(Minghui.org) I am 56, and began to practice Falun Dafa in 2019.
I was hospitalized for chronic inflammatory bowel disease in August 2018. The symptoms of this disease are loose, frequent stools with pus and blood. The patient needs to take medication for life. At the beginning, I was given only liquid food, consisting of porridge without rice grains. As the symptoms eased, I could gradually eat soft foods like egg custard. Besides taking pills and having intravenous drips, the other form of treatment is an enema, which I had to undergo daily. I shudder when I recall the treatment.
I was admitted to the hospital five times within nine months, from August 2018 to May 2019. When I was admitted for the 5th time in May 2019, the illness had worsened. I passed blood, and was in a state of incontinence. I became thin beyond recognition and was extremely weak. I saw double images, and had difficulty walking. My family was asked to be prepared for surgery to remove the colon.
My family did not agree to the operation, and requested that I be allowed to go home to continue taking medication, and undergo conservative treatment. My condition worsened. At this time, I completely lost confidence in recovery and had lost hope.
Just when I was in utter despair, my wife said to me, “Give Falun Dafaa try.” My wife has been a Falun Dafa practitioner (also called Falun Gong) since 1998 and has witnessed many amazing recoveries. She asked me to learn it many times, but I was misled by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) deceitful propaganda against Falun Gong, and thought what my wife said were fairy tales.
The desire to live prompted me to try and learn the exercises with my wife. The next day the frequency of bowel movements was reduced, and I passed less blood. This was unexpected and I was stunned. Such a change occurred, even though I hadn’t learned all the exercises, and had only read a few pages of Zhuan Falun, the main book of the Falun Dafa cultivation practice. It was unimaginable!
I experienced more improvements every day. Gradually, my bowel movements were almost normal, and I passed less and less blood. By then I had gained confidence in Falun Dafa. I persisted in reading the teachings more often, and doing the exercises diligently. A week later, my stools became normal, and there was no blood in it. My wife and I were so moved, we burst into tears. Why had I turned a blind eye to such a wonderful practice all these years?
I have fully recovered now and am a healthy, normal person. I insist on studying the Fa and practice the exercises every day. I attend a regular Fa-study group where we read the teachings together, and go out with other practitioners to clarify the truth about Dafa.
I am happy to become a Falun Dafa practitioner after going through this tribulation. I realized that it was Master’s arrangement. He used this opportunity to let people like me become Dafa disciples. The Buddha’s grace is infinite!
I hope my experience can help others gain a correct and clear understanding of Falun Dafa. Don’t be misled by the CCP’s slander and lies.
