(Minghui.org) My husband was born in the early 1960s and retired from the financial services sector at the age of 48. He had been imbued with the evil culture of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and poisoned by its atheism. He believed that telling the truth would ultimately ruin a person. He thus neither told the truth nor trusted other people.
My husband suffered many ailments including hypertension, kidney stones, gout, and rhinitis. He had sought treatment from Western doctors and Chinese medicine healers, which, in the end, were ineffective. Besides kidney stones that caused severe pain, the gout was so painful that he couldn't walk when he had an attack.
Forcing Family Members to Stop Practicing Falun Gong
My husband had been deeply deceived by the CCP lies. He scolded me and demanded I stop when I started practicing Falun Gong in 2006. He refused to listen to the truth about Falun Gong when I tried to talk to him. He even destroyed or burned my Falun Gong informational materials.
When I clarified the facts about Falun Gong to his sister-in-law one day, my husband cursed at me, “Are you trying to destroy their family?”
He worked for a local government agency. One of his colleagues was often threatened with the loss of his job because his wife was arrested for practicing Falun Gong. My husband hated that I practiced Falun Gong, because he was worried that might happen to him.
After some time, he no longer tried to stop me, because he realized that I just ignored his demands. Also, he noticed that I wasn't acting like it said on television. I did not respond in kind when beaten, sworn at, or scolded. Sometimes, he secretly read the Falun Gong books when I was not at home.
One Person Practicing Benefits the Whole Family
My husband took a mountain hike three years after I began to practice. He had a stroke and was taken to a hospital five hours later. When I arrived, he emotionally said, “Oh, you are here!” and then stopped talking.
I was calm, because I believed what Master said: “With one person practicing, the whole family benefits.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia”) I knew that, given Master's protection, my husband would be all right. I whispered to him, “You will be fine. Just recite, 'Falun Gong is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good' from deep in your heart.” He said, “Well I know.”
Unexpectedly, he recited these nine words (in Chinese) loudly in front of many people. At that moment, he was so peaceful and kind, a kindness he had never shown before. He was completely submerged in the energy of kindness. I was totally shocked.
He fainted after saying them. I knew why he could remain sober-minded, remain calm until I arrived, and remember these nine words before he went into a coma. I fully understood that this was due to Master's mercy.
The doctor told me that my husband had suffered cerebral hemorrhage and needed to be operated on immediately. I did not agree, because I firmly believed that my husband would be all right. The doctor warned me that I would have to be responsible for the delay if anything happened. But I didn't change my mind. He was taken to an emergency room for monitoring. A film taken that afternoon showed that the bleeding was disappearing, and it was stopped completely on the third day. He was soon transferred to a regular room.
Becoming a Practitioner
I played Master's Fa teaching CD to him while he was in the hospital. He quietly listened to the Fa every day. On one occasion, he said, “The Fa Master taught us is right. What's wrong with teaching people to be good?” Master purified his body as he was listening to the Fa, and he regained his health very quickly. Doctors were surprised that my husband could get out of bed within 20 days.
My husband started practicing Falun Gong after he was discharged from the hospital. He learned the five exercises and read Zhuan Falun daily. He understood that illness is retribution for accumulated karma and can only be removed by living by the principles Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and improving one's morality. He also understood that it is a heavenly principle that good is rewarded with good and evil provokes retribution.
He continues to change. He is slowly giving up lying and his hot temper. He also quit smoking and drinking. He said that he felt a warm current flowing down from his head to his back when he did the Standing Stance second exercise one day. He believed that Master Li Hongzhi was purifying his brain.
Returning to Good Health
My husband now doesn't skip any Fa study and practices the five exercises daily. He is enjoying good health and feels relaxed. The rheumatoid arthritis that he was diagnosed with as a teenager came back 30 years later, but disappeared after some time. He had remembered what Master said :
Master said:
“The ill part of your body, which you thought was healed before through qigong exercises or by a qigong master, will again have illness. This is because that qigong master did not cure the illness for you—he only postponed it. It was still there and would recur later if not at that time. We must dig it out and eliminate it completely from its root. With this, you may feel that your illnesses have recurred. This is to remove your karma fundamentally. Thus, you will have reactions.” ( “Zhuan Falun “)
My husband no longer takes any medication. He studies the Fa and practices the exercises. He strongly believes everything Master said in his writings. He knows that it was Master who returned him to good health. He said, “It is really miraculous that just reading the book can cure diseases.”
Witnessing the Practice as a More Advanced Science
The Jiang Zemin regime has slandered Falun Gong with many lies. He claimed that Falun Gong told people not to take medicine and caused 1,400 deaths, and that it deceived the public and poisoned people's minds. As a matter of fact, Master said, “It’s not that people aren’t allowed to take medicine. When an everyday person gets sick he definitely needs medical treatment.” (“Teaching the Fa in New York City")
In Zhuan Falun , Master describes why one becomes ill and the relationship between cultivation and medicine. My husband has personally witnessed the miraculous power of Falun Gong.
My husband's gratitude to Master cannot be described in mere words. He sincerely recited in front of Master's photo while bowing, “Falun Gong is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
When we get together with friends and relatives, my husband always tells them: “Falun Gong is very good. What was said in TV is false. The Tiananmen Square self-immolation is a lie. It was staged by the CCP. Look! After cultivating I returned to good health. My child also benefited. Benefits from Falun Gong are endless!”
