(Minghui.org) I was roughed up and sustained severe injuries two years ago when I tried to collect a debt. Instead of getting paid, I returned home with a broken rib, a swollen mouth, and bumps on my head. I was badly bruised and in a lot of pain.

Because I was not able to collect what was owed to us, my family was on the brink of financial ruin. At the time we were already having trouble paying for our daughter's medical treatment. All I could do was take some painkillers since we couldn't afford for me to see a doctor.

On top of my fresh injuries, I still had to deal with my chronic ailments, including migraines, spinal and gynecological problems, and arthritis. Life was miserable to say the least.

My cousin, a Falun Gong practitioner, visited me three days later. She told me about the healing power of Falun Dafa.

She said that it would do me good if I recited sincerely “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I didn't think twice and began to repeat the nine words over and over.

In just an hour, the excruciating pain went away. I was surprised and asked my cousin to show me how to do the Falun Dafa exercises. I thought I saw Buddha when she demonstrated the sitting meditation. I asked many questions and eventually understood what Falun Dafa really is.

That night I continued to repeat the nine words with my complete attention. The next day I was able to straighten my knees without much pain. My cousin came over with Falun Dafa books. I learned how to do all five exercises and started reading Zhuan Falun. I finished it in three days, and my migraine was gone. With constant study and doing the exercises, in ten days, I was as good as new and my rib didn't hurt anymore.

Gradually, my chronic illnesses disappeared and my complexion became rosy. I quit gambling and clubbing, and took better care of my family and the house. I became humble and gentle. I was able to take criticism. I stopped fighting with my family and always had a smile on my face. I no longer hated the person who still refused to pay me back.

Seeing my radical physical and character changes, my family, friends and neighbors were in disbelief. They were sincerely grateful to Teacher and Falun Dafa.
