(Clearwisdom.net) I am a new Falun Dafa practitioner in Hebei Province. I want to tell you some of the true stories that happened to me, to my relatives, friends and co-workers.
My mother-in-law is a practitioner who has practiced Falun Gong for a long time. Because her eyesight is not so good, she asked me to read Zhuan Falun (1) to her whenever there was an opportunity. Because of reading to her, I knew that Falun Dafa is a great practice. However, I was very busy at that time, so I did not practice Falun Dafa myself.
A co-worker at my work unit had a serious skin problem and had gone to many big hospitals seeking treatment, but she had gotten no improvement. In order to treat her disease, she had to shave her hair and her husband wanted to divorce her. She was devastated. Later on she started to practice Falun Dafa and her skin disease was completely cured. She and her husband got on well again, like before, and she was once again happy.
When the evil forces began to suppress Falun Dafa and persecute practitioners in 1999, there were all kinds of rumors and slander in the newspapers and televisions every day. Work units in China read the newspapers every day and conveyed the documents from higher authorities. Practitioners were monitored, and Falun Dafa books and tapes were confiscated. All of a sudden people were discussing and following the TV messages, saying bad things about Falun Dafa. I had more or less read the Dafa books and heard my mother-in-law always saying that Dafa is for cultivating people's xinxing (2) and following "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" to become a better person. I saw that the book says that cultivators can't participate politics, are not allowed to take any life, let alone commit suicide. So, I never believed what the TV and newspapers said. When people were arguing, saying that Falun Dafa was not good, I would speak up and disagree with them. I told them what I read from the book. At home, when the TV showed the propaganda against Falun Gong, I would change the channel or turn the TV off.
My brother died suddenly two years ago. At the beginning of last year my sister-in-law found out that she had uremia. The hospital diagnosed it as late stage uremia. She came home from the hospital and her spirit completely collapsed. One night I suddenly thought about Falun Gong and called my sister-in-law at dawn, and I suggested that she practice Falun Gong as soon as possible. She said over the phone, "I will take your advice, and I will seriously practice Falun Gong."
After only about four days of practicing, she could sit up by herself and she was in much better spirits. About ten days later, her arm bled one night in the middle of the night and completely soaked the bedding. There was also blood on half of the floor. Her son was so frightened that he trembled uncontrollably. Because it was the middle of the night, people found a relative of a doctor in a Chinese Medicine hospital to handle this condition. Everyone agreed that my sister-in-law needed a blood transfusion since she had anemia on top of the uremia. So she had a blood test to determine her hemoglobin level and they found that it was normal. Everybody felt this was strange and suspected that it was a wrong reading. However, the result of the second test was still normal, so my sister-in-law went home. She didn't feel uncomfortable, either.
Two months later, my sister-in-law's illness was almost cured. She could once again do housework, including the cooking. She studied the teachings of Falun Dafa and practiced the exercises every day. The changes in her made it so clear to her family members that it was Falun Dafa that saved her life. All the neighbors also witnessed that a person close to death had gotten well by practicing Falun Dafa. So several other people who were ill came to her place to learn Falun Gong.
Now, her big yard is a practice site. Every morning for two hours, more than 20 people stand in rows and practice the exercises, accompanied by the exercise music. The scene is both serene and magnificent. They met every day and the group was still growing. People from the surrounding area have all come to know that Falun Dafa is great.
This event shook me a great deal. Falun Dafa is so vast and mysterious. My mother-in-law said I could read the Dafa books if I have time, and she gave me two books. It was surprising that this time I could not put down Zhuan Falun once I started reading. I felt regret that I hadn't read this book with my heart earlier. When I finished the entire book, I regretted it even more and felt that I was very fortunate to obtain it now.
Whenever I think of Teacher, who has made great efforts and sacrifices to save people, my tears fall uncontrollably. Although I am only a beginner in the cultivation of Falun Dafa, I will learn from other practitioners and share the truth with my co-workers and friends, to help them attain Dafa.
