(Clearwisdom.net) I am 57 years old, from Hubei Province and I obtained Dafa on May 23, 2007. I have the predestined relationship to become a Dafa disciple in this lifetime and it is my greatest happiness. Master is compassionate and he saved me from tribulations. I cannot express my gratefulness for Master's grace and kindness with any language. My education level is limited, but I want to try my best to truthfully write down the miracles that Dafa has created in me so that the world's people can understand that Falun Dafa is good and can understand that believing in Dafa will bring them good fortune.

Before I obtained Dafa, I had dozens of diseases from my head to my toes. When I was five years old, one serious disease almost killed me. When I was in my 20's, I had serious headaches, dizziness, insomnia, hypoglycemia, and other problems. When my hypoglycemia broke out, I lost consciousness. During this time, I started to take painkillers. In 1983, I had a gastroscopy and I was found to have atrophy of the intestines. I often could not eat steamed rice and could only eat gruel and noodles. When I was in my 40's, I had bone proliferation in my cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra. My lower back was so painful that I lay in my bed for over a month. I had an electrocardiogram, and I was found to have tachycardia. When my disease broke out, my heartbeat could be as fast as over 100 times per minute. In 2005, my fingers started to feel painful and stiff, and I had a blood test and was found to have rheumatoid arthritis. My hands could not touch any cold water. My arms were painful, numb, aching and swollen. I often could not fall sleep as my arms were so painfully swollen. I could only remember feeling pain and suffering.

I also had hypertension, constipation and foot pain, among other problems. In order to cure the diseases, I spent tens of thousands of yuan but my health didn't improve at all. Over the past few decades, I have been suffering from disease and pain, and my life was even more miserable than death. I thought about committing suicide many times.

May 23, 2007 was a date I will never forget for the rest of my life. This was the date I gained a new life. Master was so compassionate that he saved me from these tribulations. Before I obtained Dafa, I always complained that my life was so miserable. Now after studying Dafa, I understood that I had karma and I should not resent anyone. Master Li said,

"Cultivation practice is the only way to find yourself comfortably free of illness and to accomplish the goal of being truly free! Only by having people practice a righteous way can there be true salvation of all beings. " (Zhuan Falun)

From then on, I firmly started my path of cultivation. No matter how much interference I encountered, I studied the Fa attentively and tempered myself. I now firmly follow Master on the path home and will allow Master to arrange the most compassionate way for me.

One of the most amazing things that happened to me after beginning to practice was that the first day after I started to practice, when I went to sleep in the evening, my arms, which had been painfully swollen for several years, stopped feeling painful and swollen. That uncomfortable feeling suddenly disappeared. After I practiced for some time, my headache, which had lasted for several decades, disappeared also.

In the evening of June 17, 2007, my cervical vertebra suddenly felt a very sharp pain and I could not get up the next day. I could only slowly get up if someone held my head. At that time, my family all asked me to go to hospital or have a massage, but I insisted I would not go. In the morning, they all went to work and I lay on the bed by myself. I wanted to go to the toilet, but when I tried to stand up, I could not get up even after a few attempts. At this time, I remembered Master and I silently thought, "Master, please give me a hand and help me get up." Immediately after that thought, when I tried to get up again, I could get up easily. At that time, I felt deep appreciation and really understood the miracle of Dafa. In this way, every time I tried to get up, as long as I quietly called upon Master in my mind, I could easily get up. For a few times, I tried not to call Master and get up by myself, but I could not get up no matter how I tried. At noontime, when my family came back home, I sat on the sofa and suddenly felt two Faluns rotating behind my ears and I felt as if I were being drilled by a drill. This feeling lasted for over 10 minutes and I could hardly bear it. I was soaked in perspiration and my eyes became dark and it felt like my heart was grabbed away. I clenched my teeth and withstood it, as I knew this was helping me eliminate karma. I knew I had too much karma and Master had expended so much effort to help me eliminate karma. I felt deeply happy.

I realized that pain was one way to eliminate karma. The more the karma, the sharper the pain. The problems with my cervical vertebra had tortured me for over 10 years, and now Master was helping me eliminate karma and pull out the karma from the root. It was normal to feel pain and I think such pain is a kind of happy pain, which is totally different from everyday people's pain and disease. I had only practiced for over 20 days, and Master started to help me eliminate karma so quickly. At that time, I really didn't know how to thank Master Li. After some time, the pain in my cervical vertebra completely disappeared.

In addition, I have been tortured by insomnia for several decades. Now, however, I fall asleep as soon as I lie down in bed. All the pain in my back, legs, as well as stomachache and headache and tachycardia, etc., they have all disappeared. The best benefit is that I don't have to take any medicine now and I have never felt so at ease in my life. When my acquaintances saw me, they all asked me what nutritional supplements I have taken and they wondered how I could have become so well (I used to have a sallow and swollen face and also had dark bags under my eyes). I cheerfully answered, "I am practicing Falun Gong and Master has saved me."

At first, my family all opposed my practice of Falun Gong, but now the miracle of Dafa has made them all change their original opinion and they all support my practicing Falun Gong. Some of them have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its related organizations. Especially, my second younger sister didn't believe in the power of Dafa. However, late one evening this February, her granddaughter suddenly had a fever but as it was so late at night, she could not take her to see a doctor. She was so worried and didn't know what to do. Then she suddenly remembered my words: "Sincerely recite 'Falun Dafa is good,' and your life can be saved in times of tribulation," so she sincerely recited, "Falun Dafa is good and Truth-Compassion-Tolerance is good" in her mind. Right then, a miracle happened and her granddaughter's fever disappeared. My sister deeply appreciated Falun Dafa and her whole family withdrew from the CCP.

Although I know that I still have a lot of attachments to give up, I will not forget that I am a cultivator and I will require myself to live according to Dafa. I want to use my personal experience to tell people: Dafa's Master is compassionate, Falun Dafa is good and Truth-Compassion-Tolerance is good. Believing in Dafa will bring you good fortune.
