(Minghui.org) I had the good fortune to become a Falun Dafa practitioner in 1996. At the time I suffered from all kinds of health problems, including headaches, neurasthenia, stomachaches, laryngitis, a thyroid tumor, etc.
My thyroid tumor was the worst. The doctor recommended surgery, which have might damaged my vocal cords. Reluctant to have it done, I started looking into qigong practice.
Thyroid Tumor Vanishes
One of my relatives introduced me to Falun Dafa around that time. Everything became clear to me at once, and I began to understand the true meaning of life. My hope came back when I realized people could improved their moral standard by cultivating Dafa.
In May 1997, my throat started to bother me. I started to cough and spit up pus and blood. I remembered that Master said, “...and we clean out the bodies of true practitioners” (Lecture One in Zhuan Falun), so I did not take the symptoms seriously. I coughed for about a month.
One morning, I looked at myself in a mirror and noticed the lump on my neck had disappeared. I touched the area and realized that the thyroid tumor was gone. I had practiced Falun Dafa for only a few months.
Moral Obligation and Dignity
I am a businesswoman. In my work, I interact with business owners and community leaders. Many of them have no morals, and they often deceive others and renege on their debts. I would often feel depressed and helpless when doing business with them.
After studying Dafa, I understood the true purpose of being human and the reasons we live in this world. My soul seemed to be liberated. Now that I followed the standard of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, I had to treat others kindly.
In October 2004, two friends came to my home. They were from a manufacturing factory and came on business. I invited them to stay for dinner, during which I told them about the beauty of Falun Dafa, how Dafa had spread around the world, and why Jiang Zhemin was persecuting the practice. They agreed with what I said.
However, they said, “We know Dafa is good and there is nothing wrong with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, but the standard is too high and too hard to follow.”
After dinner, they asked my husband and me to take them to a strip club. “I can't do that,” I said. “I am a Dafa practitioner, and I can't do such a disgraceful thing just to gain your business; it would harm both of us.”
I explained the harm behind lust and how ignoring moral values leads to disasters. I also told them some ancient cultivation stories about people that were rewarded for their compassionate thoughts, and how Falun Dafa can purify the mind. They listened closely, and we talked until midnight. They also wanted to learn the exercises
I taught them the sitting exercise, and they stayed the night. The next morning, they said they felt very relaxed and had decided they were going to learn the practice.
On the surface, it would appear that I lost some material interests since I did not get the business with their factory. But I knew I had done the right thing, and, in fact, did not lose anything.
Master said: “If something is yours, you will not lose it. If something is not yours, you will not have it even if you fight for it” (Lecture Seven in Zhuan Falun).
I later started to do business with a research company and our arrangement has been going well. Through this business I have let many people know the truth.
