(Minghui.org) I am a young Falun Gong practitioner from China. I started practicing Falun Gong with my parents when I was little, but I slacked off when the Chinese Communist regime began to suppress Falun Gong in 1999.

I was concerned with worldly instead of spiritual things for 10 years. I returned to Falun Gong in my sophomore year in college. That was when I experienced many wonderful things.

Acne Disappeared after Eight Years

I had had acne since middle school. I wanted to look pretty like other teenage girls, but my severe acne affected my confidence and got worse as I got older.

When I returned to practicing Falun Gong in the summer of my sophomore year, I decided that I would spend a lot of time studying the Falun Gong teachings and practicing the exercises to make up for lost time. I also took every opportunity to explain to people what this practice was all about.

I was totally immersed in my cultivation and no longer paid attention to my acne problem. I even went back to regular soap after finishing my last tube of special facial cleanser. I also stopped looking in the mirror as frequently.

The acne that had bothered me for eight years disappeared by the end of my summer vacation, even though I had only returned to the practice in the middle of my vacation!

The acne had affected my self-esteem and confidence during my teenage years, but just as I was letting go of my attachment to vanity, Teacher cured me of acne! I got a lot of compliments when I returned to school for the fall semester. Everyone wanted to know my secret. I told them that I had started practicing Falun Gong during the summer and now the acne had miraculously disappeared!

My skin has become fair, my pores smaller, and I glow with a rosy complexion. I don't have to wear makeup to look beautiful. It is just as Teacher said,

"To tell a joke, young ladies always like to apply facial makeup and want to make their complexion fairer and better. I would say that if you truly follow a cultivation practice of mind and body, you will naturally achieve that goal. It is guaranteed that you will not need to use cosmetics." (Zhuan Falun)

Offered an Excellent Job Without Bribery

Recent college graduates in China face a really tough job market. Friends and relatives told me about job opportunities with good salaries in different cities when I started my job search, but I wanted to stay close to home to minimize the impact on my cultivation routine.

One day my mom's friend referred me to an excellent job opportunity. I would get full benefits and be close to home. My colleagues were very surprised that I didn't have to move to a different city or start as a contract employee for my first job after college. Many speculated on my background and my connections.

It is true that I have the best connection, because I'm a disciple of Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong! Teacher must have made the arrangement for me.

My colleagues speculated that I might have spent 200,000 to 400,000 yuan in bribes to land this job. The truth is, I didn't pay a penny.

It may be customary in China to get things done through bribery, but I was determined not to go that route when looking for a job. I prefer to use my money on producing truth-clarification materials about Falun Gong and help people understand what a wonderful cultivation practice it is.

Teacher said,

"Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master." (Zhuan Falun)

I wanted to share these stories to illustrate that Falun Gong is a great cultivation practice.

I'm asking everyone not to take China's propaganda against Falun Gong as fact. Why not look for information about Falun Gong on the Internet? I am confident that you, too, can be blessed and experience Falun Gong's miraculous power if you would only learn more about Falun Gong and give it a try.
