(Minghui.org) During my summer vacation in 1997, I learned that a very famous Qigong master was holding a training course in a city in Shandong Province in mid-July and was looking to recruit students. It was claimed that those who completed the course would be able to cure their own ailments, improve their health, and successfully treat others. It so happened that my girlfriend was working in that city at the time, so I decided to visit her and enroll in the course.

While waiting for the course to start, I decided to go for a walk and happened upon someone selling books. I picked up one called Falun Gong and read a few pages. I found it straightforward and easy to understand, so I bought it.

When I got back to my hotel, I finished reading the book and began practicing the exercises according to the illustrations. Almost immediately, I felt a warm current envelop my whole body. Excited, I quickly went out to purchase a follow-up book, Zhuan Falun, Volume II. I finished reading it that same day, and it answered questions that had puzzled me for a long time. I felt that I had finally obtained a true practice, and I no longer needed to attend that other Qigong course.

I returned home with the two books and quickly found a local practice site. Later, I obtained a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, and I officially embarked on the path of Dafa cultivation.

Many of my experiences have confirmed that what Master wrote in his books is true. Here are some of my personal experiences.

Master said:

“The problem is especially acute these days, when many people jump from one practice to the next and make a mess of their bodies, ruining any spiritual aspirations they may have had. They go in for all sorts of things, rather than committing to just one solid approach that could take them somewhere, and each new one that they dabble in only conflicts with the last. All of which only dashes their spiritual prospects.” (The First Talk, Zhuan Falun)

I had practiced several different types of Qigong in the past. However, as soon as I decided to devote myself wholeheartedly to practicing Falun Dafa, Master cleared away the problems caused by other Qigong practices.

One night I dreamed I was on a mountain being chased by a large group of beings. One of them was an old Taoist priest in a gray robe (he looked dark and gloomy), while the others were animals. Just as they’d chased me to the edge of a cliff, I remembered that I practiced Falun Dafa. All of a sudden, a circular elevator appeared, and I stepped in and escaped safely.

Since then, I have never again dreamed of those things. I realize now it was the result of my haphazardly practicing different forms of Qigong in the past. Master cleared away those negative influences for me.

I also experienced guanding (bodily purification) shortly after I began to cultivate. On night, I dreamed that I was lying in bed, when suddenly I stood up and felt my skull open up like the lid of a cardboard box. I heard the sound of liquid pouring down from my head. As the liquid flowed downward, I felt a warm current reach to just below my knees. I later realized this might have been Master reminding me that there were still parts of me I needed to cultivate. In that moment, I was fully awake. I knew that Master had used his energy to purify my body, and I was filled with joy. Everything Master wrote in his books is indeed true!

After practicing for some time, I experienced Master purifying my body while I slept. One night, shortly after falling asleep, everything around me suddenly became dark, and I couldn’t even see my hand in front of my face. Instantly, I became fully conscious and felt no fear, but I didn’t open my eyes.

I felt that I was lifted up by a pair of large hands, one above and one below, grasping my spine and gently stretching it, while simultaneously rotating it slightly from side to side. I could hear the crisp cracking sounds my spine made. After this was repeated several times, I was set down, and I then woke up.

My long-term curvature of the spine had disappeared! Despite visiting several hospitals and having spent thousands on treatment every year in the past, nothing had helped. This time, I didn’t spend a penny. Master cured me simply because I cultivated in Dafa and followed his instructions to be a good person. Since then, I have never been tormented by that pain.

Master said:

“Accounts do have to be settled, though, so it’s possible some dangerous things will take place on your spiritual journey. But those events won’t be frightening to you nor result in any serious harm coming to you.” (Third Talk Zhuan Falun)

I was involved in a serious car accident as I was driving my child home from hospital. I felt a bit drowsy, but I was almost home, so I didn’t stop and rest. Suddenly I was jolted awake by a violent impact.

I had run into the back of a truck, knocking off its rear bumper, which had been driven directly into the left front of my car, missing me by only a few centimeters. The windshield was partially shattered, the dashboard had been pushed upward by the spear of metal, the hood was raised, and the driver’s side door was jammed shut.

I broke out in a cold sweat. I must have instinctively turned the steering wheel to the right. If not, I would have ended up under the truck, the steel bumper would have gone straight through the cab, and my legs—or even my life—might not have been spared. I knew that Master had protected me once again, and neither I nor my child suffered a single scratch. I was overwhelmed with emotion and deeply grateful that Master is always watching over his disciples.

Over the course of more than 20 years of cultivation, not only me by also my family members have faced many “dangerous situations,” yet we have always managed to stay safe. We have witnessed the truth of what Master said: “When one person obtains the Fa, the whole family benefits.”(“Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan,” Explaining the Teachings of Zhuan Falun). Below are just two examples.

Shortly after I got married, my wife and I were headed to the ferry terminal. When we were almost there, my wife suddenly screamed—she had just realized that she left the gas stove on, and there were steamed buns still in the pot. We had already been gone for over 20 minutes. Panicked, we took a taxi and rushed back.

We walked into our apartment to find it filled with thick smoke. The kitchen door was scorching hot to the touch, the gas stove was still on, and the pot was completely charred. The steamed buns had turned to charcoal, and the tiles on the surrounding walls were too hot to touch. It was surely a miracle that the flammable materials nearby did not catch fire! I pressed my palms together in gratitude to Master for watching over us. The consequences of a fire or gas explosion would have been unimaginable.

On another occasion, my wife dozed off as she was driving and drove through a red light. The car then veered off the road and crashed into a tree, snapping it in two, sending the upper section flying a meter away. The car was finally stopped by a dense row of tall bushes by the side of the road. Miraculously, my wife was not hurt, but the car sustained significant damage. She had witnessed another miracle that day.

I am sharing my personal experiences in the hope that readers will recognize that the Chinese Communist Party, which launched the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, spreads lies, breeds violence, and is the greatest evil of all. I sincerely hope you reject this evil; embrace sincerity, kindness, and tolerance; and thereby secure a bright future.
