(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. Before that, I was plagued by many illnesses in my 40s, including early-stage rectum cancer. I was physically and mentally exhausted. To seek better health, I took up Dafa cultivation.
After cultivating, I followed Falun Dafa’s Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance requirements for myself and strove to be a good person everywhere. Not long after I started practicing Dafa, all my illnesses were cured without medicine. It has been 25 years, and I have never been sick again. I am healthy and energetic.
My father witnessed the miraculous and extraordinary power of Falun Dafa through me. He admired Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and deeply believed in Dafa and its founder, Master Li. Although he did not practice Dafa, Dafa’s principles are firmly rooted in his heart.
My father is 101 years old this year. He is clear-headed and has sharp vision and hearing. He is physically and mentally healthy, and can take care of himself. His children and grandchildren are filial, and he spends his later years happily. He devoutly recites the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day, as well as thanking Master for blessing him.
In the past two decades, my father has been protected by Master Li, and he has been saved from danger several times. Today, I will share the extraordinary manifestation of Falun Dafa on my father.
My father was born in turbulent times and lived through various political movements launched by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). His life was very difficult. After raising four children, my father was overworked, malnourished, and sick. He suffered from severe lumbar spondylosis, arthritis, and stomach problems. At the age of about fifty, my father lost his ability to work.
When I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, my father was already suffering from many illnesses, especially heart disease. His heart was beating more than 600 times per minute, and he was diagnosed with rapid atrial fibrillation.
My father had difficulty moving, was very tired, and his life was constantly in danger. Medications were unable to control his symptoms, and in emergencies, while electrical resuscitation and surgery were available, they were very expensive but not curative. For our family, it was not financially possible at all, so he painfully suffered.
When my father saw that I was miraculously cured of many diseases after practicing Dafa, and that I was physically and mentally healthy, morally upright, and changed enormously as a person, he also devoted himself to reading the precious book Zhuan Falun. My father was illiterate, knowing a very limited number of simple words. For the words he did not know, he turned to others to learn, and in this way, he read Zhuan Falun word by word.
While my father was reading Zhuan Falun, he experienced pain in his joints, back, and other parts of his body, and he said, “This book is so powerful! When I read the book, my body hurts here and there.”
I said, “This is a great thing! When you read the Dafa book, Master is taking care of you, and it is Master who is cleansing your body and pushing the diseases out of your body. You have a great destiny with Master!”
My father believed in Master and Dafa and wore the Dafa amulet all the time, and chanted “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day. Before he finished reading the book Zhuan Falun and learning the exercises, all of his illnesses disappeared without him realizing it.
In particular, that atrial fibrillation was cured. My father’s heart beats like a healthy person, and he doesn’t get tired from walking or doing things anymore. Without any medication or other treatment, he was completely cured! Now my father doesn’t even catch a cold or flu.
Below are three stories about his three falls. With Master’s protection, he was unscathed.
My father was 89 in 2010. While living with my brother during the summer, one day he was home alone and fell hard in the bathroom after taking a shower. He had a bump on the head and that was all, he did not tell us.
Several months later, he moved in with me and my wife. One day he suddenly felt confused and walked a little off-balance. I asked him what happened. He said he had fallen and hurt his head at my brother’s house over the summer. We immediately took him to the hospital for a CT scan.
The test showed fluid in the meningeal cavity. The doctor asked if he had fallen before and he said he did in the summer. The doctor was stunned and wondered why it took six months for the symptoms to show up. It was recommended that my father undergo an MRI for further examination.
The test results were that blood vessels in the brain were broken, and blood had accumulated in the meningeal cavity. The doctor said, “Now the only way is to do surgery to connect the two broken blood vessels, and then drain out the blood in the meningeal cavity. There is no other way.” But due to my father’s age, the risk of the surgery was high, so the neurosurgeon refused to operate on him.
Later, my sister-in-law approached the chief specialist of brain surgery who was well connected with the city hospital. He repeatedly looked at the MRI film, observed the current state of my father’s body, and made related examinations. He said to us, “There are two broken blood vessels in the brain and so much blood accumulated in the meningeal cavity. Six months have passed, and he is still in such a good condition! From the medical point of view, it is hard to explain.”
He, of course, did not know that my father is protected by Dafa's Master.
Later, the chief specialist arranged for a skilled surgeon to operate on my father. When he went into the operating room, I told my father to recite the auspicious phrases and ask Master to protect him. The operation went well and was successful.
My father was discharged from the hospital in ten days. The doctors and other patients all exclaimed: “What a miracle that he recovered from such a major surgery so fast at such old age!”
My father was 100 in 2021. On November 20, 2021, on his way back home after a walk, he fell on the stairs. He hit the floor and had a gash on the forehead. The skin at the nose bone was peeled and also bleeding. The neighbor helped my father up and notified me immediately.
I told my father to recite the auspicious phrases immediately and cleaned his wound. My father was calm and not in distress. Several days later, his wound healed. Many people in our subdivision were impressed by his quick recovery! Just last month, one of his friends in his 80s fell and passed away shortly afterwards.
On December 1, 2021, my father suddenly had a headache. We immediately took him to the hospital for a head CT. The medical report showed hematoma in the posterior horn of the bilateral ventricles and patchy brain damage around the right ventricle.
The doctor said: “Other cases like this, we can offer surgery but that comes with great risk; you are 100, we will not dare to do such a surgery on you. Just go home for observation.”
My father did not pay much attention to this. He continued reciting the phrases. No other abnormality was noted.
Over the years, the CCP’s police have repeatedly harassed and arrested me for upholding my faith in Falun Dafa. My family was under great pressure. Having experienced countless political campaigns by the CCP in the past, my father couldn’t bear to look back and was terrified.
On December 12, 2021, my father was chanting the auspicious phrases at home, and my wife heard him and stopped him, saying, “Dad, if you chant so loudly, the police will know about it and will come to the house and arrest your son!” My father was scared. He did not want me arrested again. He stopped chanting and took down the Dafa amulet from his neck.
When I returned home at noon, he quietly asked me: “Where should I put this amulet? Hide it or throw it away?” I was shocked and asked why would he say something like that. He told me what my wife told him.
I comforted my father and said, “Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa, and it is here to save people! Dad, the fact that you have lived to such an old age in good health is because the Master of Dafa has saved you and extended your life. How can you say that you won’t recite the phrases or wear the amulet anymore? What are you afraid of?” He bowed his head and choked up and said, “I'm afraid you will be arrested. How evil the Chinese Communist Party is!”
At lunchtime, my father ate as usual; but in the afternoon, he felt very uncomfortable in his abdomen; in the evening, he could not eat. Afterward, he went to the bathroom and vomited. Later, he couldn’t move or sit still. He lay down on the bed and continued vomiting. He was gasping for air, his speech was slurred, and his limbs were twitching.
I put the amulet back on his neck and asked him to recite “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He nodded his head.
At that moment, I saw my father lying in bed, panting, and his hands kept touching things (a manifestation before death). I told my father to hurry up and recite the phrases and ask Master to save him.
He recited quietly and asked for Master’s forgiveness. He fell into a peaceful sleep around 2 a.m. My father “fell” because of his fear and Master saved him once again!
My father recovered the next day, except for a hoarse voice due to the vomit.
Now after my father gets up and washes up every day, the first thing he will do is to recite the auspicious phrases. Then he carries on his daily walk and enjoys his carefree life.
