(Minghui.org) A practitioner asked directions from a 70-year-old man who lived in a rural area. He talked to him about Falun Gong. The man responded that he had Falun Gong books at home, and he explained that he used to study it. However, because of the onset of the persecution, they could not learn the exercises. The practitioner asked for his address and planned to visit him in the future.
That practitioner asked me to come with him to visit the elderly man last month. The elderly man happened to be at home. His 70-year-old wife was cleaning vegetables in their yard, so we asked her to join us.
His wife had a hunchback, walked bent over, and had problems hearing.
When she entered the room I could see her more clearly. Almost all of her hair had turned white. But her face had a glow, just like that of a small child. She had a big smile on her face and acted as if we were long-lost friends.
Returning to the Path of Cultivation
Within a short time I realized that she had studied Falun Gong. Her husband showed us the Falun Gong books they had in their house: Zhuan Falun , Zhuan Falun Volume II, The Great Consummation Way of Falun Dafa , and Essentials For Further Advancement.
The other practitioner was very sad when he saw the condition of Zhuan Falun , which was dirty and missing pages, and said he would find a practitioner who could fix it by adding the missing pages. The practitioner gave them his own copy and an MP3 with Master's lectures and exercise music.
The lady said that she could read the Chinese characters, but, because of back pain and her inability to straighten her back, she couldn't do the exercises.
I told her that Master was waiting for every former practitioner to come back to the path of cultivation, even practitioners who had renounced the practice. We planned to leave at 11 a.m. and asked her to do the exercises and study the Fa with us. We encouraged her and said that, if she believed in Master, he would take care of her and a miracle would occur for sure.
Experiencing a Miracle
Without intent, I suddenly was moved to do the first Falun Gong exercise. In my understanding, Master was somehow having me do “Maitreya Stretching His Back.”
At that moment, I recalled that Master straightened a hunchback at the Beijing Oriental Health Expo in 1993 and remembered what he had said. I said, “Straighten your back. Master is taking care of you.” I think Master was using my mouth.
The lady was surprised and began to straighten her back. I said very loudly, “Straighten! Straighten! Straighten again!” As I shouted, she straightened her back with a smile on her face and stood up in front of us.
The power of Falun Gong was truly demonstrated. We could not express in words what we felt. We do not know how to repay Master. The only way is to cultivate diligently.
We did the first four exercises with her and then left. We could not calm down on our way home. We will remember that day forever.
