Practising Falun Dafa Gave Me a New Life

I am from Yongqing County, Langfang City, Hebei Province of China, As of 2005, I am 71 years old. I was once diagnosed with a cardiac disease and suffered with it for 12 years. During that time I visited all kinds of hospitals in the country and spent countless sums of money, but to no avail. I lost all hope in the hospitals.

I couldn't stand the sickness torturing me anymore, so I went to seek help from qigong ('Qi' can be translated as 'energy' and 'gong' can be translated to 'cultivation practice'. Thus this term refers to practices that cultivate 'qi' or 'vital energy'). People introduced me to all kinds of meditation practices, as well as Falun Gong. At that time I was fooled by Jiang Zemin's regime's lies and didn't believe in Falun Gong, so I began a Buddhist practice. For 6 years I spent all my effort in that practice. Not only did it not solve my problems, but I was then diagnosed with cerebral thrombosis (a blood clot in a cerebral artery or vein), and my body was degenerating day by day. I couldn't take care of myself and there was nowhere to ask for help. In April of this year I struggled to move myself to the front door, and then a dog bit me on my shoulder. I was crying and in pain. It was worse than death.

When I was in desperation, my daughter came to visit me from Wuqing. She is a Falun Dafa practitioner. Seeing my condition, we hugged and cried together. She suggested that I let go of all my attachments and said that only Falun Dafa could save me.

With nowhere to turn, I listened to her. She patiently explained the principles of Falun Dafa. I understood that Falun Dafa teaches the principles of the universe and can bring salvation to all sentient beings. A good future will come to us only if we practise the highest universal principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance."

When I understood the truth of Falun Dafa and the principles, my body slowly recovered. Since April until now, over 5 months, my cardiac disease and cerebral thrombus have all healed. Now I am free of sickness.

I am truly thankful to our Master! And I am thankful to Falun Dafa for saving me from death. I want to advise everyone to treasure this momentary chance. Hold onto it and don't let it go.
