Experiences of New Falun Gong Practitioners in China (Part 1)

Aug. 9, 2013 |   By a Dafa practitioner from Guangxi Province

(Minghui.org) Yuzi (alias) is a new Falun Gong practitioner who began the practice in August 2011. After she started practicing Falun Gong, her physical health and mind improved dramatically. Her neighbors and friends witnessed the miraculous changes in her and some of them gradually started practicing Falun Gong too. In March 3, 2013, the practitioners formed a group to study the teachings of Falun Gong together. Below are some of the miraculous experiences of these new practitioners.

1. “Where is Dafa? Please Let Me Know about It as Soon As Possible”

I knew Yuzi for 20 years. She is a beautiful and kind person. In 2001, I sent her some Dafa books. But a few days later, she returned them to me and said that her boss at work would not let her practice Falun Gong. I felt very sorry for her.

In August 2011, a friend called me. She told me that Yuzi was very sick and asked me to visit her as soon as possible. She also mentioned that Yuzi needed the Traditional Chinese Medicine herb called gastrodia elata . I called Yuzi immediately. Her voice was very weak over the phone. She told me that she was taking a lot of medicine every day but it wasn't working. I thought that I should take the herb to her. My sister, also a Falun Gong practitioner, happened to have a very good batch of gastrodia elata at home. She immediately found the herb and asked me to give it to Yuzi. But when I was about to visit her, the bag with the herb had disappeared. Fortunately, I was about to go to Yunnan Province for business. I thought that I could still buy the herb in Yunnan for Yuzi. After I got back from Yunnan with the herbal medicine, I told myself not to lose it again. But when I was about to visit her, the bag of herbs disappeared again. It was very strange. I mentioned it to a practitioner who said, “Why have you not still enlightened? What she needs is not the medicine. What she is waiting for is Dafa.” I immediately understood. Although had she returned the Dafa books to me ten years ago, now Fa-rectification is at the last step and everything has changed.

When I arrived at Yuzi's home, I was shocked. She used to be widely acknowledged as being elegant and beautiful. But now, she was very thin and full of wrinkles and her eyelids were drooping. It was hot, but she had four to five hot water bags on her. Her door and windows were tightly closed, as she was afraid of the slightest bit of draft. She told me weakly that she had severe vertigo. When she moved, she felt very dizzy. It has been half a year since she had gotten sick. Her family had searched everywhere for medicine to treat her. Her husband woke up early every day to help her arrange an appointment with the specialist. She also took many medicines. But none of them worked and her sickness became more and more severe.

The month before, when Yuzi had lain down on the bed, she suddenly felt very dizzy. But she could not move at all. She had to call the emergency dispatch number for help. When the rescue crew came, they were not able to open her bedroom door. She was very close to the door, but was unable to move at all. They had to pry the door open.

When all other attempts to get healed failed, Yuzi became desperate and resorted to witches and sorcerers for help. She burned incense all over the room and hung unrighteous photos. She also played Buddhist music on the audio player. I asked her if any of it worked. She said no.

I told Yuzi, “You know my story. Before I practiced Falun Gong, I also had severe rheumatic heart disease and had had heart surgery. After I started practicing Falun Gong, all those illnesses disappeared. Now, only Dafa can save you. You should cultivate Falun Dafa.” She asked whether Dafa could really help her. I said, “Let's watch the Shen Yun Performing Arts DVD together first.” While she remained in bed, we started watching the Shen Yun DVDs. As soon as I turned on the TV, she suddenly changed and her eyes lit up. She said, “The color is so beautiful and the dance is so beautiful. I feel very comfortable.” While she was watching the show, her body straightened up. She sat straight up for nearly three hours while watching the show. She took a little break during intermission. I mentioned to her that she had sat straight for three hours. She said, “Yes. You are right. I watched the show for three hours but I was not dizzy at all. I have not felt like this since I got sick. This is really a miracle! I want to study the Fa. I want to practice Falun Gong. Where is Dafa? Please let me learn the practice as soon as possible!”

I told her that I only had Master's Fa lecture audio recordings. She said anxiously, “Please let me listen to it as soon as possible.” I put the MP3 player near her ear and turned it on. She said, “So this is Master's voice. I feel very very comfortable. Could you please not take the audio away? Please leave it for me to listen.” While she listened to Master's Fa lecture, she often cried. Tears covered her face. So Yuzi learned Dafa. Since then, she is no longer dizzy and her weak and thin body has become beautiful and healthy again.

After Yuzi became a Dafa practitioner, she was truly grateful for Master's salvation. She said, “Even though I returned the Dafa books a long time ago, Master did not give up me. Although I got sick, I think Master gave me another chance.” She wanted to tell everyone that Falun Dafa is good, that Falun Dafa saves the sentient beings and that people should not be deceived by the lies of the evil Chinese regime.

Yuzi studied the teachings of Falun Dafa often. She was enlightened by the Fa principles and understood that Dafa disciples should “Cultivate yourself well and save sentient beings” (“Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference”). Although she was a new practitioner, she realized that it is every Dafa disciples' responsibilities to do the three things well and help Master to rectify the Fa during the Fa-rectification period. Soon she started to clarify the facts of Falun Dafa to her relatives and friends and persuaded them to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations. She also helped many people to learn about the practice.

2. “So They Are Already Dafa Practitioners”

Haiqing (alias) is a friend of Yuzi's. After she witnessed her friend's miracle, she also started to practice Dafa in September 2012. Haiqing is almost illiterate. Yuzi read Zhuan Falun to her every day. While Yuzi read, Haiqing would often suddenly enlighten to certain matters, “Oh, now I understand why it is like this.”

Haiqing is from another province. She came to help her daughter take care of her child. When Haiqing was young, it was just at the peak of the popularity of qigong in China. She suddenly became insane without any apparent reason for a year or two. After she recovered, she actually had supernormal powers. When she touched a person, they often immediately felt that the sickness had disappeared. She could also see in other dimensions and communicate with the beings in the other dimensions. She helped many people, and the locals called her “Supernatural Being.” Haiqing later received messages from another dimension telling her that she could no longer cure the illnesses, nor use her supernormal powers. So she stopped it. But for the past many years, she could not understand the supernormal occurrences which happened to her. So she went to the Buddhist temple to worship and also donated a lot of money. Since she was the “Supernatural Being,” many locals also followed her and converted to Buddhists in the temple. The monks in the temple really liked her since she became a source of money for the temple. But in her heart, she was puzzled.

When Haiqing studied the teachings of Dafa, she immediately understood the cause of many of the things that she'd experienced. But since she was illiterate and could not read the Dafa books herself, she was very anxious. She thought, “I can't always have people reading Dafa books to me. I need to read the books myself.” She held Zhuan Falun in her hands and asked for Master's help in reading the Fa. Master saw her sincere heart and helped her. One day, she suddenly recognized the words in Zhuan Falun and could read the book. At the study group, she could read along with the others in turn. Although she still needed their help with some words, she truly believed that she could completely break through the difficulties with Master's help.

After Haiqing began the practice, she immediately dropped her addiction to mahjong, which she had played for many years. Her daughter was very surprised and really admired Falun Gong. But soon, her daughter's attitude changed completely. She not only scolded her mother often, but also said bad words about Dafa. Haiqing knew it was a test of her xinxing. Had this happened before she became a practitioner, she would have packed up everything and left immediately. But now she was a Dafa practitioner. She did not need to strike back when struck nor swear back when sworn at. So she treated everything with a smile and looked inward at the same time. She found many human notions within her and sent forth righteous thought to eliminate them. Afterwards, her daughter became kind to her and everything went back to normal again.

After Haiqing studied the teachings for a while, Yuzi taught her to practice the exercises. Soon after she learned the practice, she experienced many illness karma tests. First, she urinated a large amount of blood. Then her head became so painful that she felt it would break. Later, she had great pain in her back. She knew that Master was cleansing her body for her. She maintained her xinxing and broke through the tribulations one by one. Each time she broke through a test, her complexion, which had been sallow, improved. A few months later, her skin was pink and soft. She looked much younger than other people her age. The dramatic changes in Haiqing surprised everyone she knew.

Then Haiqing thought about the people in her hometown who had unwittingly followed her to convert to Buddhism. She thought she should go back and tell them about Dafa. So she went back home, thousands of miles away. The people in her hometown were all surprised when they saw how healthy and energetic she looked. Then she started telling them about Falun Dafa, “I had worshiped many unrighteous things and it was really not the right way. Now, I bring you the real treasure.” When she brought out the Falun Gong materials, everyone smiled. Dafa was already well acknowledged there.

Haiqing's hometown is a middle-sized city. Dafa had already spread widely there. Photos of Master are prominently displayed in homes. Banners and informational materials about Falun Dafa are everywhere on the street. Currency with Dafa messages is also widely used. The police and the practitioners live in the same building. The practitioners put the banner clarifying the facts on the doors of the police officers. The police who know the facts have stopped persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.

Haiqing attends the local group study which include PhDs, white-collar office workers as well as illiterate elderly people and children. The practitioners are busy with Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. When they saw the new practitioner from faraway, they all helped her wholeheartedly. They helped her to post banners and pass out flyers containing information about Dafa. They also gave her many Dafa books to take back, and taught her many good ways to clarify the facts.
