[Minghui.org] Builder Recovers from Severe Inflammatory Disease after Practicing Falun Dafa

 Oct. 30, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa correspondent in Taiwan

Cultivation not only improved Ms. Chiang’s health, it also made her more considerate and generous.

(Minghui.org) Ms. Chiang Lin, a Taiwanese builder in her 60s, is energetic and her life is full of hope. With her great energy and ruddy complexion, no one would imagine how much she suffered from illness more than ten years ago. She was in so much pain that she even thought of ending her own life. What led to her amazing changes? 

Ms. Chiang Lin is grateful to Dafa for freeing her of illness.

Ankylosing Spondylitis Disappeared after Practicing Falun Dafa

By 2013, Ms. Chiang had been suffering from incurable ankylosing spondylitis for eight years. This type of arthritis, which causes severe inflamation in the joints and the spine, made her body stiff and she hurt all over. Due to the side effects of the steroids Ms. Chiang had to take, her face swelled up like a full moon and her shoulders looked up like a football player’s. She was so miserable that she once thought of killing herself. 

When Ms. Chiang was desperate, a friend introduced her to Falun Dafa. She thought she might as well give it a try. She felt very good the first day, and she thought that the exercises were really extraordinary. After that, she went to do the exercises at a group practice site. The more she practiced, the better she felt. Gradually, her health improved. Once, she clearly felt a strong energy field at the site where the group did the exercises together. This made her cherish the exercises even more. 

Ms. Chiang does Falun Dafa’s fifth exercise a sitting meditation.

Ms. Chiang understood that a genuine Falun Dafa practitioner must also study Dafa’s teachings and cultivate her xinxing, so she started to read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. After reading the book, she experienced the situation whereby a practitioner needs to give up the attachment to meat. She felt like throwing up when she smelled meat, and her stomach hurt when she ate it. Her symptoms were exactly as described in the section “The Issue of Eating Meat” in Lecture Seven. Naturally, it was easy for her to quit eating meat. 

At first, Ms. Chiang did not know that suffering is a process of eliminating karma and she continued to take medications, which led to a high liver index. In a dream one night, she heard Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, say that he was going to cleanse her liver toxins. The very next day her stools were black. 

One time, Ms. Chiang went abroad for a week. She did not take any medications the first three days but then started to worry that she might not be able to walk if she did not take them the fourth day. That night she had a dream in which Master Li pulled her up and pushed her into the sky with one big hand. She was moved to tears at Master’s mighty power. So she threw away all her medications. Since then, she has cultivated diligently, and her chronic pain gradually disappeared. Ms. Chiang indeed experienced the extraordinary power of Dafa. 

Becoming Considerate and Tolerant

Cultivation not only improved Ms. Chiang’s health, it also made her more considerate and generous. She has an accounting background and was a stingy penny-pincher and took money extremely seriously. She was unwilling to take any loss on the houses she built and haggled with homebuyers over the prices, and with renters over the rent. She overwhelmed customers with unreasonable contracts, leading one buyer to consider suicide.

Now that she is a Falun Dafa practitioner, Ms. Chiang tries to live by Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. She has learned to take personal gain lightly and to put herself in the other’s shoes. She now writes up fair rental agreements with provisions that protect the tenants’ rights. She takes responsibility for the houses she sells and helps her customers with the details after the sale. Her honest attitude has turned many antagonistic customers into friends. 

Ms. Chiang became considerate and tolerant after practicing Dafa.

Ms. Chiang once partnered with a friend to invest in a piece of land. The friend backed out in the middle of the deal and took possession of the tens of millions of dollars (New Taiwan Dollars) of investment from Ms. Chiang. In the past, she would have fought to the end in court. But now she knew that the tribulation might have been predestinated and she might have owed this person in a previous life. 

Family Members Also Benefited from Dafa

Ms. Chiang has a son who also suffered from ankylosing spondylitis. He couldn’t work and was bedridden. After practicing Dafa with his mother, he not only returned to work but he also got married.

Ms. Chiang neglected her husband for years due to her busy schedule, putting a severe strain on their marriage. She remembered Master’s teachings and realized that she resented her husband instead of having compassion for him and being considerate of him. When she changed herself and got rid of her resentments, their conflicts disappeared.

Over the past ten years of cultivation, Ms. Chiang has always sensed Master’s care. She distributes information about Falun Dafa and talks to people about her personal experiences in the hope that more people will benefit from Dafa like she has.

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.
