(Minghui,org)
I am 67 years of age, and come from Qixia, Shandong Province. I had many illnesses before I began my practice of Falun Dafa. I was in such severe pain that I often thought about suicide. Falun Dafa saved me and helped me become healthy.
I was very sick in the spring of 2009. My body was swollen everywhere and I had great difficulty even walking. Most days, all I could do was lay in bed, I could not do any work. One day I managed to go outside and sit by the street. A Falun Dafa practitioner saw me and introduced Falun Dafa to me. She told me that I would receive blessings if I would repeat often “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good”. She also gave me a DVD about Falun Dafa, however I did not have a DVD player at that time. I asked her if she had a book I could read.
She returned to me a few days later with a copy of Master Li's lectures. My education was very limited and I had not read any books for many years. Many of the words in the book, I didn't know, so I skipped over them and read what I could. I got a general idea about the book and felt that what Master said in the book was very good.
Even though my reading is slow, I read every day. The more I read, the better I felt. By the 7th day, I was feeling much more comfortable andI felt as if something flew in my body. Later I learned that it was Master who helped me adjust my body. I experienced Dafa's magic power.
This practitioner then introduced me to two other practitioners who lived close to me, so we could study the Fa together. She also asked someone to deliver to me a set of audio tapes on Master's lectures. One of the two practitioners gave me my own copy of Zhuan Falun. I was still not good at reading, so I often listened to the tapes instead. Tears often fell from my eyes as I listened to Master.
I then contacted a practitioner to teach me the exercises. My finances were poor, so another practitioner loaned me money to buy an MP3 player. I started to practice the exercises. Then I was also loaned money to buy a DVD player.
Buying the DVD player was a magical experience for me. I told my fellow practitioner that I could not walk. He said: “yes you can!”. So I said okay and started to walk, he followed behind me. I felt my legs were so light and it seemed as if someone was gently pushing me along. I felt I had recovered, and was so happy.
After the purchase, we returned and he taught me how to use the DVD player. I watched a DVD about Falun Dafa immediately. I couldn't stop crying when I saw how practitioners were beaten by the police. The evil party was so cruel to the Dafa practitioners who are such good people. It really should be eliminated!
I studied the Fa and did the exercises every day. I listened to Master's lecture tapes. I wrote down the words I didn't know and asked for help from other practitioners or my grandson. Gradually I could read through Dafa books. My health continued to get better and better. I no longer took any medicine, and all of my illnesses were gone.
I decided to tell others about the wonderful things Falun Dafa had done for me. I began by telling my relatives and friends that Falun Dafa is wonderful. I went to the rural area of my hometown. There I introduced Falun Dafa to my cousin and his neighbors. I told them how I benefited from practicing Falun Dafa. Several neighbors had already heard the truth about Dafa and had renounced the Chinese Communist Party.
My cousin saw the changes in me and wanted to learn Dafa for himself. I helped him to obtain Falun Dafa books and to buy a DVD player. His back had been injured years before and gave him a lot of trouble. After he studied the Fa, he no longer had any back problems.
One day, my cousin drove a pedicab and had an accident, driving off the road. People who saw the accident didn't think he could have survived it, however he climbed out of the vehicle and was not the least bit hurt. He smiled and removed a Falun Dafa keepsake that I had long ago given him from his pocket. He held it up for all to see and said that Dafa protected him.
My cousin studied the Fa and practiced the exercises every day. He followed the Fa's requirements. He continued looking younger and his grey hair gradually returned black. His farm had a good apple crop and his income increased. He truly benefited a lot from Dafa.
I am very healthy and can work in the field. I also do some odd jobs to earn extra money. I don't need my children to support me financially. I clarify the truth to my neighbors and people I know. I tell everyone about the changes I experienced; the truth of Dafa. Many people saw the changes in me, learned the truth and quit the Chinese communist party and its affiliated organizations. Several people obtained the Fa.
I am not a well educated person. However I do my best to promote Dafa and save the world's people. I often distribute Falun Dafa materials and Shen Yun DVDs. I post Falun Dafa posters and hang banners.
When I recall how Master helped me become the healthy person I am today, I am overwhelmed, and full of tears. My appreciation to Master is beyond words. Dafa is so wondrous.
