(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 2020. In fact, Master was already looking after me before I even began my journey of cultivation practice, and he saved my life. I would like to share the miracle I experienced with fellow practitioners.
Before I began practicing, I suffered from a multitude of ailments. Doctors couldn’t even identify some of the conditions, and treatments proved ineffective. I lived in constant pain and suffering, practically all day long.
Insomnia and Severe Sleep Apnea
I suffered from severe insomnia and severe sleep apnea. Even just after falling asleep, I would find myself gasping for air in a dream, unable to wake up, like I was in a life-or-death struggle. Every time I finally woke, I felt utterly exhausted and drained of all strength.
Allergies, Liver and Gallbladder Diseases, and Cervical Spine Nerve Compression
I suffered from severe skin allergies; my skin reacted to temperature fluctuations and air pollution. Contact with cold air caused swelling, so I was afraid to go out in the winter. In summer, washing my hands with tap water made my fingers swell until they were thick like small carrots, rendering them unable to bend. Swimming in the summer caused alarming redness and swelling all over my body, accompanied by dizziness and a sensation of suffocation.
My liver and gallbladder condition was also severe, causing me pain more than a dozen times daily. My dietary intake had to be carefully regulated—neither too much nor too little—and foods that were hard, sticky, or cold had to be avoided. My abdomen was constantly severely bloated.
I had issues with my lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine. My cervical spine was the most severely affected, with compression impacting two-thirds of the nerve. Several hospitals had recommended replacing the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical vertebrae. I suffered from chronic, severe numbness in my hands and feet, and at times, I lost control of my movements when walking. When an episode struck, I would lose my balance, feel dizzy, experience numbness all over, and have difficulty breathing.
An Unexpected Encounter
One day in 2019, while chatting with my wife in the living room, I was suddenly struck by a severe flare-up of my cervical spine condition. Weakly, I told her, “I don’t feel well,” and then—clinging to the last shreds of my consciousness—I made my way into the bedroom and lay down, gripped by an unprecedented sense of dread.
My wife came over and asked what was wrong. Feeling terrible, I said, “Let me lie down for a bit—don’t talk to me.” A few seconds later, my vision went black, and I could see nothing. My breathing grew faint, and numbness spread from my head to my toes. I could no longer feel my limbs—only the faintest trace of my own breath. Then, even that sensation of breathing vanished, and my fear reached its absolute peak. After that, the fear itself slowly faded away.
I felt like a ripple spreading outward, growing ever fainter; my feeble thoughts were gradually fading away, and I sensed that the next step would be the “other world” that people speak of. Then, the ripple vanished, and the water’s surface smoothed over. In that moment, I felt myself hovering on the threshold of death, slowly drifting toward that other world.
Just then, drawing on an unknown source of strength, I said to myself, “Master Li Hongzhi, Master Li Hongzhi.” After calling out for Master twice, a miracle occurred: everything that had just happened seemed to reverse, like a movie playing in rewind. I saw the ripples on the water receding; I felt fear, sensed my own breathing, felt the numbness throughout my body, and became aware of my fingers and toes. Then, the pitch darkness faded, and I could open my eyes. It was as if nothing had happened and I felt absolutely no discomfort.
As I sat there, the pain and fear vanished. I felt it was truly miraculous—as if Master had saved my life. However, because my enlightenment quality was poor, I did not immediately begin practicing Dafa.
Sacred Connection with Falun Dafa
A year later, while at home thinking about the future, specifically the end of my life, I wondered if I had any regrets. I thought about my family members one by one. Finally, when I turned my thoughts to myself, I felt a profound regret: that I had not practiced Dafa during this lifetime. I then went and found the book Zhuan Falun.I previously had two opportunities to practice Dafa; on both occasions, however, I failed to truly start to practice. I sat on the floor, holding Zhuan Falun, and thought to myself: “If there is an afterlife, I hope for another chance to practice Dafa.” I felt too ashamed to voice this wish, because I felt unworthy of such an opportunity.After a long standoff, I thought, “I’m going for it—dignity be damned; I can’t afford to leave myself with any more regrets.” So, I said to myself: “If I have a future life, I hope to have another chance to obtain the Fa.”No sooner had the words been spoken than my entire room vanished; I found myself sitting in a space filled entirely with light, surrounded above, below, and on all sides by white light extending vertically beyond sight—while a voice spoke, “This is your next life; you can begin your cultivation right now.”That voice penetrated the depths of my soul, and I understood everything—with a clarity I had never experienced before. Yes! I was still alive; I could practice cultivation right then and there! I resolved on the spot to succeed in cultivation and to see it through to the end, studying the Fa and doing the exercises. As long as I was alive, I had to read Zhuan Falun immediately.
A Life Renewed
The first thing I did was to quit smoking, as I had a very strong addiction. From the moment I made up my mind to quit, it was completely effortless; in the more than five years since, I haven’t even thought about smoking. It was Master who helped me eliminate this addiction.On the very day I began practicing, I lay on my back to sleep; my mindset was simply to let things take their course—I was ready to face whatever might come. I fell asleep quickly after lying down; the severe insomnia and sensations of suffocation vanished completely. I slept soundly until morning and felt a sense of lightness throughout my body when I woke up.From the very day I resolved to practice, all my ailments—large and small—vanished. They didn’t disappear gradually. From that first day, every symptom was gone. Even a minor condition like rhinitis cleared up completely and never recurred. I haven’t taken a single pill, visited a hospital, spent a penny, or even suffered the slightest discomfort since then.After I began practicing, my appearance changed dramatically in a very short time. My mother was astonished when she saw me and asked, “What has happened to you lately? You look like a completely different person.” When I was ill, my complexion and lips were purplish-blue, and my eyes looked dull and yellowish. Now, my complexion is healthy, my eyes are bright, and my hair has turned black and lustrous.I cannot imagine how much Master has endured for me. I am deeply grateful to compassionate Master for giving me a new life! I thank Master for once again granting me the opportunity to cultivate. Words cannot express my gratitude for Master’s salvation.
