(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in October, 1998. Before that, I was weak and sick and took medication nearly every day for 13 years. I could not sleep, had no appetite, and developed amnesia after getting injections of streptomycin for several months. My health was almost completely ruined!
Falun Dafa Gave Me a New Lease on Life
In October 1998, I noticed a group of people doing exercises in a park. I joined them and learned Falun Dafa's five exercises. When I was doing the second one, I felt something heavy pulling my hands down. Because I was always interested in spiritual things, I realized that Falun Dafa must be a righteous way; otherwise, beings from other dimensions would not try to disturb me.
I also joined a Fa study group at a practitioner's home. I soon recovered from the intestinal tuberculosis, muscle degeneration, and rheumatism that had plagued me for years. I became free of illnesses!
After seeing the positive changes in me, some of my colleagues also began practicing.
Clarifying the Truth to Company Executives
In July 1999, my company's executives talked to me about Falun Dafa. I was glad to have a chance to tell them about the persecution.
I said, “All of you know how bad my health was before I began practicing Falun Dafa, right? For over 10 years I went to several hospitals and spent over 100,000 yuan on medical fees. I also had to take repeated sick leave and stay home.
“After I began practicing Falun Dafa, I became free of illnesses, and my bad temper is gone. Whenever there's a disagreement, I always look inside to see where I'm at fault. I'm considerate of my colleagues and no longer compete for a better position. Do not believe the propaganda criticizing Falun Dafa that you see on TV. ”
They smiled and asked me to show them how to do the exercises. They said that they would like to practice after they retired.
My supervisors knew that Falun Dafa was being unjustly slandered by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). When the 610 Office contacted them, they refused to report me.
Clarifying the Truth to Coworker's Family Members
In 2003, I was transferred to the financial division, which gave me more opportunities to meet people and clarify the truth to them.
I visited the family housing area every morning to see if anyone needed help. I talked to people about Falun Dafa and encouraged them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
When some people complained, I looked inward to see where I could improve my xinxing.
I remembered Master's words:
“In the process of cultivating, we’re practitioners, so we need to give up so many attachments, like showing off, jealousy, competitiveness, being overjoyed—a whole lot of attachments have to be totally eliminated.” (Zhuan Falun)
In the process of examining myself, I noticed I had a strong attachment to fighting. If someone had a different opinion, I would not listen to what they had to say.
One day during a meeting of over 100 colleagues, a manager started to criticize my work. He said that some of the employees in the area I was responsible for were gambling and that this affected our company's public image. However, the incident occurred before I was in charge of that area.
If I were not a practitioner, I probably would not have endured his insults and would have found a way to fight back. As a practitioner, I knew I must follow a higher standard. Master said:
“Maybe later on you’ll be slapped in the face a couple times in front of the very person you least want to lose face around, and that’s to humiliate you, to see how you handle it, and to see whether you can endure it. Maybe you can endure it but you can’t get it off your mind. That’s not good enough. You know, when a person reaches the Arhat level he’s not fazed by anything he comes across. He’s not the least bit concerned about any human things and he’s always upbeat. It doesn’t matter how much he loses out, he’s upbeat and doesn’t mind.” (Zhuan Falun)
Although I knew it must be a good thing and gave me an opportunity to improve my xinxing, I still felt it was hard to pass this test. I kept reciting:
“It’s hard to endure, but you can endure it. It’s hard to do, but you can do it.” (Zhuan Falun)
I calmed down, and later this colleague apologized for what he said.
Woman Recovers from Stroke in Three Days
The wife of a fellow employee, Mr. Zhu, had a stroke and was taken to a hospital emergency room. I prepared some dumplings, and my husband and I visited them.
Mr. Zhu wept and said, “She may die. She is now incontinent and has not been able to eat or drink anything.”
I said, “Do not think that way.” I told his family how I had benefitted from practicing Falun Dafa and reciting, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
To our surprise, Mr. Zhou's wife suddenly opened her mouth, so I offered her dumplings and water. She said sadly, “A dying woman cannot eat.” I said, “You must eat something.”
When I asked her to open her mouth again, she seemed to understand what I said and ate three dumplings. The next day, Mr. Zhu called me to report that his wife was able to eat everything.
Three months later, Mr. Zhu and his wife visited me at work. I then offered them a copy of Falun Dafa's main book, Zhuan Falun.
Three days after she began studying the Fa, Mr. Zhu's wife noticed a child running outside. She thought how wonderful it would be if she could run like that. Then, miraculously, she was able to walk--and run! When she phoned her husband and told him what had happened, Mr. Zhu could hardly believe it.
That day they prepared some delicious food and waited for me in front of my apartment. As soon as I came out, they cried and thanked me for letting them know about Falun Dafa. I told them that it was Master Li who helped his wife.
Everyone in our entire company soon heard about her miraculous recovery!
