Article Review: The Changes in My Mind and Body Since I Began To Practice Falun Dafa

A Practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) I am forty years old. I want to use the changes in my mind and body as an example of Falun Dafa's goodness, and to speak out a fair word about Master Li Hongzhi and Falun Dafa to the kindhearted people all over the world.

1. The situation before I practiced Falun Dafa

a. My physical situation

I used to suffer from ectopia on the inner wall of my uterus. Every time I had my period, it felt so painful that I thought I would die. In addition, the pain happened on and off at other times. So each time it came, the pain was worse than the last time. I had an operation to cure this, but the doctor told me the disease was incurable; even the operation could not get rid of its root. Just as he said, I still felt the pain in my stomach after the operation. I also had a stubborn headache. Back when I was in school, if I concentrated on a lecture too long, my headache would become terrible, as if my head were about to explode.

After I got married and had a child, I suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and arthralgia [neuralgic pain in the joints]. I could not even hold my child. I searched for doctors everywhere to heal my illnesses. I had learned several types of Qigong and looked for Qigong masters who could heal my illnesses, but nothing worked. I had to use hot water to wash vegetables while cooking, even in the summertime. I dared not touch any cold water. I did not feel good day in and day out. None of the treatments I got had any effect at all. I had to live with illness and could do nothing about it.

Many different illnesses plagued me. None of my organs were healthy. I took medicine all day--both Chinese medicine and Western medicine. My time had to be carefully scheduled to take various kinds of medicine, and sometimes I wasn't even able to take them in time. I also had a tonsil infection. It was not a usual infection since my tonsils got infected every week. At the beginning, it stopped after I got acupuncture treatment. But it became more and more serious later on. When it occurred, even ten intravenous drips of very powerful medicine called Xianfeng (the name of the medicine) did not work. Although a thousand yuan was spent, I did not feel any better but got even worse--to the point of not being able to produce a sound.

I was treated in both the Chinese hospitals and Western hospitals. Doctors said, "You'd better hurry up and go to a bigger hospital. Your throat seems to have an unusual illness. Try practicing Falun Gong and see what happens. How come it did not work after you took so many intravenous drips? Do you think we used fake medicine? Why was the treatment ineffective?"

b. My spiritual situation

I used to do some business in a store, like many other people. The business world is like a battlefield. People compete with each other and deceive each other every day. Everyone treats others as enemies, so every day I felt uncomfortable. With a petty mind, I disliked everyone and would fight with my colleagues at the drop of a hat. I felt wronged all the time, and I asked myself why the world was so unfair. My heart was so hurt all the time. I could not eat well or sleep well and my whole person was on edge.

2. The changes after I began practicing Falun Gong in October 1997

I was lucky, for I was able to hear the great virtuous Law that Teacher Li taught. Through my study of Falun Dafa, I understood a lot of the inner meaning of Dafa as well as the meaning of life. I understood what my life existed for. I also understood that Falun Dafa is a true cultivation way of mind and body. It requires that we be good people first, then become better and better, until becoming among the best people among everyday people. It takes us to a higher and higher level until we return to our true selves.

After I obtained Dafa, I eagerly read Teacher's books, like crops absorbing fine rain. I tried my best to follow the requirements of Teacher's books and kept studying Dafa and practicing the exercises. My body was purified and all the illnesses I had before disappeared. My mind also improved, and I didn't feel any pressure anymore. I could also take everything lightly and not allow things to disturb me. My colleagues and I were then like family members and we had a harmonious relationship. My outlook on the world changed completely. I understood why people should not do bad things, because evil will be met with evil. Many people gave me gifts at work, but I always managed to return them. I told them that I practice Falun Gong and that people who practice Falun Gong are good people. I also told them not to worry about the gift thing and that I wouldn't have any problem with it if they didn't give me gifts.

At home, I also tried to follow Teacher's requirements, respecting my parents, guiding my child, and taking care of my husband. Since all my illnesses had gone, I took care of all the housework--unlike the rumor spread by the media, that once people practice Falun Gong, they don't care about anyone or anything. I enlightened to the fact that only Falun Dafa can change people's hearts, make them kind, and restore human beings' moral standard.

Isn't it true that even the [name ommitted] Party also promoted "seek truth via facts?" Why can't it allow us to speak out about the truth? We've become better people since we've practiced Falun Dafa. Is it because of this that they want to hold those "reform classes" to change us back? Isn't it nice that more and more people want to improve themselves both mentally and physically? What laws did we break? Is becoming better people breaking the law? We just speak out about the truth of Falun Gong. How is this breaking any law?

The above is my personal experience. I truly have felt the great power of Dafa. As Teacher said, it is "the reappearance of the mighty Buddha Fa in the human world!"
