(Clearwisdom.net) I am a retired female worker. Four years ago I contracted kidney disease. My life totally relied on blood transfusions and kidney dialysis and I was pretty much only one step away from death. In 2001, I was fortunate to learn about Falun Gong, which gave me a new life. It was Teacher Li Hongzhi's profound teachings and practicing Falun Gong that rescued me from an inevitable death, transforming me from a dying patient with kidney disease into a healthy person.
My introduction to Falun Gong seemed to be a lucky accident. One day in July 2001, a friend of mine came to visit me and asked me if I wanted to learn to practice Falun Gong. I said, "Since the doctor has already told me I am terminally ill, it is no use for me to learn anything." She took out a copy of Zhuan Falun (1) and a cassette, and said maybe it would help to change my life. I had tried almost everything, from Western medicine to Traditional Chinese medicine, and from various Qigong masters to local folk medicine practitioners, but all had failed to cure my illness. Because of those experiences, I was skeptical that a book and tape of exercises could help me. However, after giving the matter a second thought I decided to try it out since my friend had traveled thousands of miles to bring me this book. I was really very moved by her concern so I thought I should have some consideration for her feelings. Therefore I said to her that I would read the book and then return it to her.
On August 17, 2001, I began to read the book, Zhuan Falun, which contains the principles of Falun Gong. When I first picked up the book I was unable to read a single word. After I found a pair of 200x reading glasses I managed to be able to read. I read until late afternoon when the sun had sunk so low it was too dark for me to continue. In the evening, after listening to the tape for a while, I fell asleep. In a dream, a long-time neighbor told me that his second daughter had kidney problems. After I woke up I thought it was very strange. I myself had a kidney problem and even my dream was kidney related.
I suddenly woke up at about 5 o'clock in the morning and rushed to the toilet. I was shocked to discover that my stool had black matter in it. As far as I remembered I had not eaten anything improper. At the time I did not know that Teacher had begun to take care of me.
After reading the book on the first day I found it to be very good so I continued to read the next day. At five o'clock the following morning the same thing happened again. I suddenly enlightened that Teacher was helping to discharge the toxins in my body. This lasted for 15 days and the timing of my excretion was exactly the same, 5 o'clock each morning. I felt my body getting lighter. I was extremely happy and thought to myself that Falun Gong was really wonderful. Using dialysis as a means to discharge the toxins also killed good cells in my body, but the through the exercises I was able to discharge the accumulated toxins without harming my body. Where on earth was there such a wonderful practice!
I phoned my friend and told her about the phenomena after I read the book. My friend said, "It is the mighty power of Falun Dafa that discharges the poison in such a short period of time. Study diligently!"
I said, "Since I want to learn these exercises I will not send the book back to you."
My friend said, "I meant for you to keep it." Then I said, "After the poison has been completely discharged, I only need to have a blood transfusion, then my health will be back to normal." My friend said, "How come you still want to have a blood transfusion? Are you not feeling well?" "No, I replied, I just want to build up my blood. It's not medicine after all." My friend said, "Teacher has already purified the blood in your body."
At that time I could not let go of my attachment about it and still decided to have the blood transfusion the next day. That night I had another dream and found that when I came out of the toilet there was some human excrement on me. When I awoke, I instantly enlightened to the fact that I brought back the dirty stuff again. Then I thought, a dream is a dream and it is not necessarily true, so I still decided to have the blood transfusion. I waited at the bus stop to take the bus to the hospital. When the bus came I waved to indicate the driver to stop, but the bus driver did not stop--he even sped up while passing me.
I was dumbfounded. I thought that I always took the bus to go to the hospital and had never come across anything like that. How come it failed to stop? Then I thought to myself, since the bus failed to stop I would take a rickshaw. As soon as I got in the rickshaw, Teacher's voice appeared in my ears, and the main idea of what he told me was, "The dream failed to work and stopping you also failed. If you really want to do what you intend to, then just go ahead." I instantly enlightened to what had happened and had a ride on the rickshaw and happily went back home. Since then, I read the Fa with great eagerness everyday and my eyesight suddenly recovered. Now, without glasses I can see very clearly. Later a fellow practitioner came to teach me the five sets of exercises.
On October 2, something astonishing happened in my house. My husband and child were not home. I was listening to the tape in bed and all of a sudden I heard wind blowing in the hallway. When I came out of my room I saw a whirlwind blowing from the hall toward the door. I then heard the wind blow in my bedroom as well. I had hung various inspirational pictures on the walls meant for good luck, health, and protection. At that time I saw some things come down the wall but I could not tell what they were. They were all sucked in by the whirlwind, which moved toward the door. The calendar and the newspapers on the refrigerator were all blown to the floor. The locked door automatically swung open and the two whirlwinds blew out of the door at the same time. Then it was all over and calm returned.
I was really shocked and frozen in place, unable to move my feet right away. I tried to understand what had just happened. Later when I told fellow practitioners about the incident, they said I had witnessed my environment being cleared up. When I realized what had happened I felt very excited. I realized that every word the Teacher has said is true.
Since then, I read the book and practice the exercises every day. My xinxing (2) has improved and practicing Falun Gong helps me understand the value of life and how to behave. My health improved with each passing day. Teacher helped to purify my body every day. From the day I first started to read Zhuan Falun up to now, I haven't gone to a hospital nor have I taken a single pill. I can now ride a bike from my home to the train station (quite a long distance) with ease and don't feel tired. Can you believe I used to be a patient with severe kidney disease? I want to use my own experience to prove that the principles of Falun Dafa are righteous and excellent. I will shout, "Falun Dafa is good!" from the bottom of my heart.
Because I have only had limited schooling, please point out whatever is improper.
