(Minghui.org) I had the good fortune to start practicing Falun Dafa during the summer of 1998, and embark on the road of cultivation. I had long known Dafa was good, but after witnessing what happened to my wife and my sister, I was finally convinced. The mere words “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” truly save lives!
My Wife Recovered from Her Illnesses
My wife previously suffered from ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatic heart disease, and severe anemia. She spent every day in torturous pain. Yet, within just a few months, right after she started doing the Falun Gong exercises, I witnessed a drastic physical change in her. Her face began glowing and her spirits lifted. She went from complaining about every little thing to showing genuine concern for others. With a heart of gratitude towards Dafa and its miraculous healing power, she entered into the rank of Dafa cultivators.
Unfortunately, she was unable to let go of the notion of “sickness,” and after practiding for just three months, she dropped out. She failed to grasp the profound truth of Dafa. She couldn’t bear the physical pain, and returned to the hospital to seek relief. The doctors concluded that based on the medical knowledge in China at that time, they could offer my wife no cure, but could sustain her life with long-term drug treatments.
For the next decade, my wife went to the hospital every month for drugs.
Without much hope, I gave my wife a Dafa talisman in the spring of 2012, and pleaded with her to recite daily, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
Six months had passed when I suddenly noticed and realized my wife had not been to the hospital for drugs in a while. When I mentioned this, she told me frankly, “I haven’t taken any medication for six months now. I don’t know if it’s because I have been seriously reciting, 'Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!'”
Tears of gratitude immediately filled my eyes. I knew in my heart it was the result of Master’s compassion.
I said to my wife, “This is our magnificent Master who has offered you salvation.”
To this day, my wife continues to enjoy good health.
My Sister Saved from Medical Disaster
I went to visit my sister in the first half of 2013. I was completely shocked upon seeing how altered she was. I couldn’t believe that this person was my sister. I found out she had come down with a severe form of hyperthyroidism with systemic edema, squinting eyes, and blurred vision.
I was sitting only about half a meter across from her, when she said, “Little brother, I know it’s you, but I can’t even see your features. Everything is blurred.”
She proceeded to tell me her story. She had undergone medical treatment at a city hospital. The side effects of the drugs had caused her eyes to squint and her vision to become blurred.
So she went to see an ophthalmologist who said, “The condition of your eyes is the result of adverse side effects of a medication. There’s nothing I can do. On the one hand, stop the medication and your eyes won’t get worse. On the other hand, stop the medication and your hyperthyroidism won’t be treated properly.”
She then sought treatment at a hospital that specialized in hyperthyroidism. The dosage was increased, her eyes deteriorated, and everything else went downhill.
She then went to Zhanjiang Medical College Hospital, where the professors, after consultation, told her, “We can only guarantee your existing condition will not worsen. It is impossible to return you to normal physical health. This hospital can only prescribe medication for you for a month at a time. When you finish the month’s prescription, come back for a checkup and we will give you medication for another month.”
I told my sister how my wife had recovered from her illnesses. I gave my sister a Dafa talisman and taught her to keep reciting, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” I told her, “It will work if your heart is pure and sincere.”
About two months later, I went to see my sister again. She seemed extremely happy. I was delighted that her condition had changed, like night and day. She had returned to her normal pre-illness state of health.
She told me, “‘Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!’ is truly miraculous! I recited that every day and every night. The more I recited, the more I felt my body get lighter, and felt I had more energy. My swelling is gone. My eyes are normal.”
A few days later, she went for a complete check up. She was told that everything was back to normal. My heart is filled with thanks toward our magnificent and compassionate Master.
