(Minghui.org) I’m an elderly lady and only attended school for three years. I had many illnesses, and I was paralyzed for four and a half years. When my life seemed hopeless, my sister’s relative suggested that I practice Falun Dafa in April 1994. At that time, I could not sit. I could only lie on my side and listen to the recordings of Master’s lectures. Afterwards I no longer needed medication. Within two weeks I was able to get out of bed.
When I first began meditating, I could only sit for a minute or two. No matter how painful it was, I persisted. I was gradually able to sit for two and a half hours. When I did the first set of exercises, my elbows hurt so much that they kept sweating, but six months later the pain stopped. My body became free of illnesses and I’m grateful to Master from the bottom of my heart. Master saved me and gave me a new lease on life!
Believe in Dafa
In July 1999 former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) head Jiang Zemin ordered the persecution of Falun Dafa, and practitioners were arrested and imprisoned. In order to clarify the truth about the persecution, I distributed materials in my village. I did not understand how to cultivate, so I took doing things as cultivation. I thought the amount of things I did showed how diligently I cultivated.
I was reported by someone who did not understand the truth, and I was illegally detained. I did not eat or drink and within two weeks my weight went from more than 120 pounds to around 70 pounds. I was sent to a detention center and held there for a month. I was later sent to a brainwashing center, where I was incarcerated for three months.
There were more than thirty Falun Dafa practitioners there. We refused to be transformed and went on a hunger strike. We sent forth righteous thoughts together. The guards tried to stop us, but they failed and called for reinforcements. However, the phone call did not get through. The telephones and mobile phones did not work. We all witnessed how amazing Falun Dafa is and became even more steadfast in our belief.
Falun Dafa Is Amazing
I went out to distribute materials, but it was so dark that I could not see. I thought it would be good if there were lights to shine the way. As soon as I had that thought, a light suddenly turned on. I felt this was encouragement, and I quickly distributed the materials. I headed home as soon as I finished, and the light turned off.
When I later went to the area, I wondered why the light was not on and someone said, “This light has not worked for many years.” I silently thanked Master!
It snowed heavily one winter and the pipes froze. There was no water, so we could not cook. I went to a neighbor’s house to get water, but their water pipes were also frozen.
After returning home, I thought that even though there was no water to cook with, the kids still needed to eat. What should I do? Just as I was feeling troubled, I thought of Master again and said to Master, “Master! My pipes are frozen. The children need to eat. Please help me get some water.” Just as I finished saying that, I turned on the tap and water flowed out. I was so happy and quickly got a pail. I asked my neighbor if they had water and they said no. I said, “I’ll bring you water.” When I brought the pail my neighbor asked how I got the water.” I said, “I asked Master.” They knew that I practiced Falun Dafa and they said, “Dafa is really miraculous!”
My eldest daughter was going to Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province. Halfway there the car was about to run out of gas and there were no gas stations in the area. She remembered that I always reminded her to say, “Falun Dafa is Good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good,” and this would save her from disaster. She sincerely said the words and after driving for more than 40 miles, she found a petrol kiosk. When my daughter returned, she was very moved and told me, “Mom, it is unbelievable. The car had no gas but I was able to drive it for more than 40 miles. This is miraculous! If I hadn’t experienced it personally, I wouldn’t believe it. Dafa is so miraculous! Thank you, Master!”
I was hit by a car as I rode my bicycle in the summer of 2015. I landed about twenty to thirty meters away and my shoes and clothes were torn. The driver drove away. Two primary school students helped me up. My legs hurt, but I ignored the pain and went home. My legs were very painful so I said to Master, “Master, I did not ask the driver for money or complain. Please stop the pain.” The pain was gone in the morning and I was fine.
Another time I was hit by a motorcycle. Although my clavicle was broken, I did not ask the driver for money or take any injection or medication. Two months later I was able to ride my bicycle again.
I’ve had so many miraculous experiences and I only mentioned some of them. Thank you, Master! I am so lucky to be a Falun Dafa practitioner!
Surprised That I’m Still Alive
I met a person from my hometown. I greeted her, but she did not recognize me. I told her who I was. She was surprised and said, “You’re still alive! We all thought you had died years ago. You look so good.” I said, “I began practicing Falun Dafa and my illnesses went away.” She said, “Falun Dafa? Isn’t that banned by the CCP? Did you really recover by practicing Falun Dafa?”
I said, “It’s true. Look at me. I’m alive and healthy. The CCP never made it illegal to practice Falun Dafa, so they are lying when they claim practicing is a crime. Jiang Zemin fabricated the lie in 1999 to persecute Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa is a high level teaching that guides people to become better based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. Whoever practices Falun Dafa will benefit from it. The police came to my house to harass me and said they would detain, transform and brainwash me. They pressured me to sign a guarantee statement to give up Falun Dafa. I told them that was impossible.
“You remember how sick I was. I could not take care of myself and life was worse than death. Who cared? No one. Now that I’m healthy, they pressure me to stop practicing. What’s wrong with abiding by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance? Even primary school students know that the opposite meaning of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance is Fake, Evil and Fighting. Since they don’t let people abide by Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, does the CCP want people to follow Fake, Evil and Fighting?
“Please sincerely recite, “Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good” and it will help you to avert disasters. Dafa is miraculous and amazing!”
In the remaining time left I will follow Master’s teachings to study the Fa well and save more people so that I’ll be worthy of being a Falun Dafa practitioner of the Fa-rectification period.
