(Minghui.org) I am honored to have been practicing Falun Dafa for more than twenty years. With wisdom, kindness, and perseverance bestowed by Master, and Master’s compassionate protection, I have been able to overcome tribulations, and steadily walk the path of cultivation.
To repay Master’s compassion, I would like to share my own cultivation stories that confirm the boundless power of Falun Dafa.
I was a fragile person while growing up, who suffered severe headaches, coughing, and stomach pain. As an adult, I developed several health problems including dysmenorrhea, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), colitis, proctitis, and cardiac arrhythmia, and was frequently in and out of the hospital. I had to watch what I ate, felt weak, and had swollen limbs and heavy legs.
The endless torment made me pessimistic, and caused me to lose hope in life. I was easily irritated.
Fortunately, I began practicing Falun Dafa in June 1999. Shortly afterwards, I experienced symptoms of body purification, including pus and blood in my stool, and I vomited blood and other unpleasant substances. The process eventually freed me of all the years of illness. My body returned to normal, and the dark shadows around my eyes disappeared. I could eat what I liked, and my body felt light and full of energy.
However, the brutal persecution of Falun Dafa began less than two months after I started practicing. As a new practitioner, I knew that Dafa was good. I joined other adherents in June 2000 on a trip to Beijing to peacefully appeal. We hoped to let the government know that Falun Dafa was a righteous spiritual cultivation system. However, we were intercepted when we were halfway there, and detained at a local detention center for more than a month.
While in the detention center, we decided we would again try to go to Beijing and set a date and a meeting location. However, when I arrived at the scheduled time and place, none of the others showed up. Despite this, I continued to the provincial capital.
I stayed overnight at a hotel and planned to take the train to Beijing the next day. Coincidentally, I met three other female practitioners who were also on their way to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. We decided to go together.
We met another young practitioner on the train who was telling the passengers facts about Falun Dafa, to counteract the negative propaganda the Party was spreading. He was a college student from the same town as the three practitioners. We all felt that Master had arranged for us to meet and proceed together.
We arrived at Tiananmen Square at dawn and found a place to do the sitting meditation. Another practitioner saw us and joined us. Soon, a police car drove over and arrested us, and then detained us at the Tiananmen Square Police Station.
At the police station, we all refused to cooperate with the interrogators. The college student was the first to be beaten. My name was then called and I was taken to another room for questioning. I wasn’t frightened. I asked the police to record that I was there to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa and for the right to practice my faith.
The police officers became angry. One of them hit me with a heavy book, yet I felt no pain and remained calm. Then another officer picked up a thick glass plate and pressed it against my face. The plate shattered, but I still did not feel any pain and my face was unharmed. I silently thanked Master for protecting me.
I was taken back to the room where the others were. Ten minutes later, we were released.
My family managed a department store for a period of time, which gave me many opportunities to talk with people in the neighborhood about Falun Dafa. I also actively told my relatives and friends about it. Many people understood the truth and believed in the power of the nine auspicious words: “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Many miracles happened among those people.
One day, Aunt Jiu tearfully told me that her daughter-in-law had been diagnosed with cervical cancer. I knew that Dafa could help her, so I wrote the auspicious words on a slip of paper and urged her to sincerely recite them. I also asked her to tell her son and daughter-in-law to do the same. I gave her some Dafa information booklets to read, and she happily accepted them.
Her daughter-in-law’s condition improved day by day. Later, when she went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor told her that there might have been a misdiagnosis. However, the entire family knew that Dafa had cured her.
Furthermore, one day in 2005, Aunt Jiu’s son was walking along the highway when he saw an out of control motorcyclist racing toward him at high speed. Just before the motorcycle hit him, a force pushed his back causing him to stagger a couple of steps forward. The motorcycle zoomed past and didn’t hit him. He realized that Dafa had protected him.
Aunt Jiu’s entire family developed great respect for Dafa after these experiences. Her son asks for Dafa truth-clarifying materials and CDs whenever he sees me.
Erma, in her 70s, accepted the facts about Dafa. I taught her to recite the auspicious words and she did so devotedly.
One day, I heard that Erma had suddenly become very sick and was on the verge of death. Her children had come home to prepare for her funeral. But two days later, her condition miraculously improved, which surprised everyone in her village.
When I had the opportunity to visit her, she looked healthy. She told me that she was grateful to Falun Dafa, and that her recovery was the result of sincerely reciting the auspicious words.
My nephew believes in the goodness of Dafa and supports my practice. During the years I was detained at the labor camp, he looked after my store and maintained the business without expecting any compensation. When I told him about the importance of severing ties with the Chinese Communist Party, he immediately agreed to withdraw from it and even helped me persuade his wife to do the same.
Later, they had to leave their daughter in the care of her grandfather because they were very busy with their businesses. One day, while the grandfather was preparing to bathe the girl, he filled the bathtub with hot water. Before he added the cold water, the girl jumped in and was badly burned.
The girl’s condition was so critical that the local hospital had to transfer her to a larger hospital. After my nephew and his wife arrived, they continuously chanted the auspicious words. Finally, the girl’s condition stabilized. Her wounds healed without any scars, which people considered miraculous.
After this incident, many members of their family truly believed in the power of Dafa.
Summer was a close friend of mine. When I was forced to leave home to avoid persecution in 2005, she kindly took me in, and I stayed at her house for a while.
Summer suddenly lost consciousness one morning and was unresponsive. I remained calm and kept reciting the auspicious words. I later learned that Summer had an advanced stage of cancer for which there was no treatment.
Many of her relatives gathered to discuss preparations for her funeral. Believing that Dafa could save her, and considering her kind action of taking me in, I stayed by her bedside and continued reciting the auspicious words in my heart.
She eventually regained consciousness and her eyes opened slightly. I continued reciting. After some time, she woke up, sat on the edge of the bed, and vomited black and dark red blood clots.
She fully recovered after that and became a healthy person. She continues to lead a good life. Her family also believes that her recovery was a miracle from Dafa.
