(Minghui.org) Before I began practicing Falun Dafa in 2021, I was plagued with many strange illnesses. For example, my feet itched unbearably. The more I scratched, the more they itched. My feet became painful, and the places where I scratched oozed pus and blood. Even the skin on my instep was not spared and became severely inflamed and ulcerated. I went everywhere seeking medical advice. I visited many doctors and tried a variety of treatments, but nothing helped.
Pus soon began oozing from my ears. I ignored it. But, by the following morning, the skin on my ears and neck was hard, itchy, and painful. My head and neck felt frozen as if I were immobilized in a plaster cast. I had difficulty moving freely or turning over in my sleep. Two days later, my body was covered in small red spots. The itch and discomfort escalated drastically. It felt as though ants were crawling all over my skin, biting me. It felt worse than death and I was in complete despair.
My mother practices Falun Dafa. Misled by the CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party’s) lies my husband and daughter disliked my mother and interfered with her cultivation practice. They rejected my mother’s attempts to tell them the truth behind the persecution of Dafa, and they criticized Falun Dafa. To prevent my husband and daughter from creating karma for themselves she rarely visited our home.
After hearing about my condition, my mother believed only Falun Dafa’s Master could save me. However, my husband and daughter’s stance against Falun Dafa made it difficult for her to help me. She visited me and quietly said, “Xiuli, in your current state, only Master Li (Dafa’s founder) can save you! Remember to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and Master will help you get better.” My mother also told me how Falun Dafa healed her painful feet and swollen hands, and described the many miracles experienced by Falun Dafa practitioners. I thought to myself, “I’ve exhausted every possible treatment and nothing helped. My condition is getting worse. I’ll listen to my mother’s advice!” I nodded my head to show my agreement.
Over the following days, I sincerely said, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I repeatedly said it throughout the day and even at night while I lay in bed. My symptoms began to lessen within days, and this convinced me to ask my mother how to practice Falun Dafa. She happily agreed when I asked her to show me the exercises. I explained my decision to my husband and daughter. They were overjoyed to hear the good news and marveled over the miraculous powers of Dafa. My husband said, “We were deceived by the CCP’s lies. You should learn how to practice.”
My mother and I read the Fa, practiced the exercises, and sent forth righteous thoughts together. My health improved day by day—the pus and blood covering my skin dried up, and the itch and pain finally vanished. For the first time in a long time, I experienced the joy of being illness-free. This tribulation gave me insights into the greatness of Master Li and the magic of Dafa. This miracle thoroughly convinced my husband and daughter. Their attitudes changed and they respected Falun Dafa and wholeheartedly encouraged me to practice. Now my daughter often reminds me to send forth righteous thoughts at the four scheduled times.
On May 28 this year, I fell and fractured my big toe. When my husband suggested I go to the hospital, I firmly told him no. “I believe in Master and the Fa and I know I will be fine. After all, Master could have arranged this to help me eliminate karma.” My husband didn’t say anything else and my toe healed within days.
It has been my greatest honor and blessing to practice Falun Dafa. I know Master has endured a lot for me and words cannot express my gratitude. I am determined to cultivate to the end and assist Master in Fa-rectification.
