(Minghui.org) I am an 81-year-old rural housewife who never went to school, so I can’t read or write. In the summer of 1997, I began practicing Falun Dafa. I am now in good health. Although I am in my 80s, I walk and work no less than people in their 50s and 60s, and I really feel like I am getting rejuvenated.
Stroke Symptoms Disappeared
Before I obtained the Fa, I had a stroke, which made my legs and feet numb. I took medicine all year round, was always in pain, and I often got angry for no reason. The angrier I got, the worse my illness became.
One day in the summer of 1997, I heard my nephew say, “Practicing Falun Dafa will help get rid of illness.” I just wanted to learn it. The next night, I went to my neighbor’s house to watch a video of Master Li’s nine-day lectures, and the following morning I learned the exercises.
As I deepened my studying of the Fa, I learned my illness could not be cured by taking medicine, so I threw the medicines away and haven’t taken any since. After practicing for a short time, my illness was cured, I was no longer dizzy, I walked smoothly, and I was no longer the half-paralyzed person I used to be. When my family saw my changes, they all supported Dafa.
Nail Almost Went Through My Foot, Yet Healed After Doing the Exercises
There was another incident that left my children who didn’t cultivate Dafa totally amazed. The autumn before last, I accidentally stepped on a big nail. The nail was so long and thick that it almost went right through my foot. My foot immediately swelled. My second son immediately took me to the clinic in a neighboring village where I was briefly cleaned and prescribed medicine by the doctor.
When I got home, my son told me to take the medicine, but I didn’t. I said I would be okay if I did the Falun Dafa exercises. My son forced me to take the medicine. I took a pill and it didn’t help, and my foot continued to swell.
The next day, my son called my daughter and asked her to help persuade me to go to the hospital, and they forced me to the clinic for intravenous (IV) therapy. After three days of being on an IV, it didn’t get better, and the swelling of the foot did not go away.
I said to my son, who was accompanying me, “It’s useless to get injections. I won’t get injections anymore. I’m going to go home and do the exercises.”
When the doctor at the clinic asked my son what kind of exercises I did, he said, “She practices Falun Dafa.”
The doctor said, “If she won’t stay and be treated, don’t blame me if things go wrong.”
I said, “It’s okay, let me go home. I’ll practice, and I’ll be fine.”
My son asked the doctor, “How long do you think it will take for her to recover?”
I said, “Two days.” As a result, I went home to practice, and within two days, my foot recovered. My daughter and son were very happy. From then on, they were very supportive of my practice.
Using Righteous Thoughts to Treat a Dog Bite
One night in the summer before last, I went to pass out truth-clarification materials. I saw the gate of a house was open, so I went in to put some materials in the yard. Suddenly, a big dog rushed out and bit my foot, and I could feel it bite deeply.
I was not afraid. I sent righteous thoughts, touched its head, and whispered to it, “Don’t bite or bark. I am here to save your owner.” The dog, as if it understood, stopped biting me and walked away without a sound. I continued to pass out materials to the neighbors of the house and the dog didn’t bark.
After passing out all the materials, I checked my foot. There was nothing wrong, not even a tooth mark. It was amazing; I knew it was Master who protected me. When I told fellow practitioners in my Fa study group about this, they were very touched and I really felt that Master was by my side.
Being Able to Read Zhuan Falun
Since I never went to school, I’ve always been illiterate. When I saw other practitioners studying the Fa, I was so anxious that I couldn’t sleep at night, wondering when I would be able to read by myself. When I was studying the Fa in a small group, practitioners read the book, and I followed it silently. When I read by myself at home and there was a word I didn’t recognize, as soon as I thought about it, my brain “clicked,” and I immediately knew the pronunciation of this word. I know Master taught it to me. In this way, I became able to read Zhuan Falun and study the Fa myself. My family and fellow practitioners were happy for me and said it was a miracle.
Thank you, Master, for your mercy and salvation!
