(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1998, and for more than 20 years I no longer needed to take medicine. I would like to share some of my experiences with you.
I did not begin practicing to have my illnesses resolved, or to keep fit, even though my health was poor before I began practicing. When I was four years old, I contracted whooping cough and I never fully recovered.
Because my husband was the youngest child, he had no experience taking care of anyone. I caught colds often, and when I did, my husband became angry and left the house. He refused to help me. I was heartbroken. I never expected he’d treat me this way.
After our child was born, my husband scolded me constantly. I felt terrible. I suffered from severe insomnia, cervical spondylosis, and gynecological issues. My hands and feet were always chapped. The dead skin on my feet was a centimeter thick and often cracked and bled. When people saw my feet they felt sorry for me.
Not long after I started to practice Falun Dafa, all my health problems disappeared.
“Mom, I’m so impressed,” my son said. “After you practiced Falun Dafa, the thick dead skin and large cracks on your feet are gone!”
The Lump in My Lower Abdomen Disappeared
In the summer of 2003, I began noticing that I had an unpleasant odor. Since I worked as a salesperson, this was embarrassing. I wondered what caused me to smell like rotten fish. Then, I found a hard, fist-sized lump in my lower abdomen.
Master told us, “True cultivators have no illnesses...” (“Explaining the Fa for Falun Dafa Assistants in Changchun”)
Although I was bothered by the way I smelled, I knew it was not an illness. I followed Master’s instruction and looked inward to see where my behavior was not aligned with Dafa and what loophole the old forces used to interfere with my cultivation.
I found many attachments: the desire for personal gain, fear of losing face, jealousy, showing off, lust, resentment, and fear of being criticized. I sent forth righteous thoughts to dissolve these human attachments and eliminate the old force’s arrangements.
My boss was my mother-in-law’s relative. When he heard I was laid off from my previous job, he came to my home and asked me to work as a salesperson. He said I’d earn a commission on top of my monthly base salary. I told him not to pay me too much. He said that everyone had a base salary of 300 yuan plus commission. “The more you earn, the more I earn, and the happier I’ll be,” he said. So I agreed.
The goods I was asked to sell were not easy to sell. They were not considered popular, so few people wanted them. Being a Dafa practitioner, I worked hard. As a result, the sales in my first month were more than three times higher than the boss expected, so my pay should have been over a thousand yuan.
There were a few other employees in this business, two salespeople and one repairman. The other two salespeople’s products were supposed to sell better than mine, but they did not sell well, and the repairman’s salary was even lower. My earned wage was so much higher than expected, that the boss hesitated. The boss’s wife was also worried because I would get paid much more than others, especially because one of the salespeople was her niece and the other was the boss’s brother.
The boss thought it would take several months for my first month’s sales to be as much as their usual sales. Embarrassed, he asked if I would mind being paid half of what I was promised.
“It’s fine,” I said, “no worries.” As a practitioner, I felt I should live up to Dafa’s standard and be able to knowingly lose in terms of personal interests and gains.
The boss and his wife were moved. His wife said, “Luckily, you are a Falun Dafa practitioner. We wouldn’t know what to do otherwise.”
I followed Dafa’s principles. I worked hard and did not complain. I did not fight for personal gain, and I thought of others, including my boss, first. Not only did I sell the goods, I also cooked lunch, cleaned, and handled after-sales work. When my xinxing improved, Master removed the bad thing from my body.
One night, I dreamed that someone took out a large object from my abdomen and told me, “It’s gone.” I was startled and woke up. I recalled the scene in my dream and unconsciously touched my lower abdomen. I could feel that the hard lump was gone. From then on, the bad smell from my body disappeared. Thank you, Master!
Shingles Disappear After Sending Righteous Thoughts
One day in the summer of 2011, not long after I arrived at work, I felt a surge of pain all over my body and I felt weak. Every joint ached and I had a high fever. I felt a sharp pain in my heart, as if I was pierced by a needle. It was incredibly painful.
“What’s going on?” I asked myself. “What’s wrong? What did I do that did not align with Dafa? Why is my heart so painful?” Then I remembered that I felt weak when I sent righteous thought the previous midnight.
I accidentally touched my belly and it felt wet. Looking down, I was shocked. A ring of large blisters, each as big as my thumbnail, circled my waist. I thought it was shingles, which I knew was incredibly painful and hard to treat.
Wasn’t this imposed on me by the old forces? “I don’t want it,” I thought. I held on until I got off work. When I arrived home, it was nearly time for sending global righteous thought at 6 p.m. I immediately sat down and sent righteous thoughts, eliminating the old forces’ persecution of me. After 15 minutes, everything was back to normal. I had no pain and no fever. The big blisters on my waist all turned into dry, tiny blisters the size of millet grains. It was truly amazing! I was stunned.
Two Tumors Discharged from My Throat After Eliminating Resentment
In 2017, with the help of relatives and friends, we managed to buy an apartment for my son who was about to get married. My daughter-in-law wasn’t satisfied, but we could not afford a better place. We also did not have enough money to hire a professional company for the renovation. And my husband was sick. I was the only one who could do the renovation.
Because we had little money, I carefully budgeted for materials and hired laborers, while also caring for the elderly in the family and my ailing husband. Every day was exhausting. Before I began the renovation, I took my son and daughter-in-law to look at floor tile colors. They picked out the tiles and design. But before she even came to see the result, my daughter-in-law complained about the renovation. She criticized everything, from the materials to the way the work was done. She wasn’t satisfied with anything.
Every word she spoke stung my heart. I was frustrated and resentful. I’d never been so furious. I just wanted to find a place to cry. I suddenly felt like there was something in my throat that I couldn’t swallow.
I looked inward and saw my mistake—I treated myself as an ordinary person. I did this for my son and daughter-in-law wholeheartedly because my daughter-in-law would be coming home to give birth at the end of the year. As an elderly woman who knew nothing about renovation, I really tried my best. But why was the result like this? I had no place to express my pain. I decided to study the Fa.
When we become anxious, our attachments are easily exposed. My resentment was one of them. As a Dafa practitioner, how could I get upset at others and be resentful? Wasn’t this a good opportunity to get rid of my attachment? It was for me to expand my heart. I was introverted and my attachments were hidden very deeply. What happened exposed them.
The blockage in my throat felt a little better, but my resentment would manifest from time to time. When it came out, I suppressed it, and when it came out again, I suppressed it again. But it was not completely eliminated. After several days, it felt like something was hanging inside my throat. I was unable to cough it up or swallow it. It even interfered with my eating. I didn’t take it seriously. I ignored it, and continued to do the three things. I looked inward, and whenever I found something that was not aligned with the Fa, I immediately eliminated it.
I kept looking inward and my xinxing continued to improve. My resentment kept dwindling. My daughter-in-law came home and gave birth. One day she yelled at me for no reason. I didn’t feel anything—it was just like a breeze passed by lightly.
Master saw that my xinxing had improved, and he removed the thing that was stuck in my throat.
One morning, after washing a quilt cover, I took it outside to dry. As I lifted it up, something suddenly rushed up my throat. I quickly turned and spat it out on the ground. It looked like a mouthful of blood at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was a piece of meat. I called my husband. He looked and reckoned it was about three centimeters long.
About a month later, while I was cooking one evening, something rushed up my throat again. I quickly lowered my head and something fell to the ground. It was a two-centimeter-sized ball of flesh. My husband saw it and said, “It’s amazing! If you went through surgery for this, not only would it cost a lot of money, but it would also be a huge pain. You should thank Master!”
There have been many times that Master cleansed my body. These are only a few examples.
