(Minghui.org) Before I started practicing Falun Dafa, I was interested in qigong, divination, acupuncture, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. In my spare time, I often went to temples to explore different cultivation ways. I had read many books and thought I was very knowledgeable.
I eventually made up my mind to study the Tao and went to the Qianshan Taoist Temple. After spending some time there, I left disappointed.
While I was waiting for a train at Anshan Train Station, I bought the main text of Falun Dafa, Zhuan Falun, at a booth. I read the book and felt it was a high-level cultivation practice, but I did not start practicing since I was only focused on Taoism.
One day, my son confided, “Dad, I am too dizzy to go to school.” I thought he had caught a cold and did not think much of it. However, he was still very dizzy three days later. I thought something was wrong and went to ask a Falun Dafa practitioner I knew. He said that I could try and ask Master Li Hongzhi (the founder of the practice) for help.
I replied that I did not practice Dafa and questioned if Master Li would really help me. “Master Li is the most merciful,” he said. “As long as you and your child practice Falun Dafa, he will help.”
When I returned home, my child and I bowed in front of Master Li's photo in the book. Immediately afterward, my son threw up and said, “Dad, my head is fine now. I don't feel dizzy anymore and can go to school.”
He had not eaten anything for a few days, but he happily went to school that day without any problem. Yet, after witnessing my son's remarkable recovery, I did not want to practice Falun Dafa because I still wanted to practice Taoism.
A month later, I experienced extreme chest pain. The pain was unbearable when I rolled over in bed. I went to the hospital and was told that I had developed severe pneumonia. I received treatment for 15 straight days without any improvement.
Then one morning, I had blood in my urine and could not stand up straight or squat. My head felt like it was being cut by knives, and my waist felt like it was tightly tied with big ropes. I went to see a doctor and was told that I had a urinary tract infection. I was surprised since I had been getting an IV drip with an antibiotic for more than 15 days, so how could I get infected?
I got a CT scan the next day and was diagnosed with an acute kidney stone disorder. A Chinese medical doctor suggested that I take some herbs, while a Western doctor suggested surgery or laser lithotripsy. However, the treatments would not completely cure the disorder, as the stones could recur.
Perplexed with my situation, I went to talk to the same practitioner. He suggested that I start practicing Falun Dafa.
I decided to give the practice a try and went to a group exercise site the next day. While I was doing the second standing exercise, I felt something shining brightly in front of my forehead. I opened my eyes and saw a big golden Buddha statue sitting on top of a practitioner's head in front of me. I enlightened that Master was encouraging me to persevere in doing the exercises.
After I finished doing all five sets of exercises that day, I realized that my body was no longer in pain. Since then, I have stopped taking medicine.
I got a physical three months later and was told that the kidney stones were completely gone. The doctor said it was a miracle. Besides the stones being gone, all of my other illnesses like severe gastritis, neurasthenia, and a respiratory tract disorder disappeared. I was energetic and healthy again!
Falun Dafa requires practitioners to be good people by following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and improving their moral character. I have benefited much from the practice. I am not only healthy, but look younger than my peers, and my home environment is harmonious. I have also been selected as a model worker for many consecutive years.
I thank Master Li and Falun Dafa.
