(Minghui.org) Before I began practicing Falun Dafa I suffered from advanced stages of kidney failure and uremia symptoms. My entire body was swollen as a result, from my eyes to my face, and all four limbs.

I was hospitalized for a while and finally the doctors told my son that there was no cure for my illnesses. With the kidney failure already in the final stages, the doctors suggested that I just go home and rest.

After I returned home, a practitioner introduced me to Falun Dafa and gave me a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. Because I had not competed schooling and was unable to read, my daughter read the book to me. After a while, I became impatient and complained, “I am dying soon. How can this book help me?”

My daughter stopped reading and said, “This book is very good. I will practice Falun Dafa even if you don't want to.” She then continued reading.

When we were almost finished with Lecture One, I felt some heavy blows to my head, as if someone was hitting me. As I was yelling out in pain, another sharp pain began shooting up my lower back, as if something was pricking me with long needles.

However, I quickly stopped complaining and felt suddenly energetic. My mother prepared a bowl of millet soup and I hastily finished it. She was shocked by my appetite, since I had been hardly eating for so long. I went out a short walk with some help, and after I returned I continued listening to the Fa.

It was already evening by the time my daughter began reading Lecture Two. That night I had a fever, but I was not really bothered by it, and soon fell asleep. This surprised me, because for so long I had been plagued by poor sleep from the uremia. That night I dreamed I was flying high through the sky with some celestial music playing all around.

I went to a nearby practice site the following day, with help from my family. The practitioners there were very nice. I listened while they read the Fa, and I watched them do the exercises. On the third day, I was able to walk back home by myself.

Although the many blisters remained, the swelling all over my body was dwindling day by day. By the fourth day, I was able to help my mother with the cooking, and I was able to ride a bicycle to the practice site. In the meantime, I told everyone I knew about the greatness of Falun Dafa. By the end of a week, my illnesses had almost completely disappeared.

This is how I began practicing Falun Dafa.

Several of my family members also experienced the miracles of Falun Dafa. A tumor formed near my granddaughter's right eye when she was 7 years old. Doctors recommended surgery, but we could not afford the thousands of yuan it required. However, she believed in Falun Dafa and often did exercises with me. One day after the sitting meditation, she cried out, “The tumor is gone!”

My father suffered a stroke last year, at the age of 83. I stayed with him for a month and asked him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good” every day. I also read Dafa books to him. Gradually, he was able to get out of bed, and he soon fully recovered.

During my niece’s wedding several days ago, my excited father told all the guests, “Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa saved my life!”
