(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa less than a year ago and would like to share some of my cultivation experience.
Prior to 2008, I had a prosperous business. I was earning nearly twenty thousand yuan a day. Money came easily for me. I picked up some bad habits, however, such as using illegal drugs and gambling.
Online gambling had put me in deep debt by 2008. I was losing between eight and forty thousand yuan a day. My family was unaware of this. My debt and the slow economy made me grumpy. I often lost my temper with my wife and child.
From 2008 to 2020, I worked at a factory, drove a taxi, and sold gasoline. I found all these jobs unsatisfying.
I noticed a lump on my neck in February 2020. The diagnosis was late-stage sinus cancer, which had already metastasized to my lymph nodes. I was devastated! I was only 41 years old. My elderly parents and my family needed my support. With a terminal illness and no money, I lost all hope in life.
I went through a first round of chemotherapy in April. I was nauseous, lost my appetite, and was fatigued. Then I lost my hair and my weight dropped considerably. I became depressed.
After the second round of chemotherapy in May, a relative who practiced Falun Dafa came to visit. I had heard about Falun Dafa before, and she told me I should give it a try. With some encouragement from family members, I began to study the Dafa books every day.
I followed the exercise demonstration online and learned them in three days. I had the sensation of Falun (law wheel) spinning after the third day of practice. Master Li (the teacher of Falun Dafa) was cleansing my body!
I went to the hospital for the third round of chemotherapy. However, my blood test indicated that I was cancer-free. The doctor found it hard to believe.
The attending physician then gave me an injection to boost my lymphocytes as a preventive measure. The medication made me feel sick. Family members encouraged me to stop all treatments. I decided to be a genuine cultivator and left the hospital. Through cultivation, I regained my health, and my xinxing improved.
In the past, if I saw someone's bike parked in my spot, I would toss it into a nearby ditch. In my car, I often cursed at other drivers. I was confrontational and unkind to my wife and child. After I became a Dafa practitioner, I corrected my mistakes. I learned how to be a better person and I am no longer bad-tempered.
I had hearing loss due to the chemotherapy, and the doctor informed me that the loss was permanent.
Eight months into my practice of Falun Dafa, I visited an uncle of mine. He asked, “How is your practice and how is your health?”
“Dafa is good, my cancer is now gone. I am healthy, and my mood is better than ever.” I encouraged my uncle to learn Dafa too since he had difficulty swallowing because of cancer in the esophagus.
An amazing thing happened after I came home from visiting my uncle. My hearing returned! I thought it might just be temporary, but my hearing has been normal ever since.
I knew I was rewarded with good fortune because I helped my uncle. Dafa is here to save people. It brought me a new life. I am a completely different person. I used to hate the rich and looked down on the poor. That changed as I cultivated away my jealousy. My wife and child no longer suffer from my harsh words. Friends now say that I am a much more humble person.
I am grateful beyond measure to Master Li. Once a dying patient with many bad habits, I became a healthy, good person. Dafa brought harmony to my home. My wish is that more people will remember “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and have a beautiful future!
