(Minghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner in my early 70s. I have experienced many amazing things since I began practicing and would like to share some of them with you.
Recovering from End Stage Kidney Disease
I had nephrotic syndrome (proteinuria), which turned into uremia (kidneys being unable to filter blood sufficiently) in 1998. I developed generalized edema, and my face became disfigured due to the severe swelling. I could not lie down or sleep. My health was quickly deteriorating.
Some people told my daughter that practicing Falun Dafa had enormous healing power, so she began reading Zhuan Falun to me. I did not appreciate her efforts and asked her to stop. However, she insisted on reading the book to me.
My body shook when she read the following line,
“As cultivators, you won’t fight back when you’re beaten or sworn at.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)
It would be good to be that kind of person, I thought. With that thought, I felt someone hit me three times on my head, followed by ice water pouring on me from the top of my head. I was upset and began cursing. I then felt a sharp object poking my kidneys, and jumped due to the pain. My family believed that I was dying and was in a delirious state.
I got up to clean myself, and felt like I was surrounded by water. I felt hungry and wanted to eat. My family was really puzzled, “What’s going on?” By then, the swelling in my body had subsided to half of what it usually was. I ate a big dinner as I had been unable to eat or drink for days.
It was then I became interested in learning Falun Dafa. After dinner, I went to a nearby study group. My family accompanied me, as they were really concerned about my “strange behavior.”
I stood there listening to the practitioners reading Zhuan Falun since I still had a hard time sitting down. When they finished reading, I did the Falun Dafa exercises with them. It was hard to do the second exercise of holding the Falun, but I managed to do it. I threw up a lot after, but did not feel bad.
Three days later, my whole body felt unbearably hot. Even though the temperature was frigid, I went outside and poured some well water into a basin and began washing myself. I came back inside and fell asleep right away. When I woke up the next day, my whole body was covered with huge blisters. Some were black and purple, but I felt light and very comfortable.
Before I realized it, all the blisters disappeared and my skin returned to normal. Since then, I have been illness-free and my life has been renewed. I was overjoyed and could not thank Master Li, the founder and teacher of Falun Dafa, enough.
I live in a small town; almost everybody has heard about my amazing recovery and many people began practicing Falun Dafa after they saw what happened to me.
Learning to Read Chinese Characters
I have not attended school for a single day and couldn’t read any of the characters at first. I was anxious that I wouldn’t be able to read the Falun Dafa books.
I was so upset one day that I fell asleep crying and holding Zhuan Falun. In a dream, I was holding a yellow book and knew every word in it. When I finished a page, another page appeared automatically. I was very happy and kept reading. After I woke up, I was surprised to find that I could read every character in Zhuan Falun. I could read the book now. I was overjoyed and kept thanking Master.
My husband did not believe me when I read the book to him, I even read the difficult words. He was dumbfounded and went out to tell people the good news. The people in our area became stirred up once again. The villagers were so impressed that someone who had never gone to school was able to read.
One day, when I was reading Zhuan Falun, the characters in the book flew into my head. It was wondrous, as I not only knew the words, but the meaning behind them.
Master Is With Us at All Times
When the persecution began in July 1999, I was very concerned and went to Beijing three times to appeal for the right to follow my faith.
It was raining on our way back from Beijing. Fellow practitioners and I were at a train station and there was water everywhere. We got some newspapers, put them on the ground, and leaned on each other for support. We fell asleep that way, but when we woke up in the morning, all of us were dry and the newspaper on the ground was dry, even though it had rained all night.
We were all amazed and realized that Master was with us at all times, watching over and protecting us.
