(Clearwisdom.net) Afan is a 15-year-old boy from the mountainous region in southern China. He developed epilepsy when he was eight and the condition progressively worsened over the years. In the last seven years, he was taken to the hospital many times but his disease never improved. This past year it was more serious. Some days his seizures occurred seven or eight times. Each time, his whole body shook violently, his mouth foamed, and a lot of phlegm blocked his throat, which caused breathing difficulties. Sometimes, he even lost consciousness.

Afan's aunt is a Falun Dafa practitioner. About one year ago, she introduced Afan to the practice and taught him the exercises. It was just a short time after starting the practice that he became much better. However, because his father was deceived by the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda on Falun Gong, he resisted Afan's practice, blamed Afan's aunt for introducing the practice to him, and even prohibited her from coming to his home to teach him.

One day in May of this year, Afan's seizures were uncontrollable and he had to be sent to the hospital. He remained unconscious at the hospital, even after being treated by the doctors. During this time, Afan's mother recalled how some people in their village recovered from their illnesses through practicing Falun Gong, and realized that only Falun Dafa would probably be able to save her son. So she hurried back to their village and found Afan's aunt. She knelt in front of her and, with tears running down her face, expressed sincere regret for not believing in the goodness of Dafa and pleaded with her to help Afan. With the compassion of a Dafa practitioner, she immediately went to the hospital to help her nephew. She turned on a tape player to let Afan listen to Teacher's lecture. Meanwhile, she asked all members to recite sincerely: "Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" Half an hour later, Afan regained consciousness.

It can only take a moment for a person to go from life to death. Afan's sudden shift, in only a half hour, allowed his family members to witness the miracles of Falun Dafa. After Afan regained consciousness, his family agreed to let him immediately come back home and practice Falun Dafa with his aunt. Three days later, after Afan started to practice Falun Gong, all of his symptoms remitted. Seven days later, he recovered completely. So far, three months have passed and Afan has been symptom-free.

Afan and all his family members are deeply grateful for Falun Dafa, which has provided them with immeasurable happiness. Right now, Afan not only regularly studies the Fa, practices the exercises and sends forth righteous thoughts, but also clarifies the truth of Falun Gong to sentient beings, using his recovery as an example of Dafa's immense power.
