(Clearwisdom.net) I am fifty-three years old. Although I am a new practitioner, I came across Dafa a long time ago. However, because I was too busy with my business, I did not practice it.

In May of 2007, my eye disease suddenly worsened. My eyes hurt so much that I could not open them. I could not even see the stairs clearly. When I watched TV, I had to stay within one meter of the fifty-inch TV screen. And my eyes would hurt after watching TV for only twenty minutes. I had this disease since I was little. In the past, I had sought medicine all over the country and seen many famous doctors, experts, and professors. However, my condition never improved.

One time, one of my relatives who practiced Falun Gong, told me about the practice once again. He said to me, "Falun Gong is a cultivation practice of mind and body. It is very miraculous. You should give it a try." As a last resort, I started practicing Falun Gong. On the sixth day, my eyes no longer hurt. It did not hurt even after I watched TV for three and a half hours straight. I thought to myself, if my eyes allow me to read, I would certainly read the book and study the Fa well.

Several days later, when I tried to read the book, I could really see the words well (because of my eye disease, I had not read for many years) and no longer needed magnification. In addition, wherever I looked, it appeared clear and bright. For the first time, I saw clearly the blue sky, green grass, the colors of the clothes people were wearing. I could even see the pattern of the tile in the bathroom. Words could not express how amazed and excited I was. I opened the book Zhuan Falun, and facing Teacher's picture, knelt down, bowed to Teacher and cried.

I regretted that I had missed Dafa before and had been lost in a maze for all these years.

Through studying the Fa and cultivating my Xinxing, I followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. My views and notions changed a lot. I became more kind and mild. When I encounter conflicts, my first thought is that I am a practitioner. I am always tolerant to my family and rarely get upset. I don't even know how to get upset any more. In the past, my family did not want me to practice Falun Gong. After seeing the huge change in me, however, now they are very supportive. Now I am clearheaded and healthy. My family life is harmonious and happy. My family said that it's as if I had totally changed into another person altogether.
