Practitioner in Australia Thanks Master Li for Curing Her Depression

Jan. 30, 2022

(Minghui.org) Trang is a Vietnamese student studying in Melbourne, Australia. She has experienced many miracles in her short one year of cultivating Falun Dafa. Most notably, her depression and migraine were gone in three months.

Having regained a new life, Trang passes out flyers about Falun Dafa on the streets in her spare time. She’d often share her story with others and expose the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Falun Dafa.

Miracles in Three Months

Looking at the young woman who is calm and energetic, no one would have imagined that Trang used to suffer from depression, migraine, and pollen allergy. Tormented by her illnesses, she had a really bad temper and suffered from extreme mood swings.

She tried martial arts and Yoga, hoping to gain a positive attitude and lessen her depression. Unfortunately, her depression only got worse over time.

Trang recalled her suffering, “Sometimes I couldn’t think straight or get myself out of bed. I’d be unable to do anything for days on end. Such a mental state would suddenly disappear but often reappear in two months.”

In October 2020, she told a friend, who happened to be a Falun Dafa practitioner, about her struggle. The friend immediately got her a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main teaching of Falun Dafa. She encouraged Trang, “This book can help you.”

Trang started reading the book every day. In the beginning, she could not comprehend the teachings at all, but interestingly, she often shed tears during the reading.

She said, “I couldn’t fall asleep during the first few days of reading Zhuan Falun. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw dazzling lights, which still persisted even after I opened my eyes. The lights brightened the whole room. While I didn’t sleep at night, I was clearheaded and felt energetic the next morning.”

She began to live by Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. More and more miracles ensued. Before she knew it, her depression and migraine were gone. She put in more time in her study and work, but because she did Falun Dafa exercises every day, she didn’t feel fatigued as before. Her vision also became much better. She no longer needed glasses and had no trouble working in front of a computer all day long.

Before her practice of Falun Dafa, Trang also had a lot of acne on her face. Sometimes her breakout even oozed pus. No medication helped, but the acne disappeared shortly after she became a practitioner. She said, “The wrinkles on my face were also gone. Because of the joy I feel [about practicing Falun Dafa], my once sallow and dull complexion has now become much brighter. The rashes I had as an allergic reactions also disappeared.”

Clarifying the Truth

Trang said she encountered a lot of difficult people while clarifying the truth to them. Some cursed at her, while others were rude to her. There were also people who questioned why Falun Dafa is being persecuted in China if it’s this good.

Trang was able to maintain her composure when people yelled at her. She’d try her best to explain why the persecution of Falun Dafa in China is wrong. She said it’d have been unimaginable in the past that she was able to handle such difficult situations with calm. She said, “I tended to go to both extremes in the past. One moment I was extremely depressed and sad, but another moment I could fly into a rage and argue with others.”

She continued, “I’m much calmer and more rational now. I am able to look at things more objectively. I’ve learned from Falun Dafa to not get tangled in the matter at hand. When I am able to remove myself from the situation, I can see things more clearly and remain unaffected by my emotions, such as unpredictable anger or extreme moods.”

She said she is very grateful now that she’s able to observe things around her calmly and gain a deeper understanding of the Fa principles. She pointed out, “I am now able to see a lot of things are degenerating in the world when in fact I wasn’t able to recognize that in the past. I’ve been constantly rectifying myself using the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.”

Concluding Remarks

Trang choked up every time she recalled how fortunate she was to have encountered Falun Dafa one year ago. She said no words could describe her gratitude to Master Li, founder of Falun Dafa.

Trang said, “I thank Master from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity to learn Falun Dafa. I’ll happily deal with whatever comes my way in my cultivation journey, be it pleasant or unpleasant. I’ll cultivate diligently under the guidance of Master and Dafa. I sent my deepest gratitude to Master Li and wish him a Happy Chinese New Year!”
