(Minghui.org) Over the past 21 years, one after another of my family members has taken up the practice of Falun Dafa and begun to enjoy tremendous benefits. Many of my loved ones had their stubborn illnesses cured or even escaped danger, all thanks to this wonderful practice.

I would like to share some of our stories as a token of appreciation to Master.

My Mother Attend's Master Li's Lecture

My mother was only 46 years old when she developed a slipped disc and was bedridden. She had cramps in her legs and they hurt all the time. Because of the discomfort, she had to lie on her back and use her elbows to prop herself up when needed. She got thick calluses on her elbows. She tried traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, acupuncture, and massage, but nothing really worked. She thought about surgery but soon gave up the idea, fearing she might be paralyzed after the operation.

My mother relied on painkillers to get by, and her life was beyond miserable.

About two weeks into my mother's hospitalization, we learned from a neighbor that a Qigong master would give a lecture and treat illnesses. It was said this person had cured many stubborn illnesses and was the most outstanding Qigong master people had ever seen.

My mother and her ward mates decided to give it a try.

I remember clearly it was August 9, 1992. We got my mother to Changkong Club on a stretcher before seven in the morning.

Everyone sat down to wait for the lecture to start, but my mother had to crouch on the stretcher.

A tall young man in a white jacket came over and asked us to take my mother to the stage when he learned of her slipped disc.

We were surprised to find out the young man was actually our Master. My mother agreed without hesitation when Master asked if she'd like to cooperate with him.

Master patted her on the back a few times and said, “Turn over and sit up.” To everyone's surprise, my mother indeed sat up. Then Master asked her to bend down, and she did just that without any trouble. When Master asked her to run on the stage in a few circles, my mother sprinted into action right away.

Thunderous applause broke out in the auditorium. Many people were so excited that they were moved to tears.

The very next day my mother checked out of the hospital and continued to attend Master's lecture series. After that she and my father went to the park to practice the Falun Dafa exercises every morning.

My Niece Recovered from a Bone Tumor

One of my cousins' youngest daughters was only 16 when a tumor on the bone in her upper left arm got so bad that it turned black. All the doctors she saw said the only solution was to replace the bone with a rib. My cousin's family was terribly upset at the very idea.

My cousin then remembered how my parents got well after practicing Falun Dafa, so she asked her daughter if she wanted to give it a try. My niece agreed right away. She got a sling on her arm and left the hospital. Nineteen days later she visited my parents to learn the exercises. Just a few days after she returned home, she was able to remove her sling without any more pain in her arm. A follow-up exam showed the bone had completely healed. My cousin's family was overjoyed.

My Aunt's Husband and Daughter Survived a Car Accident

My youngest aunt and her family all attended Master's lecture series given at Mingfang Auditorium in Jilin Province in May 1994.

A day after the first lecture, my aunt and her husband rode their bikes home, my uncle carrying their daughter on the back seat of his bike.

A speeding jeep suddenly came up behind them and knocked my uncle and cousin down. My uncle's shoes and glasses flew off and there were goose-egg-sized bumps on the back of his head.

When he figured out what was going on, he realized his daughter was missing. He eventually found her in the middle of a busy road about 30 meters away. Had cars been passing at the time, she'd have been run over. It was really frightening. My cousin complained about the excruciating pain in her abdomen, but my aunt assured her that Master was protecting her.

My uncle couldn't find his bike, so they had to walk home. When they reached People's Plaza, they saw that the police had stopped the jeep that had knocked them down. My uncle's bike was still hooked to the flagpole at the front of the vehicle.

The next day my uncle went to have a CT scan and everything was normal. All three attended that day's lecture and didn't miss anything.

My Other Aunt's Glaucoma Was Cured

I have another aunt who was a devout Buddhist for more than 20 years. She used to suffer from poor health and was hospitalized quite a few times. She had problems with her windpipe and often had trouble catching her breath. Once she had to be resuscitated and it was very serious. She also had glaucoma in her left eye and the surgery meant to fix the problem not only failed to improve her condition, but also made her right eye bad. As a result, she had poor vision in both eyes and couldn't even recognize people right in front of her. A very independent person, she preferred to live alone but had to stay with her children because of her eyesight. She was very depressed.

She watched attentively when her grandson played the 2009 Shen Yun show on his computer in March 2009. In particular, she watched the dance "Udumbara" three times.

Afterwards, she noticed her grandson doing his homework. An illiterate with no schooling at all, she surprised the boy by recognizing quite a few characters in his textbook.

This experience inspired her to practice Falun Dafa the very next day. At 82 years old, she now has a rosy complexion and delicate skin and one-third of her hair has turned from grey to black. With each passing day, she has more and more energy.

My Youngest Uncle's Stroke Symptoms Disappeared in a Day

In the summer of 2002, my youngest uncle suddenly noticed his speech becoming slurred and he had trouble moving his arms and legs, all symptoms of a stroke. His son-in-law took him to a hospital for an injection and by the time he left the hospital, he wasn't even able to put on his shoes by himself.

That very night my uncle sat in bed with his legs crossed and one firm thought in his mind. He asked Master to please help him. He knew he didn't do well and had argued with others the day before. He promised to do better in the future.

After nearly two hours of meditation, he suddenly felt a warm current rushing from his crotch all the way down his legs two times. Just like that, his stroke-like symptoms went away without a trace. It was truly unbelievable, as it normally takes a long time for a stroke patient to recover.

This is just what I witnessed within my own immediate and extended family. With so many people practicing Falun Dafa, one can only imagine how many more such miracles have occurred.
