(Minghui.org) At 90 years of age, I have been practicing Falun Dafa for 32 years. While most of my classmates, colleagues, and relatives of a similar age have already passed away, I remain vigorous in good health. I can take care of myself, and my life is carefree. What is the secret to my good fortune? There is only one explanation—I practice Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong).
I first began practicing Falun Dafa in 1994. Before that, I suffered from severe erosive atrophic gastritis and couldn't eat much. Whatever I ate, I vomited; even drinking water made me vomit. I only remained alive by receiving intravenous fluids. Additionally, after undergoing major surgery for a gynecological condition, my physical condition declined even further, and sleep became impossible.
Though every day was painful for me, for the sake of my family and my children, I grit my teeth and kept going.
One day, while I was climbing the stairs to my home and resting half the way, I ran into my neighbor. Seeing my condition, she pitied me and mentioned that a miraculous Qigong practice that promised healing powers was being promoted at a booth at the Beijing Oriental Health Expo at that time. She suggested that I check it out right away.
The following day, I found the Falun Dafa booth, where three lines had formed: one for morning treatment, already full; one for afternoon treatment, also full; and the third line waiting for Master Li Hongzhi’s autograph.
So I bought the book Falun Gong and waited in the third line for Master to sign it. The moment I met Master, I felt a wave of warmth wash over my entire body. I felt completely at ease, and the discomfort in my stomach vanished. Master was tall, compassionate, serene, and warm. I developed a deep respect for him. Meanwhile, I was very excited and felt Master looked familiar.
When I got home that day, I suddenly felt hungry—a sensation I hadn’t experienced in years. My family made me a large bowl of hot noodle soup, and I ate it all. My husband was utterly astonished by my sudden change and amazed at the power of Dafa!
Master took care of my health issue even before I had begun to start practicing Dafa. I didn’t spend a penny or take a pill. From that day on, my severe atrophic gastritis was completely cured.
The following day, I took my grandson to the expo. He suffered from arrhythmia, and we were unable to find a cure for him after several hospitalizations and consultations with specialists.
I brought him to Master. This was the second time I met Master. He moved his hands all around my grandson’s body and made grasping gestures a few times, which, amazingly, cured him instantly. Since then, my grandson has never had a relapse and remains healthy.
Our entire family could hardly believe it and were all grateful to Master and Dafa.
On the final day of the expo, during a healing demonstration, I saw Master for the third time.
He explained the profound Dafa principles with language easy to understand—facts I had never heard before. As I listened, I felt a warm current circling through my entire body, and it felt extremely comfortable.
Before the session ended, Master invited everyone in the audience to stand up. He explained that he would heal one illness for each person. He instructed everyone to relax, stamp their right foot once, extend their right hand with the palm facing upward, and focus on an illness they or a family member had.
At that moment, I didn’t think of myself, but instead thought of my second daughter’s inflamed gallbladder. As a result, her gallbladder issues were completely cured from that point on. She is deeply grateful to Master from the bottom of her heart, and once again, our family experienced his compassion and the extraordinary nature of Dafa.
In January 1995, during the ceremony for the initial publication of the book Zhuan Falun, I met Master for the fourth time.
He gave a lecture, after which my view on life underwent a fundamental change. I gained a clear understanding of how to live correctly as a human being, and I no longer felt confused about life. I resolved to live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I resolved to become a better person, to be considerate of others, to be selfless, and to consider others first. Also, I was determined to let go of attachments to fame, profit, and sentiment; to stop dwelling on personal gains or losses; and to continuously elevate my moral character.
I have benefited enormously, both physically and mentally. I frequently participate in activities to spread Dafa, sharing its beauty with more people, so that they may come to know Dafa, acknowledge it, and be saved.
