(Minghui.org) I am a 67-year-old retired teacher, and I used to believe the lies about Falun Dafa.
Learning the Truth
Because of the false reports by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) controlled media, I used to believe the propaganda and lies about Falun Dafa.
When people told me the real situation regarding Falun Dafa, I would say that I was an atheist. I would ask them not to be superstitious or get into politics.
I was given a Falun Dafa DVD in 2008 that showed how the CCP framed Falun Dafa and fabricated lies against it. It also showed how the government mobilized state-run resources to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners.
I was taken aback. It was beyond my imagination that a government would be so despicable and shameless.
So many practitioners have been illegally detained, brainwashed, and tortured, and many have even been murdered for their organs by the CCP. I cried all the way through the video.
I finally understood why Falun Dafa practitioners continued practicing under such severe persecution—Falun Dafa must be good!
I then wanted to practice Falun Dafa too.
Getting to Know Falun Dafa
I managed to find a Falun Dafa practitioner in my area, and she gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun and a DVD about the practice.
She told me to disconnect the Internet before I watched the DVD and warned me that I might be arrested if I did not do so.
When I watched the DVD, I was amazed by the profound principles of Falun Dafa. The language was simple and easy to understand, and I was greatly moved.
After I finished it, I realized that I had forgotten to disconnect the Internet. I almost fainted.
Bloody images of practitioners being tortured appeared in my mind, and I felt like a police car was waiting for me outside.
I was so scared that I returned the book and DVD to the practitioner. I could not calm down until I gave back the materials. I was so afraid that I would be arrested that I decided to give up Falun Dafa and turn to forms of religion.
But I soon realized that nothing was like Falun Dafa. I eventually returned to the practice.
Power of Falun Dafa
As soon as I held Zhuan Falun in my hands again, an energy current poured down from my head to my feet, and all my discomfort and fear disappeared.
I truly witnessed the wonders of Falun Dafa, and from then on, I took Zhuan Falun everywhere I went. I spent all my spare time reading and hand copying the book.
One month after I returned to the practice, I felt that my body was very light, as if I had returned to my 20s. It was such a wonderful feeling.
I then learned the five sets of exercises, and I could feel very strong energy. It was miraculous. If I had not experienced it personally, I would not have believed it.
After I had practiced Falun Dafa for several months, all of my illnesses disappeared. It was not until then that I realized how a healthy body could make me happy.
I soon no longer complained about my life. I did not feel lonely. I no longer felt depressed or lost.
As I studied Zhuan Falun more, I came to understand that Falun Dafa is not only to treat illnesses and keep fit, but to elevate people's moral standards.
Falun Dafa has become a fundamental part of my of life. And whatever hardships I come across, I always remember an important teaching from Zhuan Falun: “When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.” (Zhuan Falun).
