Awakening the Conscience of Sentient Beings

March 5, 2021 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Northeast China

(Minghui.org) I am 69 years old this year, and I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1995. I have a limited education but can read more than 40 Dafa books. A life immersed in the Fa is wonderful.

Joy Came after Sorrow

When I was two or three years old, my second older sister was playing a game with her friends while carrying me on her back. When she jumped over a pit, I fell off her back and landed in the pit with my head down. As a result of my injuries, I had convulsions until I was nine years old. 

I started school at the age of 10, and I didn’t know how to add or subtract during my first two years in school, and it took years to read some Chinese characters. Then I left school because of my poor performance. 

I had three daughters after I got married. My husband wanted a son and was disappointed with our daughters and did not help me raise them. 

I didn’t have enough time to recover after my second daughter and the third daughters were born, and I came down with severe ailments, including rheumatism. 

A friend told me that Falun Dafa could cure diseases on November 15, 1995. With the intention to solve my health problems, I went to my friend’s home to learn Falun Dafa every evening. Half a month later, I was still unable to do the exercises correctly, but my ailments were gone.

With my husband’s support, the fellow practitioners nearby came to my house to do group exercises. Through studying the Fa, I learned that cultivation is to return to one’s original true self, which is the true purpose of being human. 

Upon realizing this, I would encourage people I knew to come to learn Falun Dafa. I had a neighbor who was very pitiful, as she had advanced-stage breast cancer. After her operation the doctors found that the cancer had spread. 

One day I saw her through the window. After seeing she was still alive, I told her that Falun Dafa could save her, and so she wanted to give it a try. 

Her daughter and I carried her to my home. She was not even able to stand stable on the ground. My children were afraid she would fall to the ground and die at my home. 

I didn’t think much and just knew that Falun Dafa was good and could save her. Twenty-five years have passed. The neighbor who had late-stage breast cancer that year is now almost 80 years old. She is very energetic and has done a lot to assist Master in the Fa-rectification.

Experiencing the Power of Dafa

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival of 2002, I had a swollen throat and had a difficult time swallowing for several days. The water I drank would even come out of my nose. 

A fellow practitioner invited me to paste truth-clarifying posters at night. So I went out at night and pasted on the electricity poles about 20 posters with the words “Falun Dafa is good.”

The next day I came home. At night when I was half-asleep, I saw three children around eight or nine years old, digging something up. 

One of them took out a piece of paper that glowed with a golden light. It said on it, “The Fa rectifies the Heaven and the Earth; All evils are eliminated.” I looked at the clock and it was 11:30 p.m. 

I thought I should not stay at home to recover and should go out to validate Dafa. I went out and posted the stickers “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance is good” on almost all the buildings nearby. When I came home my throat was fine, and I could eat.

Repaying Karma

I felt my heart trembling and had a panicked feeling in 2007. My head and face were numb. 

I didn’t think much about it and visited my sister-in-law’s home with my husband as scheduled. During the visit, I did the exercises every day and went to distribute truth-clarifying materials with my husband. 

On my return home my condition had worsened. Fellow practitioners came to my home to study the Fa and send righteous thoughts. At the same time, I was also looking inward. I felt better when practitioners were around, but felt bad again after they left.

One day, I said to Master Li (Dafa's founder), “I will not ask fellow practitioners to come tomorrow. They have more important things to do …” 

I crossed my legs and sat in the meditation position, intending to talk to the lives that I had hurt in my past, “I don’t know how many bad things I have done in my life, which made you all miserable. What I am suffering now is my own karma. It’s my own burden and I must overcome it by myself ...” 

At that time, I was very sad and felt sorry for the lives I'd hurt. I felt that Master Li was watching me. Suddenly, I felt something pouring down from the top of my head and in just a few seconds all my symptoms were gone. 

Benefiting from Dafa 

One of my nephews came to visit me after hearing from my sister-in-law that I was not well. He didn’t know I had already recovered. After hearing about my miraculous recovery, he truly believed in Dafa. I also suggested he should learn Falun Dafa. 

He mentioned that he was trying to sell a condo he'd bought for business. Now money was tight and he really needed to sell it. He told me he'd been trying to sell the condo for about a year with no luck. 

I suggested he recite “Falun Dafa is good.” However, after going back, he started to pray for Master's help, “Teacher Li, my aunt really believes in you. I believe in you, too. Can you help me, please?” 

It was the first month of the lunar year and the shop was not busy, so he took a nap. In a daze, he saw an old man who told him to place an ad and that the condo would be sold on the 12th of the month. 

He went to ask his father to help with the ad, and his father asked him who he thought would buy housing in the first month of the year. However, a potential buyer did show up the next day and three days later his condo was sold. 

Neck Tumors Disappeared

In 2010, my neck was so swollen I could not see my collarbone. My head became so heavy it was difficult to support. My husband suggested I see a doctor, so we went to the biggest hospital in the city. The doctor checked my heart and took a blood sample. 

When we were waiting for the results, we saw a person in a hospital bed who was pushed down the corridor by four or five orderlies. The person in the bed was wailing.

I was shocked to see that and remembered I was a practitioner, “Ordinary people come to the hospital with an illness. I am a practitioner. Why am I here?”

At this time, we were called to see the doctor. The doctor looked at the results and suggested that I admit myself to the hospital right away. 

There were two tumors on each side of my neck. My husband asked if I could be treated at the small hospital near my home since we didn’t bring enough money for the deposit. 

I didn’t hear any more of what he said and was awakened completely at that moment. I held my husband’s arm and said, “Let’s go home. I am not sick.” 

I forgot I could hardly hold up my head and just dragged him away. A taxi just happened to be dropping someone at the hospital gate as we came out. 

When we got home, except for the swelling, all the other uncomfortable symptoms were gone, and I have not had any issues with my neck ever since. 

Cleansing of My Body

Something growing in one of the fingers of my husband’s right hand in 2013, and he couldn't bend it. We visited many hospitals and were told it could be bone cancer or tuberculosis of the bone. 

Our children managed to book an appointment with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis. It was far away, so we went a day early and stayed with our children. I stayed at my eldest daughter’s and my husband stayed at our youngest daughter’s. In the morning, I took a nap after doing the exercises. 

I saw a tall man in gray-blue clothes with combed hair holding my husband’s hand and smoothing it out. 

I was excited and told my granddaughter who was doing her homework, “Your grandfather is cured! Your grandfather is fine.” My granddaughter said, “Grandma, you scared me. What's the matter?” I told her what I saw. 

When my husband came over for breakfast, I told him about it and suggested that Master Li had healed him and there was no need to see the doctor. He believed me, but our son-in-law insisted on keeping the appointment. 

The doctor looked at my husband’s finger and said it was caused by being hit many times and was not a big issue. There was no need for medicine or anything else. 

My legs used to feel ice cold no matter how I tried to warm them. After that dream, my legs were no longer cold. 

Moving Closer to Children 

My children wanted us to move closer to them for convenience. Our apartment was sold the day after we posted the ad, and we were quickly looking for a new home. 

I prayed to Master that there would be another practitioner near our new home. When we went to check the first apartment on the list, the seller was not there. 

A neighbor let us in their home to check out a similar layout. It was amazing--I saw a photo of Master on the wall in that home. 

Although we hadn’t seen the actual apartment, we decided to buy it without bargaining. With Master's help, I had a practitioner as my neighbor. 

After moving to the new home, we had group Fa-study with the neighbor practitioner. When she saw I put tissues in front of me before studying the Fa to clear my nose from time to time, she casually commented, “You are prepared just like you are asking for it.” 

I realized that I shouldn’t prepare the tissues. I'd had this problem with a runny nose for several years. 

After I stopped preparing the tissues, it went away. In the new environment, I didn’t do much to clarify the truth at first, like I did in my hometown. 

I stayed at home to copy Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. One day, I felt my left hand was numb and my feet felt like stepping on a cotton pile when walking. 

I realized I should not just stay at home, and that I should go out to clarify the truth and to awaken the conscience of people. 

I used any opportunity to do the three things, distributing the fliers, hanging posters, posting the stickers, face-to-face clarifying the truth.

One night, when sending forth righteous thoughts with fellow practitioners, I felt the center of my forehead open a gap – about five centimeters just above my eyes. There were Falun (law wheels) inside turning clockwise and then counterclockwise. 

There are many amazing stories. I think, as long as we firmly believe in Master and Dafa, there is nothing we can’t do. Master is always by our side. The path of cultivation has been arranged, and Master is omnipotent.

I am lucky because I have Falun Dafa. My family and relatives are lucky because they have witnessed the power of Dafa and benefited from it. As long as you understand Dafa without any notions, your life won’t be in vain.
