(Minghui.org) I am sixty years old and have been practicing Falun Dafa for nearly 18 years. The practice has transformed me inside and out, and has led me on a journey of cultivation to return to my original, true self. I am extremely grateful to Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, for His immense mercy.
Cultivation in Falun Dafa Changed My Ingrained Beliefs
I grew up in China, so I have been educated to not believe in Gods. It did not help that my job revolves around the empirical science of Western medicine. I was rather unfamiliar with the concept of Gods and Buddhas, but had a shallow understanding that qigong was good for one’s health. However, I had no idea whether other dimensions existed. All this changed after I began practicing Falun Dafa. Having experienced some supernormal phenomena and the wonders of Dafa, a lot of my ingrained beliefs fell by the wayside.
Master said:
“Someone asked, “Teacher, what’s happened to me? While walking, I feel like I’m leaving the ground. I also feel like I’m levitating while sleeping at home. Even my blankets take off like a balloon.”” (Lecture Eight, Zhuan Falun)
I had this exact wonderful experience just when I started the practice. It was during the day, I laid down on the sofa to take a rest. As soon as I laid down, my body started to float upwards. It started from my feet, then my legs and my back and soon my whole body was standing straight up on the sofa. It was as if I was doing a handstand with only my shoulders and head touching the sofa. As I felt my shoulders starting to pull upward as well, I got scared and quickly held onto the sofa and sat up. When I tried to lay down again, I levitated again. I realized it was happening because my Great Heavenly Circuit had been opened. It was so real, so wonderful, exactly as it has been described in the book by Master.
There was another incident that also occurred when I just started practicing. It was in the quiet of the night, as I laid down and put my head on the pillow, I suddenly heard the beating of my heart. It was a series of rhythmic beats, four beats at a time. I was very surprised. According to medical science, we have four valves in our heart that continually open and close one by one, making the four rhythmic sounds in cycles. But these sounds can only be heard through a stethoscope, to the ordinary ear one could only hear one beat from the heart. I was amazed at what I could hear. I asked a fellow practitioner about this. I was told it was happening because my ears were opened and had the ability of clairaudience.
Master Protected Me and My Family When We Recited “Falun Dafa is Good”
When I was driving home after work one day, I stopped to have my engine oil changed. Not long after I started driving, I found the breaks were not working. It was during the evening rush hour; my car was only a few meters away from the car in front of me. It would be very dangerous if we had to brake for a red light. I went blank for a second then shouted out, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Master, please help me!” Suddenly, I spotted a road I could turn right onto. I took the turn which led me to a parking lot in a shopping center and right then I was helped by a force to push the gear shifter into park and stopped the car. Master saved me!
Witnessing my amazing changes, my husband is very supportive of my practice. He withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Youth League and Young Pioneers when the quit the CCP campaign first started. He has been blessed as a result. For instance, when he had appendicitis and an accompanied fever, being very weak he laid in bed listening to the Dafa music of Pudu and recited in his mind “Falun Dafa is good.” He recovered in just over a week.
I have tried clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa to my brother in China. I haven’t been able to persuade him to quit the CCP no matter how hard I’ve tried in the last few years. He hasn’t been able to distinguish the CCP from China. Also, he was the Party secretary in his company. He often told me his health was not good and he made frequent visits to the hospital. Once when I called him, he told me he had again been diagnosed as having fluid in his brain which was affecting his speech. I told him to sincerely recite, “Falun Dafa is good.” He listened to me this time and agreed to quit the CCP. He also decided to retire because he did not want to be a Party secretary anymore. He soon recovered from his health woes.
There are just too many cultivation stories to tell. I am so very proud to have become a Falun Dafa cultivator. My heart is filled with gratitude to Master. Thank you, Master!
