Recalling My Twenty Two Years of Cultivation

(Minghui.org) I suffered a whiplash injury in a car accident when I was 20 years old. Due to a complicated situation regarding my health insurance at the time, I could not stay in the hospital for treatment. As a result, I felt drowsy at work and fell asleep as soon as I sat down.

I fell down the staircase at home at the age of 42, injuring my back and waist, resulting in a lumbar disc herniation. I sought various medical treatments, but nothing worked. My calves were stiff and my legs cramped every morning. I walked with my feet scraping against the ground.

I had a thyroid disease (Basedow’s disease) at 48, and after taking medication lost a lot of hair. But the doctor wanted to see me only when the condition got worse. At the time when the symptoms got worse, I was introduced to Falun Dafa by someone from the local women’s association.

I went to the exercise site the next day. I did not know what qigong was about and was a bit worried. But after the exercises, I decided to continue. From then on, I went to the site every day except weekends. After about a month or two, the skin on my chin became smoother.

I was also taking medication for allergies at the time. The practitioner who taught me the exercises said that I did not need medicines, so I stopped the medicine that Saturday. I felt itchy in the beginning, but the condition slowly improved. Now, the itching is completely gone.

My husband had leg problems, so I had to take on some farm work. My waist started to hurt after I squatted for an hour, so I stopped to do the first set of exercises. Amazingly, I was able to do the farm work for two hours after the exercise.

My waist was very sore when I was hoeing ditches. As the pain got worse, I practiced the first set of exercises again. After the exercise, I could do the work easily and more efficiently. The exercises were very powerful, so I have continued practicing for 22 years.

Interacting with Students

I worked as a dormitory administrator in a high school. Since Dafa is such a good practice, I decided to let more people know about it.

During the pandemic, I gave each boarding student a small lotus pendant. On the pendant was the message “Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance.” Some students hung it on their doors, and some hung it on their schoolbags.

I gave away a lot of lotus pendants, Dafa materials, and Dafa books to the students. One student asked me for a small lotus amulet. One day I heard that he had fainted during the morning meeting, so I asked him to come to my office.

I asked if he read Zhuan Falun, and he told me yes. I said, “I know you have homework to do, but if you can read Zhuan Falun for 15 minutes before doing your homework, you may finish the homework faster. It is even better if you read a little more when you have time. Just let me know if you need help.”

He later told me that he felt much better after reading Zhuan Falun. He also wrote to me when I retired, “I will study Falun Dafa well.”

My Husband’s Changes

My husband frequently complained that I was very forgetful. He seemed to find relief by complaining to me and shouting at me. I asked him to speak more kindly to me, but he would not.

A few years ago, my husband had a bone marrow infection and underwent several surgeries. The doctor told him to be prepared for dialysis and amputation. Fearing this, he started to practice Falun Dafa with me. In a follow-up examination, the attending doctor was surprised to find that the infection had stopped spreading and he was recovering. We were both amazed by Dafa’s healing power.
