(Minghui.org) “Slowly, slowly,” my neighbor said, as she helped me open the taxi door. I could not climb into the car, so she lifted me up and put me into the seat. She then got in to help me sit up, but I flopped onto her like a rag doll.
I had severe rheumatoid arthritis, suffered back pain, and was bedridden. My illnesses were beyond cure. My husband used all of his earnings on my medication, and he had to take care of our daughter himself. Moreover, he had to take care of his severely ill wife.
My 7-year-old daughter had to walk to and from school by herself each day because none of us could take her. The school was one kilometer away from our home, and she had to cross four major roads to get there. We lived our lives filled with fear and trepidation, and I was always anxious and depressed. I imagined that if I died, even a stepmother would be able to take better care of my daughter and family.
When our neighbor saw my pathetic state of health, she hired a taxi and took me to some well-known doctors for treatment. Nothing brought relief. I was beyond recovery and approaching the end of my life. One of my cousins had passed away from rheumatoid arthritis before she turned 40. I felt that I should die so I would no longer burden my husband and daughter.
Restored Health
My neighbor practiced Falun Gong and introduced it to me. She told me that it is a great high-level practice of the Buddha school, and that people practice Falun Gong in over 100 countries around the world.
“There are 100 million people practicing Falun Gong, and a huge number have recovered from minor to serious illnesses,” she said. “This cultivation practice is welcomed everywhere in the world, except in China where Jiang Zemin objected. He staged the 'Tiananmen self-immolation' incident and instigated people to hate Falun Gong.”
She also spoke of the health benefits. “If you practice Falun Gong, you will regain your health. My elder sister had a uterine tumor, which disappeared after she started to practice Falun Gong.”
A Heavenly Book
After I had understood Falun Gong and the persecution, my family of three quit the Chinese Communist Party and its youth organizations.
My neighbor gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Gong. After reading it once, I felt that this was truly a heavenly book. It teaches people to be good, and how doing bad things would cause one to accumulate karma.
I learned that karma is the cause of illness. As soon as I realized this truth, I wanted to practice Falun Gong and be a good person even more. After I held this thought, my body regained its strength, and my back no longer hurt. When I walked, my body felt incredibly light. I had never felt so comfortable.
Full of Gratitude
I want to thank Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, for saving me. I changed from being bedridden to an independent woman who can look after her husband and daughter. My body is full of energy—I can keep our home clean and tidy, and we can even dress up and go out for evening walks as a family. I no longer have to pop handfuls of pills, and the money we have saved on medication can be spent on the things we need and enjoy. We are very blessed and happy, and we have truly benefited from Falun Gong.
Master said,
“Haven’t I said that with one person practicing, the whole family benefits?” (“Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia”)
