Three Practitioners Bear Witness to the Greatness of Dafa

Practitioner Gui Lian and her sister-in-law visited me at home in April. The sister-in-law used to suffer from a strange illness that caused her body to lose flexibility. She had difficulty sitting, standing, or turning in bed. Someone had to spoon feed her, and she needed help getting dressed and using the restroom. She visited all of the major hospitals in the area but could not find a cure. One doctor said to her: "Modern medicine cannot do anything about your illness. Try Falun Gong. You might get cured without using any medicine or injections."

After Gui Lian started practicing Falun Gong, her health greatly improved and her previously stubborn ailments went away. After seeing the miraculous results of practicing Falun Gong, her brother sent his wife, whose strange illness defied treatment, to learn the exercises from her.

Gui and the sister-in-law watched Master's videos and listened to the audio lectures together. Over time, her sister-in-law was able to do the exercise movements. The stiffness in her body went away, and she experienced a big change in both her physical and mental state. In the past she always needed help to walk, but now she was able to go up and down the stairs on her own.

She said to us: "Master has saved me. I was heading toward a vegetative state, but today I can walk up to the third floor to your home. It is a miracle that only Dafa could bring about. Dafa is truly great. Even the doctor advised me to practice Falun Gong. My illness is gone now. I understand why, after 11 years of persecution, the practitioners remain firm. Who is willing to give up something that can save his life?"

I told them about my own experience of benefiting from the practice. I started practicing after I turned 65 years old in 1997. Before then I suffered from a variety of diseases, including cerebral arteriosclerosis, headaches, dizziness, retinitis, vitreous opacity, cataracts, cervical bone hyperplasia, renal cysts, arrhythmic coronary heart disease, atrophic erosive gastritis, and other serious illnesses. Physicians in major hospitals could not recommend any medications, because the drugs used to treat one illness would interfere with the drugs used to treat a different illness.

I was becoming weaker every day, and a relative advised me to practice Falun Gong. He let me watch Master's video lectures from Jinan and listen to practitioners' presentations at experience-sharing conferences. My view of life changed. I understood that one must follow the universal principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and the only way to avoid illnesses, aging, and to reach salvation is to upgrade one's character, let go of worldly fame and self-interests, not fight for things, study the Fa, and do the Falun Gong exercises. I performed the exercises and studied the Fa principles with fellow practitioners every day. In less than a month, all my illnesses were gone, and I felt really great. When I rode a bicycle, some younger folks were not even able to keep up with me.
This year I am 78. Over the last 13 years, I have not had a cold or taken any medicine, and I am full of energy. I study the Fa principles, read Dafa books and validate the Fa. A lot of times I don't go to bed until after 2 a.m., and occasionally, I don't go to bed at all. The change in my condition fully validates that Dafa is benefiting my mind and body.

I have kept my medical history records, including the x-rays, medical examination results, and diagnostic records. When I showed these to my fellow practitioners, Gui said: "Dafa is truly miraculous! So many illnesses have disappeared, and you have not had any physical problems for 13 years. This is solid proof that Dafa is helping people."

My relatives and friends have seen the changes in me. Some have come to learn Dafa as a result, and others have better understood the facts about Dafa.
