(Minghui.org) I am a 78-year-old practitioner who took up Falun Dafa in January this year after I was diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer. Falun Dafa gave me a second chance at life. Dafa is truly extraordinary and Master is magnificent!

Below I share the story of my amazing recovery.

I became very ill in November last year. I could not eat or pass urine. I had trouble walking and my left thigh was in great pain. After a thorough checkup at the hospital, I was diagnosed with late-stage prostate cancer and the cancer cells had spread to my bones. Doctors promptly carried out surgery to remove what they could.

After the operation, however, my left thigh still hurt terribly. I could not eat or sleep and kept feeling nauseous. I also had trouble passing urine. I relied on painkillers and other medication to relieve the pain. I thought of suicide as a means to end my suffering.

My niece, who is a Dafa practitioner, came to visit me when she learned about my illness. She said to me sincerely, “Dear uncle, don't despair. As long as you recite 'Falun Dafa is good,' and 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good' every day, miracles will happen.”

She told me stories about how wonderful Dafa is and got me to quit the Chinese Communist Party. Later on, she sent me tape recordings of Master's lecture in Guangzhou as well as Dafa books. I learned the exercises from her and we often read the teachings together.

Within three days, I listened to all the lectures and indeed a miracle happened. I could walk again and even managed to do household chores. My whole body felt light and I could eat and sleep. I no longer needed to take pills. I got better day by day.

I eagerly read Dafa books and did the exercises every day. I also recited the phrases my niece taught me all the time. In a short period of time, I could do the sitting meditation exercise for an hour. When I did the standing exercises, I could feel Falun rotating from my palms towards my body.

The changes to my physical body were significant. My white hair turned black and my hearing became normal. My sinus problem vanished and I had fewer wrinkles, too. Most importantly, my cancer was gone.

I went to the hospital for an MRI scan on May 13. The doctors confirmed that I had fully recovered from cancer. They were astonished at my recovery which they could not explain from the perspective of medical science.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have towards Falun Dafa and Master. I resolved to do the three things required of a Dafa practitioner. One of them is to send righteous thoughts. I got my niece to teach me and started to send righteous thoughts religiously every day.

Telling people about Falun Dafa is another important thing that Master asks his disciples to do. I told relatives and everyone I knew about my miraculous recovery from cancer. Everyone believed me after seeing my physical changes.

Through studying the Fa, I understood that karma is the cause of one's sickness. When I was ill on several occasions, I treated them as opportunities to eliminate my previous karma and consequently I managed to get through these tests. Here I would like to share about one such test.

My legs suddenly began to hurt a lot one day in June this year. The pain lasted for nearly three days. My abdomen was swollen and I could not eat or sleep. My family was very anxious and asked me to seek treatment at the hospital.

I kept reading the Fa, did the exercises, sent righteous thoughts, and recited “Falun Dafa is good.” I asked Master for help. But my mind was in constant turmoil and I did not seem to get better.

My family got a doctor to see me at home. The doctor said my condition was very serious and the cancer cells had gone beyond normal levels. As I was in great pain, I gave in and took medication. The pain worsened.

I phoned my niece and asked her to come over. She came immediately with another practitioner. I was crying in pain. She comforted me and encouraged me to be strong. Together we sent righteous thoughts. I clearly saw a golden light that went inside my brain. Instantly my body felt warm and pleasant.

Just then, my family came in. They wanted me to go to the hospital as soon as possible. However I had regained faith in Dafa and believed this was sickness karma. I told my family that I felt better and there is no need to go to the hospital. I stood up and walked a few steps. My legs stopped hurting.

I truly regret obtaining the Fa so late in life. In the past I had misgivings about Dafa due to the government's propaganda and nearly missed the opportunity to practice cultivation. Now I cherish the life Master has extended for me and resolve to be diligent in cultivation.

I will make every effort to let more people know how wonderful Dafa is so that they will not be misled by lies spread by the Communist Party.
