An Elderly Man's Story: Falun Dafa Gave Me A New Life

(Clearwisdom.net) I am an old man. I have experienced many tribulations in my life. Due to fatigue and damage to my body, I suffered kidney disease before the age of thirty and heart disease when I was near forty years of age. I felt that I would rather die than live with the torture of chronic illness. My medical expenses became a heavy burden to my family. I wanted to get an artificial heart in early 1990, but couldn't afford the cost of the operation, so I continued to suffer in pain day by day. My body began to show toxic reactions and became bruised all over due to the large amount of medicine I had consumed over such a long time.

In the spring of 1997 I started to practice Falun Gong. After practicing for just twenty days, I felt that my health had significantly improved and decided to stop taking medicine. A day later, I was too happy to even sleep, realizing I hadn't taken any medicine for the past twenty-four hours. For 20 years, you see, I had taken medicine daily, closely following a medication schedule. Since then I have not needed any medicine or injections, yet have enjoyed excellent health. Doesn't my experience confirm that Falun Gong is beyond science?

When Jiang Zemin's terrorist organization started to persecute Falun Gong in July of 1999, several of my co-workers and some policemen came to my house to tell me to stop practicing Falun Gong. I replied solemnly, "I began to practice Falun Gong to get rid of my illnesses. I gained my health back in just one month. Prior to that, I visited all of the major hospitals in the province and all of the famous doctors in the area to treat my illnesses, but none of them was able to cure me. Falun Gong is such a good way of cultivation practice. Who could be so bad that they want me to stop practicing and die? Furthermore, Teacher's books tell us to become better people. If you are not a good person, your illnesses will not be cured. Is it a crime to be a good person? Nowadays, how can people distinguish right from wrong and good from bad? Ask my neighbors and co-workers and they will tell you that I had required various types of medication for many years. I couldn't even breathe normally before." I became excited as I continued to say, "Teacher saved me. Falun Dafa gave me a new life. No matter what you want to do to me, I have made up my mind to steadfastly study Falun Dafa and to follow Teacher closely." Seeing my determination, they left without a word.

When I began practicing, I saw that other practitioners were able to read the books and study the Fa diligently. I was illiterate, however, and so worried that I held Teacher's books in my hands and simply cried. I determined to learn how to read and was able to read Zhuan Falun and other Dafa books shortly thereafter. Many people witnessed the changes in me. As a result, after I clarified the truth of Falun Dafa to people in my surrounding environment, my supervisors were soon after able to understand Falun Dafa further. When corrupt police forced practitioners to attend brainwashing classes, my supervisors withstood the pressure from authorities, resisting the persecution by saying, "These practitioners are good people. Why do you want to transform them? Go do what you should do."

Falun Dafa gave me a new life. The great compassionate Teacher saved me from suffering and created a miracle for me. This is a truth that Jiang Zemin's evil political organization cannot deny.

No words can describe a Falun Dafa practitioner's wonderful inner-self. I wrote down these personal experiences, hoping to share the joy and happiness of practicing Falun Dafa and to benefit others who read this article.
