife said to me, “My rhinitis is gone. I can smell everything.” When we got married, she already had rhinitis and her sense of taste was very poor.
Master said in Zhuan Falun,
“When those who truly practice cultivation on their own read this Dafa, I will clean out their bodies as well. In addition, your home environment must also be cleaned. As soon as possible, you should throw away the spirit tablet for the fox or the weasel that you previously enshrined. They have all been disposed of and no longer exist. Because you want to practice cultivation, we can open for you the most convenient door, and these things can therefore be done for you. Yet they are only done for true practitioners.” (Lecture Three)
“We teach salvation of both ourselves and others, as well as of all beings. Thus, Falun can save oneself by turning inward and save others by turning outward. While turning outward, it gives off energy and can benefit others. This way, within your energy-covering field others will benefit, and they may feel very comfortable. Whether you are on the street walking, in the workplace, or at home, you can have this effect on others. People within your field may unintentionally have their illnesses healed since this field can rectify all abnormal conditions. A human body should not become ill, and being ill is an abnormal state. It can rectify this abnormal state.” (Lecture Three)
I can deeply feel Master's great compassion and Dafa's beauty and miraculousness. Dafa gave both me and my wife a new life. The extraordinary wonderfulness of Dafa has manifested itself in my life.
