(Minghui.org) Over the past 16 years of practicing Falun Dafa, I have witnessed many amazing things happen to people who believe in the goodness of Falun Dafa. I have also witnessed some who do not believe in Dafa face just the opposite.
My sister underwent an operation on her rectum 2 years ago, which resulted in urinary incontinence. She had to run to the restroom every 10 or 15 minutes.
During the 2014 Chinese New Year, she and her daughter visited me. I read two chapters of Zhuan Falun (the main book of Falun Dafa) to them. After finishing the two chapters, my sister said, “I've been here for almost 4 hours, and haven't had the urge to go to the toilet. In fact, I feel great!”
I responded, “This is what the founder of Dafa describes in Zhuan Falun—'The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities.' Plus, since I am a practitioner, I know the people around me will benefit from my cultivation. If you practice yourself, the effect will be even stronger.”
The next day, my sister called and said that she slept very well the night before and only got up two times. She hadn't slept so well in a long time, and she asked if she could have two Dafa books, one for herself and the other for her daughter. After she began practicing Dafa, her urinary incontinence disappeared, along with her vertigo and rheumatoid arthritis.
Last autumn, my sister and her husband went to the mountains to harvest wild corn. After they were done, her husband drove the ox cart, while my sister sat on top of the stack of corn. The mountain path was rocky, as well as wet and slippery from a recent downpour. As a result, while going downhill, the cart skidded and my sister was thrown a distance of about six meters. She felt some discomfort in her lower back after she got up, and the next day she could not get out of bed.
Despite my sister's protests, her son insisted on taking her to the hospital, where she underwent tests that all came back normal. From then on, her son no longer objected to Dafa, and he even withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. My sister said to me, “Dafa is wonderful and miraculous! If I had known about this earlier, I would have started practicing a lot earlier!”
My niece (my sister's daughter) wanted her daughter Fangfang to practice Falun Dafa, in the hope that it would cure Fangfang's illness. Fangfang had blood in the urine following a fever during her childhood.
Fangfang did not want to learn the practice. But her mother would not take no for an answer and forced her to read two pages of Zhuan Falun daily. Despite doing this for half-a-year, Fangfang's condition did not improve, so her mother called me to ask why. I asked, “Does Fangfang believe in Dafa?” Her mother demurred for a long time without giving a yes or no response.
“The purpose of studying the Fa is to improve one's character, and the purpose of doing the exercises is to transform one's body,” I said. “In cultivation, one must cultivate as well as practice the exercises. Has she achieved both these things?” Fangfang's mother replied, “Oh, I understand now. We'll have to leave this discussion for another time.”
Because my sister truly believed in and cultivated Dafa, she benefited from the practice. In contrast, my grandniece Fangfang did not truly cultivate Dafa, and as such she did not benefit from the practice.
My aunt called me and asked me to visit her in March 2012. When I arrived, I found her frail and emaciated. She said that she was diagnosed with lymphoma. “I invited you over today because I want to learn to practice Falun Dafa. I don't want to die yet,” she said, before breaking into tears.
This was the first time I had witnessed in anyone such a strong desire to live. My aunt could not read, so I read Zhuan Falun to her and taught her the five exercises. After three days of doing the exercises, my aunt told me that she saw many fairy maidens dancing in the sky. She also saw us walking among beautiful red flowers and green willows, and one of the willow branches touched her face.
“This is because your inborn quality is good, and you have a strong predestined relationship with the Buddha Fa,” I replied. “Moreover, since you are sincere in cultivating, you saw these amazing visions.”
I bought her an MP3 player so that she could listen to Master's lectures. She listened to the lectures and did the exercises diligently. Three weeks later, she asked me to come to her house again. This time I found that her cheeks were fair and rosy. She told me that she felt great and her body felt light. No matter how far she walked, how many stairs she climbed, or how many things she carried, she never felt tired. Moreover, her longstanding vertigo and heart problems had disappeared.
“This practice is so good. We must ask your uncle to practice too,” she said. “I've already arranged for us to meet him today while his wife is not at home. Let's go see him now.”
My uncle suffers from five different chronic illnesses. He takes so many medications that his monthly pension of 1,000 yuan is not enough to cover his medication expenses.
When we arrived, he tried to sit up but was seized by a fit of coughing. He resignedly told us about his struggle with poor health. I said, “Uncle, if you can become a practitioner, you and your family will see much brighter days.”
My aunt helped him to sit in the lotus position, while I read Zhuan Falun to him. As I read, he would interrupt. “You see,” he said, “this book talks about such good things, and it's all about teaching people to do good deeds. How can the Chinese Communist Party spread such lies about Falun Dafa without batting an eyelid?”
After over an hour of reading Zhuan Falun, he suddenly exclaimed, “Hey, I've been sitting here for over an hour, and I haven't coughed once. In fact, I feel very comfortable.” My aunt said, “Now you know why I say Falun Dafa is miraculous!”
Just then, my uncle's wife returned. When she saw us, her face darkened. My aunt immediately motioned for us to leave. As we got up to go, my uncle pulled my hand and said, “You must come every day to read Zhuan Falun to me!” I replied that I would, and we agreed on our next visit date.
Unfortunately, my uncle's wife refused to let my uncle study the Fa any further. To date, my uncle is still bedridden and reliant on an oxygen tank to breathe.
Xiaoyan is my cousin's daughter. Before sitting for her college entrance examination, Xiaoyan's marks in school were always average, and she had never scored better than 380. However, her goal was to enter university. Xiaoyan lived in her school's hostel, and often came to visit me. She believed in the goodness of Dafa, and had memorized the words “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
The morning before her college entrance examinations, Xiaoyan came to visit me. She said that her dormitory was too messy, and she asked to study in my home. “Nothing happens by coincidence,” I said. “Since you've arrived just in time, why don't you pay your respects to Master Li, the founder of Dafa? You can think about what you want to say to Master Li silently, but you must not seek or ask for personal gain.” After paying her respects, I asked her what she had thought about. She replied, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” She sat down to study for her exams but had forgotten some of her study materials, so she went back to her dormitory.
Her college entrance examination went very smoothly. The questions centered around exactly what she had studied. When her results came out, she had scored a 538, which gave her entrance to the top university in the province. Later, she went abroad to study in Japan, and she decided to make Japan her home. Last year, she gave birth to a healthy son, and her life could not be happier or more fulfilled.
Xiaoyan's unprecedented score in the college entrance examinations astonished her family. As a result, they all recognized the goodness of Dafa, and many withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. They have also memorized the two phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Daguo is my younger brother's son. With respect to my younger brother's family, I have tried to convince them many times to withdraw from the CCP. However, his family of three have stubbornly refused to do so.
Daguo had always been very intelligent, and he was accepted to the county's top high school. But shortly after starting high school, he got addicted to internet gaming and splurged heavily on girls he was attracted to. He did poorly on his college entrance exams and had no choice but to enter a private college in the province. Since graduating two years ago, he has remained unemployed.
By sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” a girl of average intelligence achieved top scores to enter a top college, and eventually made a wonderful home for herself. In contrast, a boy with outstanding test results but who refused to recognize Dafa's goodness eventually followed society's moral decline. His grades plummeted and his promising future was lost.
Today, this extraordinary Dafa is right before everyone. There are over a hundred million people worldwide practicing Dafa, and it has spread to over 100 countries. Those who come to practice it say that it is good, and those who recognize Dafa's goodness have been blessed. I hope that you, dear reader, will take the opportunity to learn more about it too!
