(Minghui.org) Some people were introducing Falun Gong in the district where I lived towards the end of 1998. They were talking about how Falun Gong has miraculous healing powers and can help you keep fit and healthy. They looked so happy and worry-free, so I learned the exercises from them. After four or five days, my illnesses started to ease up. It was really amazing! So I decided to practice Falun Gong.
Healing Others Only Worsened My Health
I started having severe headaches when I was six years old, and the only way I could relieve some of the pain was to bang my head against the wall. I also suffered from severe stomach problems. I was basically languishing from day to day.
When I turned 27, I was taken to see a 50-year-old guy who was healing illnesses. He said to me, “You need to learn these healing methods from me or your sicknesses will not go away.” I believed him.
Three years later, I was out there healing others using these techniques. For almost 20 years, I had used different healing methods to try and cure other people's illnesses, such as drawing symbols, burning incense, burning pieces of paper and chanting incantations to lure low-level spirits to heal them. I was able to tell what kind of illness a person was suffering from, and people thought I had skill.
I became well known. People from different societal backgrounds and from all walks of life started coming to me for healing. They included the deputy mayor and many other high-level government officials.
The only thing was that my own illnesses didn’t get any better. In fact they got worse, as my health gradually deteriorated. Besides my original problems, I also developed some kidney stones, uterine tumors and cervical diseases. I became pale and was in a lot of pain.
The day I met those Falun Gong people and decided to practice, my life turned around. I felt that I truly benefited from the exercises and that my life was good. After reading Zhuan Falun and other Dafa books, I realized that I had brought a lot of negative things onto my body by healing others. So, I stayed away from those things from that point on.
Regretfully Wasting 13 Precious Years
In 1999, shortly after I started to practice, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong. Several practitioners and I decided to appeal and went to the provincial government to petition. We were all arrested and taken to the police station, and were forced to sign on a prepared guarantee statement, that we would not continue to practice Falun Gong. I was petrified. I didn’t even read what was on the form carefully, and did what I was told.
My family was also putting pressure on me to stop practicing. So I did. I was way too afraid. And, from then on, my lightheartedness and laughter likewise diminished. My original illnesses reappeared, and I was once again thrown back to my former state of living in pain and depression.
My life became boring, and I resumed my old methods of healing others. Another 12 years slipped by.
At the end of 2012, I met up with a Falun Gong practitioner who clarified the facts to me. That’s when I learned that the Tiananmen Square self-immolation was a hoax, that Falun Dafa has already spread to over 100 countries around the world, and that the CCP has been harvesting organs from practitioners for huge profits.
I finally realized that I had been deceived by the CCP with its many lies for the last 13 years! My heart sank, and I regretted that I didn’t stand firm in my belief under the pressure. Immediately, I told the practitioner that I would start practicing Falun Gong again. The kindhearted practitioner then gave me some Dafa’s books to read.
It seemed as though I was given a new life. My three kidney stones miraculously vanished. My severe headaches dissipated. The five or six tumors that were in my cervix were gone. My stomach problems disappeared. The age spots on my hands receded. My wrinkled, pale and freckled face smoothed out and has a rosy complexion.
I am approaching 60, but people often think I’m 40 something. Before, when I was in my early 40’s, people thought I was way past 60. Friends that I hadn’t seen for a long time were amazed when they saw me. One of them asked, “What magic potion have you taken that makes you look so young all of a sudden?!”
Many of friends saw my radiance and started to practice.
Spreading the Fa Out of Concern for Others' Suffering
I began to think about the people that I had helped with my healing techniques. I wanted to let them know that Falun Gong is the only true saving power that can protect them from illnesses.
My son and daughter-in-law both work, so I offered to take my grandson to kindergarten and pick him up after school. It takes me more than two hours round trip everyday. In between doing housework and preparing meals, I’ll find time to visit those sick people. Sometimes they’ll come to my house.
I’ve visited many families this past year. I explain that Falun Gong teaches people to be good, that practitioners do not seek fame or profit but only virtue. I also tell them to quit the CCP to have a good future.
Those who understand believe that my motive is for their benefit, and not for any personal gain. They gladly accept the truth clarification materials, and almost all of them agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
1. Mother and Child Blessed by Dafa
Yumei is over 40 years old. She owns a shop in town. Her legs have been swollen for some time. They are so bad that she can’t even put on regular shoes. After a day of standing in the shop, her swollen legs get worse. Years of hospital treatments and my old healing methods hadn’t helped.
I went to visit Yumei at her shop at the end of last year. I clarified the facts to her and told her about the changes I’ve experienced after I started practicing Falun Gong. When I asked if she'd like to quit the CCP, she immediately agreed. I told her to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Zhen-Shan-Ren is good” to bring her good health.
Half a year later, I passed by Yumei's shop. She greeted me with a big smile and said, “I’m well!” I didn’t understand and asked, “What do you mean?” She patted her legs and answered, “These are well! And it only took three to four days! I can now stand for an entire day and my legs don’t swell up. I can also put on regular shoes. It’s amazing! Absolutely wonderful!”
Yumei also told me that she recites, “Falun Dafa is good, Zhen-Shan-Ren is good” every day. She asked me if I could quit the Party for her children, and promised me that she would remind them to say, “Falun Dafa is good, Zhen-Shan-Ren is good” often. I went back to see her to deliver a copy of Zhuan Falun forher to read.
About a year later, Yumei’s son returned home to celebrate the New Year with his mother. She waited all night but her son didn’t show up. When he finally did at around 1 a.m., he looked stunned and started sobbing.
He told his mother how he had been involved in an accident and that he almost didn’t make it home, had it not been for the protection of Dafa’s Master. He said that everybody involved in the accident had been taken to the hospital. The driver’s legs were badly hurt and one of the passengers had three broken ribs. He was the only one who was uninjured.
Yumei told everyone she met about her son's miraculous escape and told them that Falun Dafa is great!
2. A Doctor’s Gratitude Toward Dafa
Dr. Wang has suffered from back pain for more than a dozen years. One day, we met and I told her how I had recovered from all my illnesses because I started practicing Falun Gong. I told her that if she wanted to get well, she should recite “Falun Dafa is good, Zhen-Shan-Ren is good.”
Her eyes widened, and questioned, “Is it really that amazing?!” She was full of doubt and had so many questions. By the time I had answered all of them she was finally convinced, and even agreed to quit the Party. I gave her a copy of Zhuan Falun.
A week later, she told me with great excitement: “Falun Gong is truly amazing! I started reading the book and now my back pain is gone!”
3. No More Yelling to Be Heard
Lao Dajie is more than 60 years old, and has been deaf for over 20 years. People needed to yell into her ears to be heard. She came looking for me with the intention of having me check her out. She thought that I was still using healing techniques and didn’t know that I had started practicing Falun Gong. I clarified the facts to her and told her to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Zhen-Shan-Ren is good.” She left happy.
A little over a month later, Lao Dajie showed up again. In great excitement she knelt in front of Master’s picture that was hanging on my wall and recited “Falun Dafa is good, Zhen-Shan-Ren is good.” Then she said, “Thank you Master for saving me!”
When I asked her if she could hear now, she answered: “I recite these words every day. I can hear everything now. I also want to live my life following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.”
4. To Survive and Be Alive is Truly a Miracle
Xiao Gang is my daughter-in-law's younger brother. He works in a boiler factory. Before the New Year, he was caught in a boiler explosion. He had 98 percent burns, and his doctor said that they didn't have much hope of him surviving.
One day, I dreamed that Xiao Gang was calling out to me to help him. I immediately woke up. It was half past midnight. I hurried to put on some clothes and went to the hospital. En route, I pleaded with Master in my heart to strengthen me and save Xiao Gang. When I arrived at the hospital, I told my daughter-in-law about the dream. I told her that only Dafa could save her brother. I also told her that she should help her brother to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Zhen-Shan-Ren is good.”
Xiao Gang was in complete isolation in the intensive care unit and nobody was allowed entrance to his room.
My daughter-in-law sought out the doctor and talked to him for a long time. I also pleaded with Master in my heart. Finally, the doctor gave my daughter-in-law special dispensation to go in.
Xiao Gang slowly regained consciousness and started reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Zhen-Shen-Ren is good.” I told his mother and the whole family to join in reciting the words.
A miracle happened! Xiao Gang’s condition improved every day. Even the doctor proclaimed: “You’ve been burned to such an extent. It’ll be a true miracle if you survive this and live!”
Xiao Gang has now been moved to the general ward. The skin all over his body is slowly starting to grow back. He has been in the hospital for over three months. The doctor says he should be able to return home to recuperate soon.
