"I Want to Learn Falun Gong"

Ms. Liu, who is 58 years old, lives in the Ah district of Harbin in Heilongjiang Province of China. Three years ago she was involved in an automobile accident wherein the driver of the other automobile was seriously injured and remains in a coma to this day. Ms. Liu was also seriously injured. The accident fractured her clavicle, which was reconstructed in an operation with a steel plate. As a result of her injuries and the operation, she was unable to raise her arms for three months.

On January 5th, 2008, a relative of Ms. Liu visited her and told her how wonderful Falun Dafa is. This relative explained its health benefits. After listening to what she had to say Ms. Liu immediately expressed a desire to learn Falun Gong, so the relative started to teach her the exercises. For the first exercise, "Buddha Showing a Thousand Hands," the arms need to be raised. In the beginning, Ms. Liu could only slightly raise her arms. After trying several times, she suddenly found her self able to raise her arms to the correct position, a position which she hasn't been able to reach since her accident. She was over the moon! Her family was excited to witness this miracle of Falun Dafa.

After Ms. Liu's clavicle was broken and repaired with a steel plate, she always felt cold and numb. She worried that she would never recover. But that day she raised her arms up to such a high position, it was as if she had never suffered from the injury.

Then Ms. Liu started to make dumplings with her family, a simple task but nonetheless a task that she could no longer fulfil since the injury. She was very appreciative of her relative, but the relative said, "You do not need to thank me. You should thank the founder of Falun Dafa. Just remember that Falun Gong is a cultivation practice, which teaches people to be good according to the standard of 'Truth-Compassion-Forbearance.'"

Ms. Liu was originally a good person. Because her thoughts were righteous she was able to experience the amazing and often miraculous benefits of practising Falun Gong. Ms. Liu said over and over, "I want to learn Falun Gong now. I will not only practise myself, I will also tell people how wonderful the practice is and how I have benefited."

The relative promised Ms. Liu that she would give her the precious book of the Falun Gong teachings Zhuan Falun and would ask other practitioners to help her with the exercises. Just two days later, Ms. Liu sent a message to her relative that she wanted to immediately read the book and learn the exercises. So, the relative sent her a copy of Zhuan Falun so that she too could benefit from this amazing cultivation way.
