(Minghui.org) One day I saw an elderly woman on a wheelchair in our subdivision. I had not seen her before, so I chatted with her. She said she mostly stayed home and needed oxygen because of pulmonary fibrosis. She could come out occasionally but had to use a wheelchair. She said that doctors had given up on curing her disease and only gave her oxygen and pills to keep her alive.
I thought that her life was in danger, so I had to tell her the truth and give her a chance to live. I clarified the truth about Falun Dafa, also called Falun Gong. After introducing the practice and its health benefits, I said, “Look at me! I have practiced Falun Dafa for more than 20 years. I am healthy and do not need any medicine.”
She listened attentively. Then, I explained to her how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) staged a self-immolation hoax to frame Falun Gong and spread other lies. While speaking, I sent forth righteous thoughts to clear out the evil factors in her dimension.
At the end, I told her that if she sincerely recited the phrases “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance is good,” she may benefit greatly. She repeated the sentences a few times to make sure she remembered them correctly before saying goodbye.
Two days later, I saw her walking on the sidewalk of the main street outside of our subdivision. I was surprised that she was not in a wheelchair and had walked nearly 100 meters out of our subdivision. After exchanging greetings, she told me that she could breathe better and walk without any problems. She said that she had been reciting the two phrases constantly. “Otherwise, how could I walk so far?!” she said excitedly.
We talked some more, and I explained to her why people should quit the CCP. She quit the Party and accepted two brochures from me.
About 10 days later, I met her again on the sidewalk of a major road near the city center . It was about a kilometer from our subdivision. She told me that she had been at the morning market and was on her way home. “I walked all the way to the market and had not rested once,” she said. I was impressed by her change again.
This time I told her to read Zhuan Falun (the main book of Falun Dafa) because it explained the meaning of life, the origin of sickness, and the importance of cultivation practice. She said she couldn’t read because of her poor eyesight. I told her that she could listen to the audio lectures and arranged for a time to bring her a player, headphones, and a charger.
Later that day I confirmed with her before leaving, “Your heart must be righteous, and you must persist in listening to it.”
We met again in our subdivision five days later. She had a hat on, her eyes were clearer, and she walked briskly. From her appearance, I couldn’t believe that she had to use a wheelchair and an oxygen inhalator only a while ago.
She told me that she listened to two or three Dafa lectures a day. She used to take eight pills a day and was now down to only two pills. Before we met this time, she had walked two kilometers to the overpass of a highway to watch streams of cars and trucks pass by. It was not a simple task to walk that far even for a healthy senior.
But she sighed, “I had several friends who also had this disease. We got acquainted in the hospital and kept in touch. But they passed away, even the one whose symptoms were lighter than mine. Now I am the sole survivor of my patient friends.”
I encouraged her to cherish the extended life given by Dafa, continue to listen to the lectures, and recite the two Dafa phrases. Before departing, I promised to teach her the Dafa exercises next time.
