(Minghui.org) I was born during China’s three-year famine (1959 – 1961) caused by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), so I was malnourished. I was weak and sick, and my parents almost abandoned me. Since I could remember, I lived in poverty and life was miserable. Our village had no electricity, and the villagers were conservative and upheld tradition. The elderly taught the children by telling them stories. I was sickly and weak and couldn’t run around like the other children, so I stayed with the elderly and listened to their stories. I believed in traditional principles such as the importance of human life, karmic retribution, and reincarnation.

China’s traditional culture was destroyed during the CCP’s Cultural Revolution. What I was taught in school was the opposite of what the elderly villagers talked about. The villagers told me that human beings were created by the divine. Because they made mistakes in Heaven and they were sent to earth to suffer and dissolve their karma. Doing good deeds helped people accumulate virtue. Human beings could cultivate into gods if celestial beings showed them how to.

I yearned for Heaven and hoped that a celestial being would guide me. The teachers in school taught us that the divine doesn’t exist. There was no Heaven or hell. Human beings were advanced animals who evolved from monkeys. I felt conflicted and wondered if I would turn into another animal in the future if human beings came from monkeys. If there was no Heaven, no reincarnation, did souls still exist after people died? I felt puzzled and lost.

As I grew up, I studied hard. I wanted to pass the university entrance tests. If I graduated from a university I could leave the village and get a job in the city. I thought university professors had high IQs and could answer my questions about life. Unfortunately, I didn’t meet anyone who could guide me or answer my questions—instead I felt even more lost and disappointed. In order to improve my health and seek answers to my questions, I learned martial arts, qigong and tried various health and medical products. They were not effective, and as time went on, my health deteriorated. I felt life was hopeless.

In 1998, a friend suggested I try Falun Dafa. I initially wasn’t interested. I knew a lot about qigong and tried many forms of exercises. Every form was just so-so. I didn’t expect anything amazing from Falun Dafa. The friend lent me the book Zhuan Falun. When I began reading I couldn’t put it down. The book answered all the questions I had for decades in simple language. My feeling could hardly be described in words.

After I finished reading Zhuan Falun, I felt like I was reborn. The hopeless and exhausted me was gone, and I felt light-hearted. I know who I am, where I came from and where I’m going. I have a clear purpose – return to my original self and to my heavenly kingdom. Master gave me a ladder to Heaven—Zhuan Falun.

I was no longer pessimistic or filled with resentment. I became healthy and no longer needed medication. I feel energetic all day, every day. Guided by Falun Dafa, I became peaceful, calm and happy. I achieved better results at work and got along well with others. My heart finally settled down because I knew my true purpose in life.

Thanks to Master’s protection and the guidance of Falun Dafa’s principles, my health and xinxing improved. I’d like to share my personal experiences to tell everyone how compassionate Master is and how amazing Falun Dafa is.

Falun Dafa Is Amazing

I suffered from serious neurasthenia and chronic gastroenteritis when I was in high school due to the intensive study environment and my poor economic situation. I couldn’t relax. My physical and mental health deteriorated, and kept declining for 20 years from early 1998. My sleep quality was poor and I couldn’t go back to sleep if I woke up. When I got up I felt exhausted. I was tortured by chronic gastroenteritis. As soon as I lay down my stomach hurt, and the pain was intense after I ate. I endured endless suffering from these two diseases, and I had other illnesses.

After I read Zhuan Falun, even before I started to practice the exercises, these two illnesses disappeared. My other illnesses disappeared as well. I felt so comfortable when I was illness free. I was nearly 40 years old at that time. I was very excited and thankful to Master!

Letting Go of My Attachment to Personal Interests

I’ve gradually become detached to material things after I started practicing Falun Dafa. I remember the principle of “No loss, No gain” which Master talked about in Zhuan Falun, and put it into practice in my daily life. I remind myself that I don’t want anything that doesn’t belong to me. My manager trusts me and never checks the reimbursement documents I submit to him for approval.

I borrowed 5,000 yuan from the Finance Department for a business trip. When I returned and settled the account with them, the cashier was very busy and gave me another 5,000 yuan together with the IOU receipt. I explained the situation and gave her all the money. She realized her mistake and was very thankful.

Not long after this incident, I went to pay fees in another place. The clerk made the same mistake. He gave me both the IOU receipt and the money. I pointed out what happened and gave him the money.

Everyone dreams of making money in this material world. They try every means to get money. Despite the temptation, my heart was not moved. It’s so good to be guided by the Fa!

Master Is Always With Me

From my own cultivation experiences in the past 20 years, I feel Master is with me and always protects me.

The driver suddenly hit the brakes when I was riding a bus. I was thrown into the air, flipped 90 degrees but landed safely. I wasn’t hurt. Another time I tripped while I walked down the stairs and my face nearly hit the ground. I was able to hold my body upright and I quickly stood up. Another time I fell out of bed. My head nearly hit the floor, but I was able to hold myself up. Each time, I felt Master protected me.

Master has always protected me, and I feel very fortunate!

My Family Members and Relatives are Blessed by Falun Dafa

My mother was in poor health due to years of hard work. She repeatedly recited the two phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in early 2002. She benefited from this, and her health improved quickly. She suffered from shingles when she was in her seventies. But she didn’t feel much pain. The doctor was surprised. She recited the two auspicious phrases for years and was in good health. She passed away at the age of 83 and did not suffer or have an illness. People said she was blessed.

One relative believes that Falun Dafa is good. She was in the late stage of breast cancer and was hospitalized. She underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. She recited the nine words constantly, and wasn’t in pain. She recovered from the cancer and didn’t contract COVID.

Final Remarks

I suffered severe economic loss due to the CCP’s persecution in the past 25 years. Although I live frugally I’m happy and what I gained from practicing Falun Dafa and what Master has bestowed on me cannot be bought. I live happily every day because I obtained Falun Dafa and compassionate Master is guiding me.

I will cultivate diligently, study the Fa more, cultivate myself well and save more sentient beings so I can be worthy of Master’s compassion and salvation!
