(Clearwisdom.net) I was fortunate to attend Teacher's Fa lectures in May and December of 1994. It has been sixteen years since then, and I am now 81 years old.
A couple of days ago, as I was going through my bookcases looking for something, I unexpectedly came across a original copy of Dafa literature that the police didn't find. It was a questionnaire about practitioner's health conditions after practicing Dafa in our area. How precious it was! While reading it, tears welled up in my eyes; the paper took me back to the days prior to July 20, 1999--and the beautiful, peaceful, and happy atmosphere of that time.
Ever since Teacher taught the Fa in our city from May 29 to June 5, 1994, Dafa practitioners were seen early in the morning and evenings in both the hot Summer and cold winter almost everywhere, including courtyards in government office buildings, schools, and on riverbanks.
There were quite a few Falun Gong practice sites in our city, and I belonged to practice site A. I'd like to talk about how things were going and developing in our area.
Our practice site was set up in the second half of 1994. There were only five practice sites in our area with a total of nineteen practitioners. As Dafa was spreading fast and wide, the number of practice sites grew to sixty seven with a total of twenty one hundred twenty nine practitioners in early November 1998.
In order to help Dafa practitioners do better on their cultivation path, we organized a Video presentation of Teacher's Fa -lectures at New year's time each year for practice site assistants, and had a day of Fa-study every other week. Fellow practitioners were anxious to participate regardless of how far away they lived, whether it was a hot day or a rainy day. It was obvious that nobody wanted to miss this exciting day-- it seemed like everyone tried to get there early!
Every practice site had pretty good arrangements also-- group morning exercises and group Fa-study at night. Half-day experience sharing exchanges every other week, and combined group exercise from two or more practice sites were conducted every Sunday for the purpose of spreading the Fa. The atmosphere with about hundred people in attendance was very charming, solemn and peaceful.
Most of our practitioners, regardless of being young or old, came with different kinds of long-standing incurable illnesses, because Dafa was known as helpful for all kinds of diseases. At that time, from eleven hundred forty seven Falun Dafa experiences collected, statistically analyzed, and recorded, we found that the success rate of curing illnesses was 99.8%.
Here are a couple of examples:
On January 14, 1997 Dan Dan (assumed name), an eleven year old elementary school student in our city, was taken to the hospital for the treatment of leukemia, where she stayed about four months. But she still did not get better after her family spent about forty to fifty thousand yuan. She had to leave the hospital because her family was poor and unable to afford any more treatments.
On May 14 Dan Dan followed her grandmother to practice Falun Gong. At the beginning she wasn't able to stand up for the practice, so she had to sit in bed to do it. Three months later, she felt physically normal, and on September 1, she went back to school. Now she is healthy and does very well in school.
Another man, Yang Ru, 65, a retired army officer, had various kinds of illnesses. After practicing Dafa, all the diseases he had disappeared.
Yang Ru had migraine headaches and insomnia for over thirty years. Within a month after becoming a Dafa practitioner, both of these serious problems were gone. For fifty years he had arthritis in his knees that was so serious that it was unbearable to bend. This got a lot better after practicing Falun Gong, and the lumbar muscle strain that he suffered for thirty years disappeared after practicing Falun Gong for two years. Before becoming a Dafa practitioner, he was sallow and emaciated, lean and haggard, and easily got sick, but now he is healthier, stronger, and reads well without wearing glasses.
