Friends Attend the Workshop

John from Singapore was curious about Falun Dafa after reading an article in the Epoch Times about how the practice enabled a practitioner to recover from his illness. John had a liver transplant last year, and wanted to practice something to improve his health. He found out about Falun Dafa online and contacted a practitioner in his neighborhood, who recommended that he join the nine-day workshop. John then invited his friend, Jingyi, to attend the workshop as well. Jingyi said that she could feel her celestial eye moving while she attended the workshop.

John only recently learned that his daughter-in-law’s father also just started to practice Falun Dafa and was reading the books. When his daughter-in-law asked him about the workshop, he told her that it was great.

John said his pain became less intense during the nine days. On the second day of the workshop, he had a stuffy nose and other cold symptoms. He wasn’t worried, and didn’t want to quit half way through the classes. The symptoms went away when he went to the workshop that evening. After listening to Master’s lecture, he felt that Master was very knowledgeable. He said, “I will continue to practice no matter what. This path is worth taking.”

Vanessa’s sister-in-law encouraged her to attend the workshop. Vanessa exercised on her own sometimes, but felt her movements weren’t very accurate. With the help of veteran practitioners at the workshop, her movement improved a lot.

Husband Resumes Practice and Encourages Wife to Learn

Weixiang from Malaysia came to work in Singapore. Twenty years ago when he was in middle school, he practiced Falun Dafa for a while. After he started working, he gradually stopped because of all the temptations in society. Last year his wife got ill, and he suffered a lot of hardship. He wondered why things didn’t go well for him, and he remembered Falun Dafa. He decided to resume practicing, and suggested that his wife join him. They purchased a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of the teachings, while they were in Taiwan. As they stepped out of the bookstore, they saw a yellow butterfly. When they entered the subway, they saw several practitioners reading Zhuan Falun. Both Weixiang and his wife believed that these were signs encouraging them to practice.

Though Weixiang listened to Master’s lectures on his own, he couldn’t really stay focused. In the beginning of the workshop, he often felt tired and sleepy during the lectures. He told himself that he must stay focused, and things would change for the better. He was able to listen attentively to the lectures after that, and enlightened to many things as a result.

Weixiang’s wife, Meixin, wept when she shared her experience. She said that she felt much better after she practiced Falun Dafa. After the first class, she coughed a lot that night and wanted to vomit. She believed that Master was helping her cough out the bad things in her body. For a few days when she blew dry her hair in the evening, she could feel her hair was falling out. When she checked, it was all white hair. She was amazed, knowing that Master had removed bad things from her.

After benefiting from the practice, Meixin encouraged her mother, who lives in Malaysia, to practice Falun Dafa as well. Her mother’s leg was injured a long time ago. Even though she’s been seeing a doctor, her leg still hurts. After she practiced Falun Dafa, her leg stopped hurting, and she could walk up and down the stairs easily. She started reading Zhuan Falun.

Wife Introduces Husband to Falun Dafa

Clarence’s wife attended the Falun Dafa workshop a few months ago, and suggested that he attend this one. On the last day of the workshop, Clarence did the sitting meditation at home, and said his legs hurt terribly. However when he came to the workshop that afternoon and did the exercises, he felt quite comfortable.

When asked if he’d recommend Falun Dafa to his family and friends, he smiled said, “My wife already has.”
