(Minghui.org) A significant day for me is May 12, 2011, as this is the day Master rescued me from the brink of death. He allowed me to reunite with fellow practitioners and resume my true cultivation of Falun Dafa. 

I am eternally grateful for Master’s profound guidance and the selfless assistance provided by my fellow practitioners.

My first encounter with the remarkable benefits of Falun Dafa occurred in 1998 when I was plagued by back pain. Intrigued by the healing effects attributed to this practice, I decided to do the exercises held at a nearby park. 

However, at that time, I had yet to grasp the true essence of studying the Fa and understanding the principles of cultivation. Consequently, after a year of practicing Dafa on and off, my back pain subsided, leading me to stop the practice as I had reached my goal.

Later, I suffered from depression during menopause. The condition worsened in 2011 and I was not able to work. 

I was underweight, my face pale, my eyes were dull, and I lost interest in living. One day, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, “It is a sin if one commits suicide.”

At this moment, I remembered Master Li, and knelt in front of the window with tears in my eyes. I looked up at the sky and said to Master, “Master, please forgive this disciple who doesn’t live up to your standard. I want to cultivate Dafa; I want to return to your side. Please help me find Dafa disciples.”

The following morning, I went downstairs and happened to run into a fellow practitioner whom I had previously known but had not interacted with. After learning about my situation, she invited me to her home, where she and her husband (a Dafa practitioner too) helped me to send forth righteous thoughts and do the exercises. 

They told me I could go to their house for Fa study every day. From that point forward, I went to their home to study the Fa every day. I also did the exercises at home. 

Through Fa study, I understand that Dafa is cultivation with the purpose of returning to one’s origin and improving xinxing is the key. I then focused on xinxing improvement and letting go of human attachments. 

My mood steadily improved, and the once-lingering symptoms of depression gradually dissipated, until I fully recovered. Three months later, I returned to work, radiating a newfound vitality and wellness. 

My colleagues, astonished by the transformation they witnessed, couldn’t help but inquire about the remedy that alleviated my depression. 

I then shared with them the truth: I had been practicing Falun Dafa, and it was Dafa’s Master who had rescued me and granted me a second chance at life. 

I also reassured them that the negative portrayals of Dafa they had seen on television were far from the truth. 

At work, I hold myself to a high standard and consider others first. When the economy was in a downturn, I gave up several new product development bonuses and salary increases. 

Witnessing my changes after practicing Dafa, my colleagues began to agree with Dafa, and many of them quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. The factory manager and his family all quit the CCP and sincerely began to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

Witnessing my changes, my brothers and sisters began to agree with Dafa and each of them quit the CCP organizations. They sincerely recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

Over the course of 12 years, under the compassionate care of Master and the help of fellow practitioners, I broke through barriers time and time again with righteous thoughts, and cultivated to get rid of human attachments. 

Now I happily walk on the path of validating the Fa and saving sentient beings.
