A Splendid Scene: Group Practice Site in a New Practitioner's Yard
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) I am a new Falun Dafa practitioner in Hebei Province. I
want to tell you some of the true stories that happened to me, to my relatives,
friends and co-workers. My mother-in-law is a practitioner who has practiced Falun Gong for a long
time. Because her eyesight is not so good, she asked me to read Zhuan Falun
(1) to her whenever there was an opportunity. Because of reading to her, I knew
that Falun Dafa is a great practice. However, I was very busy at that time, so I
did not practice Falun Dafa myself. A co-worker at my work unit had a serious skin problem and had gone to many
big hospitals seeking treatment, but she had gotten no improvement. In order to
treat her disease, she had to shave her hair and her husband wanted to divorce
her. She was devastated. Later on she started to practice Falun Dafa and her
skin disease was completely cured. She and her husband got on well again, like
before, and she was once again happy. When the evil forces began to suppress Falun Dafa and persecute practitioners
in 1999, there were all kinds of rumors and slander in the newspapers and
televisions every day. Work units in China read the newspapers every day and
conveyed the documents from higher authorities. Practitioners were monitored,
and Falun Dafa books and tapes were confiscated. All of a sudden people were
discussing and following the TV messages, saying bad things about Falun Dafa. I
had more or less read the Dafa books and heard my mother-in-law always saying
that Dafa is for cultivating people's xinxing (2) and following
"Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" to become a better person. I saw that the
book says that cultivators can't participate politics, are not allowed to take
any life, let alone commit suicide. So, I never believed what the TV and
newspapers said. When people were arguing, saying that Falun Dafa was not good,
I would speak up and disagree with them. I told them what I read from the book.
At home, when the TV showed the propaganda against Falun Gong, I would change
the channel or turn the TV off. My brother died suddenly two years ago. At the beginning of last year my
sister-in-law found out that she had uremia. The hospital diagnosed it as late
stage uremia. She came home from the hospital and her spirit completely
collapsed. One night I suddenly thought about Falun Gong and called my
sister-in-law at dawn, and I suggested that she practice Falun Gong as soon as
possible. She said over the phone, "I will take your advice, and I will
seriously practice Falun Gong." After only about four days of practicing, she could sit up by herself and she
was in much better spirits. About ten days later, her arm bled one night in the
middle of the night and completely soaked the bedding. There was also blood on
half of the floor. Her son was so frightened that he trembled uncontrollably.
Because it was the middle of the night, people found a relative of a doctor in a
Chinese Medicine hospital to handle this condition. Everyone agreed that my
sister-in-law needed a blood transfusion since she had anemia on top of the
uremia. So she had a blood test to determine her hemoglobin level and they found
that it was normal. Everybody felt this was strange and suspected that it was a
wrong reading. However, the result of the second test was still normal, so my
sister-in-law went home. She didn't feel uncomfortable, either. Two months later, my sister-in-law's illness was almost cured. She could once
again do housework, including the cooking. She studied the teachings of Falun
Dafa and practiced the exercises every day. The changes in her made it so clear
to her family members that it was Falun Dafa that saved her life. All the
neighbors also witnessed that a person close to death had gotten well by
practicing Falun Dafa. So several other people who were ill came to her place to
learn Falun Gong. Now, her big yard is a practice site. Every morning for two hours, more than
20 people stand in rows and practice the exercises, accompanied by the exercise
music. The scene is both serene and magnificent. They met every day and the
group was still growing. People from the surrounding area have all come to know
that Falun Dafa is great. This event shook me a great deal. Falun Dafa is so vast and mysterious. My
mother-in-law said I could read the Dafa books if I have time, and she gave me
two books. It was surprising that this time I could not put down Zhuan Falun
once I started reading. I felt regret that I hadn't read this book with my heart
earlier. When I finished the entire book, I regretted it even more and felt that
I was very fortunate to obtain it now. Whenever I think of Teacher, who has made great efforts and sacrifices to
save people, my tears fall uncontrollably. Although I am only a beginner in the
cultivation of Falun Dafa, I will learn from other practitioners and share the
truth with my co-workers and friends, to help them attain Dafa. Notes (2) xinxing: mind-heart nature, moral character.
