(Minghui.org) I’ve practiced Falun Dafa for 28 years and have been reading practitioners’ experience-sharing articles since I learned how to use the Internet. Every time I read them, I truly feel that these practitioners cultivate well and write well. These articles have helped my cultivation a lot. I sincerely thank Master Li for creating this platform for Dafa practitioners to share and learn from one another.
I used to be in a lot of pain. When I had headaches, the pain was unbearable. My eyes felt like they were being pushed inward. I also had nausea and diarrhea. These symptoms came on almost every week without warning. In addition, I often had neck pain, shoulder pain, stomach pain, lower back pain, urinary infections, and numbness in my hands and feet. Life was hard. I tried practicing some form of qigong to heal myself, but the ailments remained, and the pain did not lessen.
I was fortunate to begin practicing Falun Dafa when a coworker introduced it to me in May 1996. At first, my goal was simply to improve my health. I did the group exercises every morning and evening. In just one week, all my ailments and pain disappeared without me even noticing. The practice is truly amazing. My family saw the changes in my health and supported me. I also told people about the remarkable experiences many other practitioners had after taking up the practice.
Our family’s old house was demolished a few years ago, and we received a large amount in compensation. Since our parents had passed away, my brother and sister-in-law managed the money. There were three of us siblings, and my sister and I should have had a share. However, my sister-in-law believed that, since we were married, we had no claim to it. We were upset when we heard this. Our parents left the house to all of us, so why shouldn’t the daughters have a share? It didn’t seem reasonable.
My sister was especially angry and wanted me to go with her to argue with them. Although I was also unhappy, I did not agree to go. I told her, “First, my sister-in-law has always been unwilling to share anything, and my brother is easygoing and allows her to make all the decisions. Second, both of us already have places to live. Although our parents didn't give them to us, we still have homes. After the demolition, my brother and his wife will have nowhere to live and will need that money to buy a new house. Otherwise, where would they live?” Although my sister was upset, she’s a reasonable person and was able to let it go.
I had another thought: “As a cultivator, what truly belongs to me will never be lost, and what’s not mine cannot be gained, even if I fight for it.” I didn’t share this principle with my sister because she doesn’t practice cultivation and wouldn’t understand. After we let go of this pursuit, my brother later confided, “I know you both suffered a loss in this matter, but you didn’t make a scene as some families do. If you have difficulties in the future, we’ll help you out.” Indeed, we did not argue or fight like some other families, where siblings end up damaging their relationships. Because we handled the situation calmly, we avoided a family conflict.
My husband’s health has not been good, especially in recent years. He recently came down with acute appendicitis and a recurrence of gallstones. The pain was severe, so I rushed him to the hospital. He was admitted and had surgery for the gallstones the next day. An appendectomy was scheduled for a few days later.
However, after the first surgery, his creatinine level was very high, making a second surgery risky. He already had kidney problems, so the doctors discussed transferring him to the nephrology department to wait for his levels to stabilize. But they were concerned that waiting more than a week could be too long, and the first procedure might be in vain and have to be redone. The doctors finally decided to proceed with the appendectomy right away.
My husband was worried that if his kidney function worsened, he would be in a dire situation. He was under a lot of stress. I told him the best thing to do was to keep reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He believed it and silently repeated the words. Even in the operating room, he kept reciting until the anesthesia took effect. After the surgery, he felt calm. The next day, the doctor told us that his creatinine level had dropped close to normal. We were overjoyed.
My husband and I knew that Master protected us. We’re deeply grateful for his compassionate salvation. I asked the doctor how this could happen. His level had been so high before surgery, yet it dropped significantly afterward. The doctor thought for a moment and said some things cannot be explained by modern science.
My brother has high blood pressure and suddenly experienced a severe episode at my home. He felt dizzy and ended up prostrate on the sofa. I immediately told him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He blinked to acknowledge me, while I recited the words aloud. After about half an hour, he stabilized, and the dizziness went away. He later confided that whenever he felt unwell at home, he would calmly recite these words and soon feel better.
When my granddaughter was little, she stayed with us during summer vacation. One day, she got her big toe caught in the door, and it started bleeding. She cried out in pain. I quickly held her in front of Master’s picture and told her to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She continued to cry but followed along. She then broke free from my arms and exclaimed, “Grandma, my foot is better. It doesn’t hurt anymore!” My husband didn’t believe it at first. How could the pain go away so quickly? But it was true. Whether we’re practitioners or family members, everyone has witnessed the remarkable effects of Falun Dafa!
