Professor Fan No Longer Suffers from Depression

Professor Fan teaches at a technical institute in Taiwan. From the time when he was a student in college, he had suffered from painful bouts of depression. For the last twenty years, he was a student in a certain school of practice. For eight to nine years, he had accepted treatments from the body and mind section of that school and took medicine. When his illness was severe, the most difficult thing to endure was a tight feeling on the left side of his face. The tightness caused pain that spread over his entire face and eventually enveloped his whole head, causing him serious sleep loss and worsening his already low esteem. At the most critical moment, when he was preparing to resign from the university faculty and was seriously contemplating suicide, Professor Fan was fortunate to encounter Falun Dafa.

On the third day of last Chinese New Year, Professor Fan's colleague recommended him to me and sought my assistance as a counsellor. However, I knew well the limitations of counselling and mental healing. Even though he took the best medicine currently available in treating depression, combined with counselling, it was hard to say if that would completely cure his stubborn depression. However, I had witnessed many patients who were entangled by melancholia and manic depression for many years, who had been able to walk out of the valley of death and experience a rebirth because they began practising Falun Dafa.

After talking for about one hour, two Falun Dafa practitioners and I introduced Falun Dafa to Professor Fan. We invited him to attend the next nine-day seminar of the Falun Gong lectures. A miraculous change began from this moment.

Two new practitioners, Professor Fan and Mrs. Fan, respectfully listened to Master Li Hongzhi's lectures. Prior to this, Professor Fan also disposed of several hundred volumes of books from other schools of practice.

When listening to Master Li's lectures, Professor Fan was anxious and it was difficult for him to be tranquil. At the end of the first lecture, two Falun Dafa practitioners saw he was suffering, and so they decided to accompany the couple home.

After the practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts, Professor Fan suddenly calmed down and immediately told them of the strange scene he saw. He said, "In the front, there hangs layer upon layer of waterfalls. A middle-aged man sits on a big stone beside a brook. Two eyes are staring at him wickedly. The strange thing is that the left side of the man's mouth is bleeding." Professor Fan then said, "Dafa's Master appears and goes toward the man and mercifully holds his hand and seems to speak to him." After a while, Professor Fan added, "Later on, Master left and the picture disappeared!"

There was a miraculous occurrence, the tight feeling in Professor Fan's left cheek immediately disappeared. After one full week of sleep loss, he had a calm and continuous nights sleep that evening. On the second day, he cheerfully drove his car with his wife to visit his grandmother. His sister-in-law witnessed this. It was very difficult for her to imagine how her brother-in-law, who had been weak and weary because of his illness the day before, was now like a new person after just one night. Witnessing this miracle also helped to bring his elder sister-in-law, younger sister-in-law, and his wife's parents to later come and practise Falun Dafa.

Professor Fan personally experienced the profoundness of Falun Gong. At present, he continues to teach, and has enlightened that the man he saw bleeding from the left corner of the mouth had a direct relationship with the tightness he used to have in the left side of his own face.
