Farmwife Recovers Health After Practicing Falun Dafa And Is Now Active in Fa-Rectification
By a Dafa practitioner in Mainland China
(Clearwisdom.net) I am a 57 year-old farmwife. Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, I had
illness all over my body: migraine, tinnitus, cerebral arteriosclerosis, sore throat, cervical
vertebra problem, coronary heart disease, and a ruptured lumbar vertebra disk. The back trouble was
what tortured me the most. When it was serious, I could not even pull my pants on. Going to bathroom
was a serious problem for me. I could not stand back up if I squatted down. I had to eat lying down
on my stomach. It was very painful. I took all kinds of medicine, spent a lot of money, and tried
various treatments, but still had no relief. Finally, a practitioner introduced me to Falun Dafa and
told me that others with more serious illnesses than I were healed after they start to practice Dafa. With a curious mind I came to the Falun Gong practice site. Everybody was practicing the fifth
exercise -- the sitting meditation. My legs were very stiff and painful. No matter what I did, I
could not pull my legs into the lotus position. I was anxious and did not know what to do. A
practitioner looked up at Teacher Li's picture and gestured to me. I understood, putting my hands in
the heshi* position, and asked Teacher Li to strengthen me. At the same time I told
myself that if others could do it, I should be able to do it. I pulled my right leg into position,
then told myself that I could do it again, and pulled my left leg into position. I sat in the lotus
position and meditated for 20 minutes bearing sharp pain in my legs. The next day I was able to lie easily on my bed. Since then, I started to truly cultivate Dafa.
Those of us with serious illness have had huge changes in our bodies and minds since we started
cultivation. All kinds of illnesses disappeared. I could stand and walk with my body upright. All
these were signs for all to see that "Falun Dafa is good." Seeing the changes in us, many
other people joined us in practicing Falun Gong. We read the Fa at night and did the exercises in
the morning. We raised our Xinxing (heart/mind nature, moral quality). For instance fellow Dafa
practitioners found two lost cell phones, each worth a few thousand Yuan. We found the owners
through the post office and returned them. We have been absorbed in the broad and profound
principles of Dafa. We read the Fa, practice the exercises and introduce Dafa to others. July 20th of the next year (1999), the evil started to persecute Dafa and Teacher. As a human
being, one needs to have a conscience. As a Dafa practitioner, we know right and wrong. I wanted to
say something to defend Dafa and Teacher. Two fellow practitioners and I got on a train to Beijing,
but we were detained and sent back from the halfway point. Evil people were all over the place.
Every crossroad had many policemen questioning people who wanted to board trains for anywhere. In January of 2000, a male practitioner and I went to Beijing again. A Beijing policeman asked us
what we were doing. I told him that we came here out of goodwill to tell our personal experiences to
our central government leaders, that Falun Dafa is a righteous way, and to ask them to publicly
restore Teacher Li's good reputation. I was kidnapped for saying this. When the township police
station transported us back, they forced us to squat down facing a wall. They stomped hard on our
backs. Several times we were kicked down to the ground. They grabbed our hair and pulled us back to
a squatting position, and stomped on us again. Then they forced us to take off our clothes and
handcuffed us to trees by the police station entrance, facing people walking by. The next day, my two daughters came to visit. They cried. I grew up in the midst of praise, and
had never been insulted like this, so I was very concerned about how others looked at me. I knew
that I should not cry, especially in front of the evil. As a disciple of Teacher Li, a Dafa
practitioner should not cry. One of my daughters told me that she knew a policeman. She would find
him and ask him not to handcuff me. I cried and shouted to her, "Don't ask them. I did nothing
wrong. I didn't steal anything. I didn't rob from anyone. I learn the Fa and how to be a good
person. Practicing Falun Gong brought me good health. I have no back pain anymore. I have no leg
pain anymore. I did not do anything wrong!" People passing by stopped and looked at me, there
was a young man from our village passing by, and he walked to the policeman and told him: "This
woman had severe back pain and leg pain. After practicing Falun Gong, she was healed. Don't treat
her this way!" An elderly woman walked to me and asked me what this was for. I told her that it
was because I practiced Falun Gong. She said there is nothing to be embarrassed about! When I heard
her kind words, I felt great! The evening of Chinese New Year's day, the head of the police station called me. I told him,
"There is nothing wrong with Teacher teaching us to be better people. We practice Falun Gong
and have good health. There is nothing wrong with that, either." He asked me if I had done
anything the past several days. He meant if I had gone out and distributed any truth-clarifying
flyers. I told him that I always go out to do something every day. If a human being stops doing
things, he is finished. We took any chance to explain the truth. We explained the truth when we were
in the markets, when we went to the barber's shop, when we were grinding grain, and so on. We
explained the truth to anybody we ran into. Our effort brought encouraging results. Many people
learned the truth about Dafa, and they learned that Dafa is good! They greeted us with a smile when
they saw us distributing Dafa material. On market days, they read Dafa material openly without any
fear as soon as they got the material from us. Looking at the lives being saved, we felt as if we
finished an important task. The secretaries of the Party branch committees of quite a few villages said: Who would disagree
with "Falun Gong is good"? When it is time to collect any tax money in the village, Falun
Gong practitioners are always the first to pay the money. If everybody behaved as Falun Gong
practitioners do, as the village cadres, we would have it alot easier. In the winter of this year,
our village was collecting for the agriculture tax again. Three or four of our fellow practitioners
went to the brigade office to pay the tax first, and when we explained the truth to the members of
the office, they said: We know that you all are good people. Falun Dafa is good. We smiled from the
bottom of our heart. Teacher Li said in "Also in a Few Words (Essentials for Further Advancement II) "Indestructible righteous faith in the cosmos's Truth forms benevolent Dafa disciples'
rock-solid, diamond-like Bodies, it frightens all evil, and the light of Truth it emanates makes the
unrighteous elements in all beings' thoughts disintegrate. However strong the righteous thoughts
are, that's how great the power is." *
