(Minghui.org) I came across Falun Dafa while I was researching meditation practices. The first time experience I had was that a warm current flew down from my head to my entire body, and the chronic pain in my back immediately went away. I felt that this was a very powerful practice and immediately wanted to study Master Li’s teachings. I learned the exercises through a practitioner friend who gave me a copy of Zhuan Falun.
After I started reading Zhuan Falun, I felt like all the old truths I knew started to fall apart like a house of cards. Master explains the truths about the universe and life in very simple language, and his teachings deeply touched me.
At first, I couldn’t do the exercises every day, but I noticed that I was less tired and didn’t need as much sleep on the days I did them. I usually felt stressed and irritable if I slept less than eight hours, but after I began doing the exercises, I only needed to sleep four or five hours. I no longer felt stressed and I thought Falun Dafa was really amazing.
Master said,
“I advise everyone that if you truly want to cultivate you should quit smoking from now on, and it is guaranteed that you can quit. In the field of this class, no one thinks of smoking a cigarette. If you want to quit, it is guaranteed that you can do it. When you smoke a cigarette again, it will not taste right. If you read this lecture in the book, it will also have this effect.” (Lecture Seven, Zhuan Falun)
I smoked two and a half packs of cigarettes a day. When I tried to smoke after I began practicing, my stomach ached and felt so queasy that I couldn’t smoke. At first, I thought it was psychological. When I ate and wanted to smoke, I couldn’t. That day, I could only smoke half a cigarette, which was incredible.
I also used drugs and drank alcohol. It usually takes years of treatment and a lot of medication to get rid of these severe addictions. I would also need psychological support. Master saved me and my life, and in a matter of months, I was free of all these addictions. It is truly amazing!
I often travel for business, and when I tell people that I quit drugs and alcohol without taking medication or going to a doctor, they ask how I was able to do this. I tell them that Falun Dafa is amazing and that I’ve been able to quit because of Dafa. My experience helped many people realize how good and effective Falun Dafa is. I direct them to Zhuan Falun and the main Falun Dafa website. Some people’s third eyes opened when they did the Falun Dafa meditation. Those who knew me before said the change in me was incredible—I went from being irritable and addicted to alcohol to being a positive person.
Master teaches us to be good people and to follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance—these are the universe’s fundamental principles. In the eight years that I’ve practiced and done the Falun Dafa exercises, I noticed that I haven’t aged—instead I look younger. I’ll be 41 this year, but people think I’m in my 20's.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to spread propaganda to slander Falun Dafa and it imprisons practitioners. Why is such a magnificent practice persecuted so severely? In fact, this is a battle between good and evil. Therefore, humanity must be sure whose side it is on.
Many people I spoke to were deeply saddened when they heard that Falun Dafa was persecuted by the CCP. I witnessed the people who signed the petition being blessed by Master. During the COVID-19 pandemic, none of the people who signed the petition were infected with the virus.
One day, I told my colleague about Falun Dafa practice, and he was very happy to hear about it and decided to practice. We started reading Zhuan Falun together during a break. I showed him the exercises and he was very eager to practice. When he came to the office a few days later, he looked anxious. He said he was in a car with his cousin and they were speeding down the highway. They had to pass between two cars. There was a gap between the two cars that was small enough for a motorcycle to pass through, but they drove between them. They thought, “We’re definitely going to die.” But somehow they didn’t have an accident. When he came to the office and told me, “What we experienced is not normal, how did we drive between the cars? We were protected.” His hands shook.
Master said,
“I treat every student of ours as my disciple, including those who can truly cultivate through studying on their own. In teaching cultivation toward high levels, it would not work if I did not guide you this way. Otherwise, it would equate to not being responsible and acting recklessly. We have given you so many things and have let you know so many principles that everyday people should not know. I have taught you this Dafa and will also give you many, many other things. Your bodies have been purified, and certain other issues are also involved, so for me to not treat you as disciples just wouldn’t do.” (Lecture Three, Zhuan Falun)
I knew that Master had protected him. I witnessed how Master blessed veteran practitioners and those who were just starting out, as well as all those who had positive thoughts about Falun Dafa. Master’s great compassion is incomparable.
