(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa on February 21, 2023. Before that, even though I am only 52 years old, both my knees hurt so much that I couldn’t walk.
I went to the county and city hospitals and was diagnosed with a meniscus tear, which could be repaired surgically. When my second sister heard about it, she asked me to recite the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I did, but I was not sincere about it. I just did it to placate my sister, so it didn’t help.
I could no longer walk by May 2022. The pain was so unbearable that it made me cry, so I went to the city hospital to schedule the operation. When I got there, I could not find the doctor who would take care of me. As I was waiting for him, I called my sister to update her on my situation. She advised me to go back to the county hospital, saying that she knew someone there, so it would be easier to get to see a doctor.
At the county hospital, the doctor asked what I’d done for my knees so far. I told him that I’d had acupuncture and cupping, two sodium hyaluronate injections, and used medicinal patches many times. I even went to another province for a bone correction. I’d tried all sorts of things but to no avail. My family was saddened to learn about my condition.
The doctor said, “You will have to wait for six months before we can operate. If we did it now, your knees might become inflamed. After surgery, you will need to use crutches for another six months so that you slowly recover.” What the doctor said worried and frightened me, and I felt helpless. I called my sister again, and she asked me to practice Falun Dafa. This time, I was determined to do so.
Thanks to Master’s compassion, something truly amazing happened when I first learned the exercises. On February 21, 2023, I went to stay with my sister after being discharged from the hospital. After dinner, she began to teach me the exercises. As I was doing the second exercise “Falun Standing Stance,” I felt cold water flowing down from my back to my knees. It kept flowing down to my heels, just as if a tap had been turned on. I asked my sister what was happening and she said it was a good thing as Master was taking care of me already, so I continued. What was even more amazing was that, even though it was the first time I’d ever done the “Falun Standing Stance,” I could do it for an hour! My sister accidentally pressed the button to play the hour-long version of the exercise. Both of us thought that was truly amazing.
I stayed at my sister’s house for three days and learned all five exercises. Then I returned home. During the day I read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, whenever I had time and did the exercises at night. I had only finished primary school, so when I first started studying the Fa, there were words in the book that I couldn’t understand, so my sister explained them to me. After practicing for 20 days, my knees no longer hurt and I could walk. No words can describe how happy I was. When I see relatives and friends, I tell them, “Dafa is amazing—learn it quickly.”
After that, I studied the Fa whenever I had time and did the exercises almost every night. Although my knees no longer hurt, my legs still felt heavy. Later, my sister gave me a new lecture by Master Li (Falun Dafa’s founder) How Humankind Came To Be. Although I did not know some of the words, I read through it twice and then went to sleep. When I woke up, my legs were no longer heavy.
My legs have fully recovered! I can work now, don’t feel tired, or have any pain no matter how long I walk. I also recovered from the insomnia I had been suffering from for 10 years. When I went to another province to work, I had to take sleeping pills. Now, I can sleep very soundly at night—without sleeping pills.
I rode an electric bike four miles away for a business transaction. On the way back, the bike ran out of power and stopped. I suddenly recalled the nine auspicious Dafa words and started reciting in my heart, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Then, without me realizing it, the electric bike started to move very fast. I rode it all the way home at a steady clip.
I want to study the Fa more, improve my xinxing, cultivate myself well, clarify the truth, and help Master to save more people. I only obtained the Fa recently, so I must put in the effort to catch up.
I hope that those who have yet to understand the truth about Dafa can do so quickly. Do not be like me, someone who resisted and endured so much unnecessary hardship. The sooner one understands the truth, the sooner Dafa will protect you.
My entire family is grateful to Master! Thank you, Dafa!
