(Minghui.org) After a relative in Japan contacted me and said that he had started practicing Falun Dafa, I had a dream. I was walking through a bustling market when I saw a man at a stall writing calligraphy. I navigated through the crowd and saw him write “Dafa.”

After waking up, the dream lingered vividly in my mind. I went online to learn about Falun Dafa and what it teaches. After researching it, I realized how wonderful it was and immediately began practicing on my own using the instructional videos provided online.

After learning the five exercises, my eyes felt itchy, so I looked in the mirror and discovered what appeared to be loose eyelashes in my eyes. When I pulled them out and rubbed them between my fingers, I saw about a dozen eyelashes clumped together. It was unbelievable that such things had been in my eyes. I realized that Master Li had cleansed my eyes for me! This showed me how incredibly powerful the practice is.

Later, my Japanese relatives sent me a copy of the sacred book Zhuan Falun, which I read from cover to cover. Due to my spouse’s work, I practiced alone, doing the exercises or reading the books whenever I had time. I mainly relied on Minghui.org to learn about Falun Dafa. For many years, I practiced intermittently, but I knew it was good and that I wanted to be a good person. However, I did not strictly follow the teachings to improve my xinxing or cultivate diligently.

I had another dream. I saw Master driving a large bus while I stood in front of it. Master opened the front door, extended his hand to me, and urgently called me to get on the bus. Every time I recall this, I cry, thinking of how much Master worried about me. Thank you, Master.

I saw a tall building not far behind me, from which people were rushing to board the bus. I was surrounded by people trying to get on the bus, but they couldn’t manage it. Fortunately, the people didn’t push me out of the way. Master reached out to me and shouted, “Hurry up and get on the bus.”

After waking up, I felt both happy and disappointed. I was happy that Master appeared in my dream so vividly and clearly. I was disappointed because I had let Master down and caused him to worry about me, reminding me that I should cultivate more diligently. Later, I found a way to tell people about Falun Dafa and save people that I felt comfortable with, and I continue to do so. I have also become more diligent in doing the exercises, reading the books, and improving my xinxing.

As long as I can remember, my father has always been a healthy person, rarely falling ill. After retiring, he joined a cycling team and often rode long distances. At 69, he rode all the way to Lhasa without the aid of an oxygen tank. Those who were aware of it at the time envied my father for his exceptional health at that age.

However, in 2020, my father suddenly began experiencing hematuria (blood in the urine). After an examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with malignant bladder cancer and informed that he required immediate surgery, followed by two to three years of chemotherapy.

Since I was living outside of China, I only learned about the situation shortly before my father’s surgery, which made me very anxious. At that time, he was in his early 70s, and my mother was a year older than him. I knew it was not feasible to rely solely on my mother to care for him.

I immediately called my father to ask him about the situation. He didn’t want to undergo chemotherapy because it would be painful. I told him, “There is a painless method, which is to practice Falun Dafa.” I asked him if he was willing to practice. He immediately said, “Yes!”

After spending a few days in the hospital, my father returned home. With the help of local Falun Dafa practitioners, he learned the exercises and obtained videos of Master’s lectures. From then on, my father did not take a single pill, did not undergo chemotherapy, quit smoking and drinking, stopped eating raw food, and spent his days listening to lectures and practicing the exercises. Two months later, he was completely recovered.

I told my father, “You should thank Master. It was Master who saved you and gave you a second chance in life.” My father immediately replied that he would practice diligently and devote himself to the practice. Five years have passed, and now, whenever relatives see my father, they ask, “Why do you look younger and younger?” They find his appearance and good health incredible.

My mother was pleased to see my father in such good health. She recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day, and her symptoms of Ménière’s disease improved significantly. Previously, she experienced episodes several times a year, each requiring a hospital visit for treatment, which took at least a week to recover from. Now, simply reciting the auspicious phrases brings relief the same day. During the COVID-19 pandemic in China, both my parents remained in good health. Once again, I sincerely thank our Master.

After countless eons of waiting, Master has guided me onto the path of cultivation, leading me back to my true self and my heavenly realm. Words cannot express my gratitude to Master. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is something I will cherish deeply and strive to make the most of through diligent practice.
