I am honored to introduce to people around the world some experiences I had after becoming a Falun Dafa cultivator.
Overcoming Hindrances, Witnessing Miracles After Obtaining the Fa
I was born in a strongly Christian family and thus grew up with Christian teachings. I revered God and was straightforward, honest, and kind. Out of fear of being punished for doing the wrong thing, I exercised prudence to do things properly.
However, as I grew up I started to pursue personal development. I learned that only by not following the rules set forth by the church could I acquire more. I figured that by staying outside the church, as long as I knew what was right in my heart, I would still be able to hold onto my faith. When I decided to leave the church, my husband could not accept it. I spent over a year trying to convince him to accept my decision. He did not and continued to hope that I would follow the principles of the Christian faith based on church guidelines.
On September 15, 2020, I decided to take my 5-year-old daughter and move into my younger sister՚s home. She had been practicing Falun Dafa for just a month.
My sister took me in with great warmth. She introduced me to the spiritual practice of Falun Dafa. The Falun Dafa principles she gradually told me caught my attention, and I started doing the exercises and reading the book Zhuan Falun. After learning more about Dafa, I realized that this was what I wanted. I really love Falun Dafa.
During the two months I lived with my sister, my husband called me in despair. He said while crying, that he wanted me to return home and he would respect my decision to not follow Christianity. I thought about the Fa principles of Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance), and out of kindness toward my family I realized that I had to return home and help them out. My husband accepted my change when I returned home. However, he did not want to listen to anything I said about Falun Dafa. He thought I was lost. I realized that I had an attachment to fear, which I had to remove.
My sister gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun and I started reading the book and doing the five exercises every day. Slowly, life in my family turned harmonious, and my husband became more calm and patient as each day passed.
I went to help my husband with the house we were building. In the past, I would not be able to do heavy work. Now, I filled up 50 buckets of lime powder on the first day and I did not feel tired at all. The next day, I was going to keep up with my heavy load of work. I felt that my work and my thinking were no longer the same as they were in the past. I was thankful for all that happened. Through all the tribulations, I have improved my xinxing.
Due to the Chinese Communist Party virus (Wuhan pneumonia), our daughter could not go to school. We started listening to Minghui Radio. I was reading the Falun Dafa teachings to my husband and asked him whether he would start practicing the exercises. I explained we would be cultivating Zhen-Shan-Ren every day. Gradually, he started cultivating in Zhen-Shan-Ren and learned to discern when it was time to improve his xinxing.
In September 2021, we went to visit my in-laws. My father-in-law was backing his car out of the garage. After the garage door was opened, my husband was directing his father to back out. However, he got out of the car to get something from the house and forgot to put the brake on. Right at that moment, the car was backing out of the garage on its own and was accelerating. My husband was standing behind it but did not know that his father was not in the car.
The car kept moving but did not hit my husband. It went down the slope outside the garage, dodged a car parked on the street, and went by an electric pole on the other side of the street. In the end, it was stopped when it hit a tree and sustained only minor damage. It was really a miracle.
I am grateful to Master Li, as I knew He was protecting us from serious injury.
My Cancer Is Fully Healed
In 2011, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I had to have surgery to remove the whole thyroid as it no longer produced any hormones. The physician specializing in treating tumors told me that my health would be drastically impacted, and I would not be able to have any babies. After the surgery, I had to take synthetic thyroxine (the thyroid hormone) for the rest of my life as my body could no longer produce it. Although I had not yet started practicing Falun Dafa, Master was protecting me just the same. In 2015, I gave birth to my daughter, who was in perfect health.
Before practicing Falun Dafa, I followed the doctor's instructions and took the hormone every day. If I forgot to take it, I would be slow in thinking, act irrationally, feel sleepy, and sometimes my body would swell. I could even die if I stopped taking the thyroxine.
About one year after I started practicing Falun Dafa, I decided to stop taking the hormone and continued to feel quite well. When my parents learned that I no longer took thyroxine, they forced me to have a physical examination. I told them that I was a cultivator, and there was no need to take medicine. At their insistence, I had a medical exam.
When my husband told the physician my medical history, she told him to find someone to take care of our daughter as I would not be able to live without the hormone. I told the physician, “I՚m cultivating in Falun Dafa. There is no need to take medicine.” She asked me, “Can cancer be healed by cultivation?” “Yes,” I answered. She said she would like to look at my test results.
I followed the physician՚s requirements and took all the tests. When I brought the test results to her, she was scared. It turned out that the medical instruments were not able to measure the level of thyroxine in my blood. The reading was so high, it exceeded the upper limits of the test instrument. She looked at me, and said in a fearful voice, “I don՚t know how you are alive, right in front of me.” She explained in surprise that it went beyond her understanding of the reality Falun Dafa practitioners live in as it differs so much from modern medical science.
I am most grateful to Master Li for bestowing me this miracle of life, and most grateful for helping me become and stay upbeat, all the way to this day.
