180-Degree Turn

Mr. Wan Yunlin has practiced Falun Dafa for 21 years. Before that, he used to follow the stock markets very closely and was exhausted, weak, and sickly. He said there would be two nights each week where he would almost die from being out of breath in his sleep. A few months after he started practicing Falun Dafa, all of his ailments disappeared.

Mr. Wan Yunlin shares his experience of self-cultivation.

After studying the Falun Dafa principles regarding loss and gain, Yunlin realized that whoever gains more than they deserve must trade virtue for it. He no longer indulges in desires for fame and fortune.

Yunlin is the chief officer of the Association of Go in Taoyuan. He used to get into conflicts with other associations as he competed for more students. After he began cultivating in Falun Dafa, Yunlin looked inward for his own faults and let go of his attachments. His relationships with other people became harmonious. The parents of the Go students also learned about the benefits of Falun Dafa through Yunlin’s behavior. One of the parents, a city council member, attended a Falun Dafa Day celebration and gave a supportive speech. Yunlin's family is also very supportive of his cultivation.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Yunlin would like to say, “Thank you, Master! I’m determined to cultivate myself well and never let down Master’s compassionate salvation!”

Finding the Right Direction

Mr. Fan Dezheng has practiced Falun Dafa for two years. He said both his health and spirit have improved markedly. His wife died from breast cancer nine years ago, and his health slid downhill because he stopped taking care of himself. He lost almost 30 pounds and had serious insomnia, a compromised immune system, and he had to rely on sleeping pills and anti-depressants. He went to a family union in Russia recently and many of his family members came down with fevers, but Dezheng only suffered minor symptoms, which went away after he did the Falun Dafa exercises.

His sister-in-law was diagnosed with a breast tumor in early 2017, but she started to practice Falun Gong and her tumor disappeared. She suggested Dezheng try Falun Gong as well. Dezheng was in tears the first time he watched the video of Master’s lecture. “When I heard Master’s compassionate voice, I felt it was so familiar,” he said. “I felt I had found the destination of my life and direction for my spirit.”

Mr. Fan Dezheng is grateful to Master for guiding him in the right direction.

Soon after Dezheng started to practice Falun Dafa, his health was completely restored. He became energetic and didn’t need medication anymore. His relationship with his children also improved.

He said he used to be calculating and short-tempered when dealing with customers, but the Falun Dafa principles have changed him into a tolerant and easy-going person. Many problems he comes across are resolved easily after he changes his mentality.

Blessed After Letting Go of Resentment

Ms. Chen Liyan was having a hard time 18 years ago. She was depressed and had a duodenal ulcer and insomnia. She ran into a friend who introduced her to Falun Dafa. One month after she started practicing Falun Dafa, all of her illnesses were gone.

Ms. Chen Liyan recounts how her life improved after she started to practice Falun Dafa.

From the Falun Dafa principles, Liyan learned that everything in life happens for a reason. She stopped complaining about her misfortune and worked conscientiously and became more altruistic. Her contributions were recognized by her employers, and she was the first person promoted when a position became available. Her supervisor and many of her colleagues learned about Falun Dafa through her and signed petitions calling for an end to the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution.

Seeing how healthy and happy their mother had become, Liyan’s two daughters have been very supportive of Liyan’s cultivation. “The best joy in my life is cultivating in accordance with Dafa. It’s such a blessing. I thank Master for his salvation. I’m determined to do the three things well and return to my true origin,” she said.

'Whooping Cough' Dispersed by Positive Energy

Ms. Chen Qijia has practiced Falun Dafa since April 2006. She had been diagnosed with cancer and had to go through surgery prior to practicing Falun Dafa. She had looked pale, had poor health, and always coughed when the seasons changed. Her colleagues gave her the nickname “Whooping Cough.” Practicing Falun Dafa made her a healthy woman with rosy cheeks. She has not needed to see a doctor for any illnesses since 2006. “Master has given me a healthy life,” she said.

Her children used to be weak and had to go to a doctor almost every week. After they started practicing Falun Dafa with their mom, they became healthy, patient and thoughtful.

Qijia used to be an introvert. She had refused to talk to a friend for six months after they had an argument. The Falun Dafa principles have changed her completely. She is forgiving and humble. When she had to relocate to another department, her former colleagues really missed her. They appreciated her positive attitude and selflessness. Qijia had shared her understanding of Dafa principles with her colleagues who had negative thoughts. One of her colleagues wrote to her, “Every time you comforted me with your positive energy, I immediately felt better.”
