Looking Back on the Falun Gong Lecture Series Held in Yanjie City of China in 1994

I attended two of Master Li's, the founder of Falun Gong lectures, one on August 5th, 1994 in Harbin City, and the other in Yanjie City, China on August 20th, 1994.

In both lectures, as soon as Master started talking, I would fall asleep, or my whole body would feel uncomfortable. Once the lecture was over, I would suddenly wake up. After returning home, I felt more and more energised. My body was undergoing amazing transformations. A section of my spine was irregularly large. I had arthritis in my leg, stomach cramps, sinus trouble and many more illnesses--all of which miraculously disappeared. In addition, my bad temper subsided, and even my way of thinking changed for the better. Further study of the Fa, the Falun Gong teachings, made me realise that Master was eliminating karma for me. Ever since these lectures, I never again experienced illness.

During the teaching, Master came down from the stage and walked around the entire hall, correcting the movements of those practising the exercises. I was very lucky to be sitting in the front row, where I was able to see our Master walking in my direction. His expression was kind-hearted and serene.

There was an event I will never forget. Before we left on the last day there were around twenty people crowded around the exit, not moving. I walked over curiously, and saw a twenty-year-old man, holding a few-months-old baby, waiting for Master. He said, "This child has been sick ever since it was born; in fact, it's extremely ill." He had travelled from Dalian to Beijing, visiting every respected hospital but to no avail. The baby was terminally ill and so he turned to qigong to try his luck. He considered trying his luck and asked the Beijing Chinese Qigong Association whether there were any qigong practices that could cure his baby.

At this point the lecture series had already begun. He and his wife took the child and travelled by plane to Yanje City. When he got to the lecture hall, he explained his circumstances to the staff and security, who allowed him in. He met Master before the teachings commenced. Master replied, "I know already. Send your wife and child back to the hotel while you stay to listen to the teaching."

As each day passed the baby's health progressed with each passing day. The infant progressed from being unable to open his eyes to being able to open his eyes, from not being able to drink milk to being able to drink milk. By the end of the lecture series, the baby had fully recovered. The father held the baby while thanking Master, telling Master that from then on he would cultivate to the best of his ability, and his child was Master's youngest practitioner.

Hearing this story, I realised that Master truly works miracles.
