By a new practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Early in the winter of 2005, a tumor appeared in my right kidney. Even though I had it surgically removed, my condition worsened day by day. In addition, I also felt pain in my left kidney. Because I worried that my left kidney would also have to be removed, I became very anxious and jittery all day long. My blood pressure shot up to 120/210 from 100/160. I could not get to sleep even after taking four sleeping pills. All the people who visited me said, "Her illness is not that devastating, but her spirit has already collapsed. She might not hold out to December." My family members and relatives were very worried. They took me to the county hospital, but I was not accepted there, and was told to go to a mental hospital instead. Later on, I went to the provincial capital. A professor at the medical center told me, after he looked at the x-rays, that the tumor had already metastasized to the bone. After I heard that, I did not say anything but made up my mind to refuse treatment because that would only mean paying a huge amount of money for a lost cause. After coming back home, I attempted suicide by trying to hang myself several times, but every time, it was foiled by my watchful family members. My sleeping pills were also apportioned under their control. Thus, I could only bear the pain and sob while waiting for death to descend.

One day, while sitting in the sun outside my front door, an elderly woman saw me in my deteriorated state, and told me to recite, "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good," so that my illness could be cured. She also told me that Master Li and Falun Gong have been unjustly framed by the Chinese Communist Party. Before she left, she gave me a Falun Dafa amulet.

I had been a lay Buddhist for many years, having been converted in a temple. Hoping to have my illness cured, I had donated several thousand yuan and goods to various temples. Because I was brainwashed by the evil Communist Party, I did not have a good impression of Falun Gong originally, but I had a little sympathy towards Falun Dafa after I heard the elderly woman's words. So I thought I would give it a try. I recited, "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good," every day. I called Master's name and knelt down to request Master to save my life quickly. The more I pursued it, the worse my illness became, and the more fearful I became of ghosts. In my small room, I had two 100-watt lamps on all the time and still needed a family member to stay with me. There were banging noises from under the bed and in the attic. Things that were nicely put away got thrown on the floor without explanation. Especially at night, strange noises and cries were heard emanating from the head of the bed nonstop. Sometimes, they even pressed down on me, used scissors to mess up my hair, or used a small razor blade to scrape my feet. As soon as I saw any ironware, I became frightened and dared not open my eyes. I often felt weak in my four limbs, had difficulty breathing, and needed help to put on my clothes or to eat.

I wondered if this was happening because the Bodhisattva in the temple did not want me to learn Dafa, or that I did not have predestined relationship with Dafa. Thus, I called the elderly woman and told her that I would return the amulet to her. The elderly woman brought another Dafa practitioner to see me. After inquiring about the situation, he said: "I think the reason for your illness and the interference from other dimensions are: One, factors from your previous lives -- possibly you had killed somebody, and these ghosts still bear grudges. Two, factors from the present life; you pursued this and worshiped that in temples all over. Nowadays, the temples are no longer clean, and you are only asking for trouble by going to them! Certainly, our Master can resolve all these, but you must be single-minded, wholehearted, and obtain naturally without pursuing. Although you recited, 'Falun Dafa is good,' your heart was not in it. Master said: 'If you cannot relinquish the attachment or concern for illness, we cannot do anything and will be unable to help you.' (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun) If you cannot set aside those so-called masters you worshiped and pursued before, our Master cannot take care of you even if he wants to." After hearing what he said, I felt it made sense and it gave me hope.

After they left, I asked someone to get rid of the Buddha statue (only then did I realize that it actually was not consecrated and had spirit possession). Then, I made the decision to follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and asked Master to strengthen my resolve.

The next day, I felt feverish. When I went to sleep in the evening, I was boiling hot, but my temperature was normal according to the thermometer. At that time, I did not know that Master had already formally started to take care of me and had been purifying my body. Next, the pain in my left kidney disappeared, and so did the headache I had for decades. My nervousness was also much improved, and I was able to sleep right through to dawn. Especially noticeable was the absence of the numerous cries and disturbing noises in my room. I am no longer fearful of sleeping by myself and with the lights out. This is a miracle that I could not have imagined possible before!

Two days later, I received a copy of Zhuan Falun that a fellow practitioner sent to me. When I opened the book and saw Master's picture, tears streamed down my face and I regretted that I obtained Dafa so late! However, I was gratified that I finally found Dafa! At the point in my life when I had lost all hope, coinciding with the end of the havoc period for humankind, Master gave me a second life and even gave me a glorious future!

The above is my personal experience over the last two years. It does not contain even a shade of fiction. The words come from the bottom of my heart without exaggeration. Teacher Li is such a good and righteous Master, and Falun Gong is such a good and righteous Dafa, yet in the last eight years in China, it has been relentlessly framed and persecuted by a despotic regime. Heaven's principles will not allow it! Dear friends, I want to tell you that understanding the truth is predestined, and regarding Dafa positively is a blessing!

Heshi!
