I started practising Falun Gong in April 1998. When I started to practise my spirit was also lifted, it was as though I had found something that I had always been searching for. I felt very fortunate to be able to study Falun Gong for the rest of my life. In my first year of cultivation my character improved, and my body also improved thanks to the practice. Before I started to cultivate I suffered from many different diseases, such as serious rheumatoid arthritis which made my legs rigid and very painful. I was also suffering from a pain and pressure in my chest and thyroid gland hyperplasia, all of which miraculously disappeared once I started the practice. Seeing all the great changes in both my mind and body I was determined to carry on practising.
When the illegal persecution of Falun Gong started in China, I was so scared that I sold all my books related to the practice and stopped my cultivation. Once I stopped my practice all my illnesses returned.
In the spring of 2007, I was diagnosed with diabetes, and my blood sugar was very high. I had food allergies, and was taking both western and Chinese medicine. After taking the medicine, my body swelled, I could no longer urinate, and sometimes I would fall unconscious. The doctor had no methods to help me. I was very skinny, and my life was in danger during this time and all I could do was stay in bed all day. I was on the verge of dying. Then in October of 2007, some fellow Falun Gong practitioners could see my suffering and so they helped me to start cultivating once again. Upon starting to cultivate my health rapidly improved, I was pulled back from the verge of death.
It's hard to express my gratitude and I am extremely grateful to the founder of Falun Gong and my Master, Mr. Li Hongzhi for giving me the chance to resume my cultivation. Whenever I think of the past I always have tears in my eyes for not doing so well in my cultivation.
Here I would like to take the chance to say that I will diligently and truly cultivate to the end.
