A Miracle in the Valley

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 2000. I was over 50 years old at the time. I had bronchitis and osteonecrosis, both of which are impossible to cure completely. In the wintertime I had to stay in bed with thick blankets because I could not stand any wind blowing at me, plus I found it difficult to breathe. If I wanted to go to the restroom, someone had to assist me or I had to use two crutches. Because I needed help with even the simplest things, not only was I living a terrible life, but it was also a great burden on my family. All the money we had was used to treat my illnesses.

When Falun Dafa was first spread, the exercise site in my village was very active, and everyone knew that Dafa was good and its principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance was good. In 1999, after the Chinese Communist regime began to persecute Falun Dafa, lies were everywhere. Especially after the staged self-immolation, many people were fooled. Thus, when Falun Gong practitioners tried to explain the Fa to me, at first I didn't accept it and told them that I was illiterate. The truth was that I was afraid of being persecuted by the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and was too scared to accept Dafa. But the practitioners were very compassionate and kept trying, and in the end I agreed to quietly recite “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

The effect was miraculous. My bronchitis was cured and I no longer had problems breathing. Then my legs got better, and I was able to walk without crutches or support. At that time I finally realized that only Falun Dafa could save me. I asked a practitioner to help me to obtain the book Zhuan Falun, and I started to practice.

A Fa study group was created in my village, and I participated. I felt that I was improving very quickly. Now, whether it's doing housework, field work, or going to the market, I am just like a normal person. It has been a miracle in my valley.

My husband and children were extremely happy and are very supportive of my practice. My daughter said, “Mom, Dafa is so wonderful. I hope you learn it well and I will support you.” When I encountered Chinese characters that I didn't know in Zhuan Falun , my husband and children would teach me one by one. When it was time to send forth righteous thoughts, my husband would remind me, “It's time!” After I were cured and I got a little lazy about doing the exercises, my husband would remind me, “Don't forget the past!” When I clarify the facts, my husband and children all help me and cooperate with me. My entire family quit the CCP. Now I can almost read Master's new lectures by myself. My husband is very happy that I became healthy, and has told everyone he knows how amazing Dafa is.

One person cultivates and the entire family benefits. In the past my husband's health was not so good either, and every year we used to spend five or six hundred dollars on medicine for him. After I started practicing Dafa, his illnesses were also cured and we no longer have any medical expenses. I often helped out doing work in my son's home and used that opportunity to tell them about Dafa. I told my daughter-in-law, “You have to thank Dafa and thank Master for the fact that I can help you. If I didn't practice Dafa, I wouldn't be like this today!” I often reminded my children to say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

It used to be that during the Chinese New Year, my relatives would come to my home to wish me happy new year. But now I can go to their homes and use this opportunity to clarify the facts and help them quit the CCP. I share my personal experience to validate Falun Dafa and use the persecution to expose the evil things done by the CCP. In the past few years, more than 100 of my relatives have quit the CCP.

After me, another person (A) also started practicing Dafa. She was a little over 40 years old but already had rheumatoid, and her wrists were swollen so badly that they were thicker than her neck. Her ankles were as thick as her head. She could not take care of herself and was bedridden. She could not even turn over by herself and was in constant pain. Her family spent a lot of money on treatments, but she was not getting better. We live very close to each other, and she saw that my severe illnesses were cured just by reciting “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and she became very hopeful. She was determined to practice Dafa cultivation and threw away all the strange things that they used to worship.

Other practitioners were very happy that A wanted to practice Dafa. Since she couldn't walk, the Fa study site was moved to her place. We asked her again and again to study the Fa more and eliminate the attachment of pursuit. She earnestly studied the Fa and followed the requirements strictly. Now, she is already able to walk by herself and go to other people's homes to study the Fa. She happily told all our neighbors, “Dafa has cured my illnesses and given me a new life.” Someone asked her, “Aren't you afraid that they (the CCP) will come and arrest you?” She said, “You guys all witnessed with your own eyes that Dafa saved me. Without Dafa, I wouldn't even be here. If someone comes to arrest me, would you let them?” She uses her personal experience to clarify the facts and has helped many people quit the CCP.

The people in the village have again and again seen the beauty and miracles of Falun Dafa. Now, half of our community understand the facts about the persecution and have quit the CCP.
