I Became Healthy After Diligently Practicing Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) My cousin gave me Zhuan Falun, the main book of the Falun Dafa practice, and told me it was more valuable than all the gold in the world. I did not take this too seriously and thought that this spiritual practice was for wealthy people to stay fit and not for the working class.

Incident Changed My Attitude

An incident changed my view of Falun Dafa. My mother helped my family build a house and she became sick because of the hard work. I took her to the city hospital and I happened to meet my cousin at the bus station. She invited my mother to her home and promised to take care of her. I gave her 1,000 yuan and then returned home.

My mother returned home one month later and looked very healthy. She returned the 1,000 yuan and told me that my cousin’s house was a Falun Dafa practice site. While with my cousin, she listened to the Dafa lectures and practiced the Dafa exercises. Within a short time she had forgotten all about her illnesses.

I was shocked, but supported her desire to practice Falun Dafa.

Mother Lost Her Good Health After Persecution Started

My mother practiced Falun Dafa on and off. She was very healthy until July 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to suppress Falun Dafa nationwide. My mother stopped practicing Dafa because she was afraid that her children would be persecuted because of the Communist regime's implication by association policy. She was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer one year later and died within two months. I knew that my mom would still be alive were it not for the persecution of Dafa.

Without my mom’s help, my life turned harsh. I was not good at working in the field and even my husband wasn't happy with me.

Taking One's Time to Truly Cultivate

The article “Golden Buddha” with a comment by the founder of Dafa, whom practitioners call Master Li, was a life changer. I thought that I ought to cultivate in Dafa and read Zhuan Falun.

There were no practitioners in my area and it was difficult to get the new Falun Dafa materials. I nearly gave it up due to conflicts with my husband.

My family moved into a new house in 2007 and I did not think of cultivation, but sought fame and profit. I did read the Falun Dafa book, but did not really cultivate. This state lasted for several years.

My health started to deteriorate. Whenever I left my house I lost all feeling in my hand and fingers and had no circulation. Even during the hottest summer, I had to dress in very heavy clothes.

I was diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome, which is the result of reduced blood flow in response to cold or emotional stress. The doctor advised that I should stay in the hospital so they could control my illness, but there was no cure for it. It could even mean that I needed my legs amputated or I would die. The doctor gave me a five-year lifespan at the most if I left the hospital.

I was very depressed, returned home and took 92 prescription doses of Chinese herbs. But, my condition worsened and one could tell that I was ill. Even my hair turned white.

I lost hope and visited a fellow practitioner. She told me how she overcame a sickness tribulation. I realized that although I thought I practiced Dafa, I did not do so in reality, because I did not follow its principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

I decided to let go of my human attachments and began to cultivate diligently. Every day I got up at 3:40 a.m. to do the exercises. I studied the Dafa books whenever I did not work. When I did the exercises, I perspired profusely for about a month. Since then I have not experienced any more illness symptoms, including the numbness in my hands. I returned to good health.

My thanks go to Falun Dafa and especially its Master.
