(Minghui.org) I was very sick before I began practicing Falun Dafa. Whenever I had any money I went to doctors. I suffered a lot, especially from stomach problems. I couldn’t eat garlic or bitter melon. Sometimes the pain was so bad that I couldn’t sleep. I prayed to Buddhas in temples, but my health didn’t get better. I thought about committing suicide. I often wondered, “Why is my life so miserable?” I thought about becoming a monk in a temple.

In 1996, I was fortunate to hear about Falun Dafa. I hadn’t learned all the exercise movements, but three days after I began practicing all my illnesses disappeared. I could eat and sleep. Before I began practicing, I had to wear a straw hat when I went outside to wash clothes in the morning and I didn’t dare to get into water. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I wasn’t afraid of anything. Master said,

“When you’re riding your bike it feels like somebody is giving you a push, and you don’t get tired no matter how many stairs you climb. I’ll guarantee it.” (Lecture Eight, Zhuan Falun)

I felt exactly the way Master described, and I couldn’t describe my feelings at that time. My family and friends all saw the changes in me, said that Falun Dafa is good and encouraged me to continue practicing.

Master asks us to cultivate according to the standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I gave up gambling and returned everything I found on the ground, including money, to the owners regardless of the amount. Once, I was scolded harshly by a villager. I remembered that I’m a practitioner and Master taught us, “You practitioners don’t even hit back when you’re attacked, or talk back when people insult you.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun), so I just laughed it off. When he saw that I didn’t get angry, he said that I had become stupid after practicing Falun Dafa.

Once, my right foot felt sore and weak and I couldn’t work. My first thought was: “It’s okay, Master is helping me to eliminate karma and is cleansing my body.” The next morning, when I was practicing the sitting meditation at the practice site, I felt the Falun whirring under my foot for a few seconds, and then my foot was fine. Once while I was practicing the third exercise (Penetrating the Cosmic Extremes), I couldn’t lift my arm, which is what people call periarthritis of the shoulder. Master sent out the Falun to adjust my body, and I was fine. It was amazing.

When my father-in-law was alive, he injured his lower back and couldn’t move. My husband asked me what to do. I said, “Take all 500 yuan from selling the pigs, hire a car and take the old man to the hospital for a checkup. Ordinary people need to see a doctor when they are sick.”

My husband thought, “Our family needs to make a living, and our two children are in school. Spend all the money?” But he didn’t say anything to me. He took the money to pay for my father-in-law’s medical treatment. After practicing cultivation, I no longer competed for personal interest. I also didn’t argue over the division of my in-law’s property, including the money from the land acquisition compensation. We respected their decision about the property and we took care of them until they passed away.

The other villagers said, “Anyone else would have gone to court to fight for their share. You received nothing but still helped pay most of the cost to take care of your elderly relatives.” Our neighbor asked us to give him the area within our fence, I agreed without hesitation. When the other villagers heard about it they said, “Why are you so stupid?” If I didn’t practice Falun Dafa I wouldn’t have agreed to this. Thank you Master for teaching me to be a good person.

I firmly believe in Master and Dafa, try to do the three things well, assist Master in Fa-rectification, and go home with Master!

Thank you Master!
