My name is Lin Meili, I'm a Falun Gong practitioner from Singapore. I have been practising Falun Gong for five years now, which has benefited me greatly in both mind and body. Below I will talk about the changes Falun Gong has brought about in me.
Before I started to practise Falun Gong, I suffered from many illnesses, with migraine and heart disease being the most prominent. When I had a heart episode, it was very difficult to breathe. I could feel my heart stop beating and my life had come to an end. This often happened at night and it was excruciating. When my migraines would rise, it would hurt so much that I trembled all over stopping me from even being able to fall asleep. These two illnesses afflicted me for most of my life.
Since I started to practise Falun Gong on the 1st of May, 1995, I have practised the Falun Gong exercises every day. Because I had never had any schooling I was illiterate, I couldn't recognise a single word. This in turn meant that I couldn't even finish a sentence in Zhuan Falun (the core text of Falun Gong teachings), let alone understand the underlying principles embedded in the teachings of Falun Gong. Nevertheless, I made up my mind that I must be diligent in studying the Falun Gong teachings because it's the Great Law of the universe. When I studied the Fa (law or principles, the teachings of Falun Gong) at that time with fellow Falun Gong practitioners, I remembered one character after another while listening to them. It was quite amazing that I could read the entirety of Zhuan Falun after just one year. After practising Falun Gong I have benefited in both my mid and body. Not only has it given me wisdom, now I also have a very healthy body and look younger all the time. All of my past illnesses have now disappeared.
I would also like to talk about the huge changes in my husband after he started to practise Falun Gong. My husband's parents had expelled him from their home when he was a teenager because he refused to attend school, didn't listen to his parents and had become addicted to smoking and alcohol. His parents were unable to teach him. After we were married, his old habits still remained and he was also prone to gambling. He would smoke three to four packs of cigarettes a day. I tried all kinds of ways to help him get rid of those bad habits but all my efforts were in vain. He was hot-tempered and often fought with others or verbally abused them. He often shouted at me as well, so our children feared him.
After we started to practise Falun Gong, I could hardly believe how much he changed, he was a completely new person. He quickly discarded his 40-year-old smoking habit and became a kind-hearted and gentle person. Practising Falun Gong enabled him to quickly remove his bad habits. He no longer smokes, does not gamble or drink alcohol and no longer fights with others or verbally abuses them. He has really become a good father and a good husband. Our children remarked, "Father has changed. He has changed into a different person after learning Falun Gong." Our family is now harmonious thanks to Falun Gong and Master Li (respectfully referring to the founder of Falun Gong).
Since the persecution in China began, newspapers in Singapore have been reporting on the news from China. I know that Falun Gong is a righteous cultivation way. Considering the positive change in our family, how could Falun Gong not be good; Master teaches us to be good people and to maintain high moral standards. Not only that but i have also benefited from my husbands practise of Falun Gong, so I have kept on practising. I distribute literature about Falun Gong on my way to and from work so that more people may learn the truth about Falun Gong and benefit from it, like my family and I have.
