(Clearwisdom.net) I am a farmer like any other in my area. I have practiced Dafa for just two months. I walked into Dafa cultivation when Jiang's regime tightened its persecution of Dafa. It was the time when the order to shoot Falun Gong practitioners who distribute Dafa truth-clarifying flyers was first announced. I decided to practice Falun Gong because Falun Dafa is good and Dafa gave me a second chance at life! These are honest words, spoken from the bottom of my heart.
My life before obtaining Dafa was miserable; I had so much pain and suffering. I had heart disease for years, and a fist-sized tumor in my abdomen. The pain was unbearable. During all those years, there was not a single day that I could relax and feel comfortable. I suffered from diarrhea constantly, and only slept for three hours every night. My poor health caused my appetite to become smaller and smaller. Actually these were nothing; the most terrible thing was I had some kind of spirit or animal possession for many years. Whatever possessed my often tortured me and made me feel like I was living in hell. I was so frightened. If I thought about getting rid of it, it would become much fiercer and make all kinds of trouble for my family and me. I begged and cried in my heart: can someone please set me free?
In the middle of June, my sister stopped by to clarify the truth about Dafa. She told me not to be deceived by the lies spread by Jiang and his followers, that the Tiananmen immolation incident was staged to defame Dafa, and that Teacher had come to save people. She also said that her understanding was that my many years of suffering from diseases could indeed have been caused by some kind of spirit or animal possession. If I really wanted to cultivate, Teacher would help me. I believed what she said without reservation: Teacher will save me. Several days after she left, she came back to give me the precious book Zhuan Falun.
My sister left the next day. Before I started reading the book, whatever possessed me was extremely afraid and began to torture me and made me fall sleep. When I was able to open my eyes three days later, to my surprise, Zhuan Falun was gone! I felt I had suddenly been thrown into a deep darkness--I felt so desperate and helpless. I was made severely ill. My family sent me to a hospital and spent approximately 800 Yuan but I didn't show any signs of recovery. Frustrated, my family had to take me back home. I started to count my days and wait for my death. On July 17, my sister came to see me. When she found that the book was gone and I was on the verge of death, she took me to her home. Other practitioners also came to see me. They helped me listen to the audiotapes of Teacher's lectures, gave me another copy of Zhuan Falun to read, and taught me the five exercises.
I haven't received much education in my life, but I believed Teacher's every word, and I followed what Teacher said. Soon, I felt a Falun rotating in my lower abdomen. The tumor disappeared, my heart rate became normal, the diarrhea stopped, and the most apparent change was that our benevolent Teacher removed whatever had been possessing and torturing me these past more than 20 years. I witnessed all of these changes as they occurred. Dafa's mighty power was demonstrated through my personal experience.
On July 27, exactly ten days after I was taken to my sister's home, my twenty years of suffering disappeared. It was Teacher's benevolence that let me see hope in life. I cannot find the words to adequately express my deep and sincere gratitude to our Teacher. It is Teacher and Dafa that saved me from the darkness and granted me real life.
The big change that Dafa brought me greatly impressed my family and our neighbors. People's attitudes toward Dafa began to change in a positive direction. Especially since my granddaughter and grandson also began to practice Falun Gong. Now the three of us study the Fa together, do the exercises, and clarify the truth about Dafa to people.
Though I am an elderly woman living in a rural area without any specialty or the capability to do many things, as a Dafa practitioner, I think that even though people can see that my diseases are gone, there are still lots of people who believe those vicious lies. They are the same as I was before I practiced Falun Gong; they are eagerly waiting for salvation. How can I sit and study Dafa alone without feeling the pain they are suffering? I will do my best to let them know the truth of Dafa, I will tell them that Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is righteous! I will diligently practice Dafa and follow our Teacher's words and return to my real home.
