(Minghui.org) I was diagnosed with hepatitis B at the age of 24. My physical condition was so bad that I was unable to work. Every couple of weeks, I went to the hospital to see specialists. Many kinds of Chinese and Western medicine were tried. Lot of blood tests were done. The hepatitis was finally under control after long-term treatments.
When I was 33, my family and I left China. In our new country, I went to the hospital for a routine checkup. The doctors told me that I was still hepatitis B positive, so I needed regular checkups, and my family needed to get vaccinated.
That was just the beginning. Eighteen months later, I was diagnosed with a tumor. After it was removed, doctors said that I had a high risk of getting cancer. The fear of hepatitis and cancer gave me so much mental stress that I fell into a depression.
My husband encouraged me to try meditation to improve my health. One day, he suddenly recalled a relative recommending Falun Dafa to us at some point before 1999. We hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. After the persecution of Falun Dafa started in 1999, we even held a negative view of the practice because of the Chinese Communist Party’s indoctrination and propaganda.
Nevertheless, to improve my health, we thought it was worth giving it a try. From a Falun Dafa website, I followed along with a video to learn the five sets of exercises. My feet became comfortably warm when I did the exercise, and I felt energy rotating along my arms. That encouraged me to continue.
We met some practitioners who were talking about Falun Dafa and raising awareness of the persecution in Chinatown. They gave me literature that cleared up the propaganda against Falun Dafa, as well as books and lecture recordings that taught the practice. That was when I really began to practice Falun Dafa.
We later moved to another city. When I went to a new hospital for a routine physical, the doctors complimented me on my excellent health. I wasn't sure about the results. Later, I went to another doctor and told him that I had hepatitis B. The doctor didn't believe me because every indicator on my blood tests was fine. The hepatitis was gone. I was thrilled.
As I continued to practice Falun Dafa, my other physical problems also gradually disappeared, including antral gastritis, cholecystitis, hypotension, gynecological diseases, and frequent headaches. Even the seasonal flu stayed away from me. My life was completely rejuvenated.
Falun Dafa teaches one to improve their character by following the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. No one had ever told me before the true purpose of life or how to distinguish good from evil. Through Falun Dafa, I realized that I was far from being a truly good person according to the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
Day after day, I continuously rectified my thoughts and actions. I found the purpose of life through Falun Dafa, which allowed me to improve both mentally and physically. I am so fortunate to have found this path to return to my true self.
