In early 1998, I introduced Falun Dafa to my elderly friend Ouyang Qiyan, who is over 60 years old. After reading some introductory materials, he borrowed my Dafa books. A week later, when we reunited, he joyously related to me, "Being as old as I am, even though I may not have read 'ten-thousand books' (from a Chinese adage), I must have read several thousand, yet never have I perused a book so wonderful as this one. I once had a terrible addiction to smoking, and even though I tried often to quit, I never gave up my habit of smoking a pack a day. Upon opening Zhuan Falun, my craving for cigarettes diminished greatly, and I only smoked five cigarettes that first day. On the second day, this number lessened to three cigarettes, and by the fifth day, I had given up smoking completely. Zhuan Falun is an extraordinary book!" Two weeks later, he came to me on his own accord, asking me to teach him Falun Gong.

Speaking of smoking, I was actually an even heavier smoker than my friend, and I had been smoking since my teenage years. Later, I learned of the harms of smoking and tried often to quit, only to fail every time. After practicing Falun Dafa and reading Zhuan Falun, I once lit a cigarette while reading the Sixth Lecture, took a single puff, and felt inexplicably drowsy and nauseated. I immediately realized it was Teacher aiding me in quitting my smoking addiction, and I put out the cigarette. From then on, I never smoked again, and it was thus that I effortlessly quit smoking.

A retired female worker named Liu Shuying, who is in her fifties, once developed lung cancer. Her condition was so serious that all the major hospitals said it could not be treated. She had a yellow complexion and was very thin as she waited at home for her day to die. One day, she met some fellow practitioners and me, and she asked, "What Qigong are you practicing? May I learn it?" We replied, "You are too frail. You will not be able to do the exercises, but you can read Zhuan Falun." We then provided her with a copy of Zhuan Falun, which she read three times at home. Many people who were aware of her being a late-stage cancer patient suddenly noticed one day that she had changed, and had a brighter complexion and a noticeable weight gain. They exclaimed, "Please tell us what wondrous medicines you have taken and how you have recovered so quickly!" Liu's joy could hardly be expressed in words, and she happily revealed, "Reading Zhuan Falun has cured me!" Even the doctors were thoroughly surprised when their tests failed to find any remaining traces of the cancer.

Liu was rescued from certain death. How could she not be overjoyed?

Zhuan Falun is a priceless treasure that has saved millions of lives. Zhuan Falun teaches us how to be good people, why we need be good people, and other important truths. Moreover, reading Zhuan Falun brings more good fortune than one can imagine.
