After she learned Falun Dafa, Fenglan discovered an utterly different world that was so wide and broad. When she understood the purpose of life was to return to one’s true self, she suddenly awakened from her doubts. She felt relaxed and at ease. According to her, the Falun Dafa teachings asked her to be selfless, to give up attachments, to forbear, and to be considerate of others. It was hard but she did not mind, for she knew she had found a true treasure that she would not give up for anything in the world.
(Clearwisdom.net) Taipei, TAIWAN- By age thirty, Fenglan had made a partnership with a law firm. Just as her life seemed smooth and her career was on the rise, depression hit her; it almost ruined her. The following story is about how she got back on her feet and started a new life.
From the Apex to the Bottom
Thinking back over the difficult events that took place in 2003, Fenglan now feels grateful to enjoy a second life.
When working in the law firm, Fenglan was in charge of the cases of company mergers. She had a good reputation in the business and hence, she was always busy.

This situation upset her greatly because she cared very much about her outward appearance. She felt she had reached the bottom of the barrel. “I felt frustrated, both with and without work. I did not know what I wanted and felt awful.” said Fenglan. She wanted to quit her job as a lawyer.
A Second Chance
Fenglan grew up in a Buddhist family, and although she tried chanting the sutras and incantations, it did not help with her descending health and mood. She had a big question mark hanging over her life and work. She often wondered why she suffered so much and what was the meaning of her work. She tried to read many spiritual books from east and west but did not find the answers she was seeking.

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.
