(Minghui.org) My wife began practicing Falun Dafa in 1995. Before the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution against Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, I supported her practice of Falun Gong. In order to help her study the Fa, I bought a VCR and a DVD player, and encouraged her to participate in Falun Dafa study classes. At that time my wife tried to persuade me to practice Falun Gong. I thought that Falun Dafa was very righteous, but I had a lot of bad habits, and I felt that I did not deserve to practice Falun Dafa.
Suffering from Diabetes
After the CCP began persecuting Falun Gong I became confused by the CCP's slanderous propaganda. I feared the persecution, and began to keep my wife from studying the Fa and doing the exercises. I also was disrespectful to Dafa.
One morning in April 2010, I felt particularly tired when I got up from bed. The next day I was very thirsty, so I drank a lot of water. Then my toes felt sore and I had leg cramps and other symptoms. It was very hard for me to climb one flight of stairs and it felt like my back would break. I also was very dizzy. I went to the field to dig up some wild vegetables and I had to lean on a tree trunk to stand up. I felt that I couldn’t stand up. I called my wife and asked her to please call the 120 emergency number to bring someone out to rescue me.
Later I went to a hospital for a check up. My blood glucose reached 17.0, the urine sugar measured four plus even on an empty stomach. Isn't this diabetes? I knew a lot of people with diabetes. They have to rely on insulin to stay alive, and use Chinese medicine to lower the blood glucose level. I did not try those methods. Instead, I treated myself with some small worldly religious practices and some folk prescriptions published in Qigong magazines and newspapers. But the disease did not get better, and instead got worse. My weight dropped from 170 Jin (1 Jin = 1.10 lbs) down to 110 Jin in four months. I had prostate problems, and urinating was strenuous. I suffered more when I drank a lot of water.
Miracles Brought by Dafa
In August 2010 my wife brought a fellow practitioner to our home who used to suffer from diabetes. She told me about her personal experiences with Falun Dafa. My wife's aunt also contacted one of my previous supervisors who had recovered from diabetes after practicing Falun Dafa. He introduced me to the beauty of Falun Dafa. The practitioner my wife brought no longer needs to wear eye glasses any more and her hair became black again after she took up the practice. She does not need to rely on insulin. In fact, she is free from illness. My superior's diabetes disappeared and his eyesight became better after practicing Dafa. Upon hearing their stories, my stubborn mind began to change. Since I'd contracted diabetes my head had been in pain, and I felt dizzy sometimes. In the evenings, I started to recite, "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" with my wife's encouragement. My head was suddenly very clear by midnight. It was like a sunny day without a cloud in the sky. I slept so well that night, something I had not experienced for many years.
Falun Dafa is really so amazing! I was so helpless and in pain, and Dafa gave me hope. After finishing work each day, I couldn't wait to read Zhuan Falun. It was the same book that I'd taken away from my wife, and today it is the best book I have ever read. I did not expect that I would read it myself. Although my wife listens to Master's lectures, reads the Fa and does the exercise every day, I had never seriously listened to them, and never picked up the book to read. Now I quiet myself down and read Lunyu without any distraction. I am very focused, and put all my attention to this book, and carefully read every single word. When I finished the first half of Chapter One, a miracle happened. A surge of heat flew around my body; it was a feeling that I had never experienced before. I understood that I was holding the true Universal Fa in my hands. This is the one true cultivation practice that I had always dreamed of for so many years. I had been looking for the true meaning of life in the Book of Changes and the eight trigrams, but the universal Dafa was right before me. I just did not realize it until now.
From then on, I began to study the Fa, do the exercises, send forth righteous thoughts, and clarify the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution and introduce Falun Gong. I also help my wife validate Dafa. The following miracles happened to me one by one not long after I began to study the Fa: my head is no longer dizzy, eyes were no longer foggy, the lumbar pain disappeared, and the symptoms of diabetes went away; my prostate problem which I suffered from for many years disappeared. Before, I always felt that there was something like a large potato moving around inside my head. That feeling is now gone. A Falun was installed by Master. I have truly felt it moving and spinning. Master has performed Guangding on me several times which is a hot energy surge pouring from the head to the whole body, whereby my body is purified
One morning, when I got up to do the sitting meditation, I suddenly felt a "click" and I knew that a layer of karma had been removed. I felt a little pain on my shoulders when it was taken off. Sometimes, if I did not wake up in the morning to send forth righteous thoughts, Master would wake me up by gently patting my pillow. Sometimes I felt the hand of a divine being reaching into my brain to wake me up. Sometimes in sitting meditation, I felt energy pouring down like a waterfall.
In short, these miracles are countless. I know Master is helping me to cleanse my body. Sometimes Master encourages me and increase my confidence in studying the Fa and doing the exercises. It is hard to express Master's care and mercy with human language. I feel deeply that Master cares and loves us more than we do ourselves.
Understanding the Real Meaning of Life
After I obtained the Fa, I sold and gave away or dumped my collections of the Book of Changes, books about the eight trigrams, classic medical books, books about martial arts, Qigong, Buddhism, Taoism, folk prescriptions, and the small worldly paths. I study the Great Law of the universe now, and I am a disciple of Master and I don't need those things. It doesn’t matter what so-called Buddha, what Dao, what deity, what demon, what party or what official—they can’t sway me. I will cultivate Master's Dafa.
I did not understand cultivation in the past, and did not know what “no second way” meant. I learned anything I could from Buddhism, Taoism, medicine, martial arts, Qigong, and other ancient systems including the eight trigrams. Now I only cultivate Falun Dafa, and recite, "Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." For me, "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" is so true. These nine characters are the song of my soul. It is Master who guided me and changed the course of my life.
If I had not obtained the Fa, I would be obsessed with thinking I was better than others. If I had not obtained the Fa, I would treasure nonsense as valuable things and I would have no resistance against the decline in morality. If I had not obtained the Fa, negativity, strife, resentment, and lust would still dominate my life, poison my soul, and destroy my body. It's Master who woke me up from the dream, cleansed me, and gave me the chance to practice cultivation and become a deity one day.
I carried a mountain of karma. I had my eyes wide open but I acted like a blind man. I could not distinguish between goodness and evil. In the maze, Master lit the way for me. I understand why I'm alive, and where I should go. I‘ve obtained the real Fa. I understand the real meaning of life.
Master, How Shall I Repay You!
Whenever I hear the song "Ode to Master's Grace," I cannot back hold my tears: "Who can understand your bitterness, who can understand your difficulty, who can understand your painstaking effort? Who can understand everything you bear?”
Master forgave my mistakes in the past, and saved me from hell; Master bears so much for us with great mercy.
Before I obtained the Fa, I heard the three words "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" every day, but I did not know the real meaning. When I began to speak the truth, and treat others in good faith, I understood the principle, "the environment changed my heart.”
I feel happiness when I treat others with a kind heart and consider others first. I often feel a surge of heat; when I can improve and let the attachment go, my heart becomes very invigorated, free and easy. Without the fetters of the heart, I felt like a deity. When I devote my life to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, I feel that my body is at one with this universe. Of course, I understand that I need to keep improving my xinxing and raise my level to understand the higher levels of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I just want to say that Falun Dafa can really change the state of one's life.
Friends and Relatives Obtain the Fa
In the New Year of 2011, I returned home from our New Year family reunion. I used this opportunity to tell my relatives about the beauty of Dafa. Now, eleven of my relatives began to practice Dafa, and twenty-six people withdrew from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. During that time, I felt the Falun in my lower abdomen rapidly rotating. I know this is the Master's blessing and encouragement.
I have a sister who does not read much. I told her that Zhuan Falun is a sacred book. So she read Zhuan Falun and treated it as a sacred book. The sacred book indeed manifested miracles to her.
My eighty-one-year-old mother had seen a real dragon when she was a child. She also had seen written characters in the heavens and she saw heavenly people playing. My mother did not go to school and cannot read. When I told her that she should recite, "Falun Dafa is good," she asked me to write down those words. Then she copied them over and over, until she can now write, "Falun Dafa is good" by herself. She also listens to Master's lectures and does the Falun Gong exercises.
Understanding the Truth of Falun Gong and Discerning the CCP's Tricks
By studying the Fa I am able to get out of any confusion. By watching the videos about the truth of Dafa, I was constantly amazed. The so-called "great, glorious and correct" CCP has used stunts and propaganda in order to deceive people all around the world. They even took Master's words out of context and distorted the principles of Falun Dafa. The Tiananmen self-immolation, so-called suicides, and the “1,400 death cases” were fabricated with false evidence by the CCP. No matter whom the CCP tries to persecute, the false evidence and fabricated crimes will be publicized everywhere through the CCP's one-party mouthpiece.
I think about how I had been deceived for so many years through the CCP's slander of Falun Dafa via its state-controlled TV, radio, newspapers and party meetings. I was deluded by the CCP 's vile lies so much so that I gradually lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong, until I was unknowingly standing with the CCP. This is the CCP's evil brainwashing of all Chinese people. The CCP is deceiving people all over the world.
Before reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party I knew that the CCP was bad. But after reading the book, I realized that its evilness is beyond my imagination. Looking at my China now, I see that the moral level has sunk so low with corrupted officials so rampant, and protests breaking out one after another. There are non-stop natural and man-made disasters, with toxic food everywhere, and countless good people being persecuted.
The CCP is the biggest source of pollution, and the root cause of the real social instability. It is the truly the biggest drug lord, the largest evil organization which seeks to destroy all of humanity. It has slaughtered eighty million Chinese citizens and brainwashed the Chinese people with atheism and the ideology of “lies, cruelty and violence.” It has destroyed traditional Chinese culture, and ruined social morality. It has launched movements one after another to persecute innocent people, manufactured false stories to defame Falun Dafa, and is carrying out forced organ harvesting from my fellow practitioners for profit for themselves and the Army. All of these vile things expose the CCP's evil nature.
Evil will never win over a righteous faith, or conscience, when it is devoid of truth. It is heaven's will that the CCP will be eliminated.
Falun Dafa has now spread to over one hundred countries and regions in the world. Practitioners have improved their health and morality, and uplifted their spiritual wellbeing. Countless people have benefited from Dafa. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance has touched millions of people’s hearts. I am very proud to have become a disciple of Master Li. I often ask myself: “Who I am? I am a Falun Dafa disciple. Who is my Master? My Master is the compassionate great Buddha who created the universe.” I’ve found the real Fa. I cannot express my happiness and my gratitude for Master's mercy using human language.
I respect Master! I believe Master! I thank Master!
