(Minghui.org) Many medical practitioners around the world have practiced Falun Dafa, a profound ancient self-cultivation practice. Cultivating Dafa not only promotes health and peacefulness, but also allows them to understand the true meaning of life and how to better help others.
New Horizons in Life
Dr. Huang Chian-Feng, 37, is director of the Department of Psychiatry at Miaoli County Hospital under the Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare. He is a kind and talented physician.

More than 20 years ago, Dr. Huang was a student at Jianguo High School in Taipei. Every day, he thought about how to win the International Olympia Mathematics Competition. However, a book unexpectedly opened up new horizons in his life.
One day during art class, Dr. Huang saw a copy of Zhuan Falun in the classroom bookcase. Out of curiosity, he borrowed it and finished reading the entire book in two days. Dr. Huang said, “I seemed to wake up suddenly, and found that my horizons had been opened up. After the second reading, I understood that Falun Dafa is a powerful self-cultivation practice, and not just qigong or a special power.”
Due to his fierce competitiveness, Dr. Huang often appeared emotionally tense and displayed a strong attachment to gain and loss in his high school years. Enlightened after reading Zhuan Falun, he let go of his desire to eclipse everyone in academic grades, and his mind became as calm and clear as a sleeping lake. His life seemed to have turned around in a good way. “My understanding and concentration were greatly enhanced, and I was happier and more relaxed when reading books,” he said.
Dr. Huang diligently practiced the Falun Dafa exercises early every morning outside the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall despite the heavy pressure to prepare for the united college entrance examination. He said, “While I was sore all over my body doing the second exercise, ‘Falun Standing Stance,’ I persisted to the end. One day, a stream of warm energy current flew through my body from the head down, making me feel cool and refreshed.”
Dr. Huang usually reads two or three lectures from Zhuan Falun and practices the exercises before bedtime every day. “I often felt like I was being watched by all lives in the universe while doing the meditation,” he said, “I know that Master [Li, the founder of Falun Dafa] is by my side.” Blessed by Dafa, Dr. Huang became more focused in his studies and his academic grades got better. He was admitted to the Department of Medicine of Yangming University.
Clarifying the Truth in Medical Communities
When Dr. Huang was in college, the news about the forced organ harvesting from living Falun Dafa practitioners by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) broke out. He was shocked and wondered what he could do. He used to listen to lectures given by doctors in various specialities in his classes. One day at the end of a class, Dr. Huang mustered up the courage to tell the professor about the crimes of the CCP in persecuting Falun Dafa and the CCP's harvesting of Dafa practitioners’ organs.
Years later, Dr. Huang came across the same professor in the Veterans General Hospital where he was doing his internship. The professor recognized him and remembered what he had said long ago. Dr. Huang was so moved, and understood the reason he was to become a physician – he has been obligated to fulfill a higher mission.
In 2012, Dr. Huang joined the Organ Transplantation Care Association. He and other Falun Dafa practitioners started to tell the facts about Dafa to their colleagues in the medical field at annual conferences around the world.
Dr. Huang said, “I have told groups of healthcare professionals that my strong wish of helping people comes from the bottom of my heart. Not only did they sign a petition of support [against the persecution and the forced organ harvesting], but they also asked me what else they could do. Some doctors asked for informational videos and played them to their patients in the hospital.”

Dr. Huang and fellow practitioners have contacted tens of thousands of medical professionals over the years to raise awareness about the crime of live organ harvesting by the CCP. They have also urged the government and international organizations to pay attention to and stop the brutal persecution.
Illustrating Health Effects of Dafa With Medical Knowledge
As a psychiatrist, Dr. Huang has seen many depressed patients every day. He shares with his patients the importance of letting go of bad thoughts and replacing them with positive thoughts. He said that those stressful negative thoughts would eventually cause physical symptoms such as headaches, chest tightness, palpitations, and general discomfort.
Dr. Huang started to study for a doctorate in epidemiology and preventive medicine in 2013. He explored the relationship between human health and qigong practices from a professional perspective. From the 152 cases he analyzed with Dr. Dong Yuhong, they found that practicing Falun Dafa could prolong the survival time of terminal cancer patients. This paper was published at the annual conference of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).
From his own experiences, Dr. Huang believes that practicing Falun Dafa can significantly increase immune cell activities and improve quality of life. He said, “After practicing Falun Dafa, my immunity has been greatly enhanced, and my frequent colds diminished. I feel calm and less distracted. My sleep and mood have become very stable. Although Falun Dafa is not practiced specifically for curing diseases, it can truly improve health at a cellular level, which contributes to healing the mind and body.”
Practicing Dafa to Benefit the Whole Family
Dr. Huang was promoted from attending physician to department director in 2023. He has now become busier with clinical and administrative work. But he keeps up with studying Falun Dafa and practicing the exercises to maintain a compassionate attitude in his daily work.
Even under such busy circumstances, Dr. Huang also tries to be a good husband and father. One time, his wife fell seriously ill and was bedridden in pain for several days. He had to feed and bathe her. He asked himself how he would handle things if his wife’s condition did not improve. Then Master Li’s Fa teaching appeared in his mind.
Master said,
“Not only are there moral obligations for human beings, but also, a husband and wife are indebted to each other. When a woman has put her whole life in a man’s hands, he should realize, “This woman has entrusted her whole life to me. I have to be responsible for her.”” (“Fa Teaching Given at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific Practitioners,”Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume VI)
Dr. Huang understood that he is obligated to take care of his wife no matter what the future holds because she has entrusted her whole life to him. As soon as this thought came up, his mind became clear. Miraculously, his wife then recovered quickly as well. Dr. Huang always looks inward when he encounters any problem, including conflicts with his wife.
They often discuss the upbringing of their children. Dr. Huang and his wife noticed that the children would exactly mimic the behavior of their parents. When they were dissatisfied or not considerate of each other, the children copied the behaviors they witnessed in their parents. Their children would become gentle and obedient when Dr. Huang and his wife let go of things and were considerate of each other.
