(Minghui.org) Career success didn't provide high quality of life for this former top sales person. He drank a lot to cope with stress at work and suffered from many diseases as a result of his addiction to alcohol.
Mr. Wen Jinde, 62, learned about Falun Gong through business contacts 12 years ago. He was an atheist and never had any interest in anything spiritual. However, after he finally tried the practice, his diseases were miraculously healed. He has since become an ardent advocate of Falun Gong.
Mr. Wen Jingde started practicing Falun Gong in 2003. His gout, high blood pressure and other health problems were healed.
As a top car salesman and later antique car dealer, Mr. Wen had a luxury lifestyle. He did not believe in Gods or Buddhas, much less cultivation. He enjoyed the material life and drank every day. By the time he reached middle age, he had been suffering from gout, high blood pressure and insomnia.
Mr. Wen went to Yujing District of Tainan City to visit a decade-long friend one day and wanted to do some antique car business with him. When Mr. Ye's wife greeted him at the door, he noticed she looked very healthy and her complexion looked like a young woman's.
He asked her: “What kind of makeup products do you use? How is it you look so good?” She told him she started practicing Falun Gong three months before.
She told him the health benefits of Falun Gong and gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun and stressed: “Be sure to read this book and go to your local practice site.”
Mr. Ye's wife called him six weeks later and asked: “Have you finished reading the book? Have you started to do the exercises?”
Mr. Wen had only read one third of the book. He did not believe in Falun Gong and was still drinking heavily. However, he was touched by her sincerity. He thought: “I'm already 50 years old. Those fitness exercises no longer suit me. Why not try the Falun Gong exercises?”
He went to the Dongning Park practice site near his house to have a look. The practitioners showed him the Falun Gong exercises.
He went to the Falun Gong practice site to learn and he practiced for one month. Although he only practiced the first four sets of exercises, he noticed he walked very quickly and energetically.
His cataracts healed without surgery. He could even see the very small words in the newspaper. His long term health issues, such as gout, high blood pressure and insomnia were all healed.
His friend visited him a week after he started practicing Falun Gong. While they were waiting at a restaurant for dumplings, Mr. Wen's lower abdomen shook visibly. He thought it must be that Master installed Falun as described in Zhuan Falun.
The occurrence also surprised his friend and made him think that Falun Gong is miraculous. Mr. Wen got rid of his atheist thinking and began to firmly believe in Falun Dafa. He practiced the exercises twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Quitting Alcohol
Mr. Wen naturally quit drinking alcohol after he practiced Falun Gong. His personality became calm, pleasant and he no longer lost his temper. His family life became much better. A group of nine friends who had been his drinking buddies came to his car dealership to visit him after he had practiced Falun Gong for eight months.
They could hardly recognize Mr. Wen because he seemed to have changed into another person, with a rosy complexion and more hair. Each of these friends wanted to learn Falun Gong.
Mr. Wen sincerely studied Zhuan Falun, and used every opportunity to study the Fa. He studied seven chapters straight one day. The printed black words looked blue and the whole book appeared to be golden after a while.
Each sentence in the book seemed to be circled by golden light and the color rotated as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. He thought it was a book to be treasured, which encompassed boundless meanings. He has kept studying the Fa and doing the exercises for 12 years.
Mr. Wen experienced Guanding as mentioned by Zhuan Falun. On two occasions he felt a strong, warm current flowing through his body from head to toe. His back seemed to be massaged by the wheel rapidly. That feeling lasted for several months. As a result his back pain was healed. He smelled sandalwood several mornings when he was only half awake.
Promoting Falun Gong Enthusiastically
Since Mr. Wen benefited so much from Falun Gong, he hopes that more people can know about it.
He introduced Falun Gong to his friends and other people he met. He uses his own experiences to explain: “Cultivation of Falun Gong brings one a healthy body and it's free of charge.”
He brings hundreds of Falun Gong materials to share with others after he finishes doing the exercises and studying the Fa each morning. He goes to schools, hospitals, parks and the university near his house to pass out Falun Gong materials.
A nine-day Falun Gong learning program is held each month at the Dongning practice site. Mr. Wen has enthusiastically shown new practitioners the exercises for the past seven years.
He hopes that every new practitioner will keep practicing, so after the nine day class is finished, he calls each one to encourage them to do the exercises at the practice site. He tells them this is a new beginning and that they should treasure it.
For over ten years, Mr. Wen, along with his fellow practitioners, have spread the Fa and helped many people living in the Dongning area to learn about Falun Gong.
