(Clearwisdom.net) I am a new practitioner. I just began Falun Dafa practice a month ago, but I have already experienced enormous changes both physically and mentally. Not only are the illnesses that bothered me for years gone, but my spirit has also elevated following the improvement in my character. I would like to give an account of the miraculous changes that Dafa has brought about in me in the past month to share with fellow practitioners.
I had been bothered by all sorts of ailments for many years. I suffered from trigeminal neuralgia (a nerve disorder that causes severe facial pain), heart disease, hepatitis, intestinal adhesions, constipation and more. The worst was trigeminal neuralgia, as the pain was unbearable. My eyes hurt so much, as though someone was grabbing my eyeballs and pulling them out. The pain was worst at night. The painkillers that the doctor prescribed were ineffective. Another patient with the same affliction told me that he had spent thirty thousand yuan to have an operation. Afterwards, the pain was alleviated, but half of his face became numb. He had to cover that side of his face with his hand all day long. Hearing this, I was very discouraged. At the same time, I also often suffered from angina accompanied by suffocating dyspnoea (difficulty breathing). The condition had existed for over twenty years and was getting worse in spite of treatment.
Another very troublesome thing was that there seemed to be a possessing spirit in my brain. A little person often appeared in my head. It disturbed me and directed me to fight with my husband and even told me to kill people. I often had hallucinations and heard voices, which made me restless day and night. I quarreled with my husband all the time, and was often in tears asking for a divorce. Directed by the little person in my head, I even tried to kill my husband. The doctor gave me medication to calm me down, but that did not free me from the control and disturbance by the possessing spirit. I was unable to escape and was distressed all the time.
On the evening of December 10, 2006, in my despair, I thought of the Falun Dafa that my sister had told me about. She has been a Dafa practitioner for ten years and often tried to introduce Dafa to me, but I kept missing my opportunities and did not learn it, but I knew that Dafa was good and could work wonders. So I sat on my bed with my hands conjoined, and thought quietly, "Falun Dafa is good." I thought of Teacher, and really wished that Teacher would save me and help me out of my miseries.
Within minutes, out of the blue a miracle happened. On the right side of my brain where the trigeminal neuralgia originated, I could feel Falun spinning. The neuralgia subsided immediately. It truly was like what was said in Zhuan Falun:
"When a person's Buddha-nature comes out it shakes the Ten-Directional World. Whoever sees this will help him, and they'll help him no matter what. Buddhists believe that saving people has no conditions attached, it's done at whatever cost, and they can help him unconditionally. That's why we can do a lot for our students."
I knew it was Teacher who was helping me.
A while later, a thundering noise appeared in my head. It was like torrential rain pouring down, cleansing my body and washing the bad stuff out through the soles of my feet. Both of my feet became wet and had the most offensive smell I have ever experienced. My heart felt good, and I was no longer short of breath. Then I felt the bad stuff rushing out of my finger tips. Both hands swelled up, making the lines in the palms disappear. My husband and I were not sure what had happened and asked my sister. She said that my karma was being released from my body. Once it was gone, my swelling would subside. Sure enough, my hands were no longer swollen the next day and I experienced no physical discomfort. I felt very good, and I experienced the illness-free feeling that I had not experienced in many many years.
Seeing what happened to me, my husband, who did not believe in Dafa, also felt it was miraculous. He said, "It is Teacher who is looking after you. He eliminated your illnesses. You should learn Dafa and do the exercises right away." From then on, I stepped on the path of cultivation that would lead me back to my original true self.
I study the Fa and cultivate my xinxing every day. I follow the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" in my speech and conduct. My husband and I did not get along before, but now I make a conscious effort to take care of him. We now get along very well. Affected by the wonders of Dafa, he also began studying Dafa and practicing the exercises. Every day at six and twelve o'clock, he even reminds me to send forth righteous thoughts.
Now I look upon fame and money rather lightly. I have learned the truth of the universe and the real meaning of one's life. I have a great Teacher who looks after me and guides me to break away from the miseries of human life. He eliminates my illnesses and teaches me to be a good person. Now I am healthy and I am happy, what more could I want? I want to spend the rest of my life studying the Fa, practicing the exercises, and cultivating my character. I want to keep elevating myself and diligently cultivating myself. Even if I have only thirty minutes, I use it to do the first, third and fourth exercises.
One day in my meditation, I saw Teacher sitting right in front of me, smiling at me. I was delighted. Teacher was very kind.
I feel content since I attained Dafa. Every day I feel very good when studying the Fa and doing the exercises. I feel that Dafa is all-powerful. It brings me good health and a good life. Now, not only are all my illnesses gone, but I can sleep and eat well. I find it effortless to climb up the stairs. My vision is sharper, and people say that I look younger. I also feel that my facial tissue is firmer. The possessing spirit is gone and my mind is clear. All this is given by Teacher. I will never disappoint Teacher, and I will steadfastly cultivate myself and follow "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" in everything, everyday of my life.
I now try to tell people about Dafa whenever I can. I tell them that Dafa is righteous and is "...a correct and true science, rather than preaching or idealism..." ("Validation" from Essentials for Further Advancement). I hope they can become practitioners as soon as possible, eliminate their ailments and gain a good future.
