(Clearwisdom.net) I had read a few paragraphs in the book Zhuan Falun, and attended group study sessions twice, less than a month before the persecution started in 1999. I then stopped practicing and started fighting for personal fame and gain, as a government employee. I plotted against others, just like everyone else, had as much fun as I could, and didn't mind hurting others.

My father died in late 2007. I found Zhuan Falun and the exercise video tapes among his belongings. As I thought about him, I realized that my father couldn't stop thinking about his illness and wasn't a true practitioner. I took the book and tapes home. One day my index finger became swollen and I couldn't write, so I thought perhaps I could try the exercises. I did the sitting meditation 15 minutes a day for three days. The swelling on my finger disappeared.

At that time, a colleague of mine who was a Falun Gong practitioner came to my house to talk to me about Falun Gong and the persecution. My child and I quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliations after talking with her. I began practicing again with the practitioner's encouragement. Within about three days, Teacher removed my illnesses. It was as if cold air was drawn out of my lungs. In a dream, I saw Teacher scooping me out of hell. The ghosts held on to me, but were left only with one of my shoes. In saw in the dream that Teacher then cleaned me in a hot bath. Afterward, I continually read Teacher's new articles that I had received from the practitioner, and almost forgot about eating and sleeping.

I had problems with my gallbladder, intestines and heart. I had many emergencies and almost died several times. Once when doing the exercises, I felt the Falun turning in my heart, and saw in another dimension that two doctors were operating on me. They took out my intestines and took apart my pelvis. Toward the end of the surgery, one of them said, "It's clean now. Let's hurry up and put the intestines and pelvis back so she can go to work." At that moment I woke up in extreme pain, but I still went to work. Since then my heart, intestines, and gynecological problems were gone. My belief in Teacher and Falun Dafa were now deeply ingrained.

Teacher said,

"For practitioners, we have set the strict requirement that they cannot kill lives." (Zhuan Falun)

Soon after I studied the lecture, my child wanted to eat deep fried silkworm chrysalises. I didn't think of them as lives and fried a plate of them. That night I saw Teacher sprinkle dew on the chrysalises and save them. They turned into beautiful peacocks that smelled scorched. I knew then that Teacher had shouldered my karma. I looked within and corrected my mindset, and I have never killed since.

I take every opportunity to tell everyone about Falun Gong. When two of my friends returned from Beijing, I went to their house and spent the whole day telling them all about Falun Dafa. They invited me to dinner and told me that they would tell their friends and family in Beijing, and ask them to quit the CCP.

Last summer, I went out in the evening to distribute Falun Dafa materials door to door. When I returned home, a police car was parked in front of my neighbor's house. That was the first house where I left Falun Dafa material. I sent forth righteous thoughts, greeted the police officers and went home.

One day when I returned home from distributing the materials, the house was very warm, and I thought about opening the windows. Right after I took off my shoes and lifted my head, all the windows were open.

Teacher takes care of his students, like what he said,

"The truth is, I treasure you more than you treasure yourselves!" ("Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)" from Essentials for Further Advancement II)
