I Am So Fortunate to Have Learned Falun Gong
By a new practitioner in China
I am a science and engineering graduate student, and began practicing Falun Gong in the spring of 2008 while I was in college.
Falun Gong Practitioners Don't Lie
In the spring of 2001 when the news of the self-immolation incident at Tiananmen Square was spreading throughout China, many practitioners went to Beijing to appeal for justice. At the time, my father was working at the county bus station. He saw the guards there placing Teacher's photo on the ground in front of the entrance to the bus. Unless each passenger stepped on the photo, they were not allowed to board the bus. My father felt very sad when he saw this and told me, “Falun Gong practitioners neither lie nor cheat. They would rather be arrested than lie about practicing Falun Gong.”
My Experiences of what Teacher Mentions in the Lectures
I was laying down with my eyes closed during a lunch break one time, when I saw a path leading to an exit where there was a big eye covered with gold. The cover looked like yellow, intertwined lightning, and it made a lot of crackling sounds. The lightning gradually disappeared, and I saw clearly that the eye was staring at me. It was just as Teacher said,
“A blinking eye that is so big is looking at you, and it is vividly clear. Consequently, some people call it a demon’s eye, while others call it a Buddha’s eye, and so on. In fact, it is your own eye.” (Zhuan Falun)
While taking a nap, I saw the sleeve of the woolen sweater I was wearing. The woven fibers disappeared like dissipating clouds. Later a bustling modern city full of skyscrapers appeared. It seemed a bit like New York City. It reminded me of when Master mentioned about there being cities in our pores, with trains and cars running in them.
I was sending emails about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and other truth clarification materials at an Internet cafe across from the school campus one day. As soon as I stepped out of the cafe, I saw a large golden Falun on the left column of the school's gate. On another day, a white Falun suddenly appeared above my head. It was like a spinning wheel made of water, and it disappeared after a few seconds. I think these were signs of encouragement from Teacher.
I once felt Teacher purifying my body. As soon as I lay down, I felt as if I was being pinned down. I naturally crossed my hands over my chest. I then felt as if two large brooms were sweeping me from head to toe. Heat flowed throughout my entire body, and then left through my feet. I was floating with the quilts lifting up off my bed.
I am so fortunate to be able to learn Falun Gong!
My Family and I Benefited from Dafa
By Yuqing
I began practicing Falun Gong in the spring of 2008, and know that several of my relatives have also benefited from my practice. All I can do is wholeheartedly listen to Teacher and remain diligent.
My aunt and uncle are both farmers. They live in the suburbs and collect discarded goods to earn a living. My aunt became ill from being overworked, and last year the doctors found a tumor in her stomach. My uncle took her on his motorcycle to seek treatment. Unfortunately, the motorcycle crashed and my aunt's arm was injured. The doctor told her that she first had to wait for the swollen arm to heal before he could proceed with the surgery to remove the tumor.
When I returned home for summer vacation, I told my aunt about Falun Gong and encouraged her to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. She gladly agreed. I said to her, “When the pain is hard to forbear, just recite 'Falun Dafa is good'.” Her swollen arm had healed within two weeks, and when she returned to the hospital for a pre-operation examination, the doctors found that the tumor had disappeared. She sought a second opinion and the result was the same. My aunt and uncle were both very happy and grateful for Teacher's compassionate salvation.
My other uncle liked to drink and smoke, and he had poor health. He had a stroke and was half paralyzed, which made it difficult for him to move around. I suggested that he recite 'Falun Dafa is good' and advised him to quit the CCP. I also gave him a copy of Teacher's poems. Two weeks later, my uncle told me that he was able to walk again. He truly felt the power of the Fa.
My mother suffered from constipation for more than ten years. I told her the facts about Falun Gong many times. During the Autumn Festival this year, I paid my respects to Teacher, and asked my mother if she wanted to do the same. When she did, she made her wish. The next morning she joyfully said, “My ten years of suffering from the illness disappeared overnight. I think that Teacher Li is taking care of me.”
I sincerely look forward to Teacher's return to China.
