(Minghui.org) I am an 80-year-old retired woman. I was once in despair, suffering with a number of incurable illnesses. My life completely changed after I began practicing Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong), an ancient Chinese spiritual discipline. Not only did all my illnesses disappear, but my soul was also uplifted and renewed.
I am profoundly grateful to Master Li for the Fa and for saving people during this critical time when morality is declining and traditional values are being discarded.
Experiencing the Extraordinary Power of Falun Dafa
For many years, I suffered with chronic ailments, including anemia, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision and farsightedness, a shoulder dislocation from an old injury, and ligament laxity. I sought help at numerous large hospitals, but none could offer a cure. I lost hope, and I longed to be reborn anew.
When I went to visit my sister in 1998, she told me that many people were practicing Falun Gong, an ancient Chinese spiritual practice that involves meditation, gentle exercises, and a moral philosophy based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. She said this practice could cure illnesses without medicine, but that practitioners had to refrain from smoking and drinking.
Intrigued by its healing effects, I decided to give it a try. To my astonishment, I immediately quit smoking, even though I had been a heavy smoker. I haven’t smoked a single cigarette since.
I did the exercises at home for the first time on May 24, 1998. While practicing the fourth exercise, I felt something small suddenly land on my left shoulder and cling tightly before quickly disappearing. I realized that Master had removed something harmful from my body. My body felt incomparably light and free. At that time I hadn’t even begun to study the teachings!
Soon after, I joined a nearby group practice site and attended every day, rain or shine. I could feel Master cleansing my body, especially around my shoulders. Before long, Master opened my third eye. I saw a large eye looking directly at me, followed by a brilliant Falun spinning rapidly. I even saw countless small eyes rotating within a large oval shape between my eyebrows and the bridge of my nose.
During meditation, I saw three round, shiny faces smiling as they floated past my eyes. I thought, “Aren’t they the Buddha, the Tao, and the Divine?” The experience was deeply comforting, just as Master describes in Zhuan Falun:
“you should expect to experience a very pleasant sensation as you sit there, much like sitting inside an eggshell would be, where you’re aware that you are practicing but feel as if you can’t move a muscle.”
Within three months, I’d transformed from a pale, frail woman into someone with soft, radiant skin and renewed strength. I gained 20 pounds, all my illnesses disappeared, and I felt energetic every day. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Master and to Dafa.
Master also unlocked my ability of knowing fate as my spiritual level rose. I began to perceive scenes invisible to ordinary people, and my eyesight improved—I no longer needed glasses. These experiences deepened my determination to cultivate diligently.
Master’s Compassionate Encouragement
In 2004, my family was required to relocate, but the local relocation office repeatedly delayed processing our paperwork. Someone privately hinted that I should bribe the office leader. At that time, I was attached to personal interest and failed to act according to the Fa, so I offered the bribe.
Two days later, while biking home after buying light bulbs, I fell onto an iron manhole cover. The pain was unbearable, and I couldn’t stand up even with others’ help. My righteous thoughts were weak then, and I didn’t recall what I’d learned from Dafa. After I sat there for a while, I hired a tricycle to take me and my bike home. My legs were twisted, and my right knee was immobile and too painful to touch. I couldn’t turn over in bed.
Around midnight, just as I was dozing off, I suddenly felt a tremendous pulling force on my thigh, followed by a clear crack. There was no pain—and immediately afterward, I could move my legs easily. The next morning, I was able to walk again.
I knew it was Master who had healed me. I looked inward and realized that I’d been preoccupied with home renovations and had neglected Fa study. Because my mindset was like that of an everyday person, I had taken a hard fall. I awakened and reminded myself never again to walk such an ordinary path.
While meditating one morning in 2021, Master encouraged me by allowing me to see myself in another dimension—seated in meditation, wearing a jade crown and splendid robes.
In 2015 when I was meditating, I saw my divine body: jet-black hair, bright eyes, and a golden robe. I appeared as a child of about two years old, sitting on a great lotus surface as someone held me tenderly. On another occasion, I felt Master guiding me to soar to great heights. Each of these visions was Master’s compassionate encouragement, filling my heart with gratitude.
Other practitioners and I often went once a week to a site near a detention center to send forth righteous thoughts for those were were illegally detained. On July 5, 2016, we were delighted to discover Udumbara flowers blooming on the leaves of locust trees and rose bushes along the path where we sent righteous thoughts. It was another sign of Master’s encouragement.
The Joy of Saving Lives
I went out with Ling, another practitioner, to clarify the truth in the afternoon and post informational materials at night. When I got home, it was almost time to send righteous thoughts. I was drenched in sweat, but I quickly changed clothes and began to send righteous thoughts. As soon as I crossed my legs, I felt Master purifying my body with Faluns. The entire bed spun with me, and I instantly felt exceptionally light and comfortable. I was too excited to sleep, so I started to do the exercises, feeling as if my physical body had vanished, leaving only my feet standing there practicing. There are no words to describe how wonderful it was.
I once dreamed that Master had me board a special express train with many carriages. I walked from the front to the back, seeing only a dozen or so people in each carriage, some drowsy, others asleep. I sensed how anxious our Master must be! I sincerely hope fellow practitioners will walk well the path arranged by Master. We must save more people, cultivate diligently, and fulfill our mission as Dafa practitioners.
How blessed I am in this lifetime to encounter our revered Master’s salvation and to to witness the grand spread of Dafa! No matter how long the path of Fa rectification may be, I will follow Master steadfastly to the end.
