(Minghui.org) After I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, all my illnesses disappeared. I truly feel light, and no words can express my gratitude to Master Li. I’d like to share two examples.
My second year of teacher training college, frequent headaches prevented me from attending class. The academic affairs office coordinator advised me to take a year off.
My parents sought medical treatment everywhere, but my condition fluctuated, and nothing I tried helped. I eventually completed my teacher training and became a schoolteacher, but the headaches persisted throughout my career.
While I taught a class and read aloud from the textbook, a student raised his hand and said, “Teacher, you mispronounced a character.” At that moment, the characters in the book appeared as curved lines to me, completely indistinguishable. I realized my head was not aching, but my eyes were.
I took the next day off to have my eyes examined at the hospital affiliated with the military medical university in the next city. The doctor injected a drug into my eyes, and they were red for several days. After additional treatment, I was finally able to teach again.
I married and gave birth to our child. One day at the dining table, the bowl fell out of my hand, and the chopsticks from the other hand. I was at a loss as to what was going on.
I went to the County Hospital. The doctor said I had glaucoma and wanted to hospitalize me immediately. I said, “I have a baby and must inform my family about this.” The doctor had me take some medicine on the spot and allowed me to go home briefly. I informed my family and returned to the hospital, where I was hospitalized for two weeks.
I had to take medicine every day, and my fingers, mouth, and chin were numb from it. I frequently visited the hospital to be examined and for my drug prescriptions. This situation went on for several months.
I was eventually prescribed glasses for nearsightedness. When I was in my late 40s, I began to experience farsightedness, and I was prescribed reading glasses.
Ever since I began practicing Falun Dafa, I’ve found I no longer need glasses.
Now that I’m in my 80s, I’ve become more diligent in studying the Fa, doing the exercises, improving my xinxing, and doing the three things the practitioners should do. I always remind myself that as a Dafa practitioner, my words, actions, appearance, and image should all show people what a Falun Dafa practitioner is, so people can see that “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
My husband was obsessed with money and never contributed his income to the family. I used to pity myself for having married such a selfish man.
I now understand that my family is my cultivation environment. I regarded my husband’s selfish behavior as a karmic debt I owed him from a past lifetime. I should take it lightly and treat him with kindness and generosity in order to repay that debt.
After my perspective changed his behavior no longer bothered me. I willingly spent money for the family and found joy in doing the housework. I realized these were great opportunities to eliminate my karma through hardship, improve my xinxing, and advance in my cultivation.
I began clarifying the truth about the persecution when I would go shopping. My heart broadened, and I’m happy. I experienced physical changes as well. My vision improved, and I no longer need glasses. I can see every character clearly when I read the Fa, no matter how small the print is.
My daughter, who is in her 50s and does not cultivate, carries two sets of glasses at all times, one for close-up and one for distance, and constantly switches between them. I offered to help, saying, “Let me tell you what the small print says.” She’s convinced Falun Dafa is wonderful. Her mother, who is in her 80s, has better eyesight than her daughter in her 50s.
During the holidays, my daughter and my granddaughter were eager to take me out for fun. I was quite busy doing the three things every day and didn’t want to join them, but they insisted. In order to make them happy, I sometimes accepted their invitation.
I carried a small media player and listened to Master’s lectures when we were outside. I focused on what I was listening to while I walked behind them as we went to stores, sightseeing, and took pictures. When they talked to me, I responded briefly and didn’t slow them down.
My daughter often checked on me, saying, “Are you okay? Should we sit down and take a break?” I always responded that I was okay. We usually left home at 10 a.m. and returned before 10 p.m. I wasn’t tired at all.
Last year, we spent an entire day in the city. We had meals, enjoyed the night view by the river, and took photos. We were active for nine hours straight and took the last subway home. My daughter asked me, “It’s a bit late, are you okay? Other people your age are usually in bed by now.” I told her that I was good and had enjoyed the day.” I was also amazed.
After I began practicing Falun Dafa, my whole body felt light. These are Dafa’s blessings. I will cultivate diligently, do the three things well, and follow Master home.
