(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in March 1996. Before then, I suffered from high blood pressure, angina, cholecystitis, and other ailments that defied both Chinese and Western medicine.
I was fortunate to be able to watch Master Li Hongzhi’s video lectures where I worked. I was immediately drawn to it and wondered, "Why is this master different from the others?" I was compelled to keep watching and saw all three of Master’s lectures: from Jinan, Dalian, and Guangzhou.
My body experienced great changes during that time. Within three days, I felt that my mind had become very clear, and my blood pressure was not as high as before. I stopped taking my pills and was surprised to see that my blood pressure reading hadn't gone up when I checked two days later.
I wasn’t totally convinced, so I checked it again. It was the same. I was quite sure that the high blood pressure that had plagued me for ages had disappeared as a result of watching Master’s lectures. I was so happy that I no longer needed to take pills for my blood pressure.
I gathered up all my medications and the blood pressure gauge and got rid of them.
My other ailments gradually disappeared as I kept practicing Falun Gong. I became healthy and didn’t need to take medicine again.
Unscathed after Being Hit by a Car
Another practitioner and I were riding our bicycles on December 7, 1997. As we passed a post office I noticed a car parked in the bicycle lane, so we went around it and carried on. The car then pulled away at high speed and knocked my companion into the pedestrian lane.
As I looked around, the driver turned the wheel abruptly and drove into me. I was apparently dragged about 6 meters before the car stopped. However, I felt that I was lying in a soft pink house that was very comfortable. I could feel my back touching the floor, but nothing else.
When I opened my eyes, I realized I was pinned under the car. I felt the full weight of it on top of me and couldn't breathe.
I immediately started thinking: “I am a Falun Gong practitioner and I, will be OK.” Bystanders helped to pull me out from under the car. I was so relieved when I was able to stand up.
One person wanted me to take me to the hospital to get checked out. I told him that it wasn’t necessary and that I would be fine.” He tried to persuade me to go and said that the driver will have to compensate me for the accident since it wasn’t my fault. I said: “I am a Falun Gong practitioner and will be fine. The driver didn’t hit me on purpose. I shouldn't cause trouble for him. Maybe I owed him from my previous life, and now it was time to repay him.”
A young man grabbed hold of my hand and said, “Thank you!” I didn’t know who he was--he may have been the driver. I replied, “Don’t mention it.”
My clothes were ripped and my bicycle was broken, yet I was unscathed.
When I returned home I burst into tears and knelt down before Master’s picture. I repeatedly cried out, “Master!” I could not express my gratitude fully, and only that one word appeared in my mind - “Master!”
Falun Gong Helped to Improve My Moral Standards
My moral character has also improved since practicing Falun Gong. I am often given too much change when I go shopping. Whenever this happens, I think: "I must act in accordance with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." So I always give back the extra, which I would never have done before.
The school principal told me, “Your standards are impeccable,” and last year, arranged for me to take care of the students cashless payment card for the cafeteria and supermarket in the school.
When I started my new assignment, there was a problem with the computer: it always showed the same date, January 1, 2005.
After I topped-up the students payment cards, I discovered that the date was wrong. I immediately contacted the company responsible and had the computer fixed.
A few days later, the same thing happened again, and the company had to send someone to fix it. But several days later it failed again. The man from the company said there were major problems with the top-up machine. He brought in a new one, and the problem was solved.
That was a very stressful time for me, because I was unable to accurately record the money the students paid. I told the principal that, due to problems with the computer, I had collected was far more money than what was recorded. The principal told me not to worry and said they would make sure their records matched the amount I collected.
The difference was 10,000 yuan, and if I didn't practice Falun Gong, I would have pocketed the money, as no one would have known. But since I began following Dafa's principles, I've never taken advantage of others.
There was another incident that tested my xinxing. The students often used bills that were worn and creased, so the currency checking machine would read it as counterfeit. On one occasion, a number of people had to reload their cards. I didn't watch the transactions carefully, and one fake 100-yuan note was used.
The supplier pointed out the counterfeit bill when I was paying him. After making sure that it was a fake, I immediately tore it up. The other two workers present were shocked and both quickly shouted, “Don’t tear it!”
One of them suggested that, if we taped it together, we would still be able to use it. I said, “That counterfeit bill will stop here. I won’t let it hurt someone else.” I tore it into tiny pieces so it could not be reassembled. Then I took out 100 yuan from my own pocket and put it in the drawer.
The workers said that I shouldn't reimburse the school, that the school should be responsible for it. I told them that, because I had accepted the bad bill, I should make up for it.
That incident was later discussed by the staff, who considered my actions to be commendable. My work colleagues now knows firsthand that Falun Gong practitioners are ethical and honest.
