(Clearwisdom.net) Every true practitioner experiences miracles during his or her cultivation. I am one of them. My faith in Teacher and the Fa will never waver.

Feeling a strong energy when I see Teacher's picture

February 29, 1996 is a day I will never forget. I went to see a relative, who was holding a book respectfully, and said to me, “Please look at this book.” I took it and turned the pages. The first thing that caught my eye was Teacher's picture. Teacher looked familiar and was somehow close to me. I felt engulfed in a very positive, strong energy. It was a feeling that I have never experienced and can't describe.

When I sat down on the couch, I could feel cool air moving upwards, from my lower back to the top of my head. At the same time, my forehead felt as if a stick, the size of my finger, was drilling into my head.

I realize that Falun Gong is no ordinary qigong, and decided to stop doing other qigong practices I had learned, and instead became a Falun Gong practitioner. That evening, I bought the book Zhuan Falun, and went to the park the following morning to join in the group exercises.

No matter how harsh the environment or how great the pressure got, I never wavered in my faith in Teacher and Dafa for over ten years, and have continued to study the Fa and do the exercises.

No longer the “hunchback”

I had surgery twenty years ago because I had tuberculosis on my lower spine. They cut out one of my ribs and sixteen pieces from my other ribs. I was left with severe abnormalities. I had excruciating back pain and had to constantly bend my back. Over time, I developed a hunched back. When I walked, I had to extend my arms to balance myself to avoid falling over.

At the time, few people knew my real name, but everyone knew about the “hunchback.” I also had a number of illnesses, and even though I had studied many different kinds of qigong, none of them seemed to help. Within one year of practicing Falun Gong the pain in my back disappeared and my back began to straighten. People who know me were amazed. I told them that it was because I practice Falun Gong. Several people began practicing as a result of seeing the miracle that I experienced.

Teacher purified my body and gave me a second chance in life

When I had finished giving a bath to my grandson one time, I stood up and my head started spinning. I felt dizzy and my stomach was churning. I passed my grandson to my daughter-in-law and held on to the wall. I struggled to walk to the bathroom, where I vomited and had diarrhea for about an hour. I was shivering and went to bed. Five minutes later, I felt sick again. After I took a couple of steps, I felt as if my liver was being torn apart. It was very painful and I was sweating all over. I realized that Teacher was cleansing the illness in my liver.

I said to Teacher in my mind, “Master, I can take it.” After a short while, I felt better than I ever had. It was a feeling that I had never experienced. I went to bed and slept very well. The next morning, I went to the bathroom and more dirty things passed. After that, my liver was no longer in pain. I'm certain that if Teacher had not saved me, I think I would have died from liver disease. It was Teacher who gave me a second chance in life.

One person practices -- the entire family benefits

In the first month of the lunar calendar in 1998, my daughter-in-law was making rice in the kitchen, while I was dressing my grandson. All of a sudden we heard a loud noise, followed by the sound of breaking glass and screaming from the kitchen.

I looked up and saw the kitchen filled with steam. I ran into the kitchen and saw my daughter-in-law holding her hands under the cold water tap. The pressure cooker had exploded. The lid been thrown off with such force that it pierced a hole in the fridge, and the air valve flew out of the window. Her face was covered in rice. I took her to the living room and sat her down. Surprisingly, she was not burnt or hurt at all. My entire family witnessed this and now believe that being supportive of Falun Dafa will bring them a bright future.

My second son is not a practitioner, but is very supportive of the practice. Teacher protects him everywhere he goes. He was riding a motorcycle once, when a truck was speeding towards him. He could not do anything and his passenger was holding him tightly. Then his hands were pulled from the handlebars. The motorcycle was thrown to the side, and both were thrown to the ground. Their clothes were torn, but neither of them were injured. Had it not been for Teacher's protection, they would not have survived.
