(Minghui.org) The social media network QQ was extremely popular in 2002. One day I went online and received messages about Falun Dafa from an unfamiliar IP address.
Out of curiosity, I read a few lectures of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. I also followed the instructions to do the five exercises. Afterwards, I often broke through the CCP's Internet blockade using Freegate software to get information outside of China.
Because of my poor enlightenment, I only practiced the exercises and did not read the Fa (teachings). I did not know how to cultivate my xinxing, so my health did not improve. I eventually stopped doing the exercises.
I Finally Begin Practicing
I became ill in 2017 and consulted Chinese and Western doctors, but nothing helped. I was bedridden for more than a month. Then I remembered Falun Dafa and started to practice the exercises again. I also read Zhuan Falun and listened to the audio recordings of Master’s lectures. My health greatly improved, and I was able to go back to work.
Although I was practicing, I still did not fully understand the principles of the Fa, nor did I send forth righteous thoughts or clarify the truth to people about Falun Dafa.
I suddenly had an intense headache in 2019, which I never experienced before. All I could do was lie in bed. I learned from other practitioners that I should be doing the three things. I began to send forth righteous thoughts every day, but I thought I would skip the one at midnight. But amazingly, I always woke up on time just before midnight every night. I later realized that it was a hint from Master to be more diligent.
After I began to send righteous thoughts I had diarrhea for about a week. I never felt uncomfortable and knew that Master was cleansing my body. Although the headache still attacked me occasionally, my daily routine was not affected.
After practicing Dafa for a while, all my chronic diseases, including stomach problems, skin diseases, and rhinitis disappeared completely. While the headache still returned occasionally, it eventually disappeared.
Changes After Practicing Dafa
I used to be selfish and often yelled at my wife. I spent hours in karaoke bars and gaming places. If I did any chores I would scold my wife for not spending more time on housework.
Master said,
“Once a person steps onto the path of cultivation, there will be nothing coincidental in his life from then on.” (“Fa Teaching Given at a Meeting in New York,” Teachings at Conferences in the United States)
Gradually, I understood the meaning of this Fa teaching and completely eliminated my resentment. I also got rid of my attachments of jealousy, showing off, fame, and gain.
I used to accept bribes at work and took it for granted since I was a manager. After practicing Dafa, I no longer accepted any gifts. If the person insisted, I always returned it or gave the person something in equal value in return.
My Amazing Experiences
Two experiences taught me the importance of thinking about things on the basis of the Fa.
In the early days after I began seriously practicing Dafa, I would have a runny nose as soon as I started to read the Fa or do the exercises. I believed that it was interference, as normal karma elimination wouldn’t affect my studying the Fa. I told myself, “I should completely ignore the runny nose and continue doing the exercises and reading the Fa.” My nose soon stopped running.
The second miracle happened in December 2022. The sudden lift of the COVID lockdown by the CCP caused many people to contract the virus, including my father-in-law. He had chills and wore many layers of clothes. When I delivered food to him, I accidentally dropped the thermometer into his clothing. I had to remove his layers of clothing to find it.
He did not wear a mask and I was worried that I would be infected.
After a while, I felt uncomfortable, I had tingling in my lungs and started to cough slightly. I hurried home.
While my father-in-law’s fever subsided that afternoon, I started to have COVID symptoms. I developed a fever and my face was hot. I knew that it was a tribulation I brought on myself due to my hidden attachment to fear. I quickly sent righteous thoughts. The symptoms disappeared two days later except for a slight cough.
