(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Gong in 1998. I am a farmer and in my 50s.
When the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, I got scared and my cultivation was off and on. I began practicing consistently again in 2010. Master did not give up on me and has been compassionately watching over me all this time.
I would like to share how I benefited from my practice of Falun Gong.
Master Gives Me a New Face
Due to the fear of persecution and deception by the CCP propaganda, my husband had always disapproved of my raising awareness of the persecution to the public. One day, he was drunk and began throwing things around as soon as he got home. He grabbed a thermos bottle which I had just filled with boiling water and slammed it down. The bottle broke andthe scorching water splashed all over my face.
I was startled and grabbed a towel to wipe my face. A large piece of skin came off. My husband was terrified, and half awakened from his alcoholic stupor. He shouted: “Oh, no! I disfigured your face!” He called a taxi to take me to the hospital.
I calmly told him: “I will not go to the hospital. I am not disfigured. I have Master. I will be alright by just studying Fa teachings at home and exercising. Do not worry.”
My husband was scared out of his wits, “Whatever you want to do, just do it. I will no longer disturb you...” He went out that night to purchase some ointment for burns and wanted to apply it to my face. I refused. During the struggle, the ointment bottle fell to the ground and broke. He was upset but dared not lose his temper anymore. He cleaned the mess up and no longer forced me to apply the ointment.
He also purchased some antibiotics for me. In order to ease his mind, I told him to put it on the table and I would take it later. Of course, I never touched it.
Except for a small area at the end of the ear, my whole face was burnt. But I did not feel the pain, nor did I ever think about how badly I was burnt. I knew Master bore most of my suffering. I knew Master protected me.
Several days later, a layer of scabs began to grow on my face. I took a look at the mirror – my entire face was dark! It was scary to look at myself. I tried my best not to let it bother me. I wondered where did I have a loophole that the old force took advantage of and persecuted me this way.
Master told us:
“What’s happening is that the cosmos is going through Fa-rectification. [What is taking place in] the human world is merely how low-level beings act when gigantic cosmic bodies are being impacted by the Fa-rectification. What could human beings possibly do to divine beings? If there were no outside factors, would human beings dare to do anything to divine beings? How human society unfolds is nothing but the outcome of high-level beings controlling things.” (“In Fa-Rectification Your Thoughts Have to Be Righteous, Not Human,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress III)
I realized that this was a contest between righteousness and evil. I could not go out this way, so I settled my mind down and began reading Fa teachings one after another.
Twenty days later, I felt itchy on my face. Some scabs fell with just a light touch. I slowly and gently peeled off the scabs. Wow! I had no scars! My face was renewed! I appeared younger with tender and fairer skin!
I showed my husband: “Look, you did not disfigure me! I appeared younger with a better complexion. Master gave me a new face! Look at your big scar from the motorcycle exhaustion pipe. What a difference Dafa can make!”
He did not say anything, but from his expression, he surely was amazed by Falun Dafa’s healing power!
From that point on, he no longer keeps me from studying Fa teachings or exercising.
Mother-in-law’s Story
My mother-in-law was sickly ever since I knew her. After I started practicing Falun Gong, I told her to say the phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and they would help her. She often replied: “Oh, I am old. I lived long enough. Don’t worry about me.”
One day, she told me that there was a growth inside her nose. She received some treatment at a clinic but it did not work. Later on, she had a hard time opening her mouth, and it affected her food intake. I told her that she might need to go to a better hospital to check it out. She refused, worrying it would cost too much money.
After dinner that night, I went to her room and sincerely asked her to say the two phrases with me. I told her that I did not want to see her suffer and just wanted her to be healthy again. This time, she did not refuse and repeated the phrases after me. I told her to recite these phrases whenever she wanted.
I went to work early the next day. When I returned, she delightfully told me that she no longer needed to go to the hospital – the growth inside of her nose was gone! From that day on, whenever I got up in the morning and did the exercises, I could hear her reciting the phrases over and over.
She became healthier and healthier by the day. How I wish others can be as lucky as my mother-in-law, to learn the truth of Dafa and be blessed and protected.
