By a new Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom Net) I am a new Falun Dafa practitioner and a resident of the Yichun Area in Heilongjiang Province. I obtained Dafa in March 2005. It is Master and Dafa that saved my life. The following is my story.

I got sick after the 2004 Chinese New Year. I couldn't eat or sleep, I felt dizzy all the time, and I didn't have the strength to raise my arms or legs. I went to the district hospital and the doctors there suspected that I had leukemia. Worried about my condition, my family sent me to a large hospital in the city for a second opinion. I was diagnosed as having late stage uremia. My family didn't believe it and sent me to the provincial hospital for another opinion. We got the same diagnosis. All my family members were heart-broken. My children and their friends consulted a few famous hospitals in China via the Internet. They were told that, since the disease was at such an advanced stage, there was nothing anyone could do for me, and that the only option was to live on a day to day basis.

I started to take medication and get a daily injection. From March 2004 to March 2005, I was hospitalized three times and spent 60,000 yuan, but I continued to get worse. The creatinine in my urine (a measure of kidney function; the normal range is between 88 and 176) went from 580 to 700. I couldn't urinate, which led to swelling in my entire body, I had difficulty breathing, and I couldn't eat. From December 29 to January 7 I didn't eat or drink for nine days, and my weight went from 66 kg to 40 kg. I was kept alive by an IV drip, and I was miserable.

I am an extroverted and strong person. I felt very bad when I saw that my family members were exhausted because of me, and I thought about suicide. But when I thought about my 90-year-old mother, my husband who had had a cerebral hemorrhage, and my children, I couldn't do it. I was in tears all the time. My family members prepared my funeral clothes when they noticed that my condition was deteriorating daily.

On March 16th of this year, I thought about a 64-year-old Dafa practitioner. I thought, "What happened to him? He is healthy with nice a complexion, and his skin is fine and youthful." I wanted to ask him. He showed up at my door the day after I had thought about him. My husband asked him to use his gong to cure my problem. He said, "I will be back in a few minutes," and left.

Ten minutes later he was back with Master's lectures and exercise tapes. He said to me, "Sister, now only Dafa can save you. As long as you believe in Dafa, Master can save you." I told him that I was near death and that I believed in Master and Dafa whether or not my disease was cured.

He began to play the tape of Master's lecture. I loved to listen to it. Then he taught me the exercises. My family believed that I was too weak to do the exercises, but I insisted on learning them. I had been in bed for the previous few months, but I practiced the Dafa exercises for more than half an hour. I didn't know where the strength came from. After the exercises I urinated. I even ate half-a-cup of millet soup. My entire family was stunned when they witnessed this incredible, but real, scenario. My son said, emotionally, "Mom, you could be saved now! Falun Gong is incredible. Why don't you start to practice today? We all will support you."

From that moment on, I studied Master's lectures enthusiastically, read at least two chapters of Zhuan Falun everyday, practiced the moving exercises twice a day, and did the sitting exercise three times a day. I sent forth righteous thoughts more than 10 times a day. I did this for 24 hours a day without stopping, and my body and heart were assimilated to the Fa. I was not tired or sleepy, even if I didn't sleep for a few days. Master then purified my body. It felt like there were numerous bugs and worms all over my body, and I was extremely itchy. This lasted for more than a month. I then lost a layer of skin, and my skin color changed from dark violet to healthy white.

After 20 days of practicing, I was able to visit my neighbors, and my food intake became normal. I could even cook and perform some light housework. My neighbors praised the miracle of Dafa. My family members and friends admired Dafa from the bottom of their hearts, and they encouraged me to practice diligently. My husband began to read Dafa books. Under Dafa's guidance and Master's eyes, my health improved daily, and my family began to laugh again.

Dafa is my entire life. No matter what difficulties I have in the future, I will assimilate to the Fa resolutely and courageously, validate the Fa with my actions, and be a Dafa practitioner.
