Recollections of Teacher's Lectures in Guangzhou, China

Note: The term "teacher" used in this article refers to the founder of Falun Dafa, Mr Li Hongzhi

Teacher cured my heart disease

In 1989, my store was very prosperous. Suddenly I was diagnosed with angina pectoris and fainted twice. In order to live out my life, I closed the store. On the 21st of December in 1994, I was fortunate enough to attend the 5th Fa (universal law, the teachings in Falun Dafa) Lecture Session in Guangzhou City. On the first night of the lecture, Teacher cured my heart disease. The practitioner sitting next to me said, "I have followed Teacher and have attended eight Fa lecture sessions. This is the first time I have seen Teacher treat a heart disease. You are predestined and should cultivate well." At that moment, Teacher made two hand gestures to the standing practitioners and asked them to stamp their feet. He also had the other half of the practitioners who were present stand up and stamp their feet. Teacher made another two hand gestures. I could not bring myself to believe: Has the sickness that I have endured for so many years been cured? Time flies, and it has been ten years since that lecture session.

During the persecution, the police were trying to "transform" us. They strapped heavy stones to practitioners' bodies and made them run. I was ordered to run carrying a heavy bag of soil on my back. They would beat us if we didn't run quick enough. Even after having endured all these methods of torture my heart disease has never recurred.

Teacher eased our emotions

On the night of the 28th of December in 1994, the Guangzhou Lecture Session ended. Teacher said to us, "My visa is ready." All of us knew Teacher would travel around the world to introduce Falun Gong. We did not know when we would be able to see him in the future. During the eight days of lectures, Teacher taught us the universal law and cleansed our bodies. When it was time to say goodbye, everybody felt sad. When all practitioners rose to see Teacher off, the applause was really intense. The energy field and my feelings were indescribable looking at Teacher walking towards the door. Our hearts were pumping, and tears filled our eyes. Teacher seemed to not want to leave us in dismay. He turned back and made two hand gestures to everybody. The applause slowed down, as we could not detain him anymore. Teacher then walked out of the lecture hall. I started to understand the meaning of his hand gestures. Teacher wanted to ease our emotions to help us cultivate well.
