(Minghui.org) I am 83 years old, a retired teacher. I am healthy and energetic and live a good life. I am deeply grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation.

I was sickly when I was born and although I survived, I continued to be in poor health. Two fortune tellers said that I would not live past 59. 

I had a serious illness in middle school. When I passed out my mother thought I had died. A Chinese medicine doctor treated me and I turned around.

As an adult I developed many illnesses: heart disease, kidney problems, depression, stroke, right-side paralysis, and Meniere’s syndrome. I thought it was awful, the amount of medications I took. I was irritable and did not get along with my in-laws. I lost all hope in life. 

I was fortunate to came across Falun Dafa in February 1997. Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, purified my body after 18 days of practicing. I threw up and had diarrhea all night. The vomit was like thick phlegm and foul-smelling. From then on, all my illnesses were gone! I felt the joy of being illness free for the first time in my life!

I live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I learned to let go of the competitive mentality and resentment. I also began to treat my in-laws with kindness even though they hurt me in the past. I would help them whenever they needed help. For their birthdays and on holidays, I would invite them to my home and serve them a good meal. They were all moved and my actions dissolved all the grievances we had in the past. 

If I did not practice Falun Dafa, it would not have been possible for me to forgive them or cherish our relationship. They were all moved by my kindness. They now support me in practicing Dafa, and they quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations. 

Through cultivation, I realized that Master had been taking care of me even before I began practicing. Those fortune tellers’ predictions might be right, but Master rearranged and extended my life! I not only lived past 59, I am now 83.

One day I fell down hard on the street, but I did not feel any pain. Others were shocked to see me fall like that and get up immediately. I recovered completely the next day.
