(Minghui.org) I am a practitioner who has only recently started practicing Falun Dafa. Because I experienced the wonders of Falun Gong, I wish to write about my experiences and tell the rest of the world about Falun Gong.

In the beginning of 2010, I had a hysterectomy. After the surgery, I cannot describe the pain I went through. Because of the surgery taking so long, my teeth were chattering and my face was pale. I scrunched up in a ball.

Before long, my body had regained its heat. Next came the urinating problems and that was a living hell.

On February 29, 2011, I went to the hospital once again and had my right lung removed. Because of the two surgeries being so close together, my brain was shocked and I didn't recognize my relatives when I awoke. It took days before I regained consciousness. I coughed repeatedly and I had problems breathing. After going home, the entire village said, “It's okay to have no eggs, but can you live with just one lung?” I lost hope to be able to continue living, and I was in pain every second.

I had thoughts of committing suicide, but after thinking about my family and children, I didn't do it. At this time, my mother who was a practitioner, sent me a copy of Zhuan Falun . I felt like I had found the secret to life. I felt that I had finally found a reason to live.

Master said, “...Being human isn’t the meaning of life—it’s to have you return to your original, true self, to go back. ” (Zhuan Falun) Thus I began to cultivate. It hurt when I did the exercises, but I persevered through it. Due to Master's mercy, I felt that I had then become reborn.

“In order to explore this domain, people must fundamentally change their conventional human notions.” (Zhuan Falun) Because of my surgeries, many people said, “You can't do this and you can't do that,” but I was determined to do all of those things. In spring, I helped pull weeds in garden. In the fall, I helped carry bags of harvest and did the laundry. My house was clean inside and out and I didn't feel fatigued. If people didn't know, they would've thought that I was a normal, healthy person. My mother-in-law's family saw the miracle that happened to me, so they also started cultivating. We cultivate together, and,

“Study the Fa and gain the Fa, Focus on how you study and cultivate, Let each and every thing be measured against the Fa. Only then, with that, is it actually cultivation.” (“Solid Cultivation” from Hong Yin)

My second aunt had something possessing her, and after cultivating, the possession disappeared. Every summer, it was a tradition to do the Yangko folk dance. The elders didn't want me to do it, for they were afraid that I'd get exhausted. I went anyway, and it was clear that the dance wasn't the main thing. Saving people was the real objective. They said, “How is this possible?” I took the time to clarify the truth to them, and told them to quit the CCP (Chinese Communist Party).

The deep meanings contained in Zhuan Falun helped me to become a better cultivator. I understood that all the hardships are a result of the bad deeds that I have previously committed. How can my hardships compare to the suffering that other practitioners are subject to in prisons and labor camps? I have to cultivate better to fulfill Master's wish and not bring about any disappointment.

I am very fortunate because I have learned Falun Dafa. It could be that I endured the hardships in the earlier part of my life just for obtaining the Fa.
