Article Review: How A New Practitioner Obtained The Fa
A new practitioner (Clearwisdom.net) I am 73 years old. Throughout my life I had always
been very healthy. I had no problem eating or sleeping until last September. At
that time I gradually began feeling uncomfortable and fatigued. Then I began
suffering from stomach pains and started eating less and less. By last December,
I could only eat porridge instead of solid food. I became weaker and weaker. My
legs were swollen. I did not see a doctor. I quickly lost weight and became so
weak that I could not even walk. As it got worse, I had to stay in bed all the
time. After my friends and family urged me to see a doctor, I went and had an
X-ray done on my stomach. The doctor said that it was stomach cancer. I had a
malignant tumor the size of an egg. The tumor grew rapidly, and I felt it moving
in my stomach every day. The doctor suggested that I go to a larger hospital
without delay. On March 11th, my second son sent me to my eldest son's home,
which is located in the capital city of the province. We went to the hospital
the very next day. Upon seeing the X-ray result, the doctor suggested to me that
I had no other choice besides surgery. The operation's cost was estimated to be
8,000 Yuan. Even so, the doctors could not guarantee that the operation would be
successful. I figured that I was too old and weak to survive the surgery. I then
decided not to have the surgery and instead go home and wait for the worst. When I was in deep desperation, my two sons persuaded me to practice Falun
Gong. I hesitated, for I did not know Falun Gong well at that time, and I had
seen all the bad propaganda on TV. My sons tried very hard to convince me and
told me many examples of how fatally ill patients got well after they practiced
Falun Gong. Eventually I changed my mind and decided to give it a try. Starting from April 15th, 2001, I listened to one of the 2-hour lecture tapes
given by Master Li in Jinan every day. The lectures lasted seven days. The first
four days I felt discomfort all over. I could not eat meat and only drank a
little milk and porridge. The last three days were even worse. I could not even
drink porridge. I threw up every time I tried to eat. I had not eaten anything
for three days and vomited yellowish liquid several times a day. It was quite
unbearable. I wanted to go home, and blamed my son for watching me suffer. My
son replied, "Master Li is purifying your body." I held on for seven
days. Though I did not eat anything during the last three days, I looked very
well and felt better. On the morning of the eighth day, I ate and felt relaxed.
On the ninth day, I went shopping with my son and had lunch at a relative's
house. I could eat like a normal person. Then we continued shopping in the
afternoon. I was not tired at all. I was shocked. How could I recover this
quickly? How miraculous Falun Gong was! I had only practiced Falun Gong for
eight days, and not only were all my diseases gone, my personality was also
changed. I was totally reborn. It is Falun Gong that saved my life and gave me a
second chance. In the lectures, Teacher Li asks us to conduct ourselves based on
"Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance". We have to be good people
and be kind to others. We always try to help others and look within ourselves
when a conflict occurs. Do not seek after fame and gain and look lightly on
profit. What a wonderful teaching our Teacher has given us! I wish more people
would get to know and practice Falun Gong. |
