(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa, an ancient spiritual discipline also known as Falun Gong, has been known for its miraculous healing power. I am a 70-year-old primary care physician that started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. I would like to attest to the extraordinariness of Dafa with my personal physical changes.
I was born in a village in the early 1950s. I often got sick when I was little and had multiple health issues, including intractable headaches, irregular menstruation, a distended abdomen, constipation, motion sickness, cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, and myocarditis.
Most seriously, when I became a physician, the cells of my connective tissues became impaired and I was in pain all over, including my muscles and joints. I had back pain all day long. I didn’t feel like doing anything but lie down and not move. My hands and feet were cold, especially in the winter. I tried all kinds of medications, but none worked.
In 1996, my sister gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, but I did not take it seriously. At that time, I was still poisoned by atheism and did not believe that qigong could cure diseases. I only read a page or two occasionally.
In May 1998, my pains got so severe that I had to search for other treatments outside of medicine. I started to practice the Falun Dafa exercises and study the Fa with fellow practitioners.
As soon as I started doing the exercises, I felt surrounded by a large energy field. I had never felt so warm and comfortable before. All of a sudden, I realized that this exercise was really good for me!
A few days later, I was invited to watch the lecture videos by Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa. I never missed one. The more I listened, the more I liked it. Master looked so compassionate and had a soothing voice. Although I could not remember what Master said, I understood that he wanted us to cultivate our character in accordance with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and become better people.
I learned that Dafa teaches people to be considerate. I would not fight back when insulted or scolded. I would practice diligently and return to my original true self. I also learned that Dafa could help me maintain fitness and cure diseases.
Even though the persecution started a year later, I continued to cultivate. With Master’s protection, I have endured countless ordeals and walked my path up to today.
I was enlightened by Dafa that people’s sufferings are related to karma they have accumulated life after life. I must eliminate the karma before I can return to my original true self.
Master said,
“I will purify your body. The body purification will be done only for those who come to truly learn the practice and the Fa.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
In my cultivation, Master purified my body many times and eliminated my sickness karma. I recovered from serious ailments without taking any medicine. Such miracles cannot be explained by modern medicine.
I’d like to share a few stories to show just how extraordinary Falun Dafa is.
Not long after I started practicing Dafa, I came down with a high fever—as high as 103°F. I hurt all over. The next day I started to cough and bring up a lot of phlegm. My husband, who was also a physician, thought that I might have pneumonia. I assured him that I was a practitioner and Master was cleansing my body.
Coincidentally, the fever started the first night of my two-day break. I ran a fever and coughed up phlegm both days. When I returned to work on the third day, my temperature was normal, and I only had a minor cough. Master not only bore the karma for me but also arranged a perfect timing for the karma elimination.
On another occasion, I had a tooth pulled, and the dentist gave me anesthesia. The next day my face was swollen and my throat was so sore that I couldn’t talk. I also had ringing in my ears and couldn’t hear anything. I sent strong righteous thoughts and asked for Master’s help. The next day, everything was normal. I could hear and my throat no longer hurt.
One time, small blisters appeared around my waist, on my abdomen, and scattered all over my body. It was the symptom of “shingles.” The pain was unbearable. Blessed by Master and helped by fellow practitioners, I recovered in 10 days. I did not take any medication and there were no side effects.
My friend, the director of the dermatology department, was stunned at how quickly I recovered without taking any drugs. He thought that it was a miracle. He had treated many people with symptoms not nearly as serious, some of whom took months to heal. They spent a lot of money and still had side effects. That pain can last for years.
I used to have serious motion sickness and always vomited even on a short ride. I took motion sickness pills whenever I got into a car.
My son later settled his family in the provincial capital about 600 miles away from us. We went to visit him after I had started to practice Dafa, and I took two motion sickness pills before we left “just to be on the safe side.” Surprisingly, I was dizzier than on any trip in the past. I threw up everything, was short of breath, and had cramps in my limbs. I felt like I was dying. I apologized to Master for not having steadfast belief in Dafa and asked him for help.
On my way home, I said Master in my heart, “Master, with your protection, I can overcome any tribulation no matter how great it is. I will endure what suffering I should, but I will never allow any evil to persecute me.” I did not take pills before our return trip, and nothing happened. Since then, I can go anywhere and don’t have any motion sickness symptoms.
I am now in my 70s. I look younger than my age, with only a few wrinkles and scattered gray hairs. I still work part-time at the hospital. I am so lucky to have Dafa in my life. If it were not for Dafa and Master, I would have been incapacitated or even dead already.
To live up to Master’s expectations, I will cultivate diligently and awaken more people. Many thanks to Master for your compassion.
