(Minghui.org) I am 68 years old and I started to practice Falun Dafa at the end of 2012. I have since benefited both mentally and physically. Without Master’s protection, my husband and I would've died from a gas leak one night.
I'd like to begin with how I started to practice Falun Dafa.
I was diagnosed with cholecystitis at a very young age, and my situation only worsened after I got married. I had to be hospitalized three times every two years. Once, I fainted without knowing how to get to the hospital. I had to constantly inject Durandin.
In 2001, I went to the city hospital because of the unbearable pain I was experiencing. I was diagnosed with gallstones. The stone was so big that my gallbladder had to be removed. I was hospitalized for over two months at a cost of over 10,000 yuan.
I became weaker after my gallbladder was removed, and my digestive system couldn’t function normally. I couldn't eat anything raw, cold, sour, hard, or greasy. If I ate anything for dinner, the food just sat in my stomach, but the next morning I'd still feel hungry.
Things got worse when I turned 46 and was diagnosed with a herniated lumbar disc. Sometimes, I had to lie in bed for a whole week. My medical bills skyrocketed.
Luckily, my life was completely changed at the end of 2012.
At the end of 2012, my lumbar disc herniation suddenly grew very bad and I could do nothing but lie in bed for a couple of days. A Falun Dafa practitioner came to visit me and lend me a book, Zhuan Falun (the main text of Falun Dafa), and videotapes of Master Li Hongzhi giving lectures in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province.
When I started to play the videotapes, something amazing happened.
When I watched the video, Master was wearing a dark suit sitting in front of a yellow background. However, when I closed my eyes, I saw a totally different scene: Master was wearing a yellow cassock with curly blue hair, and he looked exactly like a Buddha. I was in awe.
I identified with everything Master said in his lectures and decided to practice Falun Dafa. I followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, which greatly broadened my mind. Before I realized it, all my illnesses were gone! I ate well and was always energetic. Since then, I have never been to a hospital.
I also noticed that my wrinkles lessened and many of my age spots disappeared. People around me said I was growing younger. I never imagined that I could regain my health in my 60s.
Actually, Master did more than that.
In the spring of 2020, my husband and I went back to our hometown. It was still cold, and there was no heating in the remote village. We had to use the stovetop to keep us warm inside.
While I was still sleeping at 3 a.m., I clearly heard a voice urging me, “Get out, get out, get out!” I woke up, put on my clothes, and stumbled out of the house. I then started to vomit in the yard. When I felt better, I went back inside.
By this time, my husband had also woken up. He also felt very uncomfortable, and his hands were shaking. Suddenly, I realized that we were experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning.
Immediately, I told my husband to open all the windows. However, he was weakened by the gas fumes and had no strength left. While I was opening the windows, I kept reciting the words, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Later, I tried to go back to bed but couldn't fall asleep. Around 5 a.m., I saw Master's law body shining in front of me and said to me, “You are fine. You are fine.” I was too excited to say anything and put my hands together to express my appreciation.
If Master hadn't woken me up, my husband and I would have died. Actually, over ten families in my village had carbon monoxide poisoning last winter, and four members of one family died. Some survivors also experienced various side effects.
