(Minghui.org) I was a construction worker who was quite pale and thin. I suffered from chronic gastritis, hepatitis B, duodenal ulcer, and other diseases before I began my practice of Falun Dafa.
In April 1998, I went to Shenzhen to attend my nephew's wedding and stayed at my niece's home. My niece was very worried when she saw me. She said,“Uncle, you are just 52 years old, and you have so many diseases! My dad died of cancer when he was just 53. You should pay attention to your hepatitis B, otherwise it might turn into cancer.” I said,“ I cannot find anything to help. I have been taking all kinds of medicine and so many food supplements, but it seems useless.” I asked her if she had any good ideas. She said, “ My aunt has some books here. Reading these will help you get better. ” It turned out that my niece's aunt was a Falun Dafa practitioner.
I was a materialistic atheist at that time and didn't believe that I would be healthier by reading books. However, after opening the book, I felt that it was good. Usually, I could not sit for a long time to read a book due to my poor health. However, this time I was able to sit and read for several hours without feeling tired.
My Celestial Eye opened
Later I bought three more books and went back to my hometown. I continued to study the Fa at home by myself.
A month later, I woke up at three o'clock in the morning. I saw the moon, round and bright, and the whole room was lit up. I thought it was daylight and sat up. Then the room became dark and I had to lie down and go back to sleep again. After an hour, the same thing happened again. I then woke up my wife and asked her why I saw the moon twice. My wife said, “You were dreaming. It was raining, so you could not have seen the moon.” I replied, “ No, I was not dreaming because I clearly saw it and I even sat up.”
Afterwards, in Zhuan Falun, I read:
“Some people’s Third Eyes aren’t blocked, though. They have a passageway, but they haven’t practiced qigong before and didn’t have any energy before. So when they start to practice, a black, round thing suddenly shows up in front of their eyes. After they’ve been practicing a while it gradually starts to turn white, and from white it gradually brightens, getting brighter and brighter, and the person’s eyes get a little dazzled from it. So some people say, 'I see the sun' or 'I see the moon.'”
After reading this, I went to Shenzhen and bought the videotape of the exercises and started to learn the exercises.
More changes after practicing
I liked gambling, poker, mahjong, etc.. When I played mahjong, I could play for two days and nights nonstop. After I began to cultivate, I improved somewhat, but I still could not give it up. However, every time after I gambled, I would bite my tongue. My tongue was bitten in several places so badly that I could not even eat porridge. Was it Master's warning telling me to stop gambling? I could not believe it, but after I stopped gambling, I stopped biting my tongue.
I had been very thin and never weighed more than 62 kg. After practicing Falun Dafa, I gained 12 kg in one year and my appearance has greatly improved. Falun Dafa not only benefits people mentally, but also physically.
