(Minghui.org) When I was five years old, my right arm was pulled out of the socket while I was playing. It was replaced but was later dislocated several times. Finally, the ligament stretched, and my right shoulder was often dislocated. After I married, I suffered from migraines, insomnia, chronic pharyngitis, Meniere’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and so on.
At that time, I had black circles around my eyes, I was thin, and my face was yellowish. I had a bad temper and often found fault with my husband and child when I came home.
In 1996, a military doctor who treated me said, “Hospitals cannot treat many illnesses, but Falun Dafa can and it is free to learn. You should try it.” The doctor's son took me to where they were then watching the video lecture series of Dafa’s Master Li Hongzhi teaching Falun Dafa.
At that time, I only watched three lectures because of family matters at home. However, I felt that Master Li spoke well, and his words were reasonable. By the time I had finished taking care of family matters, the lecture series had ended. I asked where I could watch the lectures again. Someone told me, “The book Zhuan Falun is in the bookstore. Reading the book is the same as watching the lectures on video.”
The day I purchased Zhuan Falun, something unusual happened. When my husband came home, as soon as he opened the door, he seemed to be pushed to the wall by someone running by him. My husband’s face turned pale, and he felt something rushing out of the house. I saw nasty things quickly escaping from my house. That was the first miracle manifested by Dafa in my family.
The second thing happened that same day. For more than 20 years, I'd had a hard time sleeping. I used to read books every night until dawn. Then I could sleep for a while. However, the first night after I'd acquired Zhuan Falun, I read only seven or eight lines of the first paragraph of “Lecture One” and fell sound asleep. I had a really good sleep that night. From that day on, my migraines and Meniere's disease were gone.
I loved reading Zhuan Falun and was reluctant to miss any words. I could read, at most, only one page or a few lines every day. I would read any sentence that I couldn't understand repeatedly until I understood it, then I would continue to the next sentence. I finished reading Zhuan Falun for the first time in about a year. The miraculous changes in me were obvious. The first was that my temper became mild. I became broad-minded, with a smile on my face. I was willing to understand others, and my attachments to fighting and jealousy faded.
I also experienced two obvious physical changes. I used to suffer from chronic pharyngitis, and my neck was sensitive to cold, so I had to wear a turtleneck when I slept. One night when I was asleep, my neck got so hot it woke me up. I touched my neck and noticed that the collar seemed to be wet with hot water. I had to take off the turtleneck; it was so wet that I could squeeze water out of it. When I touched the pillow and quilt, they were dry. The next day, my throat was no longer itchy, and my voice was no longer weak.
The second change also happened when I was asleep one night. My calves became hot, which woke me up. I touched my calf to find that it was hot and wet. I touched the sheet and quilt, and they were dry. I took off my pajama pants, the upper part of my pants was dry, only the lower part was wet, and it was wet enough that I could squeeze water out of it. The water poured out, instead of dripping out along my fingers. I wondered where all the warm water came from.
At that time, I didn't know it was Master Li (Falun Dafa’s founder) who was taking care of me. It just seemed strange. After that, my chronic pharyngitis and rheumatoid arthritis were gone. The joints in my hands were no longer painful when I touched cold water, and my hands and feet are warm all year round. My heart disease also disappeared. The only thing left was the dislocation of my right shoulder.
On June 5, 1998, when I started to read Zhuan Falun for the second time, my heart felt bright. It may be that my opportunity to obtain the Fa had arrived. After work, I got a call from a friend telling me about the spread of Falun Dafa throughout the country and that there was a practice site near my home. I was very happy and wanted to learn the Falun Dafa exercises.
Before five o'clock the next morning, I found the practice site, and an assistant taught me the exercises. I practiced the exercises earnestly and completely forgot about the fact that I couldn't usually raise my right arm. After an hour of learning, I realized that the four exercises had a lot of arm lifting movements. However, my right arm did not hurt, and I could do the exercises easily. I raised my right arm in disbelief; it was normal.
In addition to feeling grateful to Master, I also had the thought: “Believing in the Fa and believing in Master is the only way to a bright future.”
On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin, a former leader of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), began to persecute Falun Dafa, fabricating lies and slandering Dafa. Evil banners deceiving the people were hung everywhere in our city and the surrounding areas. I didn't want people to be poisoned by these banners and lose their chance of salvation. Therefore, I carefully checked the places I went during the day and wrote down where the banners were, so I could remove them at night.
No matter how far I went, or how high or secure the evil banners were hung, as long as there was one, I used scissors, wallpaper knives, knives tied to fishing rods, etc. to destroy them all. Then I spray painted in large words on the wall in that area: “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Wherever I painted: “Falun Dafa is good,” no banners slandering Dafa appeared again.
Three practitioners went out one night to another district of our city to remove any banners slandering Dafa. We walked for two or three hours, and there was only one banner left; it was at the gate of a community. We didn't bring a flashlight, and when I rushed to the banner, I didn't look at the road, and my left foot stepped on the edge of the curbstone. I lost control of my left foot and sat on the ground in pain.
When I touched my left foot, I realized that the arch of my left foot was pushed towards the inner calf. I immediately thought, “Evil factors are not qualified to persecute me; I am here to save people and will never accept their evil arrangements.” Seeing that I was sitting down, one practitioner said to the other practitioner: “She can't do it, let’s do it.” I put down the hand that was touching my left foot and said: “Who said I can't do it?!”
In my mind, I remembered Master's Fa:
“When disciples have ample righteous thoughtsMaster has the power to turn back the tide” (“The Master-Disciple Bond” in Hong Yin II, translation version A)
I stood up and walked forward with my left leg. In a second, the time it took to lift my left leg and lower it, I heard the clicking sound of bones between my left foot and calf, and the pain stopped. I took a normal step forward and removed the banner. There was no swelling, no blood, and no difficulty walking on my left foot. With the mere lifting up and putting down, just a second of effort, my foot was normal.
When my elder sister was 47 years old, she suffered from hepatic encephalopathy, and a provincial hospital issued her a critical illness notice. Her mother-in-law took my sister to their home, and my sister was to live there, waiting to die.
I live in another city, so my sister asked her husband to take her to my house by taxi. She asked me if I knew any doctor at the Infectious Disease Hospital she could see to determine if there was any hope of curing her illness. I knew that only Master could save her. I said to her: “I know a doctor; we have hope.”
We went to see the director of the electrical diagnostic testing clinic at the Infectious Disease Hospital, who is a Falun Gong practitioner and a well-known electrical diagnostic testing expert in the province. My brother-in-law showed the director my sister’s medical records. After looking through the records, the director said: “Once a hospital has issued a critical illness notice, the patient's life expectancy will be counted in days. The hospital has no ability to save the patient. But don’t worry. There is a way, and it is the only way to save your life, and without spending money. I have saved many people with this method.” My sister and her husband listened carefully.
The director gave an example. Six months ago, a middle-aged woman came from the countryside. There were five tumors on her liver. The largest tumor was 8mm in diameter, and the smallest was 1.5mm in diameter. Her family supported three college students. She relied on picking wild mountain vegetables and mushrooms and raising chickens and ducks to earn money. Her life was very difficult. After she got sick, she couldn't afford to see a doctor. Eventually, she could no longer stand it, so she came for an examination. The director told her to sincerely recite: “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The woman left happily.
A few days ago, the woman came to the hospital with a basket of eggs to express her gratitude. She said she recited the auspicious phrases while walking, cooking, going up the mountain, and even when she couldn't fall asleep. The more she recited them, the more she became vigorous and comfortable. She felt that her liver disease was healed. The director performed an ultrasound exam for her, and it turned out there was no trace of any tumors.
He went on to say that he himself had heart disease that could not be cured. It was only after practicing Falun Dafa that his illness was cured.
After my sister heard that, she said to her husband: “I want to learn Falun Dafa. Aren't you afraid that your work will be affected?” He replied. “As long as you survive, you don't have to worry about me.” She told me that as soon as she finished saying these words, she felt that she had become a different person, and her eyes became lustrous. The director accompanied us to the bus stop, clarifying the truth while walking.
After walking for over 10 minutes, we passed a supermarket. My sister said: “Our mom loves seafood. I will go inside to buy some for her.” She told me: “Call mom and tell her I'm all right. Before I left home, she was crying when I got on the bus!” I called our mom and told her: “My sister is fine. Don't worry about her anymore.” She didn't believe it, so my sister took the phone and said: “Please believe it. I walked out of the hospital by myself. We are buying you seafood at the supermarket!”
My grandson was very energetic. However, he ate little and was thin. When he was four years old, his stomach hurt for more than two weeks, and he couldn't eat anything. An examination at a hospital indicated that there were trapped bubbles in his gastrointestinal tract, which was causing the pain. Western medicine couldn't help, so my grandson took Chinese medicine.
My daughter was afraid that we might worry if we knew about it, so she didn't tell us what was going on. She brought the child and the Chinese medicine to my home and told me to let the child take the medicine three times a day. Then call her after we finish the medicine, and she would get more.
My daughter and son-in-law didn’t practice Dafa. If I didn’t give the child medicine, I was afraid they wouldn’t understand, so I gave him the medicine twice. However, I found that after taking the medicine, his stomach became more distended, and he couldn't eat even a bite of food.
There was a Chinese medicine hospital near my home, and I took my grandson to the pediatrics department. The doctor’s diagnosis was that my grandson's spleen and stomach problems were congenital. We were asked to come back after he finished taking the Chinese medicine.
After we returned home, I put the child on the sofa and said to him: “You heard what the doctor said, and taking medicine can't cure your illness. There is nothing the doctor can do to cure your illness. He also said that your stomach is going to hurt for a lifetime. So the hospital can’t help you, but Dafa’s Master can save you. Let’s throw away the medicine and stop taking it. Instead, you follow me to recite: ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Dafa’s Master will be able to save you. Your stomach will no longer hurt, okay?” He said: “Okay.”
He and I recited: “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” As soon as he recited these auspicious phrases, it seemed as if his stomach started boiling, with his belly constantly undulating. I placed my palm on his belly, and my palm moved up and down with his belly. I recited louder, and he followed with a more vigorous and loud voice.
With the gurgling movement in the stomach, he began to release gas. We kept reciting the auspicious phrases. After more than 10 minutes, he said, “Grandma, I'm hungry.” I shed tears of gratitude, conjoined my hands, and said: “Thank you, Master, for saving the child!” The child also put his hands together: “Thank you, Master, for saving me!”
I got up to prepare food for him. My daughter called. He grabbed the phone and said happily: “Mom, my stomach no longer hurts. Dafa’s Master saved me.” To this day his stomach is normal, and he can eat anything.
I am the only one in my family who practices Falun Dafa. However, everyone in the family has quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, and they carry an amulet. My whole family, young and old, believe that Falun Dafa is good. Everyone has experienced the miracles of being protected by Dafa’s Master. It truly is that “When one person practices Dafa, the whole family benefits.”
Thank you, Master!
