Studying the Fa and Cultivating the Heart - Breast Cancer Disappears

(Clearwisdom.net -- March 29, 2004)

I am Qiong Qi, a Falun Gong practitioner in Taiwan. Just before the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2001, a Falun Gong practitioner, Mr. Zhang, introduced me to Falun Dafa. He gave me great encouragement and assistance. At first, he gave me a copy of the book Zhuan Falun to read. I did not realize it was anything special at first. I had been studying Buddhism for over 10 years and had not found the answers I was looking for. As a result, I did not have much confidence in reading more about what I thought was Buddhism. A few days later, he again talked to me about Falun Dafa and invited me to their practice site to observe the exercises. After going there for a few days, I decided to do the exercises with them.

Before I started practicing, I had breast cancer. I had an extensive operation for 6 hours at the Changgen Hospital. Like other cancer patients, I had chemotherapy. I had a schedule of nine treatments. After each treatment, when I washed my hair, it would come out in handfuls. I felt sick and I was afraid. Before the operation, I bravely told my children not to worry, and that Bodhisattva would protect me and ensure my safety. However, I cried for days after I became bald. Such emotional displays were hard for others to understand. Later, I tried to comfort myself that I should not become discouraged and I should be strong. At the time, I had been working in a charity organization for almost 8 years and had focused my life on helping other people with their hardships. I had been to the hospital often to visit patients. However, only when it happened to me, could I truly understand the process of life, aging, disease and death. I remember that during the 3^rd and 4^th chemo treatments, I decided to go to the park to participate in the Falun Gong exercises. I did this because I knew that the chemotherapy was very toxic and could compromise my health.

On the second day of practicing, when I was doing the 3^rd exercise, I saw Teacher's law body. Teacher's law body came down from the heavens, sitting in a meditation position. I was so very happy as I continued the exercises. Later, I saw Teacher's photo when I attended the nine-day seminar to learn the Fa and the exercises. I cried. Teacher's photo looked exactly the same as the law body I had seen before.

When I arrived home, I started to read Zhuan Falun. The first time I read it, I did not pay much attention. When I read it the second time, I discovered on page 19, that mankind has a pre-historic culture dating back millions of years. Teacher said, "Under the water of many oceans, however, some tall and large ancient architecture has been discovered. These buildings were crafted very beautifully and are not the cultural heritage of our modern humankind." Upon reading that page, I suddenly remembered I had seen the same scene when I was 18 yeas old, which deeply impressed me.

On page 3, it reads, "Ordinary human affairs, according to the Buddha School, all have predestined relationships. Birth, old age, illness, and death exist as such for ordinary people. Due to karma resulting from past wrongdoing, one has illnesses or tribulations; suffering is repaying a karmic debt..." I looked back at the past. My house, valued at about 10 million Taiwan dollars, was fraudulently taken from me by a friend and I then developed fatal diseases. All these experiences were very hard to deal with. I felt I was in such pain, bitterness, exhaustion, and depression. However, the answer I was looking for all this time was found in Zhuan Falun. Now, I truly understood why people experience hardships and diseases. On page 285, we are told, "If something is yours, you will not lose it. If something is not yours, you will not have it even if you fight for it."

Thanks to Teacher's benevolence, my body was purified and the cancer cells were all neutralized, which was later confirmed by the hospital in follow-up exams. In China, there are one hundred million people like me who have good physical health and understand the principles of the Fa. We practitioners are good people who cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Unfortunately, in China, Falun Dafa and its practitioners are being persecuted and oppressed. Some have even lost their lives. Many kind-hearted people have been deceived by the lies from the government-controlled media in China. People in over 60 countries are studying Falun Dafa and they all know it is good. It is our hope that the Chinese leader will stop persecuting Falun Gong. Isn't it valuable to society to have more good people? It is a heavenly principle that good is rewarded with good and evil is met with evil. Stop persecuting these good Falun Gong practitioners!
