New Practitioner in India: Life Changes for the Better After Cultivating in Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa is an advanced cultivation practice of mind and body. It improves mental and physical well-being through meditation and exercises. Dafa is what I had been looking for, so I got in touch with the person in charge of a local exercise site.

First I began reading Zhuan Falun, the main book of Dafa, and then Falun Gong, the introductory book of Dafa. I found instructions for the Dafa exercises online and did them frequently. My body underwent a large transformation after a few months. I felt mentally at ease and noticed a glimmer of optimism in my tumultuous life.

Identifying and Suffering from Illness Karma

Before beginning my cultivation in Dafa, I suffered from IBS D (irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea-predominant) for almost eight years. I was underweight, frail, and lean. I focused on fortifying my mind and soul after my body began to fail. I started searching for a “guru” for Kundalini Awakening (a psychophysical episode that arises in people who have a prolonged association with religious or spiritual practices, such as meditation, yoga, and so on).

I reasoned that once I had all of my chakras (energy points of the body) open, there would be no disease left in my body. And I reasoned that perhaps this was my only chance to regain my health. I discovered Falun Dafa after I did an extensive study to find a guru who would accept me as a disciple.

I vividly recall the difficult times in my life when I suffered from IBS D. Due to the fragility of my intestines, I was unable to adequately digest meals, including meat and milk. I always consumed meals in precisely calculated amounts. Numerous dietary limitations were placed on me. My physique lacked something. I took a tray full of pills every day. I also took allopathic pills in addition to my ayurvedic medications. Even after taking medication, I had to use the restroom frequently.

I could not find a respite from this distressing life even after trying various treatments, including acupuncture and colon cleaning. My social confidence had completely vanished.

Just as I was beginning to feel a little better, I experienced a serious gynecological diagnosis in 2019. Every month, I used to experience pain and anguish. My doctor suggested that I have a hysterectomy. I didn’t agree. Almost every month, I spent a few days in bed. As I grew weaker, my fear grew. What could be done, my family wondered?

The second wave of COVID had arrived in India. The number of cases started rising daily. My family warned me against leaving the house because I was already sick and vulnerable to infection. Even going out to meet another doctor was impossible for me.

Master, please show me the path, I pleaded, and I started reading the different lectures published by Master. Every chance I got, I picked up another Dafa book. I spent five to eight hours a day studying the Fa. I began performing the exercises whenever I could. I began to see life’s essential purpose. Why do we endure such hardship? Why do we become ill? Why do we encounter challenges in life? The key is karma! I realized that this was my karma and that I had to accept it.

The key to cultivation was really to turn inward and let go of attachments. My fear of being operated on started to fade away, and I was prepared to face my fate. I saw fear as the main impediment to cultivation. Without fear, good thoughts have immense power and can save many sentient beings. And so I released my hold on fear and surrendered to Master completely. As I let go of the attachments I had, my body got better with time. It was no longer necessary to go through a hysterectomy.

I decided to have a small surgery instead in January 2022 to resolve the situation. A catheter had to be inserted into my body through a vein in my wrist. The surgery lasted about two hours and was performed under local anesthesia. While conscious, I mentally recited the Fa throughout the surgery. My wrist was bandaged, and I wasn’t supposed to move my hand for a few days. But when the doctor visited the following morning to replace the bandage and check on the wound’s progress, there was nothing there. No blood, no scar, and no cut! The hand appeared to have undergone no surgery since it was so clean!

The doctor gasped audibly and wondered how my hand had recovered so quickly. I couldn’t help but smile because I knew our kind Master had just saved me! I was released from the hospital the following day and quickly recovered following the operation. Within a few days, my IBS symptoms disappeared, and my digestion got better. I went from being weak and unwell to a strong and robust woman. Falun Dafa helped me get rid of all impediments in my body.

I enlightened to the principle that, as long as there is Fa in one’s mind, it is indeed what Master says: “When disciples have ample righteous thought, Master has the power to turn the tide!” (“Master Disciple Bond,” Hong Yin II)

I was new to cultivation, and occasionally my faith would falter. Yet, I firmly believed that Master was keeping an eye on me at all times and that he was guarding me. I began to do the three things. My faith in Master deepened. My ideas shifted. I changed from a woman who was indignant and irritated to one who was at peace with herself. I experienced the unburdening of my body as I meditated.

Everything I have shared is what I have enlightened to at my level. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.

Thank you, Master.
