(Minghui.org) When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to suppress Falun Gong in July 1999, the regime made up many lies against the practice. To help people see through the CCP’s lies, Falun Gong practitioners have been working tirelessly in exposing the illegality of the persecution and sharing how Falun Gong, a meditation system based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, benefits its practitioners and supporters. Below are a few stories told by three different practitioners. 

In the Park

One day in a park by the street, I saw an elderly man sitting. We greeted each other and began a conversation. I brought up the topic of Falun Gong and he immediately said, “Falun Gong is not good.”

“Why do you think so?” I asked. “Have you read Falun Gong books?”

“No...” he replied. 

“Have you talked with someone who practices Falun Gong?” I continued.

“No...” he said. 

I smiled and said that, since he had not read Falun Gong books or talked with any practitioners, he was not in a position to evaluate Falun Gong. I said it would better for me to share my own experience instead of him jumping to conclusions. I then briefly described how the practice made me a better person with great health. 

He also smiled and said, “It seems I was fooled by the CCP.”

My Neighbors

My neighbors all know that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. After the persecution started, they learned the facts from me and renounced their memberships in the CCP organizations. Because the local police and officials often came to harass me at home, however, I intentionally distanced myself from my neighbors so as to not burden them with the thought that they might be implicated for being in touch with me. 

Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Gong, published “How Humankind Came To Be” last month and I have read the article many times. I also saw it broadcast on NTD Television. Thinking this article might help my neighbors, I knocked on the door of Rong. 

She was very happy to see me and we chatted. I told her that since she was one of my best friends, I could not wait to share this article with her. She read the article and repeatedly thanked me. 

Elderly Mother’s Broken Hip Healed on Its Own 

I used to suffer from stomach problems and had trouble digesting food. My stomach was always bloated and I was extremely uncomfortable every day. My symptoms, however, disappeared after I began to practice Falun Gong. I was able to enjoy whatever food I wanted to eat and had no stomach issues at all. 

My elderly mother saw my changes and always trusted that Dafa is good, despite the CCP’s brutal persecution and false propaganda. 

My mother had a good friend, who was 10 years younger than she. One day, the friend fell and broke her hip. She was hospitalized and died three months later. 

Not long after, my mother also took a fall and broke her hip as well. She was 93 at the time. 

Instead of going to the hospital, she rested at home, while keeping in mind “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” In less than one year, she was able to get out of bed and move about with no trouble. 

My mother died peacefully five years later, at the age of 98. Before her death, she said happily to us, “Falun Dafa is good!”
