My Hair Turned Black and New Teeth Grew After Cultivating Dafa

(Minghui.org) I’m 71 years old. After I began cultivating in 1996, I adhered to Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance, and my chronic illness was healed. However, when I gave up cultivation practice many years later, my health deteriorated. When I resumed cultivation in 2019, my gray hair turned black, and I grew a dozen new teeth.

Spending All My Savings on Medical Treatment

I had no feeling in one of my legs, and while I was in the cow pasture, I did not realize that one of my shoes had fallen off. Worse yet, I suffered from an unknown disease. I was afraid of the cold and became emaciated. I only weighed about 130 lbs while I was over 1.7 meters (5'5”) tall. I went to all the major hospitals and even visited witch doctors to try to get well. No one could tell me definitively what my problem was, nor cure me. In the meantime, I became so thin that I looked like a skeleton.

I was under tremendous pressure to get my body back to a reasonable weight. The more I could not find the cause of the weight loss, the more fearful I became. I was afraid that I was going to die. The savings of 20,000 yuan ($2,950) we had was mostly used up on medical bills, and we only had 800 yuan ($118) left. My daughter stopped going to school, saying that we needed to cure my illness even if we had to use up all of our money.

A fortune teller came to our house and said, “You’re a kind person. Otherwise you would have died a long time ago.” He then said that there was some spirit in my house and did some gestures to remove it. Then he said, “I won’t charge you. You can pay whatever you want.” I gave him 700 yuan. However, my health remained the same, and I saw no improvement at all.

While I was feeling desperate, a Falun Dafa practitioner I knew visited me in 1996. He had previously urged me to become a practitioner, and I had always refused to do so. This time he said, “Trust me, why don’t you do the Falun Dafa exercises. There will be miracles. If you’re able to read the book, I will bring it to you.” I’m a stubborn person. But I was out of money and ill, so I listened to him this time, “I can read. Please bring the book to me!”

I found that Zhuan Falun was very good. After two months of doing the exercises my weight went back to normal. All my abnormalities slowly went away, and I became completely healthy. I experienced the supernormal power of Dafa. The changes in my body were miraculous!

My Illnesses Return

I did not give up cultivation under the pressure of the persecution of our faith by the Chinese Communist Party that began in July 1999. However, I began to slack off in 2016. I played mahjong, smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, and indulged my desires. Two to three years quickly went by, and then I left Dafa completely.

My illnesses gradually reappeared. I had a cold about a dozen times a year. I needed to have an IV each time. Fellow practitioners urged me to resume cultivation whenever they saw me, but I did not heed their advice.

“I Am Not Dumb. I Will Start to Cultivate Again!”

In 2019, I visited a practitioner’s home. He opened up a copy of Zhuan Falun and pointed to the picture of a lotus flower at the end of the book and said, “Look! The lotus flower blossomed. Why do you still not come back to cultivate with us?” I took the book and looked at the image. I then witnessed a miracle. I clearly remembered that the lotus flower image was of a bud when I began practicing Falun Dafa. Now it was an open blossom and displayed a yellow heart. Zhuan Falun is indeed a heavenly book. I told the practitioner, “I am not dumb. I will start to cultivate again!”

Every evening after that, I went to the practitioner’s house to do the exercises and study the Fa after I finished my work in the field. I also went out to tell people the facts about Dafa and the persecution.

I fell when I went to the restroom one night in 2020, which was about a year after I returned to Dafa. I was hurt badly and could not get up. It felt like I had a stroke. My wife helped me get back to the bedroom.

I thought: I’m a practitioner, and I trust Master Li (the founder and teacher of Dafa). I will have no problem recuperating. I began studying the Fa four to five days after the fall. I did not do the exercises for the first two days but resumed them afterwards. My legs appeared to not work properly, but they returned to normal after a year.

I knew it was Master Li who saved me. If I had not returned to Dafa, I might have truly had a stroke and died. Master helped me eliminate the karma. Thank you, Master and Dafa!

I have now completely recovered. Two years ago, my gray hair turned black. A dozen new teeth also grew in on my upper and lower jaws last spring. They grew slowly and were small, but I could eat peanuts and ribs with them. I am over 70 now and in great shape. I feel that viruses and germs cannot harm me.

My family members all support me in cultivating in Dafa after seeing the changes in me. My brother-in-law is a very stubborn person and did not understand Falun Dafa. But when he saw my black hair and new teeth, he commented, “I have only seen six or seven-year-old children grow new teeth. I never saw anyone grow teeth at your age.”

I study the Fa and do the exercises every day and am very happy. When reflecting on the reason for giving up cultivation, I found it was because I did not understand the meaning of cultivation, and the true mission of a Dafa practitioner. I am now determined to cultivate all the way to the end, assimilate to Dafa, and fulfill my promises to Master Li. Thank you Master and Dafa!
