It's with a heavy heart that I write this article about a vision I saw in a dream, and I hope this article can encourage fellow practitioners not to slack off in cultivation. Fa-rectification has almost reached its end, so let's be diligent and seize the last chance Master has given us to save more people.

In my dream, I saw a dimension similar to ours. The only difference is that it's a bit darker and more desolate. Apart from me, no one else was there.

Suddenly, everything in front of me — the land, the trees, the buildings — started rising up in the air, like a huge spaceship. I saw it very clearly in my dream. As it was rising, its underside was crumbling away, dropping soil as it went.

My gut told me that I did not deserve to board this spaceship, because I hadn't cultivated well. I hadn't fulfilled my vows. Those who deserved to be on this spaceship are genuine cultivators who have met the standards, fulfilled their vows, and gotten rid of all their attachments.

My mind was empty as I stood there, unable to move. I had huge regrets in my heart.

This spaceship was slowly rising. When it was about 10 meters in the air, I saw a row of small, transparent boxes placed on one side of the spaceship, about 20 to 30 in total. The boxes, I felt, should be filled with our mighty virtue. However, my boxes were empty.

There were numbers above each box, which corresponded with the number of sentient beings we saved. If we reached that number, we've met the standard. Only then can we get on this spaceship and follow Master to go to the new universe. However, none of my boxes and numbers matched; I didn't save enough.

I have been involved with some Dafa work in recent years, but my reasons for doing it weren't pure. I belong to the group of practitioners who are not serious about cultivation. I didn't study the Fa regularly, didn't do the exercises, and didn't send righteous thoughts. I also didn't cultivate my xinxing well and haven't saved enough people.

In general, I haven't done well on anything in cultivation.

While writing this, I broke into a cold sweat out of fear. I haven't cultivated well, but the most important thing is that I haven't fulfilled my vows. The consequences for breaching my vows are unimaginable.

In the dream, I thought that everything was done for and that I did not deserve to live anymore. Master has shouldered so much for me over the past years, but I still didn't fulfill my vows. The countless sentient beings in my world would be destroyed and disintegrated.

It is as Master said, “An unparalleled crime!” (Fa Teaching at the 2016 New York Fa Conference)

Master also said,

“...when you realize what you've missed out on you won't even want to live even if you are allowed to!” (Teaching and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa Conference)

Master's words described my feelings at that moment exactly.

The huge spaceship suddenly stopped rising. Master appeared on the right side of it and had been watching me. That kind of sadness and hopelessness I felt was really painful—it felt like someone was cutting my heart open with a knife.

I felt so sorry. My mind was empty at that moment, as any type of thought would be shameful at that time.

Suddenly, the huge spaceship started calling me and came back down, landing slowly. I knew Master didn't want to give up on me, didn't want me to face this kind of extremely horrible consequence. Master showed me his boundless and infinite mercy yet again.

A female practitioner came from behind me and walked onto the layer of earth. She took half of the boxes away. I realized that Master asked this practitioner to shoulder half of my responsibilities, but I must fill up the rest of the boxes by myself, to make it correspond to the numbers above, to compensate for what I had lost. As I had lost countless sentient beings forever due to my lack of diligence, I also won't be able to go back to my original world.

When the female practitioner finished picking up the boxes, Master said, “It will continue to rise in three minutes.” I then woke up from the dream.

Master gave me three more minutes to do well, but I don't know how long that period of time is in the human world. I only know that the time is very short.

The reason I share this dream is that I hope it encourages the practitioners who haven't been diligent to seize the final opportunity and limited time to step out and save people, and let go of their human attachments. Use this final opportunity to compensate for what one has lost; otherwise, the end result would be horrifying. Every minute and every second is a decisive, sink-or-swim moment.

I thank Master for his infinite compassion. I will try my best to do the three things well from now on and assimilate to the Fa as much as possible. The dream awakened me and will become my momentum for doing the three things better and to live up to Master's expectations and compassionate salvation.

I was born into an intellectual family. After graduating from high school, I was admitted to a well-known university in Beijing. I married a person with only an elementary school education. My husband smoked, drank and gambled. I liked arts and music. We often fought, so I asked for a divorce, but he refused. A coworker introduced me to Falun Dafa in the spring of 1999, and I stepped on the path of cultivation. I recovered from rhinitis, breast hyperplasia and other illnesses. I totally changed and was no longer unhappy. About 10 days after I obtained Dafa, I saw the book Zhuan Falun emitting white light. A rotating wheel the size of a car tire appeared in front of me. Three small yellow Falun came out of the wheel. I was nervous and excited. I realized Master was encouraging me to further strengthen my confidence in Dafa cultivation. I often saw words in Zhuan Falun become three-dimensional and emit golden or multi-colored light.

When my son was two years old, I often read the Fa to him and played Master's audio lectures for him. I told him cultivation stories in a way he could understand and taught him how to be a good kid. He always listened with great interest. On two occasions, while I was reading the Fa to him, I saw a person who looked the same as him sitting up from his sleeping body. I realized that my son's main consciousness came out and was eager to study the Fa. My son's celestial eye was open. He often saw colorful Falun and divine beings, which prompted me to cultivate diligently and take care of this little Dafa disciple. Several months after I began practicing Dafa, Jiang Zemin (former Chinese Communist Party leader) launched the cruel persecution of Falun Dafa. However, I was certain that Dafa and Master were good and continued to practice Dafa with my son.

(...)

In his junior year of high school, his ranking in his class moved from the bottom to the top. His teachers and classmates were surprised by his changes. But, he was still addicted to computer games. I downloaded articles from the Minghui website about playing computer games to show him the harm they caused. I sent forth righteous thoughts in my son's bedroom. After finishing sending forth righteous thoughts, I rested on my son's bed and woke to demons pinching me. I wondered why there were demons there after I had sent forth righteous thoughts. I realized that this room was not clean. My son played computer games, and the room was full of low-spirited life, extraterrestrial life, and all kinds of demons. I sent righteous thoughts again. I felt enormous energy coming out of my palm, and the Falun in my celestial eye was rotating quickly. I could tell Master was reinforcing me.

Soon after that, my son told me that he gave away his game card and was determined not to play video games anymore. My son has become a mature practitioner with a cheerful personality. Master has never given up on him, and Dafa is deeply rooted in his heart. We try to be good people by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. During this persecution, Dafa practitioners’ children have suffered tribulations that everyday people cannot imagine. After returning home from prison, many practitioners felt helpless to correct the changes in their children. In fact, their children’s performance also reflects the parents’ cultivation state.

I started practicing Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) with my mother in 1998, when I was just a few years old. Over the years, I have seen many extraordinary scenes in other dimensions, some of which I would like to share here. When I was a child, I visited Nantianmen [also South Heaven Gate, in the legend of China, Nantianmen is the first major gate to enter the Heavenly palace] in another dimension. I remember standing before the bright red entrance with a sense of awe.

A lifelike golden dragon engraved on a pillar of the door watched me with its keen eyes and try as I might, I could not escape its gaze. It felt as though the dragon was trying to teach me some kind of lesson. Whether we perform good or bad deeds, nothing can escape the gaze of heaven. A holy atmosphere permeated the gate and its surroundings, though the inside of the gate was devoid of people.

While walking away from Nantianmen, I suddenly saw a crowd of people standing before me. These people looked white and transparent, resembling the concept of human souls. However, unlike normal humans, they emanated a sense of compassion. They were milling around a large white wall, urgently touching it in turn. Curious, I too went forward to touch that wall and saw the number “fifty” appear on its surface. The significance of that number still remains a mystery to me. I have a faint hint that it could be related to time. Perhaps it is a sign that time is limited and we should seize the opportunity to cultivate.

Once, I visited another dimension of the human world. Dark colors and a gloomy sky overwhelmed this dimension. It appeared very depressing. Most of the inhabitants had lost their souls, while their bodies wandered around like zombies. The only people there who were awake and had retained their souls were Falun Dafa practitioners, but there were so few of us that I estimated we numbered less than one in ten thousand.

As Falun Dafa practitioners, my mother and I belonged to the group of those who were awake. In contrast, my father existed as a soulless person. Although he had quit the Chinese Communist Party, he still firmly stood by its beliefs. Every Falun Dafa practitioner had a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. When practitioners physically touched each zombie with their book, a portion of their consciousness would awaken. However there were some who were too lost and could not be awakened, no matter how much we tried. My father was one of those who failed to wake up.

An extremely evil spirit resided in that dimension. It was an incarnation of the devil, a spokesperson for Satan and the evil communist specter. It drove a taxi, from which it threw sober people into that bleak world. The evil spirit eyed me with hate and anger. Unable to turn me into one of the soulless, it wanted to kill me. I was unafraid as I had Master's fashen protecting me. The evil spirit viewed humans as tools to be used at will. It caught a long haired, soulless woman and tried to use her to harm me. The moment we came into contact, part of the soulless woman began to dissolve into smoke. I felt pain and sadness on seeing this, as I knew her body and soul would be completely eliminated. I realized that evil spirits could not enter the bodies of Falun Dafa practitioners, and were even eliminated on contact. Awakened sentient beings, on the other hand, had to remain vigilant. Evil spirits could revert them to zombies if they let down their guard. In the final scene, I saw a small colorful train ferrying Dafa practitioners away from that bleak world.

In another experience I saw that I had once been a white phoenix. A fellow disciple, a red phoenix, accompanied me. We were spirit birds living in the heavenly realms. One day, Master suddenly called us to his side. I arrived earlier than my fellow disciple and learned that Master intended to teach the heavenly law in the human world. In that instant, I experienced a sense of jealousy. I did not want my fellow disciple to obtain the Fa and become stronger than me. I created two red birds to block his way, delaying his descent to the human realm in hopes of denying him the opportunity to obtain the Fa.

When my fellow disciple finally reached Master’s side, Master asked, “Why were you late?” He replied that two birds had blocked his path. At that moment, I clearly felt that Master knew I was responsible, yet he said nothing. Perhaps he knew that this would result in a difficult tribulation on my cultivation path. As I wished, my fellow disciple reached the human world later than me. We both became disciples of Buddha Shakyamuni. Perhaps because of our past history, my feelings for him seemed strange. I neither liked nor disliked him, but I knew with certainty that I didn't want to meet him. If he happened to be in the same city as me, I would immediately travel to another city. I took great pains to avoid seeing him.

Because I acted out of jealousy and continued to run from my mistake while cultivating in the human world, I was barred from entering the holy land of Buddha, although I was only one step away from the threshold. No matter how fast or high I flew, I was unable to break through that invisible barrier blocking my path. Because I failed to confront my mistake, I was unable to reach enlightenment. From these experiences, I learned the importance of facing up to all of my failings. I hope that sentient beings will learn to treasure this opportunity granted in the Fa rectification period, and cherish their lives by choosing the correct path. Finally, I would like to apologize for my past misdeed. My fellow disciple, please accept my apology!

My father is a janitor responsible for cleaning residential areas. At 7 a.m. on August 25, 2017, he was in an accident in his truck and sustained serious injuries. His legs were stuck in the truck and the bleeding wouldn't stop. He couldn't move. Emergency crews didn't get him to the hospital until 9:40 a.m. He lost so much blood that he was in a coma. When he came to after the doctors worked on him, they said he needed a blood transfusion immediately.

There were no blood supplies in the hospital. The blood did not arrive until 1:00 p.m. Because he lost so much blood, his internal organs started to shut down. The moment blood went in, it would come right out of the wounds in his legs. The doctors warned my family of my father’s condition and told us to be prepared for the worst. My mother, my sister, and I were all in shock and could not believe what was happening. My two aunts came and immediately told us to recite sincerely, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” They told us to ask for Master's protection.

When I was very young, everyone in my grandmother’s family practiced Falun Dafa. Although my mother hasn’t been very diligent in cultivation, she often shared with us wonderful things about Dafa. My two aunts also told us the truth about Dafa when they saw us in person. Because of this, my sister and I respect Dafa from the bottom of our hearts although we are not practitioners. We witnessed the miraculous effect it had on my grandmother, who is close to 90. She has been very healthy and not taken a single pill in the past over-20 years since she started practicing Dafa.

My sister and I immediately recited, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” My aunts and my mother also sent forth righteous thoughts next to my father. In the meantime, we agreed with the doctors’ decision to amputate my father's leg(s). At around 4:00 p.m., my father had to be transferred to another hospital for the operation. Doctors at that hospital also said that my father’s condition was not promising.

At around 6:00 p.m., the doctors recommended that the operation begin immediately. The complex surgery would take over five hours. I signed the paperwork with a heavy heart and sent everyone home to rest while my father was in the operating room. My sister, my brother-in-law, and I waited outside. At around 11:30 p.m., a doctor opened the operating room door and told us to see my father one last time as his heart had already stopped beating. While the doctors were working to resuscitate him again, my mother was sent for. She asked us to get our aunt there immediately.

When my aunt arrived, she reminded us to recite, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” My mother, sister, and I kept sending forth righteous thoughts. After 30 minutes, the doctors told us that my father’s condition had miraculously stabilized. We became confident and continued to recite, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

On the third day, my father woke up. The doctors warned us that, due to the huge blood loss, my father’s organs and brain had suffered significant damage. However, all the tests he had after he woke up came back normal. My mother was afraid that my father might have lost his memory. It turned out that he could clearly remember everything regarding the accident. The doctors could not believe it. They kept saying that it was a miracle and that my father was very lucky. My family has been very happy. We know that Master gave my father another chance at life. We are so grateful to Master and Dafa.

My father also firmly believes in Dafa now. He listens to Master’s lectures every day and has completely recovered. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our revered Master!

I used to suffer from different health problems, including kidney stones and abnormally painful menstruation. During a typical onset, I became very weak and could not get out of bed for a week, rolling around in extreme pain. A relative introduced me to Dafa. Soon after I took up the practice, my ailments went away. My family and relatives saw the changes in me and thanked Dafa and its founder, Master Li Hongzhi.

My aged mother had had asthma and suffered from the effects of cerebral thrombosis for years. After she followed my advice and recited “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” she was cured of her illnesses. My father, who is in his 70s, developed blisters on his body. As they broke and the fluid oozed out, his skin would then blister in those areas. Before long, his whole body was covered in blisters. The itching and aching became unbearable, and he could not lie down or sleep well. He sought treatment at renowned hospitals without success.

Later, he suffered from hydrothorax (fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity) and had to be hospitalized and put on oxygen. In order to release the fluid, the doctor drilled a hole in his chest. Despite the pain and expense, the condition persisted. In the end, he believed in Dafa and recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He also listened to Master's audio lectures and threw away the medications that had proved useless. The blisters and hydrothorax were both cured soon afterward. It was truly a testimony to Dafa's power.

My husband and son benefited from Dafa as well. My husband had hepatitis, a gastric ulcer and perforation, and stomach hemorrhage. He was cured after reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He was once riding his younger sister's motorcycle to the market when a truck hit him. He was thrown two meters away while the motorcycle got stuck inside the truck. However, he escaped with only a slight injury to his ankle. My son's herniated lumbar disc was also cured because he believed in Dafa and supported my practice. Both my husband and son work out of town and, under Master's care and protection, are successful and safe.

Many people in our village have witnessed the tremendous benefits our family has gained from Dafa, and nobody would believe the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda defaming Dafa anymore. One of our fellow villagers even started practicing Dafa herself. This villager used to have a herniated lumbar disc, pneumonia, and an abnormally thick neck. All of these conditions were cured soon after she started practicing Dafa. Her family members were all grateful to Dafa and Master and started to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” themselves.

One day, her husband was riding a tricycle with no brakes down a steep hill. He was going too fast and was about to crash when the tricycle came to a sudden halt on the slope, preventing a potentially fatal accident. He realized right away that Master was protecting him. On another occasion, their cow was poisoned after eating grass contaminated with pesticide. It lay lifeless on the ground. The practitioner knew it was a life-and-death moment and pleaded, “Master, our cow just had a calf. It will cost two lives if our cow dies. Please help us!” The cow soon recovered.

My family has seen the power of Dafa, and we are all tremendously grateful to Master and Dafa.

As Dafa practitioners, we do not belong within the Three Realms, and this human world should not have any effect on us. Human notions may however sometimes create additional difficulties for cultivators. I would like to share some of my personal experiences in breaking though human notions. I woke up one morning to a swollen and painful throat. I instantly attributed these symptoms to certain foods I had eaten the day before, and a few glasses of water effectively relieved my sore throat. My symptoms recurred the following morning, and two glasses of water again helped to relieve the discomfort and pain. On the third day however, the symptoms refused to go away no matter how much water I consumed.

That evening, while contemplating why the water was not working, the word “human notion” suddenly appeared in my mind. I pondered over these two words before suddenly realizing that I had been treating the issue like an ordinary person. I was believing that my condition was an illness and viewing water as a medication to relieve the symptoms. Practitioners should strive to think otherwise, and I resolved to eliminate this human notion. This realization prompted me to search inward for the cause of my sore throat. A few days prior, I had a conflict with my wife. Though I refrained from arguing with her, I was upset, and the resentful, accusatory, and hostile thoughts I harbored against her were unbecoming of a cultivator. My sore throat disappeared as soon as I recognized and eliminated this shortcoming.

I had suffered from severe backaches for a long time. The pain would flare up in the midst of my daily activities, forcing me to lie down for a while to relieve the aching. As cultivators should be free of illnesses, I started searching within myself for the root cause. Although I uncovered a number of attachments, none resolved the pain. One morning, while eating white melon seeds, I suddenly recalled why I had started eating them regularly. Several years ago, I had hit upon the notion that my backaches were due to a calcium deficiency. As white melon seeds were supposed to be rich in calcium, I had developed the habit of eating them regularly. Over time I had forgotten the reason for this habit, but the idea was certainly based on an everyday person’s notion.

This revelation led me to recall the circumstances under which my back had been injured. Seven or eight years ago, while attempting to cross a blocked-off part of a street, I was forced to climb through a gap in the wall and jump down to reach the adjourning street below. I landed abruptly and begged Master for help. Master helped banish my pain and I was able to stand and continue my journey. If I had immediately rejected the human notion of sustaining an injury, I would not have needed to seek Master’s help. My backache disappeared after this attachment was eliminated.

I used to suffer from severe knee pain, which forced me to walk slowly. Despite searching within, I was unable to discern the reason I had this condition. One morning while practicing the exercises, my leg suddenly went limp and I fell to the ground. I knew that Master was adjusting my body and immediately thanked Master before standing up and continuing the exercises. However my knee continued to hurt even after I completed the exercises. I was puzzled. Master had adjusted my body, why did the pain remain? A phrase from Master's teachings suddenly surfaced in my mind,

“When a tribulation arrives, if you, a disciple, can truly maintain an unshakable calm or be determined to meet different requirements at different levels, this should be sufficient for you to pass the test. If it continues endlessly and if there do not exist other problems in your xinxing or conduct, it must be that the evil demons are capitalizing on the weak spots caused by your lack of control.” (“Expounding on the Fa” from Essentials for Further Advancement)

The word “conduct” continued reverberating in my head. I then realized that this referred to the way I had treated this tribulation. I deliberately adopted a slower walking pace to accommodate my knee pain. By doing so, I was acknowledging the existence of the condition, even though Master had already eliminated the cause. I started walking briskly and found that my knee pain vanished.

Because of our special environment and circumstances, attachments to various fears easily surface. In such situations, acknowledging the fears is equivalent to treating oneself as an ordinary person. These fears occasionally strike me when I run into patrolling police officers, or when a random passerby walks behind me. My sense of fear and danger is heightened, even though there is nothing to be suspicious or fearful about. My irrational fears came to a head one day when I started experiencing debilitating fear while walking around my own house. This continued for a few days until I was seriously contemplating selling my own home. At this point, I stumbled across a paragraph in Zhuan Falun (Lecture Six, Cultivation Insanity):

“With this fear, it may indeed bring this person some trouble. Once you are scared, it is an attachment of fear. Isn’t that an attachment? Once your attachment surfaces, shouldn’t it be removed? The more you fear it, the more it will appear like a sickness. This attachment of yours must be removed. You will be made to learn from this lesson so that you can remove your fear and improve.”

Upon analyzing my previous experiences I realized there had been nothing to fear. During my first encounter, I had let my human notions take over and this increased my sense of paranoia, which fanned the flames of suspicion and fear. Master had taken mercy on me and pointed out this paragraph so I could realize and effectively eliminate this attachment.

My family members repeatedly witnessed the miracles of Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) over the past decade. I am sharing these stories to let more people know about Falun Gong. I dreamed that a middle-aged woman approached me and asked me to practice qigong in June 1999.

“What qigong?,” I asked.
“Pipa Gong,” she replied.
“What does it do? No ... ,” I said haltingly.
“What do you want to practice,” she asked.

I thought about it and said, “There seems to be a Falun Gong. I would like to try it” She pointed towards the people in front, “They are practicing Falun Gong. You go there.”

I went there to learn. While I was doing the Falun Standing Stance posture, someone pushed me out of the group. I turned around but found no one. I started to quarrel with that person, “Why did you push me? It was not easy for me to find Falun Gong. Now no one is around. How can I find them?” Then a tall man came and kindly asked me, “What's going on?” I told him what happened. “Follow me,” he said. It was an interesting dream even though I did not know about Falun Gong. I went back to sleep but was unable to rest. I woke up and went to the parks nearby to check out where people were doing morning exercises. While I was walking towards a park, I heard a voice say, “Wrong place.”

I stood there and wondered where to go. Then I heard music coming from the science and technology building. I followed the music and saw people lined up for the exercises and inquired. “We are practicing Falun Gong,” someone answered. I stayed to learn the exercises. They also happened to be watching Master Li Hongzhi's (the founder of Falun Gong) nine-session lecture series and asked me to join. When I watched the videos, I was astonished. The person in my dream who asked me to follow him was Master Li! I became very interested in Falun Gong.

I went on vacation in June 1999 and returned after July 20th. I had not learned all the four sets of the standing exercises nor the sitting meditation. During this period, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched a massive persecution against Falun Gong. I knew there was nothing wrong with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, the principles of Falun Gong. Shouldn't we accord with these principles? The CCP said Falun Gong is not good. What was the truth?

I did not have Falun Gong books and did not know anything about the exercises . But I knew the sitting meditation involved crossing the legs. I kept trying to cross my legs, even though all I could do was to place one leg on top of the other. I could only practice two to three minutes by gripping my legs with my hands to prevent them from slipping out of position. Then a miracle happened while I was sitting crossed-leg: I felt some sensation in my back and neck. Whenever I stopped crossing my legs, it went away. I did not think about it much. Gradually, I was able to cross my legs longer. I then realized that my illnesses disappeared.

I had numerous ailments including rheumatism, cervical disease, uterine fibroids, bone hyperplasia, indigestion, and a heart arrhythmia. I used to go to the hospital for treatment before and took medicine. Nothing helped. By doing the crossed-leg exercise, all my illnesses disappeared. It was unbelievable, miraculous! I thought I would like to read the Dafa books and keep practicing Falun Gong. The persecution persisted. People were misled by the slanderous media and were forbidden from practicing Falun Gong in public. However, I came to know the goodness of Falun Gong.

My mother-in-law had severe hemorrhoids which resulted in a painful, bloated stomach. She went to see a doctor and was told that her condition was severe, and surgery was too risky. The only treatment was to apply external medicine. I changed her treatment dressing daily, but her condition did not improve. My husband knew Falun Gong was good. However, the CCP's brutal persecution terrified him. He did not want me to practice. But I was firm and resolute with both my husband and in-laws about practicing Falun Gong. I told them about my health recovery. “Falun Gong is good and hope you keep practicing. Your aunt practices Falun Gong. She is healthy now and does not need any medicine,” my mother-in-law announced one day.

She then packed up her things to go home after breakfast the next day. I asked her, “You have not recovered yet. Why are you leaving?” She said, “My illness was cured. Last night my illness disappeared. ” Miraculous! My mother-in-law just said that Master removed her illness! My mother is over 80-years-old. She had varicose veins and her legs were swollen. The doctor stated it was incurable. I told her to sincerely recite “Falun Gong is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She listened to me and did not spend a penny. Her legs are good now. She said, “Absolutely amazing! The doctor could not cure my illness. By reciting these words, I am well now. Thank you Master Li.”

My older sister had a thyroid tumor a few years ago. The tumor was about the size of an egg. The doctor called for an immediate surgery. Her husband was sick too. She wanted to delay the procedure. I advised her, “Do not have surgery. Sincerely recite Falun Gong is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She followed my advice every day and slept well. Then one day, she found the tumor was gone. She said excitedly, “Falun Gong is extraordinarily amazing. I want to learn it too!”

We both went to visit our mother. I had some fish and a fish bone dislodged in my throat. I had difficulty swallowing and spitting it out. I tried to swallow a steamed bun and drink vinegar, but it did not help. My mother suggested going to the hospital. Then I remembered and begged Master to help remove the fish bone. After a while, the bone was gone. I thanked Master in my heart. I told my sister that the bone was removed. She asked how. I told her Master did it. “Amazing!,” she exclaimed.

While imprisoned due to the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of Falun Dafa, I saw a frightening scene. The shocking vision sent me a clear message: only when we meet the required standards of a cultivator can we reach Consummation. I saw scenes in another dimension a little after midnight on December 31, 2007. Many people were gathered in a wide, open square. They were waiting for something. Some held flowers, some looked around, some were in deep thought, and some were discussing among themselves. A line of sapphire-colored buses was waiting outside the square. Each of the golden-colored seats had a big red number on the back.

Soon, those gathered in the square moved to open a path. Out walked Dafa practitioners who had reached the standards for the Fa-rectification period. They wore golden clothes with a number on the back. Each practitioner was young, beautiful, calm, and radiant. They walked to the coaches and took their respective seats. Practitioners who hadn't done well the three things and hadn't cultivated to the required standards also walked toward the coaches. However, an invisible line stopped them. When they got closer, the line gave out dazzling light. A stereo voice from another dimension called out: “He has not reached the standards of a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple. He has deceived the Lord and failed to fulfill his oath. He has not fulfilled his responsibility and mission to save sentient beings. Drag him out.”

Four Fa-guardian gods immediately came to the practitioner. Two pulled him by the arms and two by his legs to throw him back into the crowd. Those practitioners who were thrown out got up and ran toward the buses again. They were thrown back again. After several attempts, they gave up. They knelt and wailed with desperation. Some kept kowtowing until blood dripped down their faces. “Master, please give me another chance,” they begged, “Please give me another chance. I will do well this time for sure...” One practitioner kept pulling out her hair while knocking her head on the ground, “Master, I am not worth your care. You have given me so many opportunities, but I missed all of them. Why am I so hopeless...”

People surrounding them also ridiculed and looked down on them. This scene told me that cultivation is a very serious matter and that we must treat it seriously. There is a standard for Dafa disciples that applies to every practitioner when the cultivation period ends. In this last opportunity for cultivation, we practitioners must be diligent.

I am a 65-year-old woman who began practicing Falun Dafa in October 1996. Before practicing Falun Dafa, I suffered from a multitude of illnesses, including neurasthenia, severe insomnia, rheumatoid arthritis, sinusitis and severe ulcerative colitis. Soon after obtaining Dafa, my illnesses disappeared and I achieved perfect health in both mind and body. Cultivation practice also transformed my outward appearance and I started looking ten years younger than my actual age. My white hair gradually turned black and I became more energetic.

My husband also benefited from cultivating Falun Dafa. Before practicing, he suffered from severe neurasthenia and weight loss. His doctors finally confirmed a diagnosis of liver hemangioma in March 1992 and my husband was referred to a military hospital for treatment and continued observation.

Despite five years of continuous treatment, his condition remained the same. My husband took up the practice of Dafa in October 1996 and three weeks later he visited the hospital for his scheduled check-up. His doctor was amazed. “How come your hemangiomas have disappeared?” When my husband asked him to take another look, the doctor pointed out a section of the scan and said, “This was where the hemangioma was located. All traces of it have completely vanished. Not even scar tissue remains. With current medical treatment, such an outcome is impossible. Did you start practicing some kind of qigong?” My husband replied, “Falun Dafa. I just started three weeks ago.” Impressed, the doctor commented, “Falun Dafa is indeed powerful.”

I work as a technician in a pharmaceutical lab responsible for analyzing the components of pharmaceutical raw materials. Typically, technicians try to avoid taking on work which involves the analysis of toxic compounds or those requiring complicated analytical procedures. As they know Falun Dafa practitioners are good and kind people, my superiors and fellow colleagues find it easier to ask me to handle the analysis of such compounds. Instead of bearing a grudge, I take the opportunity to elevate my character and even developed expertise in this field of work.

Once while testing some highly toxic acetyl bromide compounds, I accidentally touched some with my left index finger. Within a few days, my inflamed fingertip began rotting and oozing pus. Although my condition drew much concern from my fellow co-workers, I was confident that the immense power of Dafa would heal my finger. Within a month, my wound had completely healed and Falun Dafa, in turn, gained the respect of my greatly impressed colleagues.

In June 2000, my husband was transporting my youngest daughter to school on his motorcycle when a speeding military sedan ran into them. The impact threw my daughter thirty meters away. Miraculously, she remained completely unharmed and immediately stood up to check on her father. Finding him unconscious, my daughter began to loudly berate the sedan driver. My husband awoke soon after, stood up and reassured the sedan driver, “I'm fine, you can go.” Both father and daughter were completely unhurt and the damage to the motorcycle is very minimal. Truly this is a miracle. Master Li has protected us! In August 2015, we returned to our old village to clarify the truth to our fellow villagers. After completing our rounds, we visited our old home and found the longan trees growing at our doorstep ripe with fruit.

We decided to pick some fruit to take home. However, the trees had grown very tall and even with our five-meter cutting pole we were unable to reach the fruit. To achieve the necessary added height, my husband took a three-meter high wooden ladder and placed bamboo poles on one side for support. He then climbed the other side and began cutting the branches. Suddenly the ladder and its bamboo pole supports collapsed. My husband was thrown head first to the concrete floor, right before the eyes of our horrified relatives. However, he immediately stood up and reassured them, “I’m fine. Thank you for protecting me Master Li!” Our dumbfounded relatives were amazed to discover no injuries or swelling. Our great and compassionate Master had saved my husband’s life again!

When I was 29 I became paralyzed and was unable to talk. As a result, I became insensitive to everything around me. A few years later, a stomach problem made it necessary for me to have three surgeries, but the incisions became infected and kept draining and wouldn't heal. We had to sell our house to pay my medical bills. We couldn't even afford school for our two children. All we had to live on was my wife's meager income from selling vegetables. Day after day, I was desperate. I didn't know where life was going to take me.

In October 1998, when I was 43, life surprised me with the most precious gift I could ever have imagined – the book Zhuan Falun, the main text of the practice of Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa). At that time, my wife had been practicing Falun Gong for some time. She was amazed by the profound principles discussed in the book as well as the tremendous improvements in the health of its practitioners. She recommended that I give Falun Gong a try. As my wife handed me the book Zhuan Falun, I felt a sense of excitement. I sat in bed and flipped through the pages. It was so captivating that I couldn't stop reading. From cover to cover, I read it five times.

I was concentrating so hard that I didn't notice the infected surgical wounds that had bothered me for years had healed while I was reading. Many other uncomfortable feelings were also gone. After so many years, I finally felt hope in my life. My wife encouraged me to study the book with other practitioners. Although I still couldn't talk, I agreed, thinking that this was something I should do.

There were more than 40 people in the group. After everybody sat down, they began to take turns reading, one by one. When it was my turn to read, I thought in my heart, “Teacher, please help me, I want to read the book with them.” With that thought, a powerful and strong warm energy went through my body. At that moment, I was able to talk! As I read, tears streamed down my face. Everyone was looking at me in astonishment. We were all overjoyed by the immense power of the practice. As I continued to study the teachings, do the exercises, and improve my mind based on Falun Gong's three principles—Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance—my body was constantly purified.

During the times that the pathogenic karma was being purged from my body, I was in enormous pain all over. But, interestingly, when I went to watch Teacher's lectures with other practitioners at night, all the pain disappeared. After I returned home, the pain came back. After more than 20 days of this body purification, everything returned to normal. I felt that my body was very light and I was filled with energy.

I found a delivery job to help support my family. Although some jobs are very labor intensive, I was able to do it with ease and finish on time. One time, I rode a tricycle about 50 miles to deliver glasses to the countryside, but I didn't feel tired at all. Another time, I transported nearly 60 bags of sand and concrete to the 6th floor in one hour. Amazed by my recovery, many friends and family members also began to practice Falun Gong.

I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. Unlike many practitioners, I can see with my Celestial Eye and my supernatural abilities are not locked. I'd like to share the following personal experiences with my fellow practitioners. When I went to visit my cousin in December 1998, one of her neighbors was there trying to convince her to practice Falun Gong. I chatted with them about Buddhism and showed them how to sit in the lotus position. I borrowed several of her books. I was very excited to start reading Zhuan Falun, one of the five books I'd borrowed, when I got home. I read through lecture eight in one sitting. Then I saw strange images on the walls as if there was lightning everywhere. I was surrounded by lightning. My forehead and the top of the head seemed to be bulging. When I closed my eyes, I saw that the room was filled with red light.

Just then my mother woke up and told me to go to sleep. I laid down and had a very vivid dream. I saw a Buddha with a body of white jade flying toward me. Her legs were crossed and her hands were in the jieyin position. She looked at me and her mouth moved as if she was saying something. There were tears in her eyes. I looked at her as I lay in bed. I raised my hands toward her, trying to call her, but I couldn't make a sound. She saw me getting up and backed off, flew away, and disappeared. Then I heard my mother call me. She asked me what I was yelling about. I woke up and told her that I'd had a dream. The next day, my cousin's neighbor came to get her books, which I returned reluctantly. I went to the practice site the day after. That's how I started practicing Falun Dafa.

In less than ten days, Master cleansed my body. I saw many Faluns rotating around me. My Celestial Eye opened and I could see lives in other dimensions. I have also developed supernatural abilities. If I wanted to do something, I only needed to think about it, and it would happen. I saw my Immortal Infant grow to two feet high. I could also see my past lives. In one past life, I was an abbot in a monastery.

I have experienced six big tribulations that could have taken my life if Master had not protected me. The first time was about two weeks after I started practicing Falun Dafa. One day I was asked to help a neighbor harvest corn. My job was to put the kernels into big gunny sacks next to a thresher. As I bent over to shove the kernels into a sack, I heard a noise like metal banging on metal. I felt the belt of the threshing machine scrape my head. Then I heard people calling my name. As I stood up, I saw a big Falun rotating where my head had been, then it flew away. Someone quickly stopped the thresher and people surrounded me. “You are so lucky. If your hair got pulled in, it would have pulled your scalp off,” one of them said. As it turned out, a steel pin that held the moving belt had hit my head. That was the noise I'd heard. I knew Master had saved my life.

In 2003, I went to Changchun to work at a candy factory. One day I was hit by a car while crossing the street. I flew into the air and landed on my head. The car stopped about 20 meters away. The bystanders yelled, “Car accident! Someone is dead!” I slowly got up and picked up my shoes. I didn't let the driver take me to the hospital or extort money from him as the bystanders suggested I do. However, I felt tired in the following days and always wanted to sleep. One night as I was doing the second exercise at home, I felt a big hand holding my head and another hand tickling my nose with a feather. A voice next to me said, “Do not worry about anything when you are doing the exercise.” I kept my eyes closed and continued with the exercise. Suddenly, I felt my whole body vibrate briefly. I was surrounded by a wave of heat that rotated around my body. Then I felt hot air blowing into my face, and I couldn't help but sneeze. I told myself not to move.

I felt liquid dripping from my nose, then one blob after another. By the time I finished the exercise, my shirt was covered with blood and blood clots. There was blood on the floor as well. But my head was very clear, and I no longer felt tired or sleepy. I suspect I had internal bleeding in my head from the car accident, but Master helped clean it up. After that incident, my gong increased even more. I had more powerful supernatural abilities. I reached beyond-triple-world Fa. I even saw a small child come out of my nose.

I value Falun Dafa books more than my life. I have all of the Dafa books and articles Master has written, as well as other materials from the Minghui website. One time, a neighbor came to visit and saw me reading one of the books. He saw that I kept my books, tape player, and exercise tapes in a red cardboard box. I had a bad feeling after he left. I took everything out of the box and put some turnips in it. A little while later, the police came with my neighbor and ordered me to hand over my Dafa books. I took out the box to show them. Of course, they couldn't find anything.

Another time, the police searched my home looking for truth-clarifying materials. I put the books in my father's room, the only room they did not search. I had a feeling they would be back, so I put the books in a sack that they had already searched. The police did come back the next day and went straight to my father's room. When they couldn't find anything, they came out and saw the sack with my books in it. I held the sack up and said, “You searched this yesterday. If you don't believe me, I will show you again.” One officer said, “No need.”

As soon as the police left, I took the books to my sister's home for safekeeping. After I left, my sister said, “I'll just give the police two books so that they won't bother us again.” My mother tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. She took out two books. As she started to leave with them, she felt someone push her from behind and she fell down. She ran back and told my mother, “These books really are Buddhist scriptures.”

Another time, my sister burned some of Master's new articles, about 20 pages worth. But the next day, she saw the pages in the ashes, not even scorched. She was shocked. She told me that she and her husband had burned them the night before. They both saw the pages go up in flames. After the persecution began, I started distributing informational materials like other practitioners. While using my supernatural abilities so that the police cannot see me, I often spend the whole night covering a thousand homes. From one village to the next, it only takes me a short time to get there even though they are far apart. The next day, I don't feel tired at all. Sometimes when I don't eat for three days, I can still work as usual.

One night, several of us went out to distribute Falun Dafa materials. We got separated. I turned around and saw one practitioner in front of a house, but she appeared so small, like the Lilliputians in Gulliver's Travels. I could have held her in my hand. I called her name. When she heard it, she immediately became the same size as before. Another time I was followed by a police car. I used my supernatural ability to outrun the car and hid in a cornfield. When the police got out of the car, they could not see me.

I am 65 years old and have practiced Falun Gong for 14 years. I had a marvelous experience when I took up the practice. It gave me a second life. My elder sister learned Falun Gong first and introduced it to me. I was busy running a convenience store and did not learn it. My business was doing well. Customers praised my husband and me for being kind, easygoing, and considerate of others.

A neighboring store owner became jealous as a result. One day, my husband ran into a conflict with him while taking care of our store. When I learned of this, I ran to the store and argued with that store owner. He picked up a long sickle on one of my shelves and hacked at my thigh and waist. I fell down bleeding and was rushed to the hospital. I had a 5.7-inch long cut on my left thigh and a 3.3-inch cut to the nerve bundle near the bottom of my spine. I was transferred to Wuhan Hospital, which declined to accept me. I was transferred instead to Beijing 301 Hospital.

A doctor said to us after I was hospitalized there for 20 days, “We have tried our best. This type of nerve damage is incurable anywhere in the world.” He said it can cause lower back pain, muscle numbness, incontinence, and leg paralysis.

I was discharged and transferred to a local hospital for follow-up treatment. I met with a bricklayer who had a nerve injury from a work accident. He received several surgeries to have the nerve reconnected. His feet were deformed, curved and very thin. He was emaciated. He said his foreman could not fund his treatment. I felt miserable seeing that he had such severe consequences from only one nerve cut, while my injury was to the main nerve bundle. My elder sister came to see me and brought the book Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Gong. Soon after I read the book, all my pain disappeared, and I could walk again. I was in tears. The book saved me!

However, my husband forbade me from learning Falun Gong, fearing that I would be implicated in the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution of the practice. My sister took the book and gave it to others to read. I had pain throughout my whole body again, and my illnesses returned. My husband was scared. I said in a weak voice, “I have become like this because you won’t allow me to learn Falun Gong. Can you take care of me for the rest of my life? Can you suffer the pain for me? I have determined to learn Falun Gong. I must learn it.”

He saw my determination and asked my sister to bring the book back. I have now practiced Falun Gong for 14 years, and I end up in tears whenever I recall this experience.

I am 54-years-old. I began practicing Falun Dafa in January 1998. Within a few days of taking up the practice, my chronic liver disease and herniated lumbar disc condition were completely healed.

On the night of 15 May 2011, I was rushing home from work when the rear tire burst and threw my motorbike out of control. My body forcefully collided with a tree growing beside the road.

Though I managed to remain conscious soon after the collision, the impact left me partially blind and paralyzed. A passerby helped me to sit up and offered to contact my family. I managed to get my phone from my pocket and pointed out my wife's number before losing consciousness. The passerby managed to contact my wife, who rushed to the accident site and took me to the county hospital for emergency treatment. I held firm to my belief that Master would save me. Although I was barely conscious, I whispered repeatedly, “Master save me...” The attending doctors were puzzled and asked my family for clarification. Members of my family explained, “This man practices Falun Gong.” One doctor replied, “He will need all the luck he can get.”

My precipitously low blood pressure and weak respiration rate required an emergency operation. During the surgery, I felt my soul float out from my body before being ushered by two beings to the site of an ancient auditorium. A large table stood in the middle of the auditorium. Behind the table was a man dressed in the robes of ancient Chinese officials. Guards stood on either side, holding various Chinese weapons. The official standing behind the table asked me, “What good deeds have you performed in this lifetime and what virtues have you accumulated?” I solemnly replied, “I have no notable good or bad deeds, nor have I accumulated any virtue. I merely cultivated the Buddha Fa under Master Li Hongzhi."

On hearing my reply, the official instantly stood up and said, “Very good. Under such circumstances you are still able to recall and respect your Master. Continue to keep this in mind. Your life does not fall under my jurisdiction. Return to where you came from.” After that, he waved a hand at me and I felt an invisible force pushing me away. For an instant, I experienced a falling sensation before regaining consciousness when I felt the doctor patting my face and shouting my name.

Doctors found that the accident had ruptured my spleen, fractured my left ribcage in nine places, seriously bruised and lacerated many of my internal organs, and caused severe hemorrhage in my chest cavity which required removal of at least four liters of blood. Hospital surgeons spent six hours trying to save my life. Eventually, they were forced to inform my family that any hope for survival was just too small. Doctors then recommended I be moved to the larger provincial hospital for further emergency treatment, but also warned, “He could pass away while in the midst of transportation.”

The ambulance successfully transported me to the provincial hospital. However emergency doctors initially declined to admit me, as they deemed my condition hopeless. The hospital later reluctantly allowed my admission after a relative working at the hospital spoke up on my behalf. While doctors were trying to hook me up to a better ventilator, my heart suddenly stopped and my soul floated away from my body. I saw the attending doctor performing chest compressions on my body before coming to the sudden realization that I could not spend too much time away from my physical self, or else my death would become permanent. I knew I could not leave yet, as I had not fulfilled my vow to assist Master in rectifying the Fa and saving sentient beings. With this thought, I returned to my physical body and woke to the sensation of a person slapping my face while calling my name. I managed to move my hand slightly to signal my acknowledgement.

One of the attending doctors later told me, “Your pupils were unfocused, your breathing and heart rate had completely stopped. We were preparing to push your dead body out of the operating theater when you suddenly sprang to life. It was really amazing. You should treasure this unexpected gift!” I spent the next six days in a state of partial consciousness and only regained full consciousness on the afternoon of the sixth day. Throughout, my wife and fellow practitioners continued to send forth righteous thoughts.

I underwent a medical examination during my eighth day in the intensive care unit. In the midst of the exam, I suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of pain and severe breathlessness. My wife softly reminded me to maintain my righteous thoughts. I asked Master for help, silently reciting Lunyu and poems from Hong Yin. The examination was successfully completed and doctors further reported that the condition of my kidneys, heart, liver and lungs had greatly improved. I was transferred to an ordinary hospital ward after twelve days in the ICU. Every day, my wife would play recordings of Master's lectures. In between, I would memorize the Fa.

Initially, my recovery progressed swiftly. However, my show off mentality surfaced and I forced myself out of bed too early. As a result of overexertion, my surgical wound reopened and became infected. I came down with a high fever and forgot to hold myself to the standards of a Dafa practitioner. My pride and competitive attachments resurfaced and I fought with my wife over a minor matter. My life was in danger of being claimed by the old forces, but I refused to recognize my faults.

While I was in a state of semi-consciousness, merciful Master opened my sealed memories. I saw many scenes, showing my predestined relationship with Master and the detrimental arrangements made for me by the old forces. I would wake up in tears after each scene, suffering from a severe sense of guilt. Despite having achieved the status of a Dafa practitioner, I had been unforgivably lax in my cultivation practice. My experience bolstered my determination to reinforce my righteous thoughts, search inwards and work on memorizing the Fa.

As soon as my fever was gone, I requested to be released from the hospital. My doctors, however, disagreed, as the drainage tube inserted into the pleura surrounding my lungs indicated that my body was still producing large amounts of discharge. On hearing their verdict, I intensified my efforts in sending forth righteous thoughts, clearing away the evil interference from the other dimensions. I then resumed my demands to be discharged from hospital. Doctors performed a scan that afternoon and discovered that the pleural fluid had disappeared. They removed the drainage tube and prepared to send me home.

When the throat specialist arrived to close up my tracheostomy incision, my relatives took the opportunity to ask if I would regain my voice. The specialist replied, “It is unlikely.” My wife suggested I try to read the Fa aloud during my study sessions. One afternoon on the third day, while reading Zhuan Falun, the phone rang. Automatically, I picked up the phone and greeted the caller. The caller was surprised, “You are able to speak?” I replied, “It’s all thanks to my Master.” My voice soon recovered and returned to normal.

At one point during my recovery, my stomach started swelling and I was unable to eat, drink or even excrete for five days. Pushed to the brink, I was unable to sustain my cultivation state and even entertained thoughts of suicide. My wife and a fellow practitioner tried to offer support by reading the Fa at my bedside, sending forth righteous thoughts and offering counsel. However I was so tortured by the pain that I was unable to look inwards. I rudely rejected their advice and tried to expel the fellow practitioner from my home. Luckily, the practitioner knew that I was under the control of the old forces and refused to give up. He sacrificed a number of days and nights in order to accompany me in studying the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts.

With his determined encouragement, I managed to resume my cultivation state by searching inwards and correcting my failings. Though I managed to overcome this difficult tribulation, my physical condition worsened and my weight dropped to 80 pounds. Every movement and step became exhausting. Around this time, I experienced a dream where a voice said, “Give up and resume the life of an ordinary person. You cannot win this fight.” I immediately rebutted, “I follow the practice taught by Master Li. Master taught us to adhere to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Practitioners have no enemies and we will not get involved in a fight with anyone.”

I continued to search inwards, study the Fa with my wife and send forth righteous thoughts. My health began to improve, but some residual swelling remained in my chest and abdomen. One night, I dreamed I was having an argument with another person over self-interests. In the midst of our argument, a merciful voice resounded from above, “You still love to argue!” The words hit me deeply and I woke up crying tears of regret. This incident spurred my determination to unconditionally examine myself. I discovered many failings, including selfishness, pride, jealousy, combativeness, anger and hate.

My attachments spurred my efforts in studying the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts to clear the evil factors and interference. My health began to improve and the pain lessened. One morning, while practicing the fifth set of exercises, I saw a yellow-green gourd float down from the sky. The gourd stopped close to my left arm and prepared to enter my body. Subconsciously, I realized that the gourd was a bad item and sent forth righteous thoughts. The gourd instantly split apart, releasing the dirty blood and pus contained within. From that day on, I was able to eat and drink normally. The swelling in my chest and abdomen receded and I made a full recovery. I was able to help with the autumn harvest in our family fields and held down a temporary job during the winter months. My strength has returned and I can easily lift over 300 pounds or take a brisk walk over a long distance with no effort.

From this tribulation, I learned to treat cultivation practice seriously and cherish my luck in becoming a Dafa cultivator. Words cannot describe the thanks I have for Master.

I am 62 years old. Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, I was a Buddhist. At the age of 36, a fortune-teller told me that I would encounter a serious life-and-death experience in my 50s. I had no idea what to expect. My life was difficult after I got married. We lived with my in-laws. My husband and I were laid-off workers. To make a living, I worked long hours at a local restaurant and did not get home until 9:00 p.m. every night. It was my responsibility to prepare breakfast for the family every morning.

With such a difficult and stressful life, I developed various health problems, including severe rheumatism, shortness of breath and a chronic cough. I slept under a heavy comforter and wore warm pajamas, but still often coughed myself awake. I even began to struggle while going up steps.

Then my sister came for a visit in 2002. It had been five years since I saw her last, and I hardly recognized her, as she looked much younger. I ask her what happened, and she confided in me that she was practicing Falun Dafa (despite the persecution). She encouraged me to give it a try, so I did. When I first began to do the exercises, I felt lighter: It was amazing. Soon, my symptoms were gone. I then began to tell others about the goodness of Dafa, and the truth about the persecution of Dafa practitioners.

I was excited about cultivating Falun Dafa, but one day I developed some odd symptoms. I was off balance while walking, and my limbs lost their strength. They were the signs of an ischemic stroke. I felt anxious. I was only 52 years old, and my mother-in-law was paralyzed and bedridden. I was the one who took care of everyone! Then I remembered the fortune-teller. Was this what she foretold all those years ago? I also recognized that this was the arrangement for my life, and only Dafa could save me. My despair then turned to hope. These symptoms were caused by my accumulated karma. I knew I had to pay the debt I owed.

Master taught us:

“As a practitioner, your path of life will be changed from now on. My fashen will rearrange it for you. How is it rearranged? How many years does a person still have in life? One will not know it oneself. Some people may get a serious illness after a year or half a year, or they may be ill for several years. Some people may suffer cerebral thrombosis or other illnesses, and cannot move at all. How can you practice cultivation for the rest of your life? We must fix all of them for you and prevent these things from occurring.”(Zhuan Falun)

I understood the Dafa principles and was no longer anxious or afraid. I just continued doing what a Dafa practitioner should do. All the symptoms of a stroke were gone in just seven days. I personally experienced the wonder of Dafa! Thank you to Master Li – the founder and teacher of Falun Dafa. And thank you to my sister – and fellow practitioner – who introduced me to Dafa.

I am 11 years old and I have practiced Falun Dafa for two years. Because of the suppression in China, officials detained many practitioners and tortured them. Among them was my father, who died in a prison when I was one. My grandparents and mother are practitioners. Through the years, I have learned from my mother and other family members what Falun Dafa is, and why it is important.

Master has helped me since I was very young. I had a rash on my entire body when I was 10 months old, which was red and itchy. Because I kept scratching, the blisters on my face broke open. Fluid came out, and I itched even worse. My mother was forced to stay away from home during those days because of the persecution. My grandparents were very worried about me. When mother returned, she felt bad and nearly wept. She had a dream that night, in which Master told her that I would be fine. When she checked me the following morning, she found I had indeed recovered. She was very happy and thankful.

Another time, I had a fever for four or five days. My mother played Master's audio lectures for a few days. When she saw that I hadn't improved much, she gave me some medicine. But this made it even worse, and Mother realized she had done wrong. Miraculously, the fever stopped that night. Similar things happened many times. Through my celestial eye, I could see my body becoming very clean because of Falun Dafa.

One day at the group practice site I saw an elderly practitioner sitting in full lotus (with both both legs crossed) while she read the Falun Dafa books. I decided to give it a try and was able to do so for half an hour the first time. Some adult practitioners asked me to stop because they were afraid it would be too painful, but I enjoyed sitting that way very much.

Several days later, I began to do the sitting meditation with my mother. I calmed down and could sit without moving. Pretty soon, I was able to see things through my celestial eye as if a curtain were lifted. I could see Master's Fashen forming a circle around the field and there was one layer of protection covering the entire field. Then a giant nail the size of a person flew towards me. Master lifted his hands and broke it into pieces. There were also other types of objects coming, attempting to harm me, but Master broke them one by one. When I told mother about this, both of us were very thankful to Master.

Sometimes I did not do well. I began to watch cartoon videos. I became addicted to them and as a result, one of my eyes became swollen. It soon became worse and my eye was nearly swollen shut. Pus oozed out and and covered my eye. One day mother and I went to another place for group Fa-study. A wasp came and stung my armpit, and it was very painful. I cried out. My tears flushed out the pus and other dirty substances from my eye. When she saw my eye recovering, my mother was grateful because through all these incidents, Master helped me let of go of my attachment and treated my eye.

When I was sometimes naughty and did not have patience, I would see bees in other dimensions chasing me. After I recognized my problems and calmed down to study the Fa, I was able to see many scenes in other dimensions. They include the Buddha world, heavenly maidens, and so on. Once as I sat meditating, I saw Master in front of me. I was curious about Master. With that thought of mine, Master allowed me to enter. Inside was beautiful light and a wonderful smell. It was very pleasant, compassionate and sacred. I was allowed to enter twice later. I saw a giant library inside Master's head, with Zhuan Falun and other Dafa books in all different languages. The books were very large and there were even larger books there.

After a while, I became a little tired and wanted to take a nap. Master said very seriously that I was too naughty and this was not the place for a nap. He told me no one was allowed to be there before. I came back to the Milky Way and the Triple-World, and I immediately saw how dull and filthy this environment is. Another time, Master showed me Zhuan Falun in the heavenly world. It was gigantic and I did not recognize the words. From this, I had better understanding of Master's words in “On Dafa (Lunyu)”,

“Dafa is the wisdom of the Creator. It is the bedrock of creation, what the heavens, earth, and universe are built upon. It encompasses all things, from the utmost minuscule to the vastest of the vast, while manifesting differently at each of the cosmic body’s planes of existence.” I seldom sat straight when I studied the Fa. One day, Master showed me a picture in which He was sitting up straight reading Dafa books. I knew I should do that too. I have not done well, both at home and in school. Mother often reminds me about it and I know I must do better. Master has compassionately taken care of me and I cannot let Him down.

My mother is an 81-year-old farmer. Before she practiced Falun Dafa she suffered from various ailments. In June 1997, the doctor told my mother that she would only live a few more months. It was about this time that she was introduced to Falun Dafa.

Since practicing Falun Dafa, my mother can now read all of the teachings of Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Dafa, and write short poems. She lives alone and can take care of herself. She works on the farm and can see just fine. She does not need to wear glasses to read. Her hearing is great, too. She is as fit as a fiddle. My mother used to be impatient and unforgiving. Now she gets along with her neighbors and everyone respects her. Last year, my mother slipped and fell down the stairs while carrying a basket of peanuts. Since my father passed away in 2009, she has lived alone. All of her children live in different cities, so we were unaware of her accident. She said her first thought was not to call her children but to ask Master Li for help. She assured herself that, as a Falun Dafa practitioner, she would be okay. She recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” over and over again. After a while, she could gently move one hand. She touched her head and felt many bumps. A few bones were protruding from her back and other areas. Words cannot describe the pain she was in. Mother tried to inch forward and grabbed the edge of a stone crock about a meter away. With all her might and at the same time asking Master for help, she managed to stand up!

She picked up the peanuts and slowly climbed up the stairs to the second floor. As my mother sat down to read Zhuan Falun, she suddenly realized that she could neither sit nor stand normally. She had to lean gingerly against the bed, chair, or table. It was very difficult for her to eat, drink, or go to the toilet. In spite of her condition, she read the Dafa teachings. At night my mother could not sleep because her whole body ached. She curled up in bed and kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

My mother told me she did not know how long she slept, but she woke up at 3:40 a.m. Usually she does the Falun Dafa exercises at that time. She was still in pain but felt better. Though unable to do the exercises properly, she still managed to finish the standing exercises. When it was time to do the sitting meditation, because a bone in her leg was protruding, it was difficult and extremely painful to sit in the full lotus position. She then remembered Master's words in Zhuan Falun: “When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.”

When she pulled her legs up it was so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat. She ignored the pain and focused on listening to the exercise music. Mother finished the one-hour sitting meditation and went on to send righteous thoughts. After an hour, she put her legs down and discovered that she could move better. The pain was gone, too. She tried to walk and did not feel any discomfort. The bones that had been protruding weren't anymore. Only the bump on her head remained, but it did not hurt. In other words, it took 22 hours from the time my mother fell and could not move to complete recovery. This is the miracle of Dafa that happened to my mother. Just imagine--an elderly woman in her 80s recovering this quickly! Even a young person who had a fall like that might end up in the hospital for months. Yet my mother had such unexpected results because of her deep faith in Falun Dafa and Master. I am grateful to Master Li for protecting our family. It is my hope that people get to know the truth about Falun Dafa and not be misled by Chinese Communist Party propaganda. If you sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” you will be blessed!

I obtained the book Zhuan Falun in 1998 and was told that it could help heal my illnesses and keep me fit. However, I remained skeptical because I didn't believe anything like this was possible. So the book stayed on my shelf, untouched for half a year. Little did I know it was a hidden treasure. When I opened the book one day to have a look, there were many seemingly magical cultivation stories inside. This aroused my curiosity, and I ended up at the home of a Falun Dafa practitioner to listen to a recording of Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, teaching the Fa. From that day on, I began cultivating in Falun Dafa, and strictly adhered to Dafa's core principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.

Miracles then began to happen. I had several health problems before I started practicing, such as lower back pain, headaches, and a chronic illness that caused me severe stomach pains, often preventing me from walking. I also had rheumatoid arthritis. My hands would swell up every morning, to the extent that I couldn't bend my fingers. I visited many doctors, but none were able to help.

After watching videos of Master teaching the Fa one day, I decided to do the second exercise. I felt a warm current flow through my stomach and exit my body. A few days later the unsettling lumps in my stomach disappeared, and the illness has never returned. My rheumatoid arthritis also gradually disappeared. While I was diligently studying the Fa and doing the exercises, Master was purifying my body. Nowadays, I can feel the happiness and sense of wonder that can only come from being in an illness-free state.

My husband was helping his friend run an errand at work and slipped. One of his legs was submerged in boiling water. He sustained severe burns, and doctors said that the leg had to be amputated. The doctor told us that he would need to be hospitalized for several months, however, my husband insisted on leaving the hospital since he didn't want the accident to affect his job.

Upon returning home, I suggested that he listen to the recordings of Master's Fa. Within three days, his pain subsided, and he began to sleep much better. This burn also began to heal rapidly. In a dramatic turn of events, on the fourth day, my husband stopped listening to the Fa. He said that he didn't believe in Dafa anymore and made disrespectful remarks directed at Master. The very next day, my husband's excruciating pain returned. The burned area became inflamed again and he returned to the hospital to seek treatment.

His wounds continued to worsen. He was consistently unable to sleep and work, and worried that he would have to have his leg amputated. I knew that all of this was caused by his personal choice to disrespect Dafa, since Master was no longer able to help him under such circumstances. My husband eventually realized that he had done a disservice to Dafa and sincerely apologized to Master. He listened to five lectures of Master's Fa teaching in one go.

The pain in his leg pain vanished immediately, and his leg soon recovered completely. My husband is infinitely grateful to Master. Since that time, he has always said that Falun Dafa is good and shares his experience with others. I sincerely thank Master from the bottom of my heart!

Most of the practitioners in our Fa study group are elderly and have practiced Falun Dafa for over ten years. They have experienced miraculous things and all have expressed their gratitude for Master's protection.

Practitioner May went to a hardware center in the summer of 2013 to purchase some parts to repair a water heater. A salesman in his 50s asked, “Elder sister, what are you here to buy?” He said: “I should call you younger sister because I am already 58, and you must be younger than me.” The practitioner said: “Can you guess my age?” “Are you 50 yet, ” he asked. May said, “I am 73 already.” The salesman was shocked, “You are over 70?”

He called his coworkers to come over and see her. “Look, this lady is already 73. She doesn't look that age.” Five people circled May. May said, “I practice Falun Gong, so I look younger and have a healthy body.”

She told them: “Falun Gong is a high-level Buddha school cultivation practice based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and we learn to be good people. Don't believe the lies that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has said about us.” The employees said they felt that Falun Gong is miraculous, and after they learned the facts about the practice, all five of them agreed to withdraw their memberships from the CCP. After May finished her story, other practitioners in our Fa-study group shared their experiences.

Practitioner Yu is 65 years old, has a very healthy body, and people tell her she looks like someone in her 50s. Practitioner Jing said that she used to weigh about 160 pounds, but after cultivating dropped to her normal weight of 130 pounds. She said she feels light when walking. Practitioner Hui finished her lunch around noon one day in November 2012 and remembered she had some cooked ribs that needed to be warmed up, so she put them in a pot, added some water, turned on the stove around 12:30, and left the kitchen. She left to go to the supermarket forgetting the pot heating on the stove.

At around three o'clock Hui left the supermarket and suddenly remembered the ribs in the pot. Her heart sped up. She was so worried that she forgot how she got home. When she arrived, she first looked to see if there were any fire trucks around her home, then she looked for smoke coming out of the window. Everything looked normal. She struggled up the stairs and with shaking hands unlocked the door. She went to the kitchen and found the pot was still steaming with about 2 centimeters of water in the pot. Hui turn off the stove and went into another room to bow to Master's photo. She said, “Thank you, Master.”

Practitioner Hui's daughter had been married for ten years but hadn't managed to get pregnant. Although she had been to the hospital and received some treatments after consulting with a physician, she still hadn't conceived. Hui told her daughter to recite “Falun Dafa is Good, Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance is Good” sincerely. The daughter did so and in 2012 became pregnant. When she started bleeding she quit her job so she would get lots of rest. Unfortunately, she had two large episodes of bleeding, which scared her. Hui's daughter kept reciting, “Falun Dafa is Good.”

The intermittent bleeding lasted for over a month. During this time she went to the hospital for an ultrasound and continuously recited “Falun Dafa is good” while inside the examination room. Her husband recited the same words while waiting outside the exam room. The ultrasound showed that the fetus was fine but there was a tumor in the uterus. Hui understood that Master was cleansing her daughter's body to create a good environment for the fetus.

Because the tumor was growing alongside the fetus, her doctor felt that she needed a Cesarean section at about eight months into the pregnancy. The doctors involved in the surgery said that they were surprised that she was able to conceive. Falun Dafa can perform miracles and is an extraordinary practice. Her daughter had a five-pound baby boy. Hui named him “Fuer” (which means a child from a blessing). Fuer is almost two now. Whenever he heard Master's voice, he would put two palms together in front of his chest, kneel on the ground, and bow.

A few days before the 2014 Lunar New Year I tried to hang up a curtain but was unable to reach the curtain rod. I put one stool on top of another one and climbed up. When I finished, forgetting that I was on two stools, I stepped down with one leg. In the second it took to realize how high up I was, I felt myself floating in the air. I had time to adjust one leg and put my foot on the lower stool. I then came down safely. The stools were about one meter high. If I had fallen, I could have either broken a bone or twisted my ankle.

I truly felt I was in the air for one or two seconds. At that moment, I didn't feel worried and had enough time to step solidly down to the ground. I was moved to tears whenever I said: “Dafa disciples are truly the happiest.” Dafa disciples have cultivated to today with Master's protection—everyone feels the Buddha's mighty virtue. There is only one sentence among thousands of words to express our happiness: “Thank you, Master.”

My husband and I went to a nearby hill to harvest silk from our silkworms in August 2016. While walking to the hill, a poisonous snake bit me. My husband, who is not a Falun Gong practitioner, suggested that we go to the hospital. I dismissed that thought and said that I would be all right because I practice Falun Gong.

After harvesting the silk, we returned home for lunch. My arm was swollen by then and my husband said, “We have to see a doctor now. I know you are not getting sick as a Falun Gong practitioner. But this is snake venom.” Without another word, he took me to a clinic. The doctor said the bite could be fatal if not treated and since it happened hours ago, I had to go to the city hospital. The clinic lacked the expertise when it came to treating poisonous snake bites.

Without hesitating, my husband took me to the emergency room of the city hospital. A doctor said that it was beyond his medical skills and that I had to go to Anshan Hospital, as there were doctors there who specialized in snake bites. When we arrived at Anshan Hospital, I could no longer bend my arm because of the swelling. One doctor said the bite had happened too long ago and there was nothing she could do. She recommended Suzigou Hospital.

When we got to Suzigou, it had been 15 hours since I was bitten. A surgeon ordered surgery, but the nurse could not inject anesthetics because my arm was too swollen. The hospital president was the lead surgeon. He told me it would be painful once the anesthetic wore off. I nodded but kept in mind that I am a Falun Gong practitioner. They made a six-inch incision.

The six-inch surgical wound sustained by the author after being bitten by a venomous snake. Seeing the big wound, many patients and their visitors asked if I felt any pain. They were surprised when I said no. I explained to them how Falun Gong could improve one's health and changed one's life for better.

I further explained, “There was a heavy rainstorm and flooding in my area a couple of years ago. All the houses in my village were destroyed except for mine.” One of the people there had heard about this and said that he thought it was extraordinary. As I'd been bitten by a poisonous snake, the wound could not be sewed up until the venom came out completely. When going to the bathroom, I felt a little dizzy. I reminded myself to maintain righteous thoughts, and I was no longer dizzy.

Eight days passed and I did not feel any pain. When the doctor examined my arm he was surprised that the wound had closed. “How did this happen?” he asked in disbelief. Without stitches, the wound cured itself in 8 days.

I explained to them that I am a Falun Gong practitioner. “If you read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Gong cultivation practice, you will understand what has happened,” I said. Many people, including the doctors and nurses, witnessed the power of Falun Gong through this experience.

Falun Dafa has been well known for its extraordinary healing power. In my more than two decades of cultivation, I have witnessed this power over and over again. My mother started practicing Falun Dafa in 1995. She was hit by a car in 2004 when she crossed a street, and was thrown into the air. She landed in front of the wheels. Fortunately, the car stopped just in time.

Master, the founder of Falun Dafa, said:

“All of these kinds of things come to take away one’s life. But one will not be in real danger.” (Zhuan Falun)

My mother had strong righteous thoughts. She got up and said to the driver, “As a Dafa practitioner, I will not cause any problem for you. I know you are in a hurry. You can leave.” However, the driver insisted she have a check up at a hospital. She was told that she had two torn ligaments that needed immediate surgery.

Master said:

“In doing so, we also do not allow it to go astray. If you truly follow the righteous way in cultivation, nobody will dare to do something to you at will. Besides, you have the protection of my fashen, and you will not be in any danger.” (Zhuan Falun)

My mother told the doctor, “I am a practitioner. The wounds will heal once I do the Falun Dafa exercises.” She checked out of the hospital and went home. My mother recovered soon after her return home. Then, she visited the driver to show him that she had recovered. His entire family listened to the facts about Dafa and the persecution. They all quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

I was illegally detained in labor camp in 2003 and my mother left home to avoid further persecution. While we were gone, my father was diagnosed with leukemia. My father, at the age of 58, had chemotherapy and other treatments for two years, but his condition worsened. My mother told him that only Falun Dafa could help him recover. With a ray of hope, he started to practice Falun Dafa.

He tossed out all his medication, and quit smoking and drinking. He studied the Fa and practiced the Dafa exercises. He felt better day by day and returned to good health in less than one month. My uncle, who did not believe in the power of Dafa, witnessed my father's recovery. Now he tells everyone that Falun Dafa is good.

When giving birth by a Cesarean section, I had a life and death experience. The doctors could not stop the bleeding and I needed a blood transfusion. However, the blood was not readily available. Although my family was deeply disturbed, my mother decided that only what Master says counts. They asked Master to stop the bleeding. I silently recited “Falun Dafa is Good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good.” The bleeding stopped.

Master said:

“When disciples have ample righteous thoughts, Master has the power to turn back the tide.”

As a young Falun Dafa practitioner, I face tribulations, just as older practitioners do. However, often with the support of those older than I, problems were resolved and I improved on my cultivation path. The local police were harassing practitioners who had sued Jiang Zemin, the former Communist Party leader who launched the persecution of Falun Dafa. Many practitioners were arrested.

One evening my father failed to pick me up from school, nor could I find him at home. I became worried and many negative thoughts entered my mind. I then contacted my mother. She had me check our home for any signs of disturbance. Then, she wanted me to contact another practitioner if my father was not home by 11:00 p.m., so we could hide all Dafa materials. As father did not come home, Ms. Chen, the other practitioner, and I packed and moved all Dafa materials and took them to her home.

My father's employer said that he had been arrested the day before by local police officers, because he had filed a suit against Jiang Zemin. Other practitioners advised me what to do and helped reinforce my righteous thoughts. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all interference preventing my father from returning home.

At the police station I was given the runaround, with no one telling me who arrested my father. After going there several times I realized that I was not diligent on my cultivation path and still had a lot of attachments. I then thought about using my relatives' connections, but in the end, Mother and I did not think this to be a viable solution. Practitioners divided into groups to rescue my father. Some mailed letters, some made phone calls, and others sent forth righteous thoughts.

Besides, I was told that clarifying the facts to people who work in the judicial, police and procuratorate departments would be beneficial. It would help them understand the unjust nature of the persecution and change their actions. When I came home, police officers handed me a blank “search warrant” document. They found some truth-clarification materials that I forgot to hide. First I was a bit afraid, but put my fears aside and talked to them about Dafa. They changed their attitude and sympathized with me. In the end my father was released from the detention center after 15 days.

After a few days, I was told that one of the police officers who had come to my home quit his job and accepted a position unrelated to the government. Prior to writing the university entrance exam, I was not doing well in the arts, which was my chosen major. Others at school had low expectations of me. I knew that this was the old forces trying to discourage me through ordinary people. I did not want to give up. I believe that what Master had arranged for me was the best. Not only was I admitted to a prestigious university, but I was also awarded a scholarship.

When I was younger, a prestigious primary school refused to accept me due to my low IQ. My mother became my tutor, but I still struggled. My mother then decided to stop teaching me, and instead she and I studied Zhuan Falun for three months. After that I did well and even won an award in a math competition in fourth grade.

The university entrance examination results were published, and I did very well. I wanted to tell everyone. I checked online and realized that my classmates did not do as well as I did. I was even more proud of myself. After Fa-study, I recognized that I had the mentality of showing off and zealotry. For instance, after my dad was released from the detention center, a few practitioners praised me, which made me very proud.

When reading Master's Fa, I realized that I had nothing to show off, as everything is bestowed upon us by Master. I also had jealousy, such as, when other people had higher marks than me, I felt unbalanced in my heart. These were serious attachments I had to let go. Studying the Fa helped me eliminate these attachments. Besides the above attachments I also found that when I played with my cell phone, I became agitated. My mother said that I changed into another person.

This made me truly realize the negative impact brought about by one's playing with the cell phone and having a show-off and jealous mentality. Diligent Fa study helped me let go of my attachments and incorrect notions.

No one would believe the little girl in this photo almost died nine years ago when she was only a year old. The girl is my granddaughter. We rushed her to our local hospital in Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province, on December 6, 2008, with a viral infection. The ER doctors gave her IVs and told us to take her home to rest.

But she fell into a coma the moment we got into our car. The doctors were puzzled and referred us to Huaxi Hospital in the neighboring city of Chengdu. An ambulance rushed us to Huaxi Hospital, but the doctors there said there was no hope when they noticed my granddaughter’s pupils were enlarging and her teeth were clenching.

My son and his wife started to cry, and I knew that only Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, could save our baby. I kept saying “Falun Dafa is good” into my granddaughter’s ears. In less than 30 minutes, she regained consciousness and began to talk. My whole family was confident that Master Li gave my granddaughter a second life. Now, nine years later, she is as healthy as can be.

I share this in hopes that people can see that Falun Dafa is extraordinary and nothing at all like what is depicted by the Chinese communist regime’s propaganda.

Whenever I have visited my parents, who live in a village, I have heard many wonderful stories about Falun Dafa practitioners, which took place after the practice spread through the village in 1998. At that time, a woman in a neighboring village learned Falun Dafa from her sister and taught it in the village after returning home. Many people became healthier and stronger through practicing Falun Dafa, and some people were forever cured of chronic diseases.

These miraculous events caused a sensation in the small village, and more villagers came to learn Falun Dafa. They later set up a Fa study group to study the main teachings of Falun Dafa, in the book Zhuan Falun. The first miracle happened when a young woman suddenly began floating about two feet above the ground during the Fa-study session. She then continued to float in a circle around the courtyard.

Another amazing occurrence happened to a 70-year-old woman who had a bad temper and used to curse at others over trivial matters. Everyone was afraid of offending her. She always had difficulty breathing, her legs hurt, and she rarely worked in the fields. After practicing Falun Dafa, she turned into a different person. She treated people nicely and gave others a hand when needed. Her body became stronger and stronger. At age 80, today she can walk swiftly like a young woman, and sometimes she is found working in the fields. The villagers know that Falun Dafa gave her a new life.

Another woman, age 50, who never went to school, was very anxious because others were able to read Falun Dafa books and she couldn't. She asked her grandchildren to teach her how to read and gradually learned to read Zhuan Falun fluently. After witnessing such a great change, her husband took the initiative to shoulder more housework to give her more time to study the Fa. Her husband also benefited a lot from Falun Dafa. After the persecution began in 1999, her husband often rode a bicycle to transport her around to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa to the other villagers who had been harmed by the Chinese government’s lies about the practice.

Another villager, who was suffering from severe hepatitis, had not improved even a little after spending a lot of money on medical care at a hospital. His wife encouraged him to give Falun Dafa a try because she knew that many villagers had their diseases cured through practicing Dafa. Within two days, his skin became golden, looking very scary. At first he was nervous, but he soon calmed down after a local coordinator explained to him that his body was being cleansed. He insisted on doing the exercises and studying the Fa. As expected, his skin soon became normal and rosy.

Many people in the village rushed to tell others how they had benefited from Falun Dafa. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched its persecution against Falun Dafa in 1999. Some villagers went out to tell people the facts about Dafa, and some did not. The practitioners who were steadier in their faith went out to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa to the rest of the villagers. They encouraged others to remember, “Falun Dafa is good,” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

One practitioner learned that her neighbor was suffering from water in the lungs. The man was lying in bed unable to sleep at night and was seeking medical help. The practitioner clarified the facts to him, encouraged him to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and advised him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good,” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Amazingly, the man could then sleep at night. His disease disappeared completely, and he could work normally like before. He now tells others that Falun Dafa and Master Li gave him a second life.

There was another villager who was suffering from liver cancer. His doctor suggested that he have surgery as soon as possible. But his family was very poor and unable to afford the operation. A Dafa practitioner visited his family and encouraged him and his wife to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He advised them to sincerely recite, “Falun Dafa is good.” This couple later started to study the Fa teachings together. After a period of time, the man no longer felt any pain in his liver. He then went to the hospital for another X-ray. His doctor was surprised, and said, “Something must be wrong with images taken last time. Why can’t I find any cancer spots on these films? You are alright, and you can go home now.”

Falun Dafa is a Buddha School cultivation practice, and in a short time has spread to more than 100 countries and regions, attracting all ethnic groups and all kinds of people around the globe. It's time for the persecution to end, and for Falun Dafa to again be freely practiced in China!

I am eleven years old and just graduated from elementary school. My grandma, grandpa, and aunts all practice Falun Dafa. I was fortunate enough to spend this past summer with them, studying the Fa and learning the exercises. During the summer, I got rid of my 7-year addiction to video games. When I was younger, my grandma and grandpa took care of me because my parents were very busy. According to my grandma, I started listening to the lectures of Master Li before I could speak. I also imitated Grandma and Grandpa doing the exercises. When they sent forth righteous thoughts, I played quietly next to them. My grandma said that I was a healthy child and rarely got sick.

I left Grandma and Grandpa when I started elementary school. My parents have always been very busy with their work and often couldn't pick me up from school, so I had a key to our apartment and usually came home from school with no supervision. I started playing video games and became obsessed with them. Because I wanted to play video games, I did not want to do my homework and often slept late. I couldn't focus in school and had frequent headaches. My parents tried many ways to keep me from playing video games, but nothing worked. As time went by, I became irritable, overweight, and did not like any outdoor activity.

A few weeks ago, my aunt show me the following paragraph from “Fa Teaching Given at the New York Fa Conference Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Dafa's Spreading:”

“Yes, today’s video games are all made by people who are acting at the prompting of aliens. People think that those games were their own creations. But as I said earlier, people don’t know the source of the ideas they have that make them want to create those things. People have no awareness of what’s involved in their thought process at various levels, or how it is that foreign ideas get put into their minds. People are only aware of what happens at the surface level. Those games are harmful and poisonous to humankind, and are leading people to lose their humanity.”

I was shocked, and that made me determined to give up video games. I picked up my phone and started to delete the games on it. Suddenly, the screen blacked out. I asked Master for help and took out the battery. I then put the battery back in and turned it on. The games were deleted. A few days later, I was using an iPad and saw the video games on it. I couldn't help starting to play again. My aunt reminded me to strengthen my righteous thoughts and break away from video games. She said that our precious bodies should not be controlled by bad things. I immediately deleted all the games on the iPad.

Through studying the Fa, I started to understand that human society is like a mud puddle. Everyday people are attached to fame and self-interest and find society enjoyable, but it is actually very dangerous. Master has provided us with a ladder that can lead us to heaven. If we assimilate to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance through cultivation, we can climb that ladder and return to our true homes.

I am a 15-year-old practitioner who has been practicing Falun Dafa for the past two years. I would like to share some of my experiences in cultivation. My grandmother is also a Falun Dafa practitioner. One day, two years ago, she fell from the window ledge while cleaning the glass windows. She was sent to the hospital and we were told she had bone fractures. She treated herself as a practitioner and returned home without any medical treatment.

Through doing the exercises and reading the Fa everyday, she recovered. Unlike other people, my grandmother did not suffer from a lot of pain either. I personally witnessed how miraculous Dafa is and decided to be a practitioner. Soon after I took up the practice, a new Lunyu was published. Grandma encouraged me to memorize this new publication by Master Li (the founder the Falun Dafa). It took me two nights to remember the teachings by heart. I am now memorizing Zhuan Falun whenever I have time. A fellow practitioner said to me, “If you can memorize the entire book, it will be very admirable.” I want to be a person who is able to do that.

My grandmother holds a Falun Dafa study group at her place. Many people come together to read at night and I join them. I was quite diligent when I stayed with grandma. I looked within whenever I ran into problems and was strict with myself in following the principles of Dafa. Once someone hit me quite hard while I was at school. I did not retaliate. My classmates were surprised. In the past I would have reacted angrily if someone hit me, but now I am a practitioner. Master taught us not to fight back when beaten or sworn at. I smiled at my classmates and told them that I'm a changed person.

On another occasion, a close friend lost her temper with me all of a sudden. I was puzzled as I did not do anything to upset her. I responded by giving her the cold shoulder. At home while reading Zhuan Falun, I came across this paragraph:

“If the person did not create this situation for you, how could you upgrade your xinxing? If both you and I are nice to each other and sit there in harmony, how can it be possible to increase gong? It is precisely because that person has created this conflict for you that there is this opportunity to improve xinxing, and you can make use of it to upgrade your own xinxing. Isn’t your xinxing raised this way?”

I realized that my response to my friend was wrong, and that I had human attachments such as jealousy, competitiveness, showing off and resentment. I made up my mind to get rid of them. I am a Dafa practitioner and must act by making up with my friend tomorrow. The next morning, just as I was going to look for her, she came rushing to me smiling. She apologized for losing her temper and asked me to forgive her. I thought to myself, “I should thank you for giving me an opportunity to improve my xinxing.”

Upon returning to my parent's home, I lost the cultivation group environment. I slacked off, watching TV programs and played computer games. However, Master did not give up on me. Time and again, I saw Master in my dreams. I knew Master was encouraging me to be diligent. In one dream, I saw Master watching me while I did the exercises. My posture was wrong and Master lifted my arms up slightly. I heard the sound of my bones cracking. I felt very light and relaxed. Words cannot describe how wonderful it felt!

During another dream someone called me into a room, but it was locked and I could not go in. After I made several attempts to go in, the person finally opened the door using a fine toothpick. Upon entering, I saw Master and practitioners sitting inside. There was a spot next to Master. He looked at me and made a gesture for me to sit in the empty spot. I woke up from the dream and I was very grateful to Master for his compassion. I was not able to go into the room initially, but Master opened the door and offered me salvation just like so many other practitioners. He does not want to give up on anyone, but if you cannot let go of human attachments, how can he bring you home? I was in tears when I thought of this.

I had another dream where I was chased by a group of people. I climbed over a wall and saw a black car driving towards me. The car stopped and I was captured. I was very scared and shouted for Master to help me. Just then a gust of wind blew me away from the car and I was saved. I knew Master was constantly watching over his practitioner. He has given us too many things and the best way to repay him would be to do as he told us to.

Although I am a young practitioner, I feel that I should not miss the opportunity to talk to people about Dafa. Once a practitioner asked me if I wanted to come along with them to give out informational flyers. I said yes, but it was raining. I prayed for the rain to stop and in the end, it did not rain that night. We gave out all our flyers and helped people understand the facts about Falun Dafa.

I used to have many illnesses. I was very sick and relied on medicine to keep going. When I began practicing Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) in 1997, my health gradually improved. I am now completely illness-free.

Practicing Falun Gong not only improved my body and mind, but my family has also benefited. I always feel that Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, is looking after me and my family. In 2004, my youngest son had dug a cesspit two meters deep for holding manure. One day, my four-year-old granddaughter accidentally fell into the cesspit. She was submerged up to her neck, yet she was rescued and suffered no injury.

Another time, my neighbor had leaned a large, heavy metal door against a wall. My granddaughter was playing under it, but it fell, trapping her underneath. She managed to crawl out from under the door, and she wasn't hurt at all. Once, my husband noticed blood in his urine and went to the hospital. The doctor suggested that he go to a larger hospital for a checkup. I then asked Master to help him and put a Dafa amulet around his neck.

After the check-up, the ultrasound showed that everything was normal. I told my husband that my Teacher had looked after him. A few days later, my husband recovered completely.

When one of my daughters-in-law was about to give birth, her doctor advised her to have a caesarian. I told her to believe and recite, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good!” She believed me and constantly recited these words. The baby was born naturally, with my daughter-in-law in labor for less than two hours. When my grandson was only six years old, the family split apart, as my daughter-in-law had started taking drugs. My grandson missed his mom very much. I told him to sincerely recite, “Falun Dafa is good!” and also to ask for Master's help.

He followed my suggestion, and two days later my daughter-in-law called my son and told him that she missed their son and wanted to come back home. When my daughter-in-law came back, she stopped taking drugs for awhile. But her addiction soon got the better of her again. I asked her to listen to Master's lectures. She did, and finally gave up the addiction in seven days. The family was happy once again.

Although I began to practice Dafa in 1997, I did not experience a major tribulation until March 2017. Although it was touch and go, my belief in Master and the Fa was instrumental in my overcoming this tribulation. I felt heartburn after lunch on March 5, 2017, but did not pay much attention. However, the pain worsened, and was accompanied with nausea and vomiting. Although the pain stopped after a while, it returned intermittently in my heart, liver, abdomen, or lower back.

My appetite was gone and I could not eat anything for the next nine days. If I tried to eat, I vomited, and even vomited on an empty stomach. I also felt pain off and on, and usually for an hour. Sometimes I fell asleep while enduring the pain and my mind was clear after I woke up.

I knew that this tribulation was a test, so I had to be steadfast and completely believe in Master and Dafa. When I was awake, I listened to Master's lectures and recited Hong Yin, so I could uphold righteous thoughts. I also did the exercises as often as I could. I was not afraid of death, but I was afraid of tarnishing the reputation of Master and Dafa.

When I felt most miserable, I thought of doing the bigu method, which would mean that I would have to abstain from food and water. I dismissed the idea quickly, as Master has said that Dafa practice does not involve bigu. So, I ate a little bit off and on and asked Master to help me, because my time to pass on had not come yet.

Additionally, I kept looking inward for my attachments. From studying the Fa, I was certain that this was not an illness. I said in my mind that I was Master Li Hongzhi's disciple and a veteran practitioner. I only follow Master's arrangement and negate the old forces and their arrangements. Even though I had loopholes, I would correct them in the process of my cultivation. The old forces did not have the right to test or interfere with me. It took a while to convince my family members of my reasons for not going to the hospital, by helping them understand that this was a cultivation issue.

When the pain was excruciating, I said to Master, “Master, why am I unable to bear the pain? I know your arrangement for me should all be bearable. What did I do wrong? Please give me some hints. I will do better.” At that moment, energy moved from my lower abdominal area towards my head. When it reached my neck, it disappeared and my entire body became free of pain.

After that day, I vomited again, but the pain had lessened and was bearable. I knew that Master had reduced my tribulation and born some of the the pain for me. I had to do the rest myself and pass the test. I recovered after two-and-a-half months. My husband, a Chinese medicine doctor witnessed my return to good health without any treatment. He told my relatives and friends, “Anyone would have died from organ failure after seven days of no food or drink, but she still survived after nine days. She made it by believing in her Master and Dafa and Fa study and exercises. It is extraordinary!”

I am a 63-year-old housewife from the countryside. Before I found Falun Dafa, I'd been suffering from heart disease, migraines, bronchitis, cystitis, and gynecological problems. Every day was a struggle, and I had to be hospitalized a few times every year.

After learning Falun Dafa in February 2000, all my ailments disappeared. I was a brand new person, full of energy. I understood the purpose of life, and my xinxing was constantly improving.

One day in the end of November 2014, I found a small lump in my left breast. I told another practitioner the next day. She told me, “Dafa is omnipotent. Don't think about it. Just study the Fa. Believe in Dafa and Master.”

But my mind was not at peace. A few days later, my breast began to ache, then my back. My husband, son, and daughter-in-law urged me to go to the hospital. My sister-in-law and neighbors also heard the news and urged me to go as well. They warned me of all the terrible things that could happen if I did not seek medical treatment. However, after listening to them, my mind became clear. I had a strong thought – truly believe in Master and Dafa.

My son called a taxi for us to go to the hospital and declared that he would tie me up and carry me there if I refused to go. I had no choice but to go with them. But my heart did not waiver. After several tests, the doctor asked us to wait for the result at home. Two days later, my son told me that it was breast cancer and I should have an operation.

I had a calm talk with my family. I told them: In the past, I was unable to fulfill my duties as a wife or a mother because of my poor health; but Dafa gave me back my healthy body. Since then, I've been able to do farm work and house work, take care of my grandson; our family became happier. I told them that Dafa gave our family so much, and it would see me through this as well.

During the following few days, it rained a lot, thus they did not think of going to the hospital. I kept studying the Fa and doing the exercises. At the same time, I kept my thought strong – believing in Master and Dafa.

On October 17, 2015, my breast became so painful that even my clothes touching it made it hurt badly. It swelled badly too. My husband asked me if I needed some painkiller. I said no. Instead, I asked him to give me Zhuan Falun.

I held Zhuan Falun with both hands and said to Master, “I will believe in Master and Dafa steadfastly. I will never waver until the last minute of my life.” I was not afraid and my heart was unusually peacefully even though I was in so much pain.

That night, I felt that I was fighting death the entire night. I did not feel sleepy and my mind was clear. My husband was watching me, but could not tell what was going on. Time seemed to stand still.

At daybreak, I resumed studying the Fa. By the afternoon, the pain subsided. Since then, my condition became better and better each day, until I was competently healed.

My husband witnessed the whole process. He gets excited when talking about it, “Master is mighty! Dafa is miraculous and truly extraordinary!” My son, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law were all amazed at my full recovery.

My story spread throughout our village and to neighboring villages as well. Now my son and another villager have taken up the practice. More people have said they would also like to learn Falun Dafa.

I started learning how to practice Falun Dafa from my father earlier this year. On May 13, I got up early to practice the first four exercises, before sitting down with my father to send righteous thoughts for an hour and a half. Within the first half an hour, my legs began to hurt and my right hand began to tremble.

My father noticed my condition and told me, “This is caused by interference from the evil spirits and rotten ghosts from other dimensions. Disintegrate them with strong righteous thoughts!” My father continued encouragingly, “Today is World Falun Dafa Day and also Master's birthday. Cultivating to the best of our abilities is the best birthday present we can give to Master.” My father’s words strengthened my determination to persevere.

By the time an hour had passed, my legs were badly hurting and my hands, which were in the lotus position, were violently shaking. My father noticed me trembling and advised, “In cases of very strong interference from evil spirits, you can ask Master for help to disintegrate them.” Amazingly, my hands stopped trembling soon after I sent a silent request to Master for help. However the evil spirits refused to admit defeat and increased the level of interference. Within half a minute, my hands began trembling so severely that I had difficulty keeping my palms and fingers together.

With my father’s encouragement, I continued asking Master for help while sending righteous thoughts. In the midst of this, I saw a large number of people sitting in the lotus position observing me gravely. I also heard a pitiful voice, calling my name and begging me not to continue sending forth righteous thoughts. I managed to persevere until the entire hour and a half hour had passed. At that point, my hand suddenly stopped trembling, the pain in my legs receded and Master suddenly appeared before my eyes, happily calling out my name before exclaiming, “That was wonderful!”

Master proceeded to open my celestial ears and eyes, allowing me to see and hear scenes in other dimensions. Master also strengthened my ability to eliminate evil beings and cleansed my body. From then on, I began encountering xinxing tests while practicing the sitting meditation. Once, while in the sitting meditation, I was lifted to a very high level where I saw the dazzling sight of Master smiling while sitting on a lotus flower. Just as I was surveying the scene delightedly, I was suddenly pulled down to stand before a tall and mighty god.

This god told me, “Come and learn from me. I am so tall and powerful that it is certain I follow the righteous way.” I immediately felt something amiss and recalled Master’s teachings, “One day you may suddenly see a large, tall immortal. He gives you a few complimentary words and teaches you something. If you accept it, your gong will be messed up.” (Zhuan Falun). With this in mind, I told the evil being, “I will not learn from you. I will only cultivate Falun Dafa. Don’t think you can intimidate me with your size. Once my supernatural powers manifest, I’ll definitely be larger than you.”

Just as these words left my mouth, I suddenly became as big as the universe. That evil being was even smaller than a cell! At this point, Master appeared in front of me, laughing happily. Yet another time while sitting in meditation, three beautiful girls materialized before my eyes and began to dance. I immediately recalled Master’s teachings, “I’m not an ordinary person. I’m a practitioner. You shouldn’t treat me this way, for I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner.” (Zhuan Falun)

In an instant, the three beautiful women turned into scary demons and advanced towards me threateningly. I remained unmoved and thought firmly, “I am a Dafa practitioner. I am not afraid of you.” At this point, one of the demons attempted to strike my head with his stick, though his attack was stopped by an invisible force. I knew this was a sign of Master’s protection. As the demons were relentless in their attempts to cause harm, I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate them. In response, a gap filled with fire suddenly cracked open in the ground. The three demons fell into the pit of fire and were instantly turned into ashes! On seeing this, I immediately burst into tears.

After my celestial eye was opened, I encountered tribulations each time I entered the sitting meditation. A firm righteous mind has helped me to overcome each tribulation encountered. Fortunately, I was granted the opportunity to become a Dafa practitioner. I am grateful to Master for purifying my body, strengthening my righteous thoughts and for arranging a smooth cultivation path!

I recently enlightened to some things I saw with my celestial eye. I want to share them with fellow practitioners as a reminder to cultivate ourselves more diligently and save more sentient beings. I saw that every Falun Dafa practitioner has many abilities, which connect with the abilities of other practitioners, just like chemical bonds in molecules. While we cooperate with others, others also cooperate with us.

The bonding issue among practitioners made me realize that no matter what we do to validate theFa, it is impossible to do it on our own. No project can be done completely independently from others; even confidential projects require cooperation among practitioners. When we use stories from a Dafa website to clarify the facts about the cultivation practice, it is a most simple form of cooperation with practitioners who run the media.

To illustrate the issue by example: Graphite and diamond are composed of pure carbon, but they have completely different physical properties. In a diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged tetrahedrally [composed of four lateral planes in addition to the top and bottom]. It forms a strong, rigid three-dimensional structure that gives a diamond extraordinary strength, hardness and durability. On the other hand, the carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in horizontal, hexagonal arrays. The planar arrays are loosely held together through weak stacking forces, rendering the graphite soft and slippery.

Thus, if a cultivator only focuses on his own project and doesn't pay much attention to other projects, he will lose his connection to others, just like the loose structure of graphite. Then, the evil can easily take advantage and separate him from other practitioners.

It is true that each practitioner works on different projects. It is not possible for everyone to join the same project or take part in all projects. But no matter what we do, we must form one indestructible body. Under the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution policy to “bankrupt them [practitioners] financially,” many practitioners have lost their jobs and suffered large financial loses. But that wasn't the end of the persecution.

The evil entities arranged all kinds of investment traps to test whether a cultivator has the attachment to personal gain and profit.

In most cases, these entities took everything from a Dafa practitioner. While it looked impossible for the practitioner to make a living through hard work, they would arrange an opportunity to make easy money, which appealed to the practitioner. This was to see whether the practitioner believed in Master or gave in to his greed.

Through my third eye, I saw that all the financial management programs, including stocks, different funds, and virtual currencies, are products driven by people's greed and under the control of evil entities. Even if someone profited from the investments, the profits itself carried a lot of karma and resentment from those who had lost the money.

Some investment programs are disguised forms of usurious loans. Those who participate in it became an accomplice of the loan officers. A practitioner shared that after he made some quick money through an investment program, he immediately lost the equal amount of money in other areas. He realized that if the money is not yours, you cannot keep it.

I also saw that once a cultivator becomes attached to profit, the evil would place a black, malignant tumor in his body. The tumor grows hand in hand with his attachment while destroying his righteous thoughts and other righteous elements in his dimensions. When the tumor reaches a certain size, it would manifest in this dimension, which may be in the form of bankruptcy or severe physical tribulations. In some cases, the evil waited to destroy the practitioner at the last moment, when the practitioner is close to reaching consummation, before taking him down. All of these arrangements are very evil, and none of us should get trapped in them.

Such problems weren't a simple matter of one exchanging de for money or making dirty money. It involves the issue whether one truly cultivates and whether one believes in Master. It also disgraces the sacred title of “Fa-rectification Period Dafa Disciples.” No matter whether one gains or loses money in those programs, one is helping the evil destroy mankind and will be punished for that.

For those who have already gotten involved in these activities, it is not too late to withdraw from it now. When we truly realize the problem and have a sincere heart to do better in the future, Master will help us.

Some practitioners have strong attachments of curiosity and quest and read novels. When they could not find such stories on Dafa websites, they began to read fantasy novels on the internet. But often times they would become mentally confused and lax about doing the three things after reading the novels. The more they did not feel like doing the three things, the more time they might spend on reading the fantasy novels, resulting in a vicious circle.

Fantasy novels and other fictions that can be downloaded from the internet are also part of the old forces' arrangements. These confuse people with modern concepts, notions and temptations, preventing people from following traditional wisdom taught by divine beings and the ability to obtain the righteous Fa.

Behind the words in fantasy novels are all kinds of demons controlling different desires. When a person reads it (which means one is pursuing it), those demons will get into the person's body, replicate themselves and control the person to do bad things.

Some practitioners also like to read mysterious stories or experiences on popular Chinese websites or blogs written by some so-called cultivators. Some people claim to be Dafa cultivators. Think about it: while the persecution is still going on in China, how can the evil regime allow a Dafa cultivator to publish their stories on a popular Chinese website? Doesn't that tell us something?

These articles usually fall into two categories: some are published by special agents to find opportunities to persecute Dafa practitioners, and others are written by real Dafa practitioners who have a strong attachment to showing off. When their articles were rejected for publication on Dafa websites, they turned to other websites, looking for an audience to satisfy their show-off mentality.

Worse still, some practitioners consult with someone who claims that his third eye is open instead of evaluating things based on the Fa when they encounter a cultivation test. These were all arrangements by the old forces to make cultivators stumble.

Some practitioners argue that they had read Dafa books many times and that they could not enlighten to anything after reading them; that's why they turned to fantasy novels for “enlightenment.” Instead of looking within, they turned to looking externally.

When we do not enlighten to new insights when reading Dafa books, it's very likely that we need to improve ourselves. Many practitioners are so devoted to doing the three things that they do not have the leisure of feeling “lonely” or “bored.” Practitioners who feel lonely or bored need to look within and truly cultivate.

All of what I see is from my limited level. I hope fellow practitioners will use the Fa as guidance. Please kindly point out anything improper.

As my 75-year-old mother returned home from grocery shopping seven years ago, she fell suddenly and lost consciousness. She was sent to the hospital. My family and I listened to the doctor explain the images of her CT scan. He told us that many places in her brain were clogged by blood clots. Even if he could save her life, she would be a vegetable. Despite the shocking prognosis, I had the thought that my mom is a Falun Dafa practitioner and that miracles can happen.

My mom suffered from many physical problems—severe malnutrition, high blood pressure, and heart problems. She had lost her hearing in one ear. She often went to the hospital when she felt discomfort here and there. She took handfuls of medicine every day, which caused her body to swell. She was so weak that it seemed she would collapse at any time. Everything changed when she took up Falun Dafa in the summer of 1997.

“This is a great practice! How come I heard about it so late!” she exclaimed. Her excitement caused her face to appear rosy, a complexion we hadn't seen in her for a long time.

“Let me tell you what happened,” she said to us. “I was walking by the river the other day. I heard some music and then, I felt someone push me from the back. I turned around and didn't see anyone. I became curious and followed the music. It came from the Falun Dafa exercise site. The assistant was very friendly and inviting. I stayed there and learned some movements from her. I didn't quite learn all the movements, but I felt so relaxed and comfortable. My body felt very light. It was so magical!”

We were all amazed by her experience. We supported and encouraged her to keep learning Dafa.

She told me that she had fever-like symptoms one day. She skipped dinner and went to bed. She woke up in the middle of the night and had sweat all over her body. The odor resembled that of a mixture of medicine. Then, she felt really comfortable, and her body temperature returned to normal. She realized that the Teacher of Falun Dafa was purifying her body for her.

Now in good health, my mother has become independent and often helps others. Because she had never gone to school, she found it difficult to read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. Seeing her sincere wish to learn, we agreed to teach her. While reading the book to her, I also took up the practice. She joined several reading groups with other practitioners. Eventually, she was able to read the entire book.

The good days didn't last very long. When the nationwide persecution of Falun Dafa was started in July 1999, our lives were turned upside down. Upset about the demonizing propaganda against Falun Dafa being broadcast across the country, my mom decided to try her best to let people know the facts. She often went to the countryside or residential neighborhoods to distribute pamphlets about Falun Dafa and tell people her story. For doing this, she was sentenced twice, and her pension was withheld by her workplace.

I recall my mom lying in the intensive care unit seven years ago. The doctor and nurses worked hard. They inserted all kinds of tubes into her body—an oxygen tube, a feeding tube, and a urinary catheter. She appeared to be in another world. We continually spoke to her, but she never responded. Seven days later, she woke up from her coma. She told me that she went to a heaven-like place, where some Taoist immortals were welcoming her. She said to them, “I'm a Falun Dafa practitioner. Master Li Hongzhi takes care of me. I don't belong here.” A dark shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and she woke up.

We were all astonished to hear her story. This was a real life-and-death test for her. With her strong faith in Dafa, she made it through.

Still, her body was badly damaged. Her left leg was disabled, her left hand was paralyzed, and the left side of her mouth drooped. She also appeared to be hyperactive and had difficulty concentrating. For example, she wanted to drink water one minute and then wanted to use the restroom a minute later, or she kept changing her mind about where she wanted to go.

Things were worse in the evenings. She got up four or five times during the night to use the bathroom, so whoever was taking care of her was unable to sleep all night. I was really frustrated and couldn't understand why this had happened to her. However, after so many years of cultivation in Dafa, I knew that things all have karmic ties and that nothing happens accidentally.

Teacher said in Zhuan Falun:

“Furthermore, how will you practice cultivation if you do not have any worries or troubles? How can you do the exercises comfortably and restfully? How can there be such a thing?”

I felt enlightened. As Falun Dafa practitioners, we cultivate in the mundane world and among worldly troubles. There is no easy path for cultivation. My mom needed my help, and I had to help her. The simple wish of helping Mom resume cultivation turned out to be an arduous journey for me. I began to read Falun Dafa books to her, even if she only listened to one word or one sentence each time. I told myself to have confidence and be patient with her.

Other Falun Dafa practitioners also joined me in reading the books to her and talked to her about their cultivation experiences. Gradually, Mom calmed down. She concentrated and listened to our reading the book to her, extending the time from ten minutes to fifteen minutes, and then half an hour. Dafa also manifested its power in her. As time went by, the more she listened to the books, the quicker she improved.

She began to read with us, and then she began to recite the poems from Hong Yin. Her mouth didn't droop anymore, and she could get up to use the restroom at night by herself. I am really happy for her and also deeply grateful for the practice and Teacher.

I had the amazing experience of recovering from a serious car accident in nine days.

On the evening of May 11, 2016, I was out on my electric bicycle putting up truth-clarifying posters. I planned to visit four villages, which were about three miles away. I had visited three of the villages by midnight. It was about 1:30 a.m. when I finally finished at the last one. I had expected to return home at around 2 a.m. The electric bicycle saved a lot of time and I planned to use it again.

I got to the main road and it was very busy, even at that late hour, so I took extra care. Then something happened. When I came to, I found myself lying on the ground. I tried to sit up but I couldn't move. Every part of my body was in agony. My head felt like it had been hit by a baton.

I couldn’t recall what happened at all. I finally sat up and found myself at the side of the road, my electric bicycle lying next to me. The road was still busy. I felt a warm liquid flow over my ear and I thought it was raining. When I wiped it off with my hand, I discovered it was blood. I checked my bicycle again and noticed the back seat was broken. I realized that I had been hit by a car.

My first thought was to send forth righteous thoughts. I didn't think this was a big deal. I believed that I would recover soon after doing the Falun Gong exercises. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. I thought I should call my husband, but I realized that he didn't have a car to come get me. I decided to get home by myself.

I started to pray to Master and recite the Fa:

"I'm Li Hongzhi's disciple, I don't want other arrangements or acknowledge them"--then they won't dare to do that. So it can all be resolved. When you can really do that, not just saying it but putting it into action, Master will definitely stand up for you. (Fa-Lecture During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference)

After I recited the Fa a few times, I felt better and found that I could stand up. I checked the bicycle again. The handlebar was a little bent but I was able to straighten it. My sense of direction was off, so I leaned on my bicycle and began to walk along the side of the road. Now I realized how badly I was hurt. My hands hurt when I grabbed the bicycle handle. My left palm was bleeding, and I felt many injuries on my face. I felt two cuts on the back of my head where blood was oozing out down to my ears. My left elbow was injured. My ribs might have been broken, since every movement was very painful.

I didn't stop sending forth righteous thoughts. When I was almost back at my village, the road conditions were worse. I could hardly continue. I was dizzy and wanted to vomit. I really wanted to stop, but I knew that I couldn't. I prayed to Master to help me get home. Finally, I was there. My husband was waiting for me, and it was 3 a.m. When he saw me, he was shocked. “Were you attacked? Why are you bleeding?” I told him that I had been hit by a car. Then I realized that the bleeding had already stopped.

My husband helped clean me up. I felt dizzy and nauseous again. He said, “You must have suffered a concussion.” With his help, I changed and cleaned myself. The dizziness and nausea came and went, but I was not affected. Instead, I kept sending forth righteous thoughts. When I felt better, I laid down and fell asleep.

The next day, my eyes, lips, and the left side of my left face were badly swollen. A neighbor visited me and urged me to go to the hospital. I told her that I was fine. “My head was bleeding on the way but it stopped before I got home— Master helped me.” I told her that I didn't need any medication. Doing the Falun Gong exercises was a hundred times better than any remedy.

I did the exercises and studied the Fa every day, and soon the left side of my face and left eye recovered. The right side of my face and my right eye had turned black. My husband said it was because there was blood in my brain. I told him I would be fine. I knew Master was helping me. Four days later, my face and eye were fine. By this point, nine days had gone by, and all my injuries had healed. I had totally recovered. Falun Dafa is so amazing!

Besides doing the exercises and studying the Fa during those nine days, I also looked inside. I discovered that I often blamed other practitioners for things.

Before the accident, the practitioners in my area were busy working in an orchard. Each of them only took few copies of truth-clarifying materials to post, so I had to take a lot more copies. I blamed them for not helping more. That loophole gave the old forces a chance to persecute me.

I don't know how to thank Master enough. Only with Master’s help could I have recovered from a serious accident in nine days. I realized that, as practitioners, no matter how difficult the situation, as long as we are steadfast in our faith in Dafa and Master, we will eventually get through.

Falun Dafa has benefited many people in our community. Here are but four brief examples:

My husband had a heart attack, leaving him unconscious one morning in December 1996. The doctor said he had many illnesses, the most serious being cerebrovascular insufficiency (a condition that results in obstruction of one or more arteries that supply blood to the brain). The doctor told my husband his life was in danger and suggested that he quit working and stay home to rest.

I had a friend who practiced Falun Dafa. She came to visit my husband and brought the book Zhuan Falun. It is the main book in the practice of Falun Dafa. She told him, “Dafa can save you. Follow the teachings and do the exercises, and you can regain your health.” My husband read the book and learned the exercises. His health improved, and within a couple of months, he was able to walk to the stores, tend the farmland, and herd the sheep.

He biked to the wheat field during the summer harvest season in 1998. As he crossed the intersection, a tractor knocked him to the ground and one of its wheels rolled over his ankle. The driver of the tractor offered to take my husband to the hospital. My husband moved his ankle and said, “I'm okay, my skin is just scratched.” Bystanders were amazed and happy for my husband. After seeing Falun Dafa's incredible effect on my husband, many people in my village who suffered from illnesses came to learn the practice.

My son fell off the roof of our house after having had a few drinks in the spring of 2013. I was in the house when I heard him fall. I found him unconscious. I held him while I repeated “Falun Dafa is good!” My son woke up soon afterward. He recuperated over the next 20 days and was able to do some chores. Less than two months later he found part-time work harvesting wheat. He is not a practitioner, but wonderful things do happen when one believes that Falun Dafa is good!

My sister was working inside a shed with five other women in 2013. They were counting tomatoes while people outside were burning corn stalks. A strong wind came and spread the flames to the curtain hanging at the shed window. The shed quickly filled with fire and smoke. The women could not find the exit and were having trouble breathing. My sister remembered what I told her to say whenever she was in trouble. She told everyone to yell, “Falun Dafa is good!” A puff of wind cleared a path so that they could see the door. They ran out of the shed, it collapsed and burned to the ground. Many in the neighborhood believe that it was Falun Dafa had saved the lives of those women.

A 70-year-old lady in my village could not walk because of the pain in her legs. She began to practice Falun Dafa in 1998, hoping to be healed. The pain was gone a few months later. She quit the practice when the persecution began. An abscess appeared on her leg. She went to a doctor to have it removed. The abscess kept returning and the sore festered and turned black.

The doctor said she had inflammation within blood vessels and advised her to have the leg amputated. A Falun Dafa practitioner suggested she return to Falun Dafa practice. The woman agreed. She resumed the practice, and stopped taking medication and seeking other treatments. Her husband was upset with her. He scolded and beat her for not seeking medical treatment. However he told her, “If you get well from the practice, I will practice too.”

The woman is in perfect health now, and her husband has begun to read Zhuan Falun. Her family is grateful to Dafa and Master Li (the founder and teacher of Falun Dafa).

I have been practicing Falun Dafa since 1997. Before I began to practice, I had many health problems, including chronic fatigue, stomach pain, and back pain.

I also had emotional problems. I took medication for many years but was never cured. A month after I began practicing Falun Dafa, all my illnesses disappeared.

The following is one of my experiences that demonstrates the power of Dafa.

Mr. Liu is a TV repairman. He had a shop near my son's place of employment. Mr. Liu's son became very ill in 2011, when he was just nine years old. He was hospitalized for three months.

The child was diagnosed with lymphoma. The tumor was located near his heart, so surgery was not an option. The boy had to have chemotherapy for 30 months, according to the doctors, and it would be very costly.

To pay for the treatment, Mr. Liu was planning to sell his house and car. He asked the doctor if this would cure his son. The doctor said there was no guarantee.

Three months of chemotherapy left his child semi-conscious, unable to speak, walk, or eat. The doctor told his father that the boy did not respond to chemotherapy and there was nothing more they could do for him.

I went with another practitioner to visit the family when I heard about this. We brought with us the main book of Falun Dafa, Zhuan Falun. We talked to the father and told him about Falun Dafa.

I said “Your child is very sick. If you and your family truly believe in Dafa, a miracle can occur.”

He chose to believe in the goodness of Dafa and quit the Chinese Communist Party.

We asked the family to take turns reading Zhuan Falun to the boy for 24 hours straight. We also told them to frequently repeat, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” They all agreed and continued for 20 days, at which time the boy woke up and had rice soup and half a bun.

Within three weeks, he could eat and talk. After another 20 days, he had gained six pounds, and, by the end, he was walking.

The child was taken to a well-known cancer center in Beijing just three months later. He had a full body CT scan, and not even a trace of the tumor was found, which confused the doctor, who asked many questions.

This boy is now a healthy junior high student.

Another practitioner and I planned to see the Shen Yun performance at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 18, 2017, in Connecticut. However, when I checked the weather forecast on Friday, it said that there was a 50% chance of snow between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. I thought that the weather might discourage many people from attending the show.

Since I was off work that Friday, I decided to send righteous thoughts every hour on the hour. I saw through my celestial eye a green bead in the sky above the theater, which made me think that we should go to the theater before the show and send righteous thoughts.

I also saw snow on the way to Connecticut and Faluns. Above the theater, I saw the last name of the practitioner I was going to see the show with, along with a Falun. I immediately called the practitioner and said, “Our mission tomorrow is to clean up the evil that is attempting to keep people from going to the show. We must protect and help them to attend the show.”

I also said that I could only eliminate evil elements from the dimensions designated to me, and I could not do the same in others' dimensions. We agreed to send righteous thoughts at the top of every hour to clear up the weather for the following day.

When I woke up at 4:00 a.m., the weather forecast had not changed. I decided to meditate and clear up the weather later.

My celestial eye showed me that Master was surrounded by a big fire. I felt very sad to see Master suffering for us. A week prior, I saw that Master was hit by the evil’s “nuclear bomb.” Although Master blocked the scene with a white matter, I still saw that he was bleeding.

I was shocked to see Master’s horrific wound. After I finished meditating, the weather forecast improved. Light snow was predicted between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.. I began to cry, knowing that Master suffered burns so people could attend the Shun Yun show. I knew that what I had seen was just the tip of the iceberg.

We left for Connecticut at 10:00 a.m.. We did not encounter snow or rain on the road, despite the forecast of snow for New York. Entering Connecticut, the weather got even better. It remained sunny until the show ended at 4:30 p.m. After we got back to New York after 6:00 p.m., there was a light drizzle.

The show was a huge success, and the theater was packed. I was so happy for the audience members. They had no idea how much Master suffered in order to save them. My heart was crying for Master’s boundless compassion. I also felt ashamed that we did not do our job well and let Master down.

I got a message from a practitioner at 10:00 p.m. on March 24, 2017. Mexico City had a power outage one hour before the Shen Yun show was to begin. I immediately began sending righteous thoughts. I knew Master would not allow the old forces to commit such a crime. I was fully confident that the interference would be cleared soon. Shortly afterward, I got another message that the power had been restored.

Although I can only see a few things, every time I see Master suffering for people, I am shocked and deeply touched. I also feel extremely fortunate to be able to help Master in saving people. I have no idea how much longer I can continue to do this. I do not even dare to think about that. I can never do enough to deserve Master’s compassion.

I was illiterate when I took up the practice of Falun Dafa. I couldn't read. Yet I still wanted to get a copy of the book Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa. I figured that my children could read to me when they had time.

One night, while my children were asleep, unable to read, all I could do was embrace the book.

I complained out loud to Master Li, “My children are so slow! How long will it take me to finish the book? Wouldn’t it be much better if I could read whenever I wanted to?”

I fell asleep afterwards and had a dream, but it seemed so real!

In the dream, Master Li opened the book for me. I was terribly nervous and said that I couldn’t read. He put the book down and dug something out of my ears. He opened up the book again and asked me what I saw. I said that it looked like window paper-cuts, with a lattice network of squares. He put the book down, patted my head twice, and left.

I yelled, “Master! Master!” I wanted to get up, but I couldn't move.

My daughter read to me the next day as usual. When she read the first line, the second line of characters jumped out! And then the pages turned pink! I told her I could read the characters.

She was surprised and asked me if I had a fever. I said that I didn’t have a fever, but it was true, I could read. She didn't believe me, so I read the next few characters to her. She asked what had happened. Tears flowed down my cheeks, and I told her that Master had taught me to read.

She thought that this was truly miraculous, and I agreed. I couldn't believe that I had such a dream and could suddenly read!

I am now able to read all of Master's writings. I even wrote to government officials and urged them to stop the persecution of Falun Dafa. I have also written articles about the persecution.

I had nephritis, gastritis, an irregular heartbeat, and a serious gynecological disorder before I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. I sought all kinds of medical treatment, but I just got worse. I then developed kidney stones and wanted to die from the pain.

A friend visited me when I had given up all hope. She urged me to practice Falun Dafa. My body was purified, and my health restored a month after I began the practice. It was then, many years ago, that I had this dream and became able to read. I am very grateful to Falun Dafa and Master Li.

I started to cultivate Falun Dafa in 1999. Following Master on this journey, I have witnessed many miracles. I would like to share two of them.

Another practitioner and I went out to distribute materials and put up posters. We saw a utility pole for an overhead electrical line at a busy spot and tried to put up a poster on it. My left hand accidentally touched a wire that had no insulation. Colorful sparks zapped my hand. I wasn’t afraid, but I had to pull my left hand from the wire with my right. Then I put the poster up on the pole.

I left. A few minutes later, my left hand hurt like there were needles poking it. But the pain disappeared a short time later, and I felt fine. I looked back and saw the wire was connected to a high-voltage transmission tower. I thanked Master for protecting me.

I visited a wonderful place in another dimension. It was a sacred place full of flowers. I heard music from far away and many small pink flower petals floated toward me. They were very fragrant. The petals lifted me up and took me to a beach, where divine beings were singing “Falun Dafa is good.” They all looked young. They welcomed me.

The ocean was boundless and very calm and smelled sweet. Far out in the sea, I saw several gold islands supported by giant gold lotus flowers. The islands radiated gold light. A gold pavilion on a giant flower floated to the beach. There were many different kinds of fruit on the table in the pavilion. A divine being invited me to enjoy them. I told him that I needed to go back to the human world, because I had to do the three things with Master, that many people are waiting for me to be saved, and I needed to fulfill my oath.

I told them to remember “Falun Dafa is good.” They nodded. They wished me tremendous success.

This is just part of what I saw. Many wonderful things cannot be described with words.

With Master's protection, I have walked on the path of cultivation till today. I will do the three things well and save more people, cultivating diligently.

Thank you, Master. Thank you, fellow practitioners. Thank you, Minghui editors. You have been working hard.

On August 10, 2005, my classmate's husband suffered severe burns from a gasoline fire. More than 90 percent of his body was burned.

When he was taken to the Jixi City People's Hospital, he was in excruciating pain. He was taken to a separate ward and only his wife was allowed to see him initially.

I accompanied his family to the doctor's office to consult about his condition and medical treatment. I asked the doctor, “How much is needed to cure him?”

The doctor looked at me and responded, “How much? It's not an issue of money, but whether he will even survive. In my experience, within seven days someone with his injuries will show symptoms of dehydration, renal failure, and systemic organ failure that will lead to death. The family should be prepared.”

His family was heavy-hearted upon hearing these words.

I went back to the ward and saw him moaning in pain while receiving electrotherapy. I told him straight out, “If you can follow my words, I can guarantee your recovery. I have a special prescription.”

He saw a line of hope and said, “If you could make me better, I will do whatever you ask.”

I said, “Are you a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) member?”

He replied, “No.”

I then asked, "When you were younger, did you join the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers?"

He said, "Yes, I am a member of the Youth League and Young Pioneers."

I talked to him about quitting those organizations. “As Heaven is going to annihilate the CCP, you will stay safe if you quit the CCP, the Youth League and Young Pioneers. Let me help you quit them.”

He understood and responded positively. “Isn't this what Falun Gong talks about? I've watched their DVD and read their pamphlets. Falun Gong was wronged. I know that Falun Gong is good. Just help me quit those CCP-affiliated organizations.”

“I will help you quit these organizations,” I said. “As of now, you've quit the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers. There are spiritual beings three feet above one's head, so you will be well protected from now on. Next, let's start reciting these nine words, 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' It works only when you say them sincerely.”

He exclaimed, “Great, Falun Dafa is good!”

“You do not need say them out loud. It's alright to say them in your heart. Never think of your illness, but focus on reciting 'Falun Dafa is good' and you will see miracles.”

He promised to follow my words immediately. I purchased a video player for him so that he could listen to Dafa music – “Pudu” and “Jishi.” I often went to see him in the hospital. Every time I visited I heard him murmuring “Falun Dafa is good.”

One time he told me that he saw a crowd of small figures busy doing something on his body that made him feel very comfortable. He listened to Pudu and Jishi whenever he was in pain. As time passed, his condition stabilized and he began to improve. Meanwhile, he received intravenous infusions every day.

The doctor was surprised to observe his quick recovery. He said “It's a miracle that you are still alive! It'd be quite normal for you to have passed away by now. Since this hospital was established, we've never seen a patient survive who was burned over 90 percent of his body.”

To my regret, we didn't tell the doctor the facts about Falun Gong. It's Falun Gong that saved him.

More than two months later, he had recovered completely and was able to go home. There was no major scarring of his face or body – he looked as normal as anyone. As his wife, son and parents witnessed this miracle unfold, they all believed in Falun Gong and also quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Yuan Ji #fundie en.minghui.org

My name is Yuan Ji. I was born into a farmer's family in Shandong Province, China. I started practicing Falun Gong in January 1999, to heal my illnesses. After I started the practice, all my illnesses vanished.

Years later, I stopped practicing due to various forms of interference. One day, I fell very ill and was diagnosed with severe diabetes. I was hospitalized for over four months, which cost me upwards of US$10,000. The doctors told me that there was no cure for diabetes, and the best they could do was to help control the symptoms with medicine.

My fellow Falun Gong practitioners shared with me and encouraged me to resume studying the Fa. But I lost my confidence and thought that Master didn't want me. One afternoon at 6:00 p.m., I saw two small Falun rotating in front of my bed. I watched them for four minutes. They disappeared when I tried to focus in on them.

I was delighted, as I knew Master was still protecting me, even though I was not cultivating well. I was speechless before Master's compassion and grace.

I then resumed reading Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Gong. A miracle occurred a few days later. I went from taking four insulin injections a day to taking one pill a day. A few days later, I didn't need to take any pills. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said that everything was fine with me.

This is one of the many miracles that happened on me since I started practicing Falun Gong.

I obtained the Fa in 1997. My health was extremely frail before I started cultivating, and I was constantly ill from severe asthma attacks. The stress from my illness caused me to become a very introverted, indecisive, and timid person. Within a month after I began cultivating, my illness vanished and I recovered to full health. Dafa also changed me for the better and I became a more selfless, wise, and decisive person.

My family has also benefited from Dafa. My eldest sister was diagnosed with mid-stage breast cancer in 2005. After her surgery, her doctors prescribed a course of expensive chemotherapy. However, since our family was not well off, we were unable to pay for the treatment. I advised her to study the Fa with me instead. “Even if you undergo chemotherapy, there will still be side effects from the treatment. In contrast, the Buddha Fa is boundless and able to grant miracles.” She listened to my advice and started learning Dafa. Her cancer went into remission, and ten years later, she remains in perfect health.

Another sister underwent surgery to remove a rectal tumor in December 2011, and only broke the news to me after the surgery. I paid her a visit and saw that she was in bad shape. Her complexion was pale and she was barely able to lift up her head. To obtain some relief I asked her to recite the phrase, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

She laughed sarcastically and asked, “My illness is very severe. How can reciting a few words cure my illness?” I replied, “You’ve seen how bad my body was previously, and how fast I recovered after cultivating in Dafa.” My sister retorted, “You have been practicing for the past ten years. It is only natural that your health has improved.” I said, “Why not try reciting the phrase and see how much benefit you will obtain?”

Convinced, my sister took a Dafa protective amulet from me and recited the phrase “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” That night, she managed to sleep soundly and the bags under her eyes also disappeared. This experience convinced her to practice Falun Dafa.

Three days after obtaining the Fa, my sister was able to walk around her home and eat a small quantity of food, including bread and fruit. Her doctors had initially prescribed chemotherapy, but subsequent examinations confirmed that the chemotherapy was no longer needed. My sister’s cancer has been in remission for the past five years and she remains in perfect health.

My family and relatives have benefited much from Falun Dafa, and I have shared these stories of our experiences in order to express our gratitude towards Dafa.
