(Minghui.org) I am 76 years old. I started to practice Falun Dafa in 2004 because of an illness. That was ten years ago.

In the second half of 2003 my whole body felt uncomfortable. I started to cough, my body could not stop shaking, and I was often out of breath. My daughter-in-law took me to the hospital for a checkup. I received injections several days in a row, but they did not help. The doctor said they would try a different drug.

I suddenly remembered that my siblings, who were practitioners, had told me about Falun Dafa. I told the doctor I would not come back the next day for treatment. The doctor and my daughter-in-law did not understand what I was trying to do. I had made up my mind: I wanted to practice Falun Dafa.

Once I made up my mind, I felt Master by my side. I felt much better that day, and I did not cough during the night. I asked my brother to get me the book Zhuan Falun. I understood why my decision to practice Falun Dafa brought me changes when I read the following paragraph in Zhuan Falun:

“We’d say that a good or bad outcome comes from one thought. The difference in one thought leads to different results.”

After reading the book, I realized that it was not a regular qigong book, but a book for cultivation which can lead people to higher levels. The more I studied the more I loved to study. Through Fa study and doing the exercises my illnesses all disappeared.

Seeing the changes in me, six people close to me soon came to my home to study the Fa and learn the exercises. They all felt good and benefited from the practice. However, in 2007 some Dafa practitioners were arrested by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They were very afraid, and stopped coming to my home to practice. Most of them gave up the practice, and their health returned to their prior states. Some suffered from very serious diseases. I felt deeply sorry for them.

Master Gave Me Wisdom

I not only benefited from the practice physically, but Master also gave me wisdom.

I did not spend much time in school. I knew what a dictionary was, but I did not know how to use it. After studying the Fa, I put up a pinyin poster intended for elementary school students on my wall. Usually it would be hard for a barely literate person of my age to learn pinyin. But I mastered pinyin in six months.

I am now able to use the dictionary to look up words so that I can pronounce them correctly. Master helped me when he saw my heart. If it were not for cultivation, I could not imagine this would have been possible. My family is amazed with the power of Dafa.

It helped me a lot to learn new words by using a dictionary. I now lookup words from Master's new articles that I am unfamiliar with so that I can pronounce them correctly.

The practitioners in our Fa study group are all over 75 years old. I noticed that they were using individual copies of Master's lectures. I helped them to organize the lectures, and to bind the same year lectures together for convenience.

I worked to revise the words in an earlier edition of Dafa books as required, and I have corrected the words in over ten copies of Zhuan Falun. Some practitioners were older than me, and it was hard for them to correct the words. Some did not have much time, so I just corrected the words for them. I did it mostly in the evening, and no matter how late I worked, I did not feel sleepy or tired.

My Family Benefits from Dafa

A few years ago all of my children were laid off from work. They had a hard life, but Master helped us. My younger son now works with a joint venture company.

Someone asked me how much I spent to find him the job. I told her I did not spend anything. My son was accepted after an entrance exam. That person then said it would usually take a 20,000 yuan bribe to get that kind of job. My tears started, and then she said, “Why do you cry? You should be happy since you did not spend any money."She did not know that I was so grateful that Master helped us. That is why I cried.

My daughter is a group leader in a private company. One day a 2000 pound metal wheel rolled over my daughter's feet. She was knocked down. She remembered my words, “Do not call for mom when you are in danger. I cannot help with anything. Call on Master for help.” So she called on Master to quickly save her.

She does not remember how the wheel got off her. People hurried over and urged her to go to the hospital for a checkup. When they came closer, they saw the color of her instep had turned just a little blue. Everyone was surprised. How could she still be okay after such a heavy wheel rolled over her feet. My daughter told them that they should call on Master for help when they are in danger. They wondered which Master? My daughter told them with a smile, “Falun Dafa's Master. You should all remember that!”

In 2004 the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published. I was a CCP party member, and I withdrew from the CCP. Later my sons and daughters quit the CCP with my help.

I have a younger brother who is a retired political cadre with many years of CCP membership. He suffered from severe ascites and tuberculosis. His family members were afraid of infection. They did not dare to eat with him at the same table.

My sister and I went to his home and persuaded him to quit the CCP. We told him that he could quit using his nickname or pseudonym instead of his real name. He said right away, “I am so sick of the CCP. I quit!” He quit the CCP using his real name. Later he told me, “Your Master is so powerful. My illnesses went away after I quit the CCP. You should cultivate well. We will all benefit from your practice.” His whole family now believes in Dafa.

My sister is a practitioner. But her husband does not practice. Something happened to him that was amazing.

My sister called me around nine o'clock in the evening one day in 2008. She asked me to go to the factory to check whether her husband was at work. I went there, and people told me he was not there. So I called my sister and my brother-in-law's siblings.

We went to his residence at the factory. We found him unconscious in the restroom. At the time we could not even detect his pulse. We carried him out of the restroom. We knelt down in front of Master's portrait and begged Master to save him. Within half an hour he woke up. We were crying. We sincerely thanked Master, as we believe he saved my brother-in-law's life!

Helping People to Quit the CCP

My sister and I would go to the market to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to save people every day. In the beginning it was hard for us to get even one person to quit the CCP after talking to people for half a day. With more Fa study, things started to change.

One time on the bus to downtown, I happened to sit next to two former colleagues. I told them about Falun Dafa and persuaded them to quit the CCP for their own good. They seemed to be very frightened in the beginning, but later they whispered to me, "Thank you".

Clarifying the truth about Falun Gong has now become part of my daily life. Master, I will listen to you. I will study the Fa well, improve my xinxing, and do well what a practitioner is required to do to be worthy of your compassionate and painstaking salvation.
