Freedom from Illness

Judy is the oldest member of the waist drum team. Looking at her energetically playing the drum and walking with light and brisk steps, no one would guess that she’s nearly 70 years old. She said that before she began practicing Falun Dafa 15 years ago, a Chinese medicine doctor told that her organs were weak. She took Chinese medicine four times a day and had to visit the Chinese traditional doctor at least twice every week. She tried various things but nothing helped. Her husband was worried.

Judy recalled, “I attended the Nine-Day Falun Dafa Class. By the third day walking became so effortless that it felt as though someone was pushing me from behind. Many things were purged from my body, just like what Master mentioned in Zhuan Falun.”

As she continued practicing the exercises Judy felt younger. Her husband saw the positive changes in her, and he knew Falun Dafa was good. He was not harmed when he encountered dangerous situations. He also started practicing Falun Dafa.

Judy’s eyes brimmed with tears as she said, “No words can describe my gratitude. Thank you, Master. I respectfully wish Master a happy birthday! I will definitely put my heart into practicing and tell more people how good Falun Dafa is.”

Unharmed During a Car Accident

A former company manager, Mr. Hu Cheng Quan, was a successful businessman who traveled extensively. Few people knew that despite his glamorous lifestyle, on every journey he constantly searched for medical care and remedies. Mr. Hu had suffered from epilepsy and back pain since he was young. He wanted to pursue his university studies in Taiwan but had to give up.

Mr. Hu Cheng Quan respectfully wished Master happy birthday and thanked him.

Mr. Hu found a qigong master in Beijing to treat him, but that only temporarily relieved his suffering. He returned to Beijing in May 1996 to be treated by this qigong master. “He told me you no longer need to search. There is a practice now, called Falun Dafa, which is very good. He told me his wife suffered from a serious illness and recovered after practicing the exercises.”

Mr. Hu was astonished that this man, who was admired by so many people, could not cure his wife’s illness and recommended he practice Falun Dafa. He found the practice site in Beijing and learned the five exercises. Mr. Hu said, “I soon recovered, and my pain disappeared. That was 30 years ago and my illnesses never returned.”

Mr. Hu also shared another miracle that happened not long after he began practicing. He was driving back to Singapore from Malaysia with his wife and her older sister. He was driving too fast, and he suddenly lost control of the car when they reached a slope, and struck a large tree near a drainage on the right side of the road. The car flipped upside down and stopped. Although the entire roof collapsed, rendering the car a total loss, everyone was unharmed.

He said, “After I got out of the car I was stunned. The car accident was so serious, but no one was hurt. Anyone who witnessed the accident would assume that the people inside the car were killed or seriously injured. I know this miracle happened because Master was helping me.” He also felt deeply that his entire family benefited because he practices Falun Dafa.

Mr. Hu said that his gratitude to Master has deepened, “Through studying the Fa, I understand more clearly what Falun Dafa is. Without Master, I could have lost my life in this car accident. Master saved my life and I’m able to continue cultivating. I respectfully wish Master a happy birthday!”

Struggling Amidst Hardship for Half a Lifetime – Luckily Saved by Master

Whenever someone in Singapore mentions “red headscarf” (female workers in the construction industry in the early 20th century), people automatically think of bitter hardship. Ms. Yue Zhen, who is over 70 years old, wore a red headscarf and worked at construction sites since she was 13 years old. After struggling for decades to survive she met Master and began practicing Falun Dafa. She said her life turned from bitterness and adversity to happiness and prosperity.

Yue Zhen’s family was poor. She had ten siblings and she had to start helping out when she was about seven years old. She could not attend school. Suffering from malnutrition, Yue Zhen’s body was ridden with illnesses. Plagued by misfortune as well, after she married her husband passed away when he was only 39 years old. The responsibility of bringing up their two young children fell on her shoulders.

Desperately seeking a cure for her illnesses, Yue Zhen tried many types of qigong, but not only did she not recover, she attracted some nasty things and her health went from bad to worse. She met Master when he gave a lecture in Singapore in August, 1998, and got a new lease on life.

“Master walked down from the stage to speak to everyone after his lecture,” Yue Zhen recalled, “Master turned his head and looked at me. So I quickly said that I had yet to learn his exercises. Master replied compassionately that it was okay. He pointed to a Dafa book and said that there was a book there and that I should take one to read. I replied, ‘I am illiterate, how can I read it?’ Master replied that it was okay and that I just had to flip through the book.”

After returning home, Yue Zhen repeatedly flipped through the precious book Zhuan Falun. Although she did not read a single word, she could not put the book down and looked at it whenever she had time. She was very anxious about not being able to read the book. She watched Master’s lecture videos and listened as the other practitioners read the Fa. As they read, she gradually learned the words. Yue Zhen said, “After roughly two years’ time, I was able read Zhuan Falun, and I read along with the others.”

Yue Zhen’s body grew stronger after she stopped doing the other qigong and just practiced Falun Dafa. She had a brush with death while working at a factory canteen. More than ten boxes containing raw meat, fish, and prawns suddenly fell on her. She was not afraid, and thought, “Everything will be fine.”

Her coworkers frantically pulled the boxes off her and helped her sit on a chair. They asked if she was hurt and if she wanted to go to the hospital. They were terrified, and said that the weight of the heavy boxes could have killed her. Yue Zhen just said, “Everything is alright.” She was not harmed. She said, “Master protected me, and I kept thanking Master in my heart.”

Yue Zhen is grateful for the positive changes she experienced after she began practicing Falun Dafa, “Master helped me a lot, and resolve my issues. Thank you, Master! I respectfully wish Master happy birthday!”
