(Clearwisdom.net) In 2004, I went on a trip to Korea. When I got off the ship, I saw a big poster saying "Global trial against Jiang Zemin." I was shocked and did not know what was going on. I read it and learned that it was Falun Gong practitioners, who were clarifying the truth.
The following several days, I saw practitioners at entrances of tourist sites and restaurants with posters and videos explaining the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution. In my hotel, I saw the Epoch Times newspaper and informational brochures. At the end of that year, I went to Hong Kong and, instead of sightseeing, I carefully read the informational materials and learned that many people had benefited from practicing Falun Gong and also that many are being tortured because of their belief.
Plus, I realized that Falun Gong teaches people to be kind by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. It is a cultivation of Buddhahood. When practitioners conduct themselves according to the standards of Dafa, Master Li Hongzhi will purify their bodies. It is not at all like what the Chinese propaganda portrayed. Such a wonderful practice is not known to Chinese people because they are deceived by the CCP regime. This is truly a shame.
One morning in March of 1997, I suddenly developed severe lumbar vertebral dislocation. I had to lay in bed for one hundred days and was truly miserable. Even after I recovered, I was still not able to do any physical work. After that, I sought all kinds of supplements to heal my back, but nothing helped. In addition, I had developed more health problems, including hypertension, high cholesterol, brain arterial sclerosis, allergic sinusitis, shoulder bursitis, and gallstones. My life was miserable and neither Chinese nor Western medicine could cure me.
After returning from Korea, I started practicing Falun Gong. When a fellow practitioner gave me Zhuan Falun, I thought to myself, "When will I be able to finish this thick book?" I put on my glasses and, after reading over ten pages, I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already daytime and it was sunny. I had not been able to sleep that soundly for the past several years, even when I took many sleeping pills. But now I had slept so well without taking medicine. This was not an ordinary book, I realized, so I sat right up to read it. I finished reading it in one day and felt Falun spinning under my eyes. When I was reading the book the second time, my glasses suddenly fell off. I picked them up and put them back on, but they kept falling off. I enlightened that Master was giving me a hint that I no longer needed glasses. Since then I have not used my glasses and I can read even fine print.
Within two months, my sister came to visit me. She suffered from long-term hypertension and had to measure her blood pressure before each meal. After she was done, she measured mine and said, "You don't have any hypertension. Your heartbeat and blood pressure are even better than those of a young person." I was shocked, because I had not expected that Master would purify my body in such a short period of time. Soon after I started to practice Falun Gong, I had an oily secretion on my skin for over six months. After that, I started sweating, which had never happened to me before. Yet, I felt very light and comfortable. One day after I got up, I noticed that half of my face was swollen and later my nose started running. One week later, the sinusitis that had bothered me my whole life finally disappeared.
I had many other experiences, but, in summary, all of my diseases disappeared. In the six years since I started practicing Falun Gong, I have not needed a single pill and I feel as if I am a completely changed person. I feel very light and energetic. Although I am 58 years old, some people think that I am 40. All these things were given to me by Dafa, and I cannot express my gratitude to Master in words.
Falun Dafa not only gave me a healthy body but also a harmonious family life.
Practicing Falun Gong has completely changed me. I am happy and treat everyone kindly, always think about others first, and am not afraid of being taken advantage of. I am able to tolerate others' shortcomings, I do all the housework and am no longer short-tempered. I also became very considerate of my husband. Although our children no longer live with us, we have a very harmonious family life. My husband is very impressed by the power and magnificence of Dafa.
Dafa has given me a new life. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Master Li Hongzhi for his compassionate salvation.
