Professor Fan No Longer Suffers from Depression
Written by a Dafa practitioner from Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) Professor Fan teaches at a technical institute in
Taiwan. From the time when he was a student in college, he had suffered from
painful bouts of depression. For the last twenty years, he was a student in a
certain school of practice. For eight to nine years, he had accepted treatments
from the body and mind section of that school and took medicine. When his
illness came on strong, the most difficult thing to endure was a tight feeling
on the left side of his face. The tightness caused pain that spread over his
entire face and eventually enveloped his whole head in pain, causing him serious
sleep loss and worsening his already low mood. At the most critical moment, when
he was preparing to resign from the university faculty and was seriously
contemplating suicide, Professor Fan was fortunate to encounter Falun Dafa. On the third day of last Chinese New Year, Professor Fan's colleague
recommended him to me and sought my assistance as a counselor. However, I knew
well the limitations of counseling and mental healing. Even though he took the
best medicine currently available in treating depression, combined with
counseling, it was hard to say if that would completely cure his stubborn
depression. However, I had witnessed many patients who were entangled by
melancholia and manic depression for many years, who had been able to walk out
of the valley of death and experience a rebirth because they began practicing
Falun Dafa. After talking for about one hour, two Dafa practitioners and I introduced
Falun Dafa to Professor Fan. We invited him to attend the next nine-day seminar.
A miraculous change began from this moment. Two new Dafa practitioners, Professor Fan and Mrs. Fan, respectfully listened
to Master Li Hongzhi's lectures. Prior to this, Professor Fan also disposed of
several hundred volumes of books from other schools of practice. When listening to Master Li's lectures, Professor Fan was anxious and it was
difficult for him to be tranquil. At the end of the first lecture, two Dafa
practitioners saw he was suffering, and so they decided to accompany the couple
home. After the Dafa practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts, Professor Fan
suddenly calmed down and immediately told them of the strange scene he saw. He
said, "In the front, there hangs layer upon layer of waterfalls. A
middle-aged man sits on a big stone beside a brook. Two eyes are staring at him
wickedly. The strange thing is that the left side of the man's mouth is
bleeding." Professor Fan then said, "Dafa's Master appears and goes
toward the man and mercifully holds his hand and seems to speak to him."
After a while, Professor Fan added, "Later on, Master left and the picture
disappeared!" The wonder was that the tight feeling in Professor Fan's left cheek was wiped
out at once. After one week of straight sleep loss, he had a calm and continuous
sleep that evening. On the second day, he cheerfully drove his car with his wife
to visit his grandmother. His sister-in-law witnessed this. It was very
difficult for her to imagine how her brother-in-law, who had been weak and weary
because of his illness the day before, had unexpectedly become like a new person
after one night. Witnessing this miracle also helped to bring his elder
sister-in-law, younger sister-in-law, and his wife's parents to practice Falun
Dafa later on. Professor Fan witnessed Dafa's wonder. At present, he continues to teach, and
has enlightened that the man he saw bleeding from the left corner of the mouth
had a direct relationship with the tightness he used to have in the left side of
his own face. February 13, 2007 |
