(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Gong in June 2012. Within a year, I returned to good health, after having been ill for a long time.
Before, I suffered from vertigo, gynecological problems, and hypertension. I had rheumatoid osteoarthritis in my right leg and muscle atrophy in my left. Both legs were severely disabled. I visited many hospitals, and the doctors said that surgery was the only solution.
My mother suddenly became paralyzed and was treated at a hospital out of town during my most painful time. When I visited her with my younger sister, I ran into a former colleague of my father's, who was a Falun Gong practitioner. She clarified the truth about Falun Gong to us and gave us amulets. She even invited us to have a dinner at her home.
We did not go, because my mind had been poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) misinformation and I was hostile toward Falun Gong. She brought us some dumplings the following day. To be polite, I just kept smiling while she was explaining the facts. Remembering that today, I feel so ashamed.
However, Master did not give up on me. A local practitioner gave me informational materials about Falun Gong a few days after I returned home, but I put them aside without a glance.
Suffering with No End in Sight
The pain in my legs later got so severe that I decided to have surgery in Beijing. On my way to the hospital, many people discouraged me. They told me that the surgery would not solve my problem, that it would come back in a few years, and that I would eventually need a cane. I was disappointed and sad. Seeing how sad I was, my husband comforted me and suggested that I get a second opinion before making a final decision.
The doctor told us that I would need an operation, but I only took some pain medication and returned home because I was not confident in the outcome of the surgery. While my leg pains were alleviated by the medication, I got a severe stomachache and headache.
Benefiting from Practicing Falun Gong
Several practitioners came to see me again and encouraged me to practice Falun Gong. They brought me a copy of Zhuan Falun and taught me the five exercises. I then became a practitioner.
I had a very hard time doing the meditation exercise because of my legs. I started in the half lotus position. It was painful at first, but I grinned and bore it. I gradually increased my meditation time from around 10 minutes to about 20 minutes, and then to half an hour. Some 20 days later, I decided to meditate in the full lotus position. I tried for seven or eight minutes and finally did it. Master was helping me!
Master purified my body. I threw away all the unneeded medications. My left leg is back to normal and my disabled right leg is on its way to becoming normal. People have asked me how I did it. I tell them that I was cured by practicing Falun Gong. Because of the benefits I derived from the practice, my husband tells people that Falun Gong is good. He tells people about t he miraculous power of Falun Gong. He even drove me and fellow practitioners to buy MP3 players for our Fa study.
Practicing Diligently and Clarifying the Truth about Falun Gong
I established a Fa study group at my home. My husband told me that I didn't have to do anything at home but cultivate, but I realized that I should go out to clarify the truth about Falun Gong and save people.
I came across a relative in a plaza one day. She was surprised at how I had changed and asked me how I had returned to good health. I told her about Falun Gong and the extraordinary power of the practice. I told her that the Tiananmen Square self-immolation had been staged. I also told her that the CCP and its minions harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. She not only quit the CCP but also encouraged me to continue practicing diligently.
Almost everyone in my family and my husband's family has quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I know that it was Master's doing that allowed me to return to good health. I believe Master arranged for those people to discourage me from getting the surgery. That led me to the path of cultivation. Although I was not a practitioner, Master had taken care of me. I can't express in words my appreciation for Master's compassion. I will diligently walk on my cultivation path and do well the three things to save more predestined people.
Heshi to Master! Heshi to fellow practitioners!
