(Minghui.org) I am 52 years old now. I can never forget how I was fortunate to obtain Falun Dafa in 1995. Dafa has given me a new start in life. My heart is full of appreciation when I recall what I have experienced in the past 10-plus years. My friends and relatives have been amazed by what has happened to me.
One day in 1995, a friend of mine told me about something he had experienced. He went to repair his watch. After it was repaired, he was told that it was not a big problem and that he did not have to pay anything. The technician said to my friend, “You look like a nice person. Let me lend you two books to read. Please return them after you finish.” He found it very strange. He thanked him and left with the books. One of the books was called Zhuan Falun, and the other one was called Falun Gong.
In 1995, I did not generally read books for very long. If I read a book for more than 10 minutes, my eyes hurt and I felt very uncomfortable. So I dared not to read any books. Since I always felt discomfort in my eyes, I often winked involuntarily.
Why was the technician so nice? I wanted to find the answer. After dinner, I opened the books that I got from my friend. The first one was Zhuan Falun. The principles were so reasonable and seemed to invoke my nature of kindness and purity. All the questions I had since I was small were all answered in the book. I felt very peaceful in my heart. I did not want to let go of the book and said to myself that I must have this book. I also had the thought of hoping everyone in the world would have the opportunity to get this book and be good people. How wonderful the world would be!
After I finished reading Zhuan Falun for the first time, my eyes were not painful anymore. However, I did not realize it at the time. One day, my wife sat in front of me and said happily, “Why is it that you have not been winking for a long time? Your eye problem is gone!” Then I realized that I felt very comfortable after reading the book. How magical the book was that it cured my eye problem from which I had been suffering for 13 years! Shortly after that, I got my own copy of the book and read it all over again. Then I started to practice cultivation. My 30-year-long enteritis and rhinitis disappeared within a short period of time. Not only were all of my illnesses gone, but I also fundamentally changed my way of thinking. I used to have a bad temper actually, and I often cursed. After practicing cultivation, my wife said that she could not believe what a different person I became. She asked me why I became so nice. I introduced Zhuan Falun to her. After reading Zhuan Falun, she also started to practice cultivation.
My child was born with a weak body. He often got a cold and fever, which would then turn into pneumonia. He often had to stay in the hospital. In the Spring of 1996, my child was six years old, and he got a cold and fever again. I hurried to take him to the hospital. The physician said that he had pneumonia in both lungs and asked us to take him for an infusion every day at the hospital. After he was infused the second time, I watched Master Li's videotapes of teaching the Fa in Dalian while my son was playing beside me. When I saw that Master was purifying the bodies of practitioners on the videotape, I asked my son to follow Master's instructions as well. After he did so, he smiled and clasped his hands together to Master. Then he went back to play. The next day I took him to the hospital and asked the physician to check him first. After the examination, the physician said to me, “Who said he has pneumonia? There is none at all!” I was shocked. I pointed to his history and said, “Two days ago, we were told by the doctor that he has pneumonia in both lungs.” The physician said, “There is none!” I thought that this doctor might not be skilled and took him to another office. A different doctor checked him again. However, we were told the same by the second physician. I got it! It was actually Master that took away his illness since he watched Master's videotape the other day. Since then, we have not worried about our child's illness anymore.
In addition, Falun Dafa also made my moral standard constantly improve. I realized that I should be a good person according the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I should be thoughtful and responsible to others.
After I was in charge of a project, there was always someone who tried to give me gifts in order to gain favor on the project. One day, a senior engineer asked someone to give me a few hundred dollars. Since he was a senior engineer, I was hesitating about whether I should reject the offer or not. However, I was a practitioner and Master asked us to be good people. How could I take other people's money without a reason? I should return it right away. I found the senior engineer and gave the money back to him. He scowled. I said to him, “I have started to practice Falun Dafa which asks me to be kind to people. I cannot take your money. Moreover, you work hard to earn the money, and life isn't easy for you as well.” He was shocked and got his conscience back after a long while. He had tears in his eyes, “Wow, there is such a good person in society! What a great teaching! You must give me a book about it, and I should read it!”
In my cultivation of 10-plus years, my compassion and honesty which was invoked from my practicing Dafa makes my friends, relatives, and everyone I meet very touched. Meanwhile, I also understand that cultivation is very serious. When our mind is not on the Fa, our body would not be well. However, when I look inward and correct myself based on the Fa, everything goes well again. Every time I correct myself according to Dafa, a miracle happens to me that leaves a deep impression on my friends and relatives.
During one period of time in 2011, I slacked off a bit in my cultivation. My mind was not pure as well. One day in the morning, I was cleaning the table when I felt uncomfortable in my head. I knew that this state was not right. So I recited “Falun Dafa is good” and sat on the chair. I felt that the thing in my head was stopped. Later on, I found that I could not control the right part of my body. I got something like hemiplegia, and my right arm was bent toward the body. My left hand was numb. Moreover, I lost my logic. Although I was suffering both physically and mentally, I was not afraid or scared. I knew that I was protected by Master since I was practicing Falun Dafa. I knew I would recover soon.
My wife helped me sit on the bed, and we studied Zhuan Falun together. I was extremely uncomfortable and was not able to sit. I recited “Falun Dafa is good” and lay on the bed. I slept like that for a night. The next morning, I was not able to stand up. Neither was I able to speak rationally. I looked inward to see what I had done recently. I told my wife that I would do the exercises. I tried to stand up, and my heart was very pure and firm. I felt that nothing could stop a true practitioner and that I must be able to make it! The music started to play and I followed my wife to do the exercises. I kept very focused and forgot my physical condition. Although my movements were not accurate, my heart was in doing the exercises. After the fifth exercise, I was able to speak. Then I stood up by holding on the bed. I was also able to walk by leaning against the wall. Two hours later, I was able to walk without leaning on anything. On the sixth day, I wanted to eat. During the previous five days, I was very uncomfortable and did not want to eat anything except some water and fruit. On the seventh day, my hands were fine. On the eleventh day, my legs were fine. Then I went to work. At noon on the seventh day, my mother-in-law called me to invite me to have dinner with her at her home. My uncle was also there, and we had not seen each other for a long time. Since I had not been eating much for five days, I looked very thin. My movements were also not quite smooth. My right leg was crippled a little bit. They saw me and asked me what happened. I said that I felt uncomfortable these days and that I would be better pretty soon. My mother-in-law was worried and asked me to go to the hospital. I smiled and told them that I would recover soon. Four days passed and my mother-in-law was not at ease. She and her second daughter came to visit me. When they stepped in, I came to them from my room. Her daughter asked me, “You are fine now?” My mother-in-law was not at ease and asked me to walk a few more steps. Then I walked back. She saw it and smiled. They both said, “Falun Dafa is so great. How miraculous! We could not believe it even though we have just witnessed it.” Then my cell phone rang; it was my uncle calling me. I told him that I was fine. He did not believe it, “How is it so?” I replied, “You can ask our mom if you do not believe me. She just came in.” In China, the Communist Party has spread slander about Falun Gong. Our families and relatives have learned the facts about Falun Gong through our experiences. Now they understand “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I am pleased to see that and hope everyone in the world knows that “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I hope everyone benefits from it.
