(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in late December 1997. I used to have many illnesses, including serious allergic rhinitis. I had to get injections twice a week and took medicine three times a day, but my health didn’t improve. I couldn’t stop sneezing if there was an odor in the air, and I wet my pants when I sneezed. I couldn’t breathe when I smelled cigarette smoke. My face and eyes would become unbearably itchy. I also suffered from migraines, post-concussion complications, anemia, low blood pressure, bilateral knee arthritis, chronic stomach discomfort, cardiac arrhythmia, chronic enteritis, and gynecological disorders. I tried Western and Chinese treatments, including acupuncture therapy. Some medications damaged my stomach and I became dramatically emaciated. But Master Li restored my health.
I returned to my hometown in 1997. My cousins told me that Falun Dafa is miraculous and gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun. They told me to read the book and go to a practice site to learn the exercises. I read the book once and realized that it is a book that teaches people how to be good. I was moved and felt this was what I had been searching for. After I read the book a few more times, I realized that Falun Dafa teaches people to cultivate to achieve the level of divine beings. I’d only had four years of primary school education and couldn’t express myself eloquently. I simply told my family that Master is the greatest Buddha of the highest level. I truly felt that I was the luckiest person in the world and that I had met the highest and best Master. I felt happy all day long.
After one month of practicing, all my illnesses were gone. I felt the wonderfulness of being illness free. No words could express my gratitude to Master. My parents cherished me but had been unable to find a cure for my illnesses. Master didn’t ask for a penny from me but gave me good health. I have practiced Falun Dafa for 27 years and haven’t needed any medication since I started practicing. I gained weight. The people around me admire my good health. They give me the thumbs up and are happy for me when they learn that I haven’t had any illnesses for the past 27 years.
When I had just started practicing Falun Dafa, practitioners told me that I had been snoring while watching Master’s video lectures. I didn’t believe them. I said, “I was listening to Master’s lecture. Why did you say I was sleeping?” I was watching Master’s lectures with my husband one day, and he nudged me several times during the lecture. I got annoyed. On our way home, I asked him why he had nudged me. He said, “You fell asleep and snored. You were disturbing other people. I tried to wake you up but you kept sleeping.” I then believed that I had been sleeping while listening to the Fa lectures. Yet I obtained the Fa and experienced the wonder of Dafa not long after I started practicing.
I had achieved academic excellence when I was in school, but I was not interested in reading books or newspapers or playing cards after I left school. However, I liked to read Zhuan Falun and I read it every day. I have been strict with myself according to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance in my daily life and at work. I used to take things home from my workplace or wash my clothes at work. But I stopped doing that after I started practicing Falun Dafa. I take my work seriously. I work shifts. Sometimes the workers from the previous shift leave work behind. I don’t get angry about it and take on the extra work without complaint. I follow Master’s teachings and don’t contend with my colleagues. I feel fulfilled every day.
I used to live in a building that had a slope in front that was more than 10 meters (33 feet) long with a walkway five meters wide. Each winter, I got up early to shovel the snow from that area so that elderly people and children in the building wouldn’t slip when they went outside. One Chinese New Year, a man came to visit his relatives in the building. He saw me clearing the snow by myself and waved to me with a smile on his face. Three years later he came again and saw me shoveling snow again. While walking up the slope, he gave me a thumbs up and said, “You are indeed a good person!”
My son was angry with me for shoveling the snow. He said, “Mom, no one else in this building goes out to clear the snow. There are 50 households in this six-story building. You are not allowed to go out to shovel the snow anymore.” I said, “I clear the snow. You have benefited from it when you go out to work, haven’t you?”
I lived on the second story of our building and there were eight households with two public toilets. The people in the rented apartments often made the toilets very dirty by pouring dirty water with leftover food into the toilets. The toilet floors were filthy, without a clean spot. I often cleaned the toilet floors and the corridors of the second story. A female resident from the building who sold eggs on the street told her customers and our neighbors that I was the best person in the building and she couldn’t find another good person like me.
I once bought some fruit from a vendor at a stall and he gave me back some change. I told him that the change was incorrect. He got angry with me and asked me how it was wrong. I told him that he’d given me an extra 20 yuan. He thanked me again and again. I said, “Please don’t thank me. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. My Master teaches us to be good people. You should thank Master.” He kept thanking me. I have come across quite a few such cases and have always given the extra money back to the stall holders. Some stall holders wave to me whenever they see me.
In my daily life I often help those in need. Falun Dafa teaches me to be considerate and to cultivate myself to become a selfless person, so I put these principles into practice.
When I had just started to read Zhuan Falun, I saw the half-open lotus flower on the back cover. It looked very nice. Every time I finished reading Zhuan Falun, I looked at the lotus on the back cover. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched its persecution of Falun Dafa, a practitioner told me one day that the lotus flower on the back cover of Zhuan Falun had fully blossomed. After I came home, I picked up my copy of Zhuan Falun and indeed saw that the lotus flower had fully blossomed. Falun Dafa is miraculous! Even the lotus flower on the book cover could blossom!
When Master gave lectures, there were CCP flags in the lecture hall. When I watched the same video some time later, I found that the CCP flags had been removed. Practitioners in China had kept Master’s lecture videos at home, so how could those flags have been removed from their videos? My understanding is that because heaven is going to eliminate the CCP, Master’s law bodies protect and look after practitioners all the time.
Falun Dafa is amazing and extraordinary. I hope that more predestined people can read Falun Dafa books and experience Dafa’s miracles and wonderfulness, and become healthy like me, with a high moral standard. By practicing Falun Dafa, you will live happily every day and benefit tremendously.
