(Clearwisdom.net) I was so fortunate to first encounter and begin the practice of Falun Dafa in March 2005. I am a new practitioner who has cultivated for about three months. Benevolent Master has eradicated my illnesses and given me a second life since I started the practice.
I am 65 years old and live in the Chuanying District of Jilin City. 2004 was the most miserable year of my life. One morning in May 2004, I suddenly could not speak and was diagnosed with a hemorrhage in the brain. I was hospitalized for more than 20 days before my condition stabilized. Due to financial hardship, I could not afford the exorbitant medical expenses. I was discharged from the hospital before I was fully recovered. In December, I had a severe heart attack due to high blood pressure and was hospitalized again. Further diagnosis indicated that I had brain cavity occlusion. I was hospitalized for half a month, and was again discharged early because I could not afford the medical expenses.
The two hospitalizations cost me more than 20,000 yuan, and I needed to take a handful of pills each day. I suffered life-threatening conditions as my heart condition deteriorated steadily. My family worried about my well being every day. The situation worsened when I suffered side effects from the medications. I lost all hope and cried every day.
2005 is the most fortunate year in my life. On March 27, a local Falun Dafa practitioner came to visit and introduced me to the practice. I learned about the persecution of Falun Dafa and that the purported self-immolation on Tiananmen Square, as well as the so-called "killings," were all lies fabricated by Jiang's regime to deceive people. Dafa teaches people to be kind and good. There have been outstanding improvements in people's health when they started the practice. After I learned the truth, I knew that I had found something more valuable than gold! I was so relieved, and I knew I could be saved. I made up my mind that I will cultivate Falun Dafa for the rest of my life. The practitioner gave me the treasured book Zhuan Falun, Master's exercise teaching video and VCDs, lecture tapes, truth clarification VCDs, and other valuable books and materials. My husband and I eagerly started learning the Fa and doing the exercises everyday. In order to study the Fa and do the exercises well, we bought a television and VCR. From then on, I stopped taking the pills and no longer use the blood pressure gauge. In less than three months after I obtained the Fa, my health fully recovered. Friends who knew me were very surprised, and they all complemented me on my uplifted spirit. Now I can pretty much do all the chores around the house. I walk briskly and do not feel tired even after walking five or six miles. My miraculous recovery has made me truly appreciate the good in Dafa.
Master gave me a new lease on life and a bright new future. I cannot express my gratitude to Master in any language. I can only study the Fa diligently and follow Master's requirement to cultivate diligently. I will tell this world with a voice emanating from my heart that Falun Dafa gave me a second life. I will safeguard and promote Dafa with my life. I will tell others about my experience in cultivating Dafa, that "Falun Dafa is good," and that "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance" is good.
