(Minghui.org) When my daughter Rong was years 11old, she began to wet the bed every night. I took her to hospitals in many provinces and cities. I tried traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, acupuncture, folk healers, and all kinds of home remedies. I even visited temples. Nothing worked. After seven years of suffering, she still wet the bed. My daughter was exhausted and depressed. I felt physically and emotionally drained and often secretly wept, wondering when this would end.
My two older sisters began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996 and they encouraged me to practice. They told me that Dafa is an advanced Buddha-school cultivation practice that teaches people to be good and improves one’s mind and body. They also believed it could resolve Rong’s problem. But after spending all our savings trying to treat her condition, I lost faith in everything. I told my sisters, “You can take Rong to your home and let her practice with you. I don’t need to practice.” Since they could not persuade me, they took my daughter to the exercise site every Saturday and Sunday. After she practiced for a while, I noticed her complexion improved and she was more energetic, but I still doubted that practicing Falun Dafa could help her.
I went to my oldest sister’s home one evening while both sisters were doing the second exercise, the Falun Standing Stance. My older sister asked me, “What do you see?” I said, “Above your head I see silver stars, and a purple-gold flower is spinning in your lower abdomen.” My sisters told me those were Falun installed by Master. I asked why I could see these things even though my celestial eye was not open. They said I had a predestined relationship with Dafa, and they encouraged me to seriously consider practicing. I replied, “Maybe later.”
I dreamed one night that I went to a large temple where I saw a tall, kind-looking man wearing a blue suit. He was teaching the Fa to a group of people. I asked someone if he could heal illnesses. The person said yes, and I woke up feeling happy.
I went to my oldest sister’s house the next day and told her about the dream. She handed me the book Zhuan Falun and said, “Take a look at this.” When I opened the book, I was shocked and exclaimed, “This is the man from my dream!” I was stunned and wondered how I could have dreamed about her master. She said Master was giving me a hint. I found it unbelievable, and tears streamed down my face. My mind went blank. After I calmed down, I decided to practice Falun Dafa. This happened in the summer of 1998.
I read Zhuan Falun several times, and I was happy beyond words. I realized this was a heavenly book and teaches people to follow the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, to be good people, think of others first, avoid fighting for personal gain, not strike back when one is hit or insulted, and learn to endure. My daughter and I went to the practice site every evening to study the Fa and do the exercises. Before long, Rong’s problem miraculously disappeared. She became cheerful and had more energy. Every aspect of her life improved. It was as if she had become a completely different person.
Falun Dafa changed my daughter’s life and mine. By studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, all of my illnesses disappeared as well, including my insomnia, frozen shoulder, sciatica, gynecological problems, and a cyst in my lower abdomen. Master purified my body. Whenever relatives and friends asked how my daughter recovered, I told them she practiced Falun Dafa. They all said Falun Dafa was amazing and miraculous.
One morning during group exercises, I gradually entered a tranquil state while doing the second exercise. I suddenly saw a vast sea of flowers. They were incredibly beautiful. I realized they were plum blossoms. After the exercise music ended, I was still immersed in the scene. On my way home, I kept thinking about how beautiful the flowers were. After breakfast, as I was leaving for work, I looked up and noticed a picture of plum blossoms pasted above the door. Suddenly I remembered that behind the picture was a Buddhist talisman that someone at a temple wrote for me years earlier when I took my daughter there because I wanted her to be healed. I had completely forgotten about it. I immediately removed it. Master used the plum blossoms to enlighten me. Master is always by our side and knows everything about each practitioner. In order for us to cultivate diligently and succeed, Master devoted immense effort. I am deeply grateful for Master’s compassionate protection.
I became sleepy while I read the Fa. I sent righteous thoughts, but it did not seem to help. Then, I had the thought: “I should memorize the Fa.” At first, memorizing the Fa was very difficult. Sometimes I could not even memorize one page a day. But I did not give up or pursue speed. Instead, I carefully memorized every word. Through memorizing the Fa, I discovered many of my attachments, including resentment, competitiveness, complaining, fear, the pursuit of comfort, laziness, zealotry, vanity, and the desire to outdo others.
One day, I felt discomfort in my neck. When I touched it, I found a small lump on the right side. Since it did not hurt, I ignored it and I continued memorizing the Fa. After some time, however, the lump became larger. It hurt when I lowered my head to wash my hair, and at night I could only sleep on my right side because lying on the left side was impossible. The lump became very noticeable, growing to about the size of an egg (4.5–4.8 cm). My family was alarmed and urged me to go to the hospital for an examination. I felt uncertain, so I went for an ultrasound. The doctor diagnosed it as a thyroid cyst and said surgery was necessary to prevent it from becoming cancerous. My family and I felt tremendous pressure and fear. My husband asked whether I wanted surgery. I said I did not and preferred conservative treatment. Although that was what I said outwardly, inwardly I wondered why evil factors found loopholes in my cultivation to interfere with and persecute me.
Even though I studied the Fa and did the exercises, I hadn’t truly cultivated my heart and still clung to many attachments. I was not truly acting according to the Fa. However, I clearly understood that “True cultivators have no illnesses, since my Law Bodies have eliminated them.” (“Explaining the Fa for Falun Dafa Assistants in Changchun,” Further Discussions on Falun Dafa)
I realized this was a test of my faith in Master and the Fa. I firmly decided against surgery and wanted to return home. When my family heard this, their facial expressions changed immediately. They said, “If you go to the hospital, you should listen to the doctor. If surgery is needed, then do it. It won’t stop you from practicing.” I replied, “Master is taking care of me. Once I go home and practice, I will recover.” Seeing my determination, my family warned me not to blame them later if anything happened.
After adjusting my mindset, I focused on memorizing the Fa seriously and let go of thoughts about illness. With firm faith in Master and the Fa, I believed there was no tribulation I could not overcome. No matter how much it hurt, I ignored it and I continued memorizing the Fa diligently. One day, a family member suddenly said, “Your lump is gone!” I don’t know when it disappeared. As Master said, “Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
I know Master who removed the bad substance. I am deeply grateful for Master’s protection.
My relatives, friends, and coworkers were astonished and asked whether I had surgery. I said no. They wondered how the lump disappeared. Happily, I told them it was healed by Falun Dafa and Master. I used the opportunity to clarify the truth about the persecution to them, and they all agreed to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations. They said Falun Dafa truly is miraculous.
I am deeply grateful for compassionate and great Master’s salvation. It is truly a tremendous blessing for me to be able to cultivate Dafa in this lifetime. Under Master’s protection, we have passed through tribulation after tribulation. The only way I can repay Master is by cultivating diligently, doing the three things well, and living up to Master’s compassionate expectations.
