(Clearwisdom.net) I am an electrical engineer and have suffered from many diseases for over 20 years. In 1976 I had a total gastrectomy, and later had surgery for early-stage gastric cancer in 1986. I suffered severe rheumatoid, cervical, and spinal arthritis, uveitis, large particle gallstones, osteoporosis, and other problems. During that time I suffered from all kinds of diseases. My back became bent down at an angle of over 30 degrees. I could not stand straight, and I could not turn my head left or right. When I went up or down stairs I had to tightly grip the handrail and move step by step. I could not turn over and sit up in bed without help, and I could not lay flat during this time. I also had to endure the torments of other diseases, which were very painful whenever they attacked me. I had to make an appointment at the hospital to ask for emergency treatment every few days, and I took many medicines and injections, which cost me a lot of money each month. Not only did this affect my normal work, but it also put a heavy financial burden on my family and my work department.
On March 1996, one of my colleagues who practiced Falun Gong introduced it to me, and gave me a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. I could not tear myself away from the book after I started reading it, and the more I read, the more I liked it. I finished the book in one day, and deeply felt that the Fa was great. After that, I watched Master Li's teaching videos with other practitioners, listened to the tapes, and practiced the exercises. However, after I began practicing, all kinds of interference came, including someone calling me insane and foolish, and another person thinking I was being superstitious. I knew that I cultivated because I understood from the bottom of my heart the preciousness of the practice. Therefore the criticism from others did not discourage me. It instead made me more determined to persist.
Unexpectedly, after practicing for one or two months, some miracles happened one by one, and I got surprising results. After cultivating for one month, I had loose bowels for an entire day, and excreted large amounts of waste, but I felt relaxed and happy, not tired. I knew Master was purifying my body, and I was very grateful. After cultivating for nearly two months, without noticing it happening, my back became straight while practicing the sitting meditation with the group, and my fellow practitioners were happy for me. I could hardly believe that after having a hunched back for over 20 years, that it disappeared, and I could stand upright. My other diseases manifested one by one, as if being pushed out from the annual rings of a tree, and each one disappeared in turn. I finally no longer needed the hospital or the medicines, and could perform well in my work, like a healthy man.
In late October 1997, for the first time in so many years, I participated in volunteering my labor to clean the debris between buildings. I dug in the dirt and pushed carts with others, and I did this continuously for four hours. My colleagues were surprised, and said, "I can't believe you are so well now! Falun Gong is amazing!"
As I continued cultivating, my celestial eye eventually opened. Once while doing the exercises, I saw the scene of, and the reason for, the incident where the rectifier cabinets provided by our research institute caught fire. After talking with the designers at work, what I had seen in other dimensions was identical to the actual situation. Because I found the problem, they implemented some preventive measures. Through a second testing, these preventive measures were shown to be effective.
From my own experience, I realized that Falun Dafa is a higher science and very powerful. It can not only make a practitioner healthy, but more importantly, it can raise one's xinxing, develop one's wisdom, and elevate one to higher levels.
