(Minghui.org) The sudden COVID pandemic that began in Wuhan in 2020 caught people off guard—the city was placed on lock down and everyone was anxious. On January 23, 2020, I had just reached my son’s house when I heard my grandchild say that two family members managed to leave Wuhan before the lock down. Many people had already died from the virus. My daughter-in-law’s sister-in-law, Jia, was almost on the verge of collapse.
Jia’s family lives in the Baibuting community in Wuhan, and her mother had the virus. She had a fever, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Jia also had a cough. As there were no available hospital beds, they were told to quarantine in their homes. They were frightened and kept contacting my daughter-in-law through WeChat. My daughter-in-law told her to quickly tell her mother to recite, “Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good” as that helped many people.
Jia understood the truth about Dafa and also quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. She told her mother to sincerely recite the two special phrases. She later also helped her mother quit the CCP. I immediately went online to the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP website to post her declaration. A few days later, all her COVID symptoms disappeared. Every morning and night, she recites the two phrases and she is grateful to Master for protecting her!
I feel that I am the most fortunate person! I was able to practice Falun Dafa, know Master and the righteous Fa. How many millions of years did I wait to have such an affinity! I would like to share my experiences and how my family and I benefited. I hope that even more people can understand the truth about Dafa.
I am 68 years old this year and I am retired from a financial institution. Before I began practicing I just had a tumor removed in the provincial capital’s best hospital. Due to an allergic reaction to the anesthesia I did not regain consciousness for 3 days. However, I did not expect the doctor to tell me that I would need to come back to do the surgery again 5 years later. Just thinking about it frightened me. I told the doctor that I decided not to undergo another surgery. She said, “Why don’t you come and practice Falun Dafa with me?” I gladly agreed and went to her house to learn the exercises.
When she was teaching me the second exercise, the Falun Standing Stance, I vomited and had diarrhea. She was very happy and said, “Master is cleansing your body for you!”At that time, I did not understand what she meant. But when I later read Zhuan Falun (the main book of Falun Dafa), I understood. I understood that the purpose of living is to return to our original, true self. I was very happy! Master said,
“Oh how many the years, looking for the master,Finally the day has arrived to meet him.Cultivate and return, the Fa now gained,And follow your master to return, consummated.” (“Destined Return for the Holy Fruition,” Hong Yin)
My heart is filled with limitless gratitude. Master said,
“The term “latter days” isn’t meant to apply to the circumstances of just one religion, but to the decline experienced by a great many realms spanning from high to low. It refers to the decline of the Way in true religions as well as the fact that humanity has lost its innate moral compass and the self-restraint that would normally come with it.” (The Third Talk, Zhuan Falun)
I often share this segment of the Fa principles with my colleagues and friends in the office.
As I practiced the exercises and studied the Fa, Master cleansed my body further. I suffered from more than 10 types of illnesses: abdominal tumor, Meniere’s syndrome, tuberculous peritonitis, bronchiectasis, cervical spine deformation, lumbar disc herniation, rhinitis, dermatitis, etc. I would be hospitalized for 2 to 3 months or on medical leave every year. We hired an elderly woman to look after me. Although I was only 40 years old, I looked like I was in my 60s.
After practicing the exercises and reading the teachings, I changed. I knew Master was cleansing my body when red rashes appeared on my legs. When the skin broke open and oozed pus I wrapped my legs in gauze and changed the dressing every night. This went on for 3 months, then I was fine. When I went to the hospital an X-ray showed the abdominal tumor was gone, all the dark spots on my face were gone and all the illness symptoms and pain disappeared. The feeling of being relaxed and free of illnesses was wonderful! It felt as though I was reborn! My colleague said, “Your eyes are so bright!” I told her proudly, “All these changes came about because I practice Falun Dafa!” She was full of admiration but said that she could not take the hardship of waking up early to do the exercises.
Benevolent Master endured so much karma for me and cleansed my body. I did not spend a single cent and did not go back to have another surgery, but all my illnesses disappeared.
Since I began practicing Falun Dafa, I have abided by the standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance in everything that I do. That year, my husband’s company gave us a beautiful, two-story house at a discounted price. Many people competed for the house. I thought that as a cultivator, I should not pursue anything so I persuaded my husband to give up the house and let someone else have it. If I did not practice Falun Dafa, I would not have been able to do this.
My grandchild was over 2 years old in 2009. One day his aunt took him to the public bath house. A few days later he developed a high fever. The family took him to a hospital for a diagnosis and the doctor said that it was foot-and-mouth disease. He took the prescribed medication, but did not recover. At midnight, my son brought him to the best hospital in our city to get a diagnosis. There was no nurse on duty when it was time for his injection, so they were told to go home and come back the next morning.
After returning home, I saw that my grandchild’s face was red and he also had leg cramps. I quietly began reciting "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" to him and asked him to say the words with me. I told my daughter-in-law, “You feel distressed by your son’s suffering. Why don’t you recite the two special phrases, too? Master will take care of everything.” The three of us sincerely recited the two phrases for more than an hour. Around 5 a.m. my grandchild’s fever subsided. He shouted, “Grandma, I want milk.”
My grandchild fully recovered. My husband works at the police department so he was very much influenced by the CCP’s atheism and slander against Falun Dafa. However, in the face of reality, he had no choice but to admit that Falun Dafa has miraculous abilities to cure illnesses and maintain people’s health.
Later, my grandchild contracted the same disease again. He got it from his classmates in the nursery. This time, he quickly recovered by watching the 2012 Shen Yun New Year Gala at home and sincerely reciting Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good. He even knows how to recite On Dafa in Zhuan Falun and many poems from Hong Yin from memory. Once, my grandson’s nursery organized a spring outing and one of the children on the bus had a cold. He told him to quickly recite Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good and he would recover quickly. Everyone was touched by his pure and kind thoughts. Although many of them did not understand the truth about Dafa, no one doubted his words and all of them quietly agreed that what he said is correct.
There was another time when my grandson suddenly had a nosebleed on his way home from school. His nose bled quite badly and an entire pack of tissues was not sufficient to stop it. Just then, he suddenly remembered to recite the 9 special words and his nose stopped bleeding.
My grandchild is currently in his first year in junior high school and he has never taken any injections or medications.
My grandson recovered from his fever by reciting the two special phrases, without any medical intervention. This incident shocked my daughter-in-law greatly. She was an atheist and believed the lies fabricated by the CCP. I was arrested and held in a forced labor camp for 3 years in 2000. As a result my son could not work at the police department, so she was always hostile towards Dafa and me.
After this experience she asked to read Zhuan Falun. She discovered that what was written in the book was so different from the CCP’s slander broadcast on the media, television, radio and newspapers. The truth is totally distorted. Falun Dafa teaches people to be good, true and sincere, kind and tolerant towards others—to assimilate to the universe’s characteristics of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. She said that if not for her reading of Zhuan Falun personally, she would be deceived by the CCP’s propaganda and the fake Tiananmen self-immolation for the rest of her life.
In the past, my daughter-in-law often suffered from constipation and had severe acne. After reading Zhuan Falun, these symptoms all disappeared. In 2012, she began practicing Falun Dafa. Her relationship with her husband became more loving, her relationship with the neighbors became harmonious and her business also became prosperous.
In 2014, my granddaughter’s birth was another miracle. Even though my daughter-in-law was using contraceptives, she still conceived my granddaughter. During the pregnancy she did not feel any discomfort. She also did not have to pay a fine for giving birth to a second child. Since this child is bestowed by the Heavens, she is a blessing and she is here to obtain the Fa. Four months after my granddaughter was born, the police station called us to go over to set up an account for her without the need to spend any money. My granddaughter’s classmate is 4 months younger than her. His grandmother said that she paid a fine of more than 30 thousand yuan and she did not believe that we did not pay anything.
My granddaughter is 7 years old this year. She had high fever twice. The first one happened when she was just over one year old. Her grandfather had wanted to take her to the hospital but her mother and I insisted on sincerely reciting Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good instead. Her grandfather made a fuss. My daughter-in-law and I did not waver and we persisted in reciting the phrases. My granddaughter recovered the next day. This once again validated how powerful Dafa is.
My granddaughter often tells me that she saw Master sitting on a big lotus flower seat and there are many Gods and Buddhas kneeling around him as they read Zhuan Falun! Hearing that, I was very touched.
My Aunt used to suffer from many illnesses, and she was always depressed. Her arms and hands were numb and her legs hurt so much that she had to rest after walking a few steps. According to the hospital, she suffered from complicated illnesses such as cervical spondylosis and frozen shoulder.
At the end of 2010, her nose suddenly could not stop bleeding. The hospital check up revealed it was caused by a fibroid tumor and she needed surgery. She went to the largest and best hospital in the provincial capital to have it done. Just within a few days, she spent tens of thousands of yuan. For more than six months she had to go for regular checkups.
Despite spending so much money she still did not recover. Every day, she lived under great mental stress and was in pain. The doctor said nothing else could be done. Her illness relapsed again that winter and in the spring of 2014, her discomfort grew worse. Her nose and face swelled and the hospital checkup revealed it to be fibroid again and she would need another surgery.
This time, she decided to recite, “Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good,” instead of undergoing surgery. She also learned the exercises. After practicing them for a few days, the swelling in her nose and face subsided and she no longer needed any medication.
She suddenly had a high fever and it lasted the entire day and night. Her husband and grandchild wanted her to go to the hospital but she just believed in Master and the Fa. She was fine the next morning and even took her grandchild to school.
Not long ago, my Aunt had a car accident. The car was badly damaged and she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she immediately started saying, “Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good.” There was a big lump on her head and her left arm and left rib were injured—it hurt when she breathed. My aunt recalled Master said, “One thought made all the difference.” (The Fourth Talk, Zhuan Falun).
After returning home, she immediately did the exercises. The next day the pain was gone. She said, “If I didn’t practice Falun Dafa, I may have to be hospitalized for weeks. Not only would I spend money, I would be in great pain. I believe in Master and I know Falun Dafa is truly good.”
My Aunt said that no words can express her gratitude to Master. What is more important is that her perspective of life changed fundamentally. She no longer has a bad temper and her family relationships are more harmonious. She can also think of others when she does things now.
My son’s mother-in-law could not turn or move her head due to illnesses. If she wanted to look to the left, her head and body must turn to the left. If she wanted to look to the right, her head and body must also turn to the right. She also had motion sickness and could not travel in a car. In September 2013, she went to the provincial city’s big hospital for a check up. The doctors thought she had bone marrow cancer (myeloma) and wanted to hospitalize her. Her son and husband were so upset that they kept crying. My daughter-in-law comforted them and told them not to send her to the hospital as there was a better solution. She suggested that her mother practice Falun Dafa with me instead. Her mother saw that although I was older than her, I was in better shape than she was. Not only did I look after the grandchildren and do the housework, I looked much younger than most people my age. She agreed to try practicing Falun Dafa with me.
She never attended school and had difficulty reading. I read the teachings to her and we watched the videos of Master’s lectures in Guangzhou and Dalian. Within a very short time, the changes in her were great. Her head could move freely and many of her illnesses disappeared. After doing the exercises and reading the teachings, her understanding of the Fa quickly improved. Now, she can read Zhuan Falun by herself. She understood that Dafa is a form of cultivation that is rooted in Buddhist tradition and teaches people to be good. Master is benevolent and is here to save people. In June 2015, my son’s mother-in-law even voluntarily sued Jiang. She asked a practitioner to help her write her complaint letter and used her real name. She requested that the slander be removed from Master’s name, and that practitioners be allowed a cultivation environment where they can cultivate openly and freely.
Since then, happy things happened one after another: in the past, she was very worried about her son who is getting old but has yet to get married. Later, not only did he find a beautiful wife whom he is satisfied with, six months later, her daughter-in-law understood the truth about Dafa and quit the CCP. She soon became pregnant and bore a healthy grandson. Now the entire family is happy.
