  • Ancient Cultivation Stories: Transferring Illness--Cultivation Story of Buddha Milarepa

    Master Milarepa said, "Since you insist on it, I will transfer half of the illness to you. If I transfer all of it to you, you definitely cannot withstand it!" Then he transferred half of the illness to Caopu. Caopu immediately suffered from great pain and he nearly fainted. He could not even tremble or breathe. When he nearly died, Master Milarepa took back most of the illness and asked him, "How do you feel after I transferred less than half of the illness to you? Can you withstand it?"
  • How I Started to Practise Falun Dafa

    The basic teaching of Falun Dafa is simple: Keep upgrading myself by living in accordance of the universal characteristics of Zhen Shan Ren, Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance which Falun Dafa teaches are the true characteristics of the entire universe and of every human being. Don't fight with others. View others through the eyes of kindness and compassion. Diminish your attachments. Work hard but don't compete and stress for personal interest. Accept and understand others for who they are and look within to cultivate myself and live a peaceful life.
  • Reborn

    One time I carried sandbags to the sixth floor. It took me less than a half hour to bring up eight sandbags, each weighing 110 pounds. The customer was very surprised and said, "You're so skinny. How can you do that?" I said, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner." I told him about my health situation before I started practising and showed him the scars from my surgeries. I told him how I'd sold the house to cure my sickness, but it hadn't worked. Then I told him how I was cured after practising Falun Gong for a month. Falun Gong gave me a second life. He said that Falun Gong was miraculous.
  • How the Pills and Injections Forced on Me in Detention Had No Effect

    They held me down and gave me the injection and the medications by force. The drugs were discharged from my body almost immediately via sweat and urine. They were discharged via all kinds of channels including my feet and palms. I did not feel any discomfort. Seven or eight people tortured me for a week. They forcibly administered drugs by injection and by force-feeding me pills every day. Having seen that the drugs had no effect on me, they said that I had strong resistance to the medication, so they increased the dosage every day.
  • Indian Practitioner: Falun Dafa Changed My Life and Allowed Me to Become a PhD Student in a Renowned U.S. University

    From a sick, weak and timid individual tired of life just before I started to practise Falun Gong, my life has completely changed. I am now illness-free, healthier, more confident in myself, hard working and honest - and a PhD student in a top university.
  • A Businessman from Italy Tells "How I Started to Practise Falun Dafa"

    A sudden warm happiness filled my mind and my heart. I was quiet and excited at the same time. Finally I had a sign - I thought - finally I was shown the way I had been desperately searching for so long time. It couldn't be by chance. It had to be predestination. There was no doubt in my mind and that was the moment my Falun Dafa journey began. I began to study the Falun Gong teachings by downloading Master Li's books and scriptures, slowly learning the five slow moving and meditative Falun Gong exercises, all on my own.
  • Seeing "Pure Heart Clear Mind" on TV Was a Life-Changing Experience for Me

    My brother and I began following the exercises as the founder of Falun Gong, Master Li, demonstrated them. While I was exercising I felt incomparably wonderful. My body was vibrating and I could feel pain and then immediate energy and power. When I smoked marijuana I became mute and could not talk well because my thoughts were deep and zoned out. After I began practising I felt real energy in my body and I could use all my functions clearheadedly. I was tremendously delighted. Amazing changes kept happening as I kept going, and it was only the beginning.
  • My Experience of Using the Internet to let more People know the Facts

    I told a woman a couple of years older than me the facts about Falun Gong. She asked if I could call her. I agreed, but quite often when I called her, she was in a meeting. I learnt that she actually was a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official. I asked her, "You are a Party member, but you did not know about this?" She asked me eagerly. "What is it? Please tell me." After she found the truth, she was shocked and unable to accept what I told her. Through further contact and reading the Nine Commentaries, she asked me to help her entire family withdraw from the CCP.
  • My Experience of Getting Rid of Fear While Exposing the Persecution

    When I prepared to go out to let more people know the facts, my heart started pounding even before I stepped out the door. When I walked towards people, my heart pounded heavily and I just said to people, "Remember that 'Falun Dafa is good' and 'Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good!'" I then gave people a pamphlet about the persecution and the pracitce and walked away in a hurry. I would hide if I saw the same person again. After several days of practising, my fear lessened. A few more days later and my fear had diminished some more.
  • Irish Practitioner's First Experience Doing the Exercises: "The Energy Field Was Extraordinary"

    I still remember when I was taught the first exercise. After the first position, "Maitreya Straightening His Back," I turned my hands and felt a very strong resistance against the movement of my hands. The energy field was extraordinary and it was like I was moving my hands in water.
  • Western Practitioner: "Learning these exercises truly changed my life..."

    Learning these exercises truly changed my life from that day on. Another amazing thing happened to me; at that time I was also a smoker. I had been smoking for some 20 plus years. However, after just learning and doing these simple exercises that first morning, I have never had a cigarette since. In fact I very rarely ever even thought about smoking after that morning. I had tried everything before to quit, I mean everything, from patches, to hypnosis, chewing gum, cold turkey, acupuncture, you name it. But I still could not maintain the willpower to quit. However, after this one morning, that was the end of my smoking habit.
  • A Westerner's Journey to Falun Gong

    I had a quarrelsome heart while reading the book, instead of seeking understanding. Little did I know at the time, that Falun Dafa was not something that can be understood from an everyday viewpoint as it was an everyday viewpoint that brought me so much difficulty and limitation. For example, those who seek wealth and comfort are often plagued by worry about their ability to maintain their security. Those seeking fame are anxious of what others think of them. However, I felt something very special about the content of Zhuan Falun so I continued to read.
  • A Life-Threatening Illness Miraculously Disappears Thanks to Falun Gong

    They decided she would eventually have to have both of her legs amputated, but lying on the hospital bed, Ms. Chen could only think that she would rather die than have the amputation. They could do nothing for her though, except to keep her going by giving her shots and medication. Under these circumstances, she stayed in Beijing until December 26th. When she was leaving for home, the doctors told her family members that she had less than two years to live.
  • My Spiritual Journey to "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance"

    My spiritual journey began back in 1973 in Australia after leaving an upper middle class private school education system the previous year and feeling quite disillusioned with life. My girlfriend at the time took me to the only vegetarian restaurant in Sydney. I ended up working there and my life took a dramatic change for the better. The owner of the restaurant introduced me to the I-Ching (Book of Changes) and I instantly had a rapport with the ancient Chinese text and used the book for decades. I also studied under an Indian Yogi and did several years of intense yoga.
  • A Pilot Finds a New Kind of Freedom Through Falun Gong

    She realized these were just surface things and the final solution must come from her mind and her soul. The answer was on the spiritual level. Therefore she started to learn Buddhist scriptures. In one of the Buddhist Scriptures she learned that at the very beginning of the universe, there was nothing except the most primitive wisdom.
