(Minghui.org) By the time I was in my 30s, I was suffering from all kinds of health problems. Life was hard, and I thought I would be better off dead than alive. But in 1998, Falun Dafa changed my life. Not only have I been blessed, but also my family. Here is my story.
When I was young, I had cervical spondylosis, Meniere’s disease, and cerebral neuralgia. My immune system was so weak that I couldn’t stand the slightest change in temperature. I had a perpetual cold and had to take some kind of medicine every day, but things just got worse until I was bedridden.
I was only in my 30s, and my two kids were still young. Huge debts overwhelmed me, and death seemed the only solution until I thought about my kids. I had hit rock bottom.
In the fall of 1998, my mother came to see me. All excited, she said, “My dear, please do as I have and learn Falun Dafa, your last hope!” Falun Dafa is a traditional Chinese spiritual discipline based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. My mom told me about the beauty and magnificence of Dafa and that those who practice it follow the principles in their daily lives to improve their characters and become better people.
Incredibly, all my health issues were gone one month after I started to practice Falun Dafa. I was not only disease-free, but I was also full of energy. I hardly ever felt tired. There are no words to express my appreciation to Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa.
I benefited from practicing Falun Dafa in other ways, too.
One summer, I was cooking green bean porridge in a pressure cooker when the lid of the cooker blew off and porridge went everywhere. I was next to the cooker and my right arm and legs were seriously burned. My ankle bones were exposed from the burns. With such serious burns, the doctor was worried about infection. But I believed I would be fine without medical intervention. I kept on reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” In two weeks, I was fully recovered.
I am not the only who one who has benefited from it. Master said in Teachings at the Conference in Australia, “with one person practicing, the whole family benefits...”
In 2010 when my son was 15 years old, according to our local custom, he went to worship our ancestors with the family on the lunar new year. They left early on a foggy morning. An electric tricycle with six passengers and a driver hit my son, threw him into the air, and ran over his legs. Everyone was scared. They rushed to check on my son, but he was totally fine. Only his pants were torn. The bystanders couldn’t believe it—a three wheeler with seven adults weighing at least three tons ran over him and yet he was fine.
When I rushed over, the driver was very upset and kept crying. “Don’t worry,” I said. “You may leave now. Today is New Year’s day. Your family is waiting for you. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, and we will be fine. Master is protecting us. I won’t seek compensation from you, nor do we need to go to the hospital.” The driver couldn’t have been more grateful. “You are really good person. Thank you so much!” he said.
In tears, my son later told me, “Mom, when I was on the ground, I saw Master lifting the vehicle over me. I really saw it! Thank you, Master!”
In the fall of 2013, my son was heading home from school on an electric bicycle when a motorcycle ran into him, knocking him into a ditch full of stones. Those who witnessed the accident thought that my son would be seriously injured—if he wasn’t dead.
As I was racing to the scene, I begged Master to save my son. Indeed, he was fine, just a few scratches and no major injury. But the other young man who hit him was seriously injured. His helmet was crushed and he couldn’t get up. He was rushed to the hospital with four broken ribs. It must have been Master who saved my son again.
My husband is the youngest in his family and has a disability. His parents and brothers decided that he did not have to contribute to supporting their parents, but we still shared that obligation. After his parents passed away, his older brothers divided the inheritance among themselves, leaving us very little. We didn’t fight with them and let it go in light of Dafa’s teaching.
