My Appreciation to Teacher for Saving My Life

(Clearwisdom.net) I am a new Falun Gong practitioner. I started practicing in September 2007, and I am 37 years old.

Before I practiced Falun Gong, I was afflicted with several diseases. Uterine cysts were the most severe among my many problems. Actually, there was more than one cyst in my uterus and the cysts had grown pretty big. The hospital had suggested removing my uterus a long time ago, but my husband wouldn't allow it. He said I mustn't have my uterus removed at such an early age. During each menstrual period, I was in agony. I would keep bleeding for weeks. Each time I depended on injections and prescription drugs to stop my period. However, a new menstrual period would start in just a few days. As a result of the frequent blood loss, I had only 4 grams of hemoglobin per 100 ml of blood. My face was ashen. I felt weak, and I passed out several times. I had resorted to any kind of help I could think of. Finally I built a shrine and worshiped Buddha in the temple. I spent a lot of money, but nothing helped. In fact, it only got worse. I had to rely on a lot of prescription drugs daily to sustain my life. I thought I would be better off dead. Oftentimes I would look up at the sky and shout in my heart, "Heavenly god! Please try to save me somehow!"

One day I went to the hospital to pick up a prescription that cost 800 yuan. When I returned to the office, I was suddenly hit with intense pain. My abdomen hurt so bad that I was limping back to my desk. An older woman came in and asked what had happened to me. I said I was dying for sure. She said, "I know a way to save you. As long as you believe it, you will be saved." I said, "I will believe it. As long as I can be saved, I will believe it." However, someone else came and asked for her, so she had to leave. I didn't know who she was, so I asked my colleagues about her. I was told she was a recently transferred engineer and she was a very nice lady. It was most curious that I felt something touching me and making me hurt less when she was talking to me. The next day she came see me. I begged her, "Please tell me the way to save my life. You must save me." She began to tell me the truth about Falun Gong and why it was imperative for me to quit the Chinese Communist Party and its two affiliated organizations. I told her immediately, "I know Falun Gong is good and the Chinese Communist Party is bad. I would like to quit the Chinese Communist Party's Youth League with my nickname." Then I added, "Yesterday while you were talking to me, I felt something touching me which reduced my pain. Now I am feeling the same way." She said, "You must be predestined. Let me tell you a few words. Recite them daily and you will be cured." I asked her to write them down for me because the prescription drugs had affected my mind. She wrote, "Falun Gong is good. 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance' is good." She asked me to recite them whenever I had time. I carried the sheet of paper with me and decided to follow her advice.

From that day on, the first thing I did when I got up in the morning was to recite "Falun Gong is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." I felt increasingly energetic daily and my abdominal pain and menstrual flow diminished. On the seventh day, two large blood clots, each the size of an egg, came out of my uterus. Then my abdominal pain stopped altogether. I experienced a miracle of Falun Gong.

During that period, she often told me facts about Falun Gong and passed me booklets containing information about Falun Gong. I began to learn more about Falun Gong. I thought, "It is such a wonderful cultivation practice. I must practice it." One day she gave me a copy of Falun Gong. When I saw the photo illustrations of the exercises in the book, I told her, "I have practiced these exercises before. It was July 1999. I was in a lot of pain because of my uterine cysts. My mother-in-law invited me to practice Falun Gong with her. I didn't know it was Falun Gong. But I practiced the exercises with her every morning. There were a lot of people practicing with us. At the group practice site, I saw white light shooting into my body. In just a week, the cysts were gone. I knew because I had an exam at the hospital a week later and they confirmed that there were no cysts. It is a pity that nobody practices Falun Gong in public since July 1999. I practiced Falun Gong for only a week and didn't even know it was Falun Gong. Shortly afterwards, cysts developed in my uterus again and grew worse. Little did I expect that I would have the opportunity to practice Falun Gong again eight years later."

I soon finished studying Falun Gong. The content is wonderful. I have never read anything like it. Next she gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun and Teacher's exercise teaching videotape. She asked me to study the book and practice the exercises diligently. After I got off work, I would utilize my free time to study the Fa and watch the videotape to learn the Falun Gong exercises from Teacher. I felt powerful energy entering me. My body felt light and wonderful. While I was learning the sitting meditation, I was unable to put my legs on top of each other (known as the Full Lotus position). Sitting on the meditation mat, I said to Teacher's photo, "Teacher, is it because I have a lot of karma that I cannot practice the sitting meditation in the Full Lotus position?" Just as soon as I said it, I was able to sit in the Full Lotus position. I was very excited. It was miraculous! Thank you, Teacher! I became all the more diligent in studying the Fa and practicing the exercises.

When I progressed to Lecture Four of Zhuan Falun, I encountered a large xinxing test. One day while I was distributing materials at work, a worker accused me of giving him the wrong materials in front of everyone. I patiently checked the materials and confirmed that I had given him the right materials, so I explained to him in a peaceful manner. But he went berserk and started berating and insulting me in front of everyone. The more I explained, the more abusive he became. I had never experienced anything like this. I sat there and burst into tears, completely forgetting I was a cultivator. I kept thinking about what happened and became increasingly mad with rage. He was a man, so I could not fight with him. I called my husband and told him what had happened. I asked him to come and defend me. My husband came right away. As soon as my husband came, he started fighting with the man who insulted me. My colleagues broke up the fight. My boss ordered them to talk in an office.

After my husband and the man entered an office, I continued crying in the corridor. Then my new friend approached me and asked what had happened. I told her the story in tears. But she smiled at me and invited me to her office. In her office, she explained why I would face a conflict like this and how I should respond to it like a cultivator. As she continued to explain, I was no longer angry. Then I remembered Teacher's words and regretted what I had done. I asked her, "Do you think I can still practice Falun Gong?" She said, "It's nothing. Why don't you apologize and start fresh?" I went to apologize to the man who had insulted me and asked my husband to leave. Afterwards, I felt as though nothing had ever happened. Since that day, when I face a problem, I know it is a test and I can maintain my xinxing.

As I continued to study the Fa, my xinxing level kept enhancing and my health kept undergoing transformation. In the past when I was suffering from uterine cysts, pus with a foul stench would discharge from my navel. Every morning and night I had to clean my navel with an alcohol swab and put on antibiotic cream. After a month of practicing Falun Gong, a blister grew on my labia. It didn't hurt although it was inconvenient when I walked. I knew Teacher must be discharging the pus from my uterus. I had no fear. I went to the hospital and asked the doctor to slit it open so that the pus and blood could come out freely. It didn't hurt at all. It even amazed the doctor. I didn't take any shot or prescription drug. It healed two days later. Afterwards, pus stopped coming out of my navel.

I used to spent thousands of yuan on medical treatments, yet I was still in agony and felt weak. Every day my husband had to drive me to work and pick me up from work. After I got home from work, I was unable to do any housework. Now I am a healthy, energetic woman with a rosy complexion. When I go hiking, I out-walk even young men. For over a decade, I was unable to lead such a healthy life. Moreover, it didn't cost me a penny.

Thank you, Teacher, and your Falun Gong. Thank you to the lady who introduced me to Falun Gong. I tried to give her a gift and money, but she refused both. I tried to buy her dinner, but she refused that as well. She told me, "Please don't offer me any gratuity. It was Teacher that asked me to spread Falun Gong. Why don't you thank Teacher and His Fa?" I said, "I feel beholden. I must not gain without paying for it." She said, "If you really want to show your appreciation for Falun Gong, you may tell the story of how your health was transformed and that 'Falun Gong is good' and 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' By doing so, you will help more people benefit from Falun Gong."

I started clarifying to my family, colleagues, relatives, and friends the truth about Falun Gong. They have witnessed the huge transformation in my health, so they all believe that Falun Gong is good and are no longer deceived by the wicked Communist Party's hate propaganda. My parents-in-law started practicing Falun Gong again. My mother used to worship a fake religion and was possessed by an animal spirit. Now she practices Falun Gong. Teacher has removed the animal possession from her body. She recites "Falun Gong is good," "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good," and "Teacher is good" daily. She is becoming increasingly healthy. My entire family has quit the Chinese Communist Party and/or its two affiliated organizations. Teacher was right when he said,

"[...] with one person practicing, the whole family benefits" ("Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference in Australia")
( http://www.falundafa.org/book/eng/lectures/19990502L.html )

I read "Minghui Weekly" and the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. When I realized fellow practitioners have been clarifying the truth about Falun Gong, I, too, tried to do it. A neighbor of mine was given unreasonably low compensation for his home that the Chinese government had torn down. He tried to appeal to the district and city governments, but no official would respond to his plight. Finally he went to Beijing to exercise his constitutional right to appeal to the State Appeals Office, but he was arrested for it and sent to prison. After he was released, he went to Beijing again to appeal and again he was arrested and imprisoned. After a few times, the Public Security Bureau (PSB) was getting annoyed and illegally sentenced him to three years in a forced labor camp for practicing Falun Gong. This is because the PSB does not need any reason or evidence if it wants to arrest or imprison a Falun Gong practitioner. I told the story to my neighbors, relatives, friends, and colleagues in order to reveal the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong. It has been very effective.

I shall try harder to do well the Three Things Teacher requires of us in order to be Teacher's genuine disciple and a Falun Gong practitioner in the Fa-rectification period. Thanks to Teacher for His salvation. Thank you, Falun Gong. Thank you to the lady practitioner who helped me obtain the Fa.
