(Minghui.org) I am a teacher in a vocational school. My family and I are immersed in the grace of Falun Dafa. I would like to share with you some miracles that happened to us. We thank Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, for saving our family.

Thyroid Cyst Disappeared

I had a thyroid cyst in my neck in September 1997, and the doctor said surgery was needed immediately to remove it. Before undergoing any surgery, the doctor who worked in the medical office at my school told me that her mother had heart disease and went to the hospital for emergency care every year. However, she said her mother has been healthy since she started practicing Falun Dafa, and advised me to give it a try.

I located a Falun Dafa group exercise site in the plaza and some adherents taught me the five sets of exercises, which I now do every morning. About one week later, I felt my neck and the cyst was gone. I could not believe it. The hospital confirmed that the cyst was calcified (inactive). The doctor asked me what medicine I had taken. I said that I just practiced Falun Dafa for a week and hadn’t taken any medicine. He was shocked.

I showed the school doctor two color ultrasound images, one taken before I started practicing and one after. I also showed the images to our academic director and some other colleagues. They were all amazed. So they asked me to teach them how to become Falun Dafa practitioners.

From then on, we did the exercises together after school every day. Some boarding students saw us and joined the group. I also played a video of Master lecturing on the Fa. Many of these people got a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. Everyone who studied the Fa and did the exercises benefited from Dafa, and all have experienced Dafa miracles.

My Brother’s Diseases Disappeared

My third elder brother frequently rode a motorcycle on mountainous roads for his business, and over time his eyes were injured by the dust and sand kicked up from the tires of other vehicles. He sought treatment for his poor vision at various hospitals but was unable to find a cure for the damage. Seeing the changes in my health, his son, who was studying at a school in my town, felt that practicing Dafa might help his father. I gave my nephew two Dafa books, Zhuan Falun and The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection to give to his father.

This brother used to smoke and drink heavily. He also had stomach problems, liver problems, and other ailments. After he started reading Zhuan Falun, he felt sick when he smelled cigarette smoke. When he read Lecture Seven, which talks about how a spiritual cultivator shouldn’t smoke or drink, he immediately quit smoking and drinking. He became a practitioner, and all of the diseases completely disappeared. He also became more considerate of others.

My sister-in-law felt very happy. She said, “My husband has changed from practicing Dafa. He used to stay in bed even when I had made a meal. But now he gets up early to do the household chores and boils water for us. I will be blessed for the rest of my life.”

Other Brother Saved From the Verge of Death

My second elder brother is a senior electrical engineer and the head of the power section of a state-owned enterprise. He has made many technological innovations and holds patents for energy-saving devices. He has also reduced the amount of energy the factory consumes. When the deputy manager in charge of production was transferred to another location, he thought that he was the most qualified person to replace him. To his disappointment, a less qualified person was given the job. He felt annoyed and began to sulk. He started smoking and drinking, which negatively affected his health.

He had hepatitis, lung disease, and an enlarged spleen. His lung elasticity was as low as that of someone in their 70s or 80s—he was in his 40s. He often went to the hospital for treatment of the diseases. He was hospitalized in the fall of 1997 for over four months. The doctor said he was in critical condition and discharged him, saying that there was no benefit in any further treatment, and no hope of a cure.

When I heard how serious his condition was, I immediately called him and told him about Falun Dafa. He was a stubborn atheist at the time. When I said that Falun Dafa was a Buddhist school practice, he said there is no Buddhism.

As soon as the school winter vacation began, I got on the train and traveled almost a thousand miles to my hometown. I brought videos of Master lecturing in Guangzhou for my brother to watch, but he refused to look at them.

My sister-in-law insisted that she wanted the whole family to watch the videos, and asked me to play them. My brother initially resisted, but as he was watching, he changed his mind and said that what Master said seemed right. He watched all nine lectures within three days.

This brother called me on the second day after school started and said, “Falun Dafa is really amazing. All my diseases are gone. The hospital’s chief physician said that several of his patients recovered from their illnesses after practicing Falun Dafa. He told me to go home and do the exercises well.”

While climbing the stairs to his home on the seventh floor my brother used to take a few breaks to catch his breath. Now, he can go upstairs without stopping.

My Eldest Brother Unharmed in a Serious Traffic Accident

Another brother, the eldest, was an executive of an enterprise. He attended a two-day meeting in Beijing in the summer of 1998. On the way home, a large truck rear-ended the car he was riding in. The car was badly mangled and the windshield was shattered. The driver’s face was cut and bleeding, but my brother was unharmed. However, both of them were trapped in the car. The traffic police were surprised that the fuel tank did not explode during this severe collision.

My eldest brother returned home safe and sound that night. His wife attributed his safe return to the family’s accumulation of great virtue. I knew that Master had protected my relatives. Indeed, it is true that when one person practices, the whole family benefits.

My Aunt’s Life and Hope Renewed

My aunt had heart disease for many years and was unable to even do housework. My uncle cared for her after their children were married and moved out. She took all kinds of traditional Chinese and western medicines, as well as various folk remedies, but nothing cured the disease. The family drained all their savings on medical treatments, but her situation worsened. The whole family was sad and felt helpless.

My aunt went to a bigger hospital in the spring of 1998 to seek treatment, but the doctor said that there was no point in treating her as there was no chance of recovery.

My aunt left the hospital in silence. Then, my second elder brother, who had taken her to the hospital, recommended that she practice Falun Dafa. He took her to the bookstore and bought two books, Zhuan Falun and The Great Way to the Spiritual Perfection.

My aunt carefully read Zhuan Falun. From this, she said she understood the meaning of life, and knew that people’s illnesses were caused by karma. She felt that Falun Dafa is a profound Fa and resolutely wanted to practice it.

She went to a group exercise site near her home and began doing the exercises and reading along with other practitioners. Her health improved day by day. She gradually became able to do housework and plant vegetables in a small garden. She now even helps remove weeds and hoe the fields during the busy summer farming season.

My Mother’s Great Changes in Belief

My mother developed severe arthritis when she was in her 70s. Her finger joints became deformed and swollen. Her knee joints were also deformed, which made it difficult to walk. She was plagued by bone spurs, excessive bone formations, and fluid in her joints.

My eldest brother carried her to the Tianjin Orthopedic Hospital for treatment. The doctor said that surgery was not possible because of her age. She could only have the accumulated fluid withdrawn regularly and take medication to relieve the pain.

I encouraged her to start practicing Falun Dafa. She said that she had followed another religion for six decades and did not want to change her beliefs.

In December 1999, agents from the local 610 Office asked my school to hold a brainwashing class, and said I had to attend. They threatened to send me to a detention center if I did not agree to stop practicing Falun Dafa. Before the weekend, the school leader ordered me to write a statement renouncing Falun Dafa, or else I would not be allowed to go to work on Monday.

I told my mother what happened, and she said not to write anything. She wanted me to differentiate between good and bad in this situation. She insisted that she would deliver meals to me if I was put in a detention center for upholding my faith. I was touched, and my tears flowed. On Monday, I was held captive in the workplace but refused to sign a renunciation statement. I was then placed in a detention center for one month. I was given one year in a forced labor camp in November 2000, followed by another three-year prison term in 2004.

My mother came to visit me in the prison in May 2005. In order to force me to renounce Falun Dafa, the prison arranged for me to have a meal with my mother during her first family visit. When I saw her, she looked hale and hearty. Her cheeks were rosy and her nails were shiny and smooth. I quietly asked her if she had taken up Dafa cultivation and she nodded.

After I was released from prison in 2007, I asked my mother what made her change her mind and start cultivating.

She said, “After you were arrested, I was afraid that you would die in the prison. Your fellow practitioners voluntarily took turns looking after me. They bought me vegetables and rice. They cooked, did the laundry, and took care of me like I was a relative. A young person in high school often came to read the Fa for me on Sundays. I felt that I would not have to trouble them if I was healthy. And I would also be able to help others selflessly just as they did. So I started to practice Falun Dafa.”

She added, “Through the Fa studies, I came to understand that we are to save people in the world. Soon after I began practicing, the pain in my legs stopped and I could go out to clarify the truth and distribute Dafa information materials with other practitioners. Now, I no longer need to wear eyeglasses to read.”

Words can’t express our gratitude to Master for all these miracles.
