(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in September 2002. I'd like to share my story of how truly amazing Falun Dafa is!

A Bleak Future

I was born into a farm family. From childhood, I was never healthy and relied on various medications to survive.

After I gave birth to my son, I suffered from dizziness, vomiting, stomach problems and chest pains. My co-workers suggested that I stay home because of my poor health. But I had two children to raise, and they had to go to school. How could I not work?

When I consulted a Chinese medical specialist, he couldn't feel my pulse. So, I went to the county hospital. When the doctor examined me, he diagnosed me with heart disease.

As time passed, my health worsened, and I suffered from myocarditis, myocardial ischemia, insufficient blood supply to the brain, a large stomach ulcer, dizziness, nephritis and depression. In addition, I couldn't sleep and experienced excruciating headaches and kept vomiting. When the headaches came, my ten-year-old daughter had to do the cooking.

I visited various doctors, but they offered little help. My husband had to look after me even though he was quite busy with his work. My situation became so bad that I decided to commit suicide and asked my husband to buy a bottle of sleeping pills. But he was only allowed to buy ten pills at a time.

When I visited my mother during the Chinese New Year in 1999, she told me that she regained her health after she started to practice Falun Dafa. When she taught me the exercises, I was able to meditate with both legs crossed for half an hour and didn't feel any pain.

I took the main book of Falun Dafa, Zhuan Falun and the exercise tapes home with me. However, I only read Zhuan Falun when I had time, and every time I read the book, I fell asleep. I dragged on like this and eventually, I finished reading half of the book. By that time the persecution of Dafa had started in China. Gradually, I gave up practicing.

Reborn in Falun Dafa

My mother urged me to continue practicing. I worried that Master Li would not take care of me because I did not genuinely practice. My mom took me to visit a practitioner who'd recovered from late-stage breast cancer after she practiced Falun Dafa. The hospital could not cure her. Moved by her story, I decided to earnestly practice again, and I threw away all my medications.

When I started doing the exercise movements, I could not stand for very long and was out of breath. When I did the second exercise, I had to stop every ten minutes and lean against the wall. I read Zhuan Falun every day and listened to Master's audio lectures when I could no longer read.

Two months passed, and I started to vomit and have diarrhea. One of my relatives became frightened and urged me to see a doctor. But I knew that Master was cleansing my body and I remained calm.

Afterwards, all the pain, dizziness, and vomiting stopped, and I was able to sleep. In my entire life, I had never felt so good! By 2003, my health was fine, and I no longer needed to rely on any medications or injections. Inspired by the amazing changes he witnessed in me, my husband also started to practice Falun Dafa.

No words can ever express my gratitude to Master! Master gave me a second life!

Becoming a Good Person

My husband has eight siblings, and there were a lot of conflicts among them and their respective families. The children had to contribute money to support their elderly father. The second brother didn't agree with this arrangement and refused to contribute. Three years later, the oldest brother stopped helping. When his wife asked if I would stop sending money, I told her that I would continue helping even if all the siblings stopped contributing.

Master said:

“Of course, we go about our practice in the secular world, and so we should still be devoted and respectful to our parents and care well for our children; we should be good to others, not to mention our own families, in whatever setting we may be, and treat everyone with kindness. We should treat everyone equally well, parents and children included, of course, and think of others first at all times.” (Zhuan Falun)

My father-in-law was over eighty years old, and he could no longer look after himself. My husband's brothers were to take turns looking after him, but no one volunteered to take him first. So I took the initiative.

I cooked for him and kept him clean. He often soiled his pants, and I had to change him and clean him. My husband was sentenced to three years in prison for talking to people about Falun Dafa, so I had to take care of my father-in-law all by myself until he was released.

I adhere to Dafa's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance in my daily life. Once I bought a tape recorder from a shop, but the assistant forgot to remove the test cassette. When I returned it to her, she asked me if I practiced Falun Dafa. When I asked her how she knew, she said that only a Falun Dafa practitioner would be honest enough to return the cassette.
