(Minghui. Org) I started practicing Falun Gong in May 2013, at the age of 42. The pain from herniation of my lumbar disc disappeared three days after I started practicing the Falun Gong exercises.
My wife started practicing Falun Gong in 2004. She has been very healthy, and no longer needs any medications.
I was beholden to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) when my wife started practicing. I had been deceived by the CCP's propaganda against Falun Gong, and I tried to stop her from practicing Falun Gong.
Seeing her tremendous physical and mental improvements, I started to believe in the extraordinary and miraculous power of Falun Gong. I then read the informational materials and Falun Gong books, as well as the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
I started to firmly support Falun Gong after I realized the true wickedness of the CCP. I then not only began supporting my wife's Dafa activities, but also clarified the facts about Falun Gong to co-workers at construction sites. I often told them of the beauty of Falun Gong and the viciousness of the CCP regime. I advised them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and brought the name list home to my wife to post online.
After my wife began practicing Falun Gong, my family became very harmonious, and our finances even improved. We were able to move into a large brick house. My son also found his dream job. I know that we should thank Master Li, the founder of the practice, for our good fortune.
My wife and I attended her younger sister's wedding in 2011, and had dinner at her aunt's home. I was not a practitioner at that time, and was slightly drunk when I left the dinner table. I got on a cargo van that my second cousin-in-law had parked in the yard, and started the engine even though I did not know how to drive. I could not control the car and I crashed it into some iron shelves. The van was almost totaled, but thankfully, I was not injured at all.
Even though I was not a practitioner at the time, I realized that Master Li was protecting me. Indeed, the entire family benefits when one person practices.
I felt a strong pain when visiting a hospitalized friend in April 2013. I had an examination and was told that my lumbar disc had herniated. The pain got so bad that I bought some pain killers and immediately returned home. I could not walk home after I got off the bus, and had to call my wife to help me.
The unbearable pain made me cry. My wife suggested that I start cultivating. I just closed my eyes without saying a word. A practitioner visited me the following day and told me the benefits of being a practitioner. That was the turning point, and I stepped into the practice.
Three practitioners including my wife asked me to get off the bed and practice the exercises with them that evening. I agreed, and did all five exercises. I sweated heavily and my face was pale. I later realized that Master had cleansed my body. My pain lessened by the following day, and it completely disappeared after three days of doing the exercises.
I returned to work a few days later. Being a practitioner, I live by the Falun Gong principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance at all times. I also send righteous thoughts and clarify the facts about Falun Gong to people.
