A New Practitioner in China: "Falun Gong Has Taken Root in My Heart"
(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Gong practitioner in China. I was
fortunate to get the chance to begin practicing Falun Gong about a year ago.
Although I have practiced only for a short period of time, I feel that I have
benefited tremendously. My health had never been good since birth. I was anemic and calcium
deficient. I didn't start walking until the age of six. Later I suffered from
lower back pain, spine problems, numbness in my arms, dizziness, and pains in my
left shoulder, knee and heel. I could not do heavy work at all. My heart was not
in a good condition either. I frequently felt my heart beat very quickly. I was
unable to sleep soundly at night as my whole body was full of illnesses. Both my husband and I had been demoted and we went into financial
difficulties. At that time I was really worried. I felt that life was
meaningless. Whenever I met with conflicts, I would become angry. It was as
though the whole world had let me down and I could not tolerate anyone. At this point I was full of despair towards life. My relatives
clarified the truth of Falun Gong to me numerous times during the
Lunar Chinese New Year in 2004. They said that Falun Gong teaches people to
become better people and aspire towards goodness. The principles of
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" guide them in their cultivation.
They also said that Falun Gong is being framed and explained to me, "Why do
so many people persist in practicing Falun Gong despite the Jiang regime's
vicious persecution? Because Falun Gong is good!" My relative taught me some of the movements of the exercises and also gave me
the book Zhuan Falun. Upon returning home, I started to read the book eagerly. After reading it
once, I continued to read it for the second time, then the third time. I have now read the book sixty times already. I did not find any of those
things that were shown on television about Falun Gong such the self-immolation,
beating up or scolding people. I found no such thing. In contrast, Falun Gong
practitioners cannot kill. Killing doesn't just generate a serious amount of
karma, it also has to do with the question of compassion. All of us have jobs,
and we should do our jobs well; and we must be good people wherever we are. I felt that this book is really very good. At that moment I wanted to learn
the Falun Gong exercises. My relative thus came to teach me. Very quickly I
learned the five sets of exercises. Every day, I persist in studying the Fa
and doing the Falun Gong exercises. Whenever I meet with conflicts, I look into
myself for the reason. In this way, I gradually recovered from my illnesses. My
complexion and skin color also look better. Currently I help my husband deliver newspapers. After running up and down 7
to 8 stories, I don't feel tiredness in my legs at all. I also have better
memory. I am more spirited and I face life full of confidence. It is the
compassionate and merciful Master who has saved me and helped me understand the
meaning of life. I regret not having the chance to cultivate Falun Gong earlier.
In April 1999, my husband brought two of the Falun Gong books from his
relative's house. One of them was Zhuan Falun. At that time, even before
I could have the chance to fully understand this book, the framing and
slandering of Falun Gong had begun. At that time, I was confused. On the second
year, when I was packing things, I tucked these two precious books amongst other
books and asked my child to sell them. That was the biggest mistake of my life.
Whenever I think of it, I feel great remorse. If it was not so, I would have
started cultivating Falun Gong in 1999. The persecution by Jiang's regime
delayed my cultivation of Falun Gong for many years. Now, whenever I see the Falun Gong truth clarifying materials on the floor, I
pick them up. After reading them myself, I give them to relatives, friends and
neighbors. I also clarify the truth about Falun Gong to them. My husband also
picks up the truth clarifying materials and puts them into mailboxes for people
to read. I have great enthusiasm for reading Falun Gong books and have read them many
times. While walking I recite Lunyu and "Hongyin."
Falun Gong has taken root in my heart. I want to continually upgrade my heart
nature and do well the three things Master has asked us to and be
diligent until Consummation. April 20, 2005 Posting date: 5/2/2005 |
