(Minghui.org) Many people have experienced amazing health improvements after saying “Falun Dafa is good.” I would like to share something that I witnessed four years ago.
A practitioner was helping one of her acquaintances look for a caretaker for her paralyzed mother-in-law. It just so happened that I was looking for a job at the time.
We went to the mother-in-law's home, and I saw her lying in bed. She needed help with everything, including eating, bathing, dressing, and using the restroom.
The father-in-law, who had been an orthopedic surgeon, along with an older woman, were taking care of her. I asked him why he needed another caregiver. He said, “At first we could manage it, but doing this for so long wore me down. Now my sciatic nerve aches so much that I even have difficulty walking.”
I tried to move the mother-in-law, but I couldn't. The father-in-law looked depressed and worried.
I then told them what had happened to me after I started practicing Falun Dafa. “I used to have many health problems, including stomachaches, female problems, migraines, atrophic arthritis, and sciatic nerve pain. I tried many treatments and special prescriptions, and visited famous physicians, but all in vain. I was subsequently paralyzed for a period of time.”
Curious, the father-in-law asked me how I had eventually recovered. I told him, “All those problems disappeared after I began practicing Falun Dafa.”
The retired orthopedic surgeon found it unbelievable that health issues, that a hospital couldn’t resolve, would respond to practicing Falun Dafa.
I shared my own understandings, saying, “You know that substance and spirit are one. Falun Dafa is a Buddha school cultivation of both mind and body. It teaches people to be good and to cultivate the heart. A Dafa practitioner has to be good to everyone. Add to that the five exercises.
“In the first exercise, for instance, stretching and relaxing the body can unblock areas where energy is congested, and stimulate the energy in the body and under the skin so that it circulates vigorously.” He got it right away, “That's right! It's very scientific!”
He then raised questions about the staged self-immolation on Tiananmen Square. I explained it in detail, and helped him see the discrepancies that indicated the event was staged.
Before we left, the other practitioner gave him a Falun Dafa amulet. He took it and read out loud what was written on it, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” We told him it was all right to say it silently, in his heart. He said, “Why not read it out loud?! This is really great!”
A week later, we returned to see how they were doing. They not only didn't hire a new caregiver, they stopped using the old one, because the old man was now able to take care of his wife himself.
I asked him, “Are you OK? Don’t you need someone to help you?” He replied, “Surely I can make it by myself now! I can do everything on my own. Thanks to my sincerely saying 'Falun Dafa is good,' my sciatic nerve stopped aching. I no longer need a helper, and saved 2,000 yuan.”
