(Minghui.org) I’m a female Falun Dafa disciple who turns 78 this year. I’ve been practicing Falun Dafa for 19 years. I have benefited so much and overcome over a dozen diseases without any medical treatment.

Before I started practicing, I suffered from painful arthritis in my neck, which made me dizzy and nauseous every day. I was born with a very narrow basilar artery at the base of my brain, about one-third normal size, which reduced the blood supply to my brain and affected my thinking. If this artery was accidentally compressed during sleep, I would hear a sound like rumbling thunder in my ears, my eyesight would be temporarily impaired, and I would then become paralyzed. When it happened, although my mind was clear, I would be unable to call out for help.

I had hypertension, pharyngitis, rhinitis, heart problems, and allergic enteritis, which caused stomach pain and diarrhea. If I had any cold water or cold food, it would trigger diarrhea within minutes. I also had depression and anxiety. But after I started practicing Falun Gong, all these diseases gradually disappeared, and I truly experienced the wonderful feeling of being illness free.

My emotional state went through an even more gratifying change. In the past, I often had so much anger in my heart that I had to vent it every few days to avoid a mental breakdown. After practicing cultivation, I became calm and no longer got irritated or angry. I was pleasant to everyone and our family life became warm and harmonious. It was amazing! Dafa can change a person’s nature and destiny. The Buddha Fa is boundless and omnipotent! Its power is difficult to fully appreciate unless you have experienced it personally. My gratitude to Master and Dafa cannot be expressed in words.

Practicing Dafa not only benefited myself, but my family, relatives, and friends were all blessed by understanding the truth and being supportive.

Because of the persecution, my husband and children were initially afraid of the social pressure and didn’t want me to continue practicing. The police and some people from my workplace came to threaten that if I didn’t give up practicing Falun Gong, it would affect my children’s chance to go to college, get a job, and so on.I was given two options: either write the three statements and give up practicing; or be expelled from the CCP. I chose to continue practicing Dafa and quit the evil CCP. I felt quite relieved and comforted my family: “Don’t worry, no one can do anything, only Master has the final say. We should firmly believe in Master and the Fa and leave everything to him.”

In spite of the pressure, I remained unwavering in my convictions and felt joyous every day. My relaxed, happy mental state positively affected my family. My husband had been so worried that he couldn’t sleep and was quite irritable. He was very conscious of his reputation, and felt he couldn’t stand up against the pressure. But he admired me very much, and his mood gradually stabilized.

I dedicated myself to looking after my family. For example, I cared for my mother-in-law, who was bedridden for nearly five years before she passed away. None of my husband's five siblings helped. I also tried my best to influence other relatives and friends through concrete actions. Dozens of people in my extended family understood the facts about Dafa and quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Not only did my husband and children support me, but they also recited “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day and received protection and blessings from Master. The following are a few examples of the power of Dafa.

On my most difficult days, my husband comforted me, “I will always stand with you.” Master has always protected him. He fell off his electric bike four times, but only one fall was serious. He stayed in the hospital for nine days and fully recovered.

When our eldest granddaughter was taking the high school entrance exam, she repeated the auspicious phrases, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance is good.” She performed so well that she couldn’t believe she got such a high score. She also repeated the phrases during her college entrance exam and was able to be placed at a university. After graduation, some relatives said it would be difficult for her to get a job because her grandma practices Falun Gong. I firmly believed that Master would arrange everything. As a result, she got a job with a well-regarded, state-owned enterprise. Those naysayers were stunned at the outcome.

My younger granddaughter became obsessed with video games during her senior year of high school and sometimes missed school as a result. As the college entrance exam approached, she stayed in bed, closed the curtains, and refused to eat or drink. She said that life was so painful that she wanted to starve to death. When the day came to register for the college entrance exam, we tried to persuade her to register. But no matter how hard we tried, she didn’t do anything.

The whole family was at their wit’s end. I begged Master to save this child. He guided her to correct her thinking. At around 6 o’clock in the evening, she agreed to sign up. She scored more than 500 points on the entrance examination and was admitted to a college.

While waiting for word on her admission status, I studied Zhuan Falun with her every day. Her mental outlook underwent tremendous changes, and she became a different person. The whole family witnessed this. She told me that several times, when she’d been ill, she recovered without treatment after repeating, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She said she has Dafa in her heart.

Her cousin had allergic purpura, which gave her stomachaches when she ate, and she didn’t improve after being hospitalized. My granddaughter taught her to repeat “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Afterward, her cousin’s stomach no longer hurt, and she was discharged from the hospital the next day.

My son-in-law suffered from a heart attack two years ago. Throughout the night, he recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” With Master’s protection, he survived this potentially fatal episode.

My daughter and son-in-law passed their exams required for promotion at work with ease. In the most recent exam, my son-in-law came in second out of 37 people in his company, which was beyond his expectations. They came over to share the good news and I asked, “Have you been repeating the Falun Dafa phrase?” They both said, “Yes! Absolutely!” A relative of my son-in-law didn’t believe in Dafa and couldn’t pass the exam even after 10 years of trying.

Another relative of mine took medicine for years due to an illness and then became pregnant. All the medicines she took were harmful to the fetus. The doctor suggested she have an abortion, otherwise the child would be born brain-damaged. She begged me to help her. I told her, “Don’t worry, as long as you’re sincere and do what I tell you, Dafa’s Master will protect you and your child.”

I clarified the facts to her and she withdrew from the CCP and its affiliations. She sincerely believed in Dafa and recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day. She also watched the Shen Yun performance CD and listened to Dafa music. She later gave birth to a healthy baby girl, who turns 15 this year. The girl is pretty, smart, and very sensible.

I noticed a certain phenomenon during the COVID-19 pandemic. The severity of someone’s symptoms, and how frequently they were infected, appeared to be directly related to their attitude towards Dafa. The more one disbelieves, opposes, or even damages Dafa, the more severe the symptoms. Yet those who truly practice Dafa are not infected. Shouldn’t this correlation cause everyone to reflect?

There are many examples of people who received blessings by believing in Dafa. Many severely ill patients, with some even being on the verge of death, have been healed. More and more people know Dafa is a righteous Fa, and that it saves people. Master uses his supernatural powers, which can display miraculous effects. This is a fact.

When you encounter difficulties, why not give Dafa a try? However, it is only effective if you have a sincere heart that respects gods and Buddhas. I hope more people will quickly awaken to the great Buddha Fa, be saved by Master and safely survive the coming great catastrophe.

Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation!
