(Minghui.org) After retiring as a teacher in 1998, I was introduced to Falun Gong. Under Master’s continued protection, I managed to overcome many sickness karma tribulations.

Before cultivating Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong), I had a 2.3 cm stone lodged in my gallbladder. I could feel its presence whenever I got up or lay down. Whenever my cholecystitis symptoms flared up, the unbearable abdominal pain would only be relieved after consuming Danshu herbal capsules. I also suffered from severe chronic coughs every morning and evening. It was normal for me to cough so badly that I would throw up, even on an empty stomach. 

Not long after I started practicing Falun Gong, I suddenly felt an invisible hand grab my gallbladder while I was studying the Fa. The severe pain caused my body to spasm involuntarily for a second. The pain immediately subsided and I knew Master had removed my gallstone. During my next hospital checkup, my doctor checked my scan and confirmed the stone had started breaking down. I had nothing more to worry about, and my stomach stopped hurting. Master also cleaned out my digestive tract and lungs, leaving my body lighter and more comfortable.

The middle of my chest used to feel abnormally chilly. I used to cover my chest in layers of insulating towels, though this was ineffective. As a result, I often suffered from a stuffed-up nose which no medication seemed to be able to relieve. After a month of practicing Falun Dafa, I was asleep when I saw Master’s Law Body standing next to me, holding a Falun while overseeing three people around me adjusting my body. When Master’s Law Body directed the rest to make the Falun bigger, a wave of heat rushed from the base of my spine to my neck, shocking me into wakefulness. I continued to feel this heat as it flowed through my body a few more times. After that, my chest stopped feeling cold.

I used to be severely allergic to penicillin. Once, another patient’s completed penicillin skin allergy test was left on the table next to me. As soon as I inhaled it, my face instantly became inflamed with a rash. I realized my allergies had vanished after practicing Dafa. One day, I was carrying my granddaughter as the nurse administered a penicillin injection to her. My daughter was surprised, “Your penicillin allergy has vanished?” I responded happily, “Yes, my body did not react at all.”

At the start of 2015, my eyesight started becoming blurry. My feet had also been burning until blisters and pus had formed, though I was in no pain at all. After my children saw my symptoms, they forcibly admitted me to the hospital. I was diagnosed with high blood sugar, and doctors prescribed hypoglycemic drugs and insulin injections. Despite 10 days of continuous treatment, my symptoms refused to improve. At their wit's end, the hospital was finally forced to discharge me.

After returning home, my second daughter enforced a diet for diabetics, forced me to take medicine and insulin injections, and forbid me from doing the Falun Dafa exercises. My weight continued to drop until even my thighs were almost just skin and bones. My daughter became seriously scared for my life. I too felt anxious about my deteriorating condition. Despite taking medication, insulin, and adjusting my diet, my health was still deteriorating. Since my situation was so bad and not improving, I figured I might as well continue cultivating Falun Dafa in my time remaining.

I stopped taking all my medications and went to live with a few fellow practitioners at their home. We studied the Fa, practiced the exercises together, and helped each other. While washing my feet one night, I accidentally rubbed off a large piece of skin from the bottom of my left heel, causing large quantities of pus to flow out. I padded the wound with a thicker piece of paper and left it alone. The wound healed within a month.

One night when I had to go to the toilet, I fell. My feet felt so numb and paralyzed I could barely move or feel them. They also hurt so bad that I was unable to sleep lying down. I could only spend the night sitting on a rattan chair. With help from fellow practitioners, I sat mornings and nights on the sofa practicing the exercises, while studying the Fa throughout the rest of the day. Fellow practitioners also supported me as I practiced standing and walking. I knew I was facing a karmic tribulation and not human sickness. In less than a month, I was able to walk around the house on my own, using a rattan chair for support. I could take showers, do laundry and go to the toilet on my own. If it were not for Dafa, recovery would have been impossible in such a short period of time.

In 2016, an area near my left ankle suddenly turned black. I knew Master was cleansing my body and did not worry about it. The color began to fade within a month or two until my entire foot returned to normal, except for the skin on my ankle bone which remained light brown.

My children saw my health improve and stopped objecting to my cultivation of Falun Dafa. My brother is a doctor who has treated many diabetic patients. On hearing about my condition, he wanted to treat me. However, on seeing my recovery was progressing well, he decided not to interfere.

My nephew works in the traffic bureau. On hearing news of my rapid recovery, he was full of praise for the amazing healing powers of Dafa. I advised him not to slander Falun Gong and to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). My nephew agreed. My children and other relatives also became convinced of the goodness of Dafa and agreed to quit the CCP.

Since leaving the hospital in 2015, I have not been back even once, nor have I been taking any medication or nutritional supplements. Despite being almost 80 years old, my health has been improving because of my cultivation. Despite having accumulated much karma from my past lives, Master and Dafa protected and saved my life. To repay Master, I will cultivate well according to the path he arranged.
