(Minghui.org) I wish to share some miracles, which occurred in our remote village since Falun Dafa was spread here in 1997.

My Dying Father Stood Up by Himself

My 80-year-old father suffered cerebral hemorrhage in 1997 and was unable to take care of himself. In October of that year, a practitioner told me about Falun Dafa and encouraged me to try the practice. He played the Falun Dafa lecture series on DVD, one each night at our home. I placed my father in a chair to watch the videos with us and at least 10 other villagers.

In lecture seven, Master talked about abstaining from smoking. Seven or eight of us who smoked quit the next day. Among us, I had the worst habit, smoking at least five packs a day. I have not even thought of smoking since I quit. One villager gave into temptation when another person offered a cigarette, but he soon got a headache and started to vomit. He felt much better once he threw away the cigarette.

On the ninth night, my father suddenly stood up by himself after we finished the ninth lecture. We were very happy and excited. He was able to walk around with my help. He steadily improved and soon could walk normally.

This miracle caused a big stir in our village. We set up a group-exercise site at my house, and more than 10 villagers attended regularly.

My Wife Reborn Through Falun Dafa

My wife suffered a serious heart disease: her heart would stop beating for three or five seconds, and even up to seven or eight seconds sometimes. She had lost hope and became pessimistic about her future.

Her symptoms disappeared completely in about 30 days after she started to practice Falun Dafa. Since then, she has been able to work hard in the house or outside. Her father, a retired elementary school head, had not believed that people could recover from diseases simply through practicing Falun Dafa. After witnessing this miracle, he changed his mind and started to study Zhuan Falun.

Today my wife is close to 70 years old, but she glows with energy every day.

Stories About “Xiao Wa”

Xiao Wa (an alias), a young man about 27 or 28 years old, suffered from an incurable disease called anaphylactoid purpura in 1997. It caused rashes, cramping and joint pain. He always lounged away his time around our practice site.

An elderly lady encouraged him to practice Falun Dafa with us. At first, he said he did not believe in the Fa. Later he was embarrassed that he had rejected her invitation and joined us.

One time he felt a sharp pain in the lower back. He said it felt like it had almost killed him. We read a part of the Fa together, again and again:

“I can say this, and I hope you’ll make an effort to come, no matter how crummy you feel because of that 'sickness.' A chance to obtain the Law is hard to come by. When you feel worse, it means that, 'when something reaches the extreme it reverses,' and your whole body will be purified. It has to be completely purified. The root of your health problem has been plucked out now, and only that little bit of black qi is left, coming out on its own, so that you have a little hardship and go through some difficulty. If you didn’t bear anything it really wouldn’t work.” (The Second Talk in Zhuan Falun, 2003 translation)

Suddenly, the pain went away, and he felt much better. We were moved to tears, as we knew our Master had helped him pass a test of life and death.

He soon recovered from his diseases. We once talked about his story, and he said in tears, “Master gave me a second life. Master also saved my whole family. Master, we cannot repay your supreme grace!”

One day in 1999, a man and his son visited Xiao Wa because his son, a high school student, was suspended from school because of the same disease. After the son started to practice Falun Dafa, like Xiao Wa, he also recovered from the disease in approximately 30 days and went back to school.

Over One Hundred Villagers Became Practitioners

After witnessing so many miracles, even stubborn people were convinced, and more and more villagers started to join us. By 1999, over 100 of our 900 villagers had started practicing Falun Dafa. Although most of us had little education, we can understand the Fa teachings, which are written in plain language. As practitioners, we improve our xinxing and become better people.

Thus, good people and good deeds can be found everywhere in our small village .
