(Minghui.org) I was not healthy from my childhood and had a bad marriage. When I was still young, I suffered from many illnesses such as gastritis, severe insomnia, hepatitis, myocardial ischemia, hyperostosis, and anemia.

Due to having many diseases, my quality of life was poor. I spent most of my time traveling and spending a lot of money looking for a cure, but my symptoms got worse rather than better. At that time, my child was diagnosed with an almost incurable disease. Seeing my child suffer, I was pained and felt helpless.

When I was in the midst of despair one day, my mother said to me, “That uncle that lives downstairs used to have many illnesses and almost died not long ago. Now, his illnesses are gone and he looks very healthy. I heard that he did not take any medicine but that he practices something which cured him. Why don’t you ask him how he did it?”

The man enthusiastically told me what he did: “I practice Falun Dafa, which is a great cultivation practice.” He then gave me the book Zhuan Falun. After I read it, I was shocked and excited by its contents. I realized why I had to suffer so much and encountered so many tribulations. The root cause was that incarnation after incarnation I had built up karma. If I wanted to get better, I had to cultivate Falun Dafa in order to return to my original home.

Reading Master’s lectures made me very excited. I seemed to be a long lost child, who had finally met one of her parents. He let me see the light in the vast night. I had hope and was determined to practice Falun Dafa.

Therefore, I became a Dafa practitioner. It was amazing and almost unimaginable. Some people said that my illness could be cured within 10 days or one month. But for me, it only took two hours. It is true—I am not exaggerating.

On May 10, 1998, I found a group practice site for the first time. I followed the coordinator and learned the exercises. On my way home, my usually heavy legs seemed to be getting lighter. That night, I simply fell asleep. In the past, I had to take three sleeping pills in order to fall asleep. By only practicing two hours, my symptoms ceased to exist and I became a healthy person again.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt refreshed and my usual dizziness was gone. I was stunned about this quick improvement. Dafa gave me a new life. I became calm and was able to take good care of my ill child and thus my child’s health improved greatly. A desperate family was happy again.

I was so happy for having found Dafa and told my relatives and friends how good Falun Dafa is. My neighbors and co-workers noticed my improvements after I began to practice Falun Dafa and were truly amazed. Several of my friends also started to practice. One of my friends was soon completely healed of cancer. I really cherished this opportunity.

With Dafa in my mind, I do everything according to the Fa principles. My xinxing greatly improved, and my notion that life was unfair disappeared. I felt as though my life was transcendent. The notions that cause people to chase after fame, profit, and intrigues were gone from my life. I stayed calm when someone bullied me. I got along with people and was able to properly look at someone’s life from the point of view of a cultivator.

I remember one year my workplace arranged an apartment for me, but my stepdaughter took it. It was impossible for us to buy another apartment, due to our poor financial situation. However, I accepted the fact, stayed calm, and looked inward according to the Fa. I knew that nothing happens by chance and this incident tested my attachment to fame and personal gain.

Master said in Zhuan Falun: “If something is yours, you will not lose it. If something is not yours, you will not have it even if you fight for it.” (Lecture Seven)

When my stepdaughter declared that the apartment was hers, it seemed that it would not be mine and that I should give it up. My husband appreciated how I had handled this difficult situation and was moved. He treated me better, was supportive of my cultivation, and did more chores, so that I could have more time to validate the Fa and tell people the facts. In the past, he may have felt that he had bad luck having a sick wife. Now he feels very lucky that his wife practices Dafa and that his family is happy and without illnesses.

In the past, I suffered from many illnesses, had a miserable life, and felt that life was meaningless. After I started to practice Dafa, my soul returned, I had a peaceful mind and was filled with compassion. Dafa gave me a new life.
