A Physician Joins the Effort to Stop the Chinese Communist Regime's Forced Organ Harvesting
Cheng Yuan-Yu is a physician who began to practice just 11 months ago. After he became a practitioner, his health improved tremendously, his sister’s incurable illnesses were cured, and his parents' health improved. Mr. Cheng told everyone he met about Falun Dafa. He's very busy at work and has a 3-year-old son and a newborn daughter. However, he's determined to be more diligent, overcome difficulties, and catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification.
Mr. Cheng joined a group that works to stop the forced organ harvesting and has been collecting signatures from people in the medical profession. After he read the books about organ harvesting from living Falun Dafa practitioners, he suddenly understood how he'd been deceived by the Chinese regime throughout the past years. “My wife (also a physician) supported my desire to inform others of the Chinese Communist regime's crimes against Falun Gong. I have talked about this to the hospitals and medical schools, visited the president of the Taiwan Medical Association, and been interviewed by radio stations.”
Teaching Students the Principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance
Ms. Yahui became a practitioner four years ago. Her job as a teacher takes a great deal of energy. After she started to practice Falun Dafa, she had endless energy and worked very efficiently. She taught her students about the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and to look within when facing conflicts. “When they did what I said, the atmosphere in the class became quiet and peaceful,” she said.
A handicapped student in Ms. Yahui’s class no longer required medications after he began following Falun Dafa’s teachings. One student who constantly stole from others stopped. Ms. Yahui's class is now often recognized as the best class.
A Young Practitioner Resumes Cultivation
Fifteen-year-old Yiling began to practice Falun Dafa when she was little. However, she really didn't study the teachings and gradually became a problematic child. She was rebellious, deceitful, and often cursed at others. After she joined a three-day camp for young Falun Dafa practitioners, she began to look within on everything she did and evaluated her conduct with the principles of Falun Dafa. She began to study the teachings every day. “I saw the distance between myself and other young practitioners. I had never bothered clarifying the truth and was ashamed of myself.”
Yiling started going to a tourist site near her home to explain the facts about the persecution to visitors from China. “I was scared at first and afraid that I’d lose face. Again and again I tried to eliminate my attachments in different situations I came across. Through this opportunity, I learned not to be frustrated but to be compassionate.”
Telling Everyone about the Persecution
Yuan Lun-Shiang is a physician in the urology department of the Veterans’ General Hospital. When he first read Falun Dafa's main book Zhuan Falun, the many questions he'd always wondered about were answered. He felt as though he'd been looking for this book all his life. “Every morning after my shift at the hospital ends, I read the book,” he said.
Mr. Yuan joined the group that is working to stop live organ harvesting and started to clarify the facts of the persecution. He collected signatures from just about everyone he met in the hospital--the paramedics, patients, pharmaceutical salespersons, and vending machine workers. When he is invited talk about it, he shows a video on organ harvesting at the end. “Most people are shocked and angered by what the Chinese regime has been concealing. I've seen people’s attitudes change. Some of them have even asked me how to practice Falun Dafa,” he said.
Encouraging Young Practitioners
Ms. Peijun was once very ill. After a car accident, she had her will drawn up. She says that Falun Dafa gave her a second life. In the past years, she has studied the teachings every day with three of her children and two of her sister’s. She convinced her husband (a non-practitioner) to support Falun Dafa, to let her take the children to Minghui School every weekend, to let them join the Divine Land Marching Band, and to go out and clarify the truth.
“It’s a lot harder to make sure the children do well in the practice,” said Ms. Peijun. She often had to reason with them. She feels that parents play an important role in the children’s practice. “Now the five of them have their own roles in validating the Fa and clarifying the truth. They are able to participate on their own.”
Witnessing Cultivators' Compassion
Wu Mei-Yi is a Chinese doctor. She recently traveled to Hong Kong to help clarify the truth to the Chinese tourists. She learned a lot from the practitioners in Lantau Island. The practitioner in charge of the truth clarification site has to get the newspapers for the day at 4 a.m. every morning. She goes to the site to clarify the truth Monday to Friday, rain or shine, with no other practitioners available to back her up.
“I was able to see the selfless acts of the practitioners and their compassion. I saw the distance between them and me,” said Mei-Yi.
A practitioner who went to Hong Kong with her husband and child ten years ago went to the site every day. She knew how important what she was doing was. Her family members died in China because of the persecution.
One practitioner is a refugee from Vietnam. After she began to practice Falun Dafa, she was able to read and understand Chinese. She often reads Zhuan Falun with the Chinese-speaking practitioners. Every day she's able to help more than 100 Chinese people quit the CCP and its affiliates. She always had a smile on her face, no matter what the Chinese tourists said to her.
Thanking Master for His Grace
When Huang Hsiu-Fen saw Teacher’s lecture videos two years ago, she could not stop crying. She knew that she had been waiting for this for a long time. That night, she had a dream. She was in a beautiful garden with Teacher and a practitioner who taught her the exercises. Teacher said to her, “I hope that you will do well in the practice from now on.”
Hsiu-Fen said that after she became a practitioner, her mother’s terrible health began to improve, and her relatives were astonished. She believes that her belief in Falun Dafa benefited her mother. Hsiu-Fen no longer has sleeping problems. She said, “All my friends were amazed to see the transformation. They think positively of Falun Dafa!”
