I Experienced What It Means to Be Illness-Free

(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in July 1998 and have been practicing it for over a decade. Falun Dafa granted me and my parents good health so I have firsthand experience of the magical effect of health without medicine. I experienced what it means to be disease-free.

Before practicing Falun Dafa, I was home on sick leave for eight years, and I was only a little over 30 years old. I suffered from long-term stomach problems, inadequate cardio blood supply, inadequate cerebral blood supply, low blood sugar, low back pain, headaches, frozen shoulder, women's diseases, and a variety of other ailments. I also couldn’t sleep well. I had to take a lot of supplements because I couldn’t eat well either. When my illnesses were serious, I couldn’t even take care of myself.

Miracles Started to Happen

After practicing Falun Dafa, I read through Zhuan Falun and had only done the exercises for a few days when a miracle happened.

One day at noon, I felt very sleepy while reading Dafa books, so I laid down for a bit and fell fast asleep. I dreamed I went to the bathroom to take a bath. When I woke up, I felt very light and comfortable, an extraordinary sensation I had never had in my whole life.

That evening after dinner, I joined my Fa study group and shared what happened with other practitioners. From them, I learned it was Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa who had cleansed my body.

From then on, I stopped taking supplements. Every morning I go about three miles to participate in group exercises. After dinner I go seven or eight miles to participate in group Fa study. I read Dafa books every day after my household chores, or go out to help others to learn the practice. I have no feeling of being tired. I truly know firsthand what it means to be illness free.

My husband tells everybody: “Falun Dafa is good. As soon as my wife started practicing Falun Dafa, all her old illnesses disappeared. Now, she can do any kind of work with no problem at all.”

After I started practicing Falun Dafa, from time to time, one or two of my old illness symptoms would return, but as long as I trusted Dafa, believing it was Master cleansing my body, in three to five days every illness symptom would disappear.

One spring day in 2002, I went out to talk to a colleague about Dafa on an 80-mile round-trip bike ride. I didn’t feel tired at all. However, the next day, my back and legs started hurting, followed by a headache, fever, and frequent and painful urination. The next day, I felt worse.

At night, when I went to bed, I would suddenly get the chills. Even with two quilts, I would still be shivering. After the chills subsided, my body would be on fire. I became extremely hot and uncomfortable. Late into the night, I would break out in a cold sweat. My underwear would be soaked through.

It continued for several days and nights. I couldn’t sleep well, and I couldn’t eat either.

I firmly believed that Master was adjusting my body, ridding me of all illnesses. I reminded myself of Master’s words: “When it's difficult to endure, you can endure it.” (Lecture 9 from Zhuan Falun), I believed what Master says: “When you feel very uncomfortable, it indicates that things will turn around after reaching the extreme point. Your whole body will be purified and it must be completely purified.” (Lecture 2 from Zhuan Falun)

I was sure Master was getting rid of all the root causes of my illnesses, so I said to Master in my heart, “I will endure anything and everything.”

For several days I had no appetite, nor did I have energy to do any household chores. My husband wanted to take me to the hospital but I explained to him: “A practitioner does not get sick. Hasn’t Master already got rid of my illnesses? Master is just getting rid of all the root causes of my old illnesses. You are aware I have been practicing these past few years and haven’t taken any medication. I appreciate your concern, but I’m okay. I won’t take medicine and I won’t go to the hospital.”

I insisted on reading Dafa books and doing the exercises. Very soon, I was restored to health. Since then, none of my old illnesses has recurred. I know Master has endured a lot for me. If I had not practiced Falun Dafa, I wouldn’t have enjoyed good health for over a decade.

My husband often says to others: “My wife has not taken any medicine for 15 to 16 years. She hasn’t spent one penny on medical expenses.”

Father Listened to Dafa Lectures and Died Painlessly of Late Stage Cancer

In July 1998, after I had just started practicing Falun Dafa, my father was diagnosed with late stage cancer. He was restless and in constant pain. He needed a lot of painkillers. I read Zhuan Falun to my father. Master says, “You can read this book to a patient. If the patient can accept it, it can heal illness. But the results will differ according to each person’s amount of karma.” (Lecture 7 from Zhuan Falun) Father was very happy to listen to my reading. He said Master’s words were very good. As a result of listening to Zhuan Falun, father felt no pain. He even stopped taking painkillers. He finally passed away in a painless state.

Mother Recovered from Advanced Esophageal Cancer

After my father’s death, my mother was diagnosed with late stage esophageal cancer.

I read Zhuan Falun to my mother in the hospital. Mother listened and believed, so she did not regard her condition as incurable. A week later, mother dreamed that Master was cleansing her body. The next day, she could drink some water. Two weeks later, she could eat some porridge. Then she was able to sit up to do the meditation exercise.

After twenty days, mother had another dream. She dreamed that Master was using a long needle to poke through her throat. After that, she was able to eat soft steamed rice and leavened bread stew and some vegetables. As soon as she was able to get out of bed, she began to do the standing exercises.

A month after that, she was released from hospital. Her doctor and other patients were amazed that someone with late stage esophageal cancer could, without surgery or chemotherapy, start eating and drinking, and leave the hospital just by listening to a Dafa book and do Falun Dafa exercises.

It’s truly a miracle! Friends, relatives, and neighbors also witnessed Dafa's extraordinary magical power.

Since then, I would tell my story and my parents’ stories to the people I met as a way to validate Dafa and to let them know that by practicing “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” to be good people, they will also enjoy being illness free, because Master says: “Cultivation practice is the only way to find yourself comfortably free of illness and to accomplish the goal of being truly free!” (Lecture 2 from Zhuan Falun)

To cultivate and practice Falun Dafa, you will truly attain the state of being completely illness free.
