(Minghui.org) My entire body was itching when I was released from prison in 2019. Everyone knew that the persecution of Falun Gong was severe. Practitioners were being physically hurt. Upon returning home, I studied the Fa, did the Dafa exercises, and sent forth righteous thoughts diligently, and recovered very well.

I was memorizing Master’s Fa:

“Practitioners will not feel physically comfortable in their future cultivation, as their bodies will develop many kinds of gong, all of which are very powerful things moving around inside their bodies; they will make you feel uncomfortable one way or another. The reason for your discomfort is principally that you always fear catching some illness. In fact, the things that are developed in your body are quite powerful, and they are all gong, supernormal abilities, and many living beings. If they move around, you will feel physically itchy, painful, uncomfortable, etc. The extremes of the nervous system are particularly sensitive, and there will be all kinds of symptoms. As long as your body is not completely transformed by high-energy matters, you will feel this way. It should be seen as a good thing anyway. As a practitioner, if you always treat yourself like an everyday person and always think that you have illnesses, how can you practice cultivation? When a tribulation comes in cultivation practice, if you still treat yourself as an everyday person, I would say that your xinxing at that moment has dropped to the level of everyday people. At least on this particular issue, you have dropped to the level of everyday people.” (Lecture Six, Zhuan Falun)

I kept Master’s Fa in mind and considered the itching as gong.

At that time, my wife was taking care of our grandson in another town and asked me to come and help. When I saw her she looked very tired. I felt that the field was not good, so I sent forth righteous thoughts to clean out my own field. The longest time I did so was from 11:40 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. the next day, almost 15 hours, including my sitting in the full lotus position. During that time, I did feel pain, but I didn’t put my legs down. I heard what Master said,

“The master takes you through the entrance, and it is up to you, yourself to practice cultivation. It all depends upon how you, yourself practice cultivation. Whether you can practice cultivation all depends upon whether you can endure, sacrifice, and suffer. If you can commit your mind, no difficulties can stop you. I would say that there is not a problem.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

“The sitting meditation requires putting up both legs on top of each other for a long period of time. The legs will be painful and numb after assuming the posture. As time passes by, one will begin to feel quite uneasy and then become rather restless. Suffering physically and mentally can make both the body and the mind quite uncomfortable. Some people cannot bear the pain in sitting with the legs like that, and they want to give up by putting the legs down. Some people cannot bear it anymore after sitting a little longer. Once the legs are put down, one’s practice is in vain.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

After that, I experienced the power of Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong). Whenever I do the sitting mediation, I feel like I am in an eggshell. My body also changed a lot, and the itchy feeling disappeared. I became very healthy. What surprised me most was that I am as energetic as I was in my 20s. I enlightened to what Master said:

“Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)

My wife also recovered. She can study the Fa, do the exercises, and send forth righteous thoughts as before. I then returned home.

During these years, I listened to what Master said, and did the three things. I feel the peace and happiness of cultivation. I have been through tribulations, including being detained, residential surveillance, and forced labor. I developed some symptoms while I was persecuted, however, none of the tribulations changed my righteous thoughts, and steadfast belief in Dafa.

I am a 70-year-old retired train driver. I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, when I had many diseases and a level 10 work-related injury. Within a month after I started practicing Falun Dafa, all my diseases disappeared. I was light and disease free. After witnessing the changes in me, my wife and daughter started practicing Falun Dafa, as well as many of my neighbors. For the last 20 years, I haven’t taken any medication and have saved 20,000-30,000 yuan on my medical insurance card.

My regular schedule is sending forth righteous thoughts for a long time at the four global times, doing the sitting meditation at 3:00 a.m., studying the Fa after sending forth righteous thoughts at 6:00 a.m., going out to clarify the truth in the afternoon, and doing the rest of the exercises at night. I sleep for two hours at most every day, and I feel very energetic. Every day I am happy from deep in my heart to start my new day.

My whole family thanks Master for his mercy to save us.
