[Minghui.org] On the Verge of Death, German Woman Recovers from Covid After Reciting Two Auspicious Phrases

 Jan. 10, 2022 | By Minghui correspondent Dexiang in Germany

“I could feel my condition improved as I recited those words,” she said, “My mind was always busy thinking about all kinds of things. This time, I could tell my mind was cleared, and more importantly, I could sleep well.”

(Minghui.org) “The virus made me extremely weak. I had never had such a high fever before – 41°C (106°F) – and my cough was worse than my husband and son, who were also infected. I tried to get up and walk around, only to find myself falling down again immediately.” These are the words of Silke Wagner referring to the time when she was infected with the Delta variant of Covid-19 in mid-November 2021.

“I asked my husband what to do and he suggested that I recite the words ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’. I followed his advice and repeated the phrases over and over. I felt myself improving day by day,” she explained.

This way, her illness gradually diminished even though she took no medication. Silke has now fully recovered and returned to work.

She said that she didn’t believe that reciting the two phrases would cure her Covid-19. As a result, she discarded her long-held atheism and has turned to Falun Dafa, becoming a practitioner like her husband, Rainer Wagner.

Silke and Rainer Wagner

Three People in One Family Infected

Living in Bavaria, in southeast Germany, both Silke and her husband Rainer work as security inspectors at Munich Airport. They have three sons and Rainer has been practicing Falun Dafa for over 10 years. Their youngest son, Marcel, began to practice two years ago.

When 18-year-old Marcel had a PCR test at school on November 10, 2021, he tested positive for the Delta variant. His parents soon tested positive too.

Rainer showed symptoms first, followed by Marcel. Both of them stayed at home lying in bed for five days due to fever, headache, and sore throat. On the third day, Rainer was able to get out of bed and practice the Falun Dafa exercises. He fully recovered in a few days. Marcel also got well soon. Silke had been taking care of them during those days.

Helpless Like an Infant

One week later, Silke collapsed. Rainer took her to the hospital, which was very crowded. She was then asked to return home to quarantine. “At that time, my husband had gotten much better. So he helped me with eating, drinking, and changing clothes,” she recalled.

Lying in bed, Silke found herself very weak and could not get up. “When I tried, I felt my cardiovascular system could not catch up – I either ended up falling or needed help from Rainer. That is, I could not move myself,” she said, “With a fever of 41°C, I was helpless like a baby and on the verge of death.”

“What should I do?” she asked her husband in despair. Rainer mentioned Falun Dafa, a meditation system he knows well that teaches people to improve themselves both physically and mentally.

“There are many examples of people being blessed by sincerely reciting fa lun da fa hao (Falun Dafa is good) and zhen shan ren hao (Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good). Do you want to try?” asked Rainer. Silke heeded his advice and gradually got better.

After she recovered, Rainer told her that she was still mumbling the two phrases even when she was feverish and only half-awake.

Silke agreed. “I could feel my condition improved as I recited those words,” she said, “My mind was always busy thinking about all kinds of things. This time, I could tell my mind was cleared, and more importantly, I could sleep well.”

Compassion Beyond Words

Silke recalled that, as she continued repeating the two phrases, one night she saw Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Dafa. “It was only a brief moment and he was smiling at me. After a while, he disappeared,” she explained.

Lying in bed, Silke was very surprised. She added that Master Li was sitting on a lotus throne. “His compassion is beyond words and there was bright light surrounding him,” she said.

Silke continued reciting the two phrases and she asked if Rainer could read Zhuan Falun to her because she wanted to explore more.

This was not the first time Silke had interest in Falun Dafa. When Rainer started to practice more than a decade ago, she had also read Zhuan Falun. But she stopped at Lecture Two. She also tried doing the exercises, though only briefly.

But it was different this time, although she could not explain why. “Seeing Master, I was deeply touched,” she continued, “It was very personal, as if Master is there taking care of us – my heart was filled with warmth and assurance.”

She then asked Rainer to teach her the exercises. It was like an unsettled heart finally found home.

Faith in Being Good

Born in Dresden in the former East Germany, Silke was an atheist. Her grandfather had many relatives in Bavaria, so the family applied to visit their loved ones in Bavaria, in what was then West Germany. Their application was repeatedly denied over the years. They eventually got approval in 1984 when Silke was 11.

Moving to West Germany did not change her mind, though. She remained an atheist. But seeing her husband’s kindness and improvement through practicing Falun Dafa, she had no problem accepting it. “My husband is a good person. I trust him and what he believes,” she explained.

Her covid experience made her look at things in a different light. She realized Falun Dafa is more important than what she understood earlier. When she was able to sit up, she asked for a copy of Zhuan Falun from Rainer. They read together with their son Marcel every day.

Gradually, her cough stopped and fever diminished. But she was still a little weak and could not jog as she used to do. After doing the Falun Dafa exercise twice with Rainer and Marcel, however, Silke knew she had regained all her strength. She has now returned to work.

Silke is now happy and healthy

Deep Appreciation

Reading Zhuan Falun brings Silke inner peace. “My experience tells me that everything described in the book is true,” she said.

Marcel’s symptoms were not that bad and he recovered quickly. In the past, he occasionally followed his father in doing the Falun Dafa exercises or reading books. Seeing his mother’s miraculous recovery this time, he was impressed and joined his parents reading Zhuan Falun every day.

As practitioners, the three of them often discuss how to apply the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in daily life for things encountered. Each of them could identify areas for improvement. “It was not like this in the past – the conflicts could get quite intense,” recalled Silke with a relief.

Greetings from Silke and Marcel to Mr. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Dafa

That is why the Wagner family is very grateful to Mr. Li. “Thank you for watching over us during the difficult times,” wrote Silke and Marcel in a New Year greeting to Mr. Li recently, “Thank you for your blessings and support.“

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.

[NTD] In Wake of COVID Rebound in China, Falun Gong Founder Says Virus Targets CCP

 

Li Hongzhi, founder of the spiritual practice Falun Gong, told The Epoch Times on Aug. 26 that the virus is directed at the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), along with those who blindly follow the Party, defend it, and give their lives to it.

(https://www.ntd.com/in-wake-of-covid-rebound-in-china-falun-gong-founder-says-virus-targets-ccp_938782.html)

More than three years since the first outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, which became ground zero in the worldwide pandemic, the virus is seeing a resurgence in the communist country.

As the fast-spreading Omicron variant dubbed “Eris”—named for the Greek goddess of strife and discord—takes hold in China, the country is again seeing a spike in deaths among members of the regime’s top echelons, despite their special access to medical care and drugs denied to ordinary citizens.

Among those who have died in the latest wave are dozens of Chinese officials, senior executives, prominent academics, and scientists, some in their 20s and 30s. The spike in deaths seems reminiscent of that seen in late December, when the country was grappling with another huge upsurge in cases that saw hospitals and crematoriums pushed beyond the breaking point.

Recent obituaries of prominent figures published by Chinese media, state-owned entities, and Chinese universities have highlighted their CCP affiliations, using titles such as “outstanding Communist Party member.”

Li Hongzhi, founder of the spiritual practice Falun Gong, told The Epoch Times on Aug. 26 that the virus is directed at the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), along with those who blindly follow the Party, defend it, and give their lives to it.

In January, Mr. Li said that more than 400 million people in China had died of COVID-19, and that the Party has been covering up the true situation of the pandemic since it broke out more than three years ago.

At the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, Mr. Li described plagues as an inevitability when moral values deteriorate.

“When humans become corrupt in their hearts, they will generate karma, fall sick, and suffer calamities,” Mr. Li wrote in an article titled “Rationality.”

“But a pandemic like the current ‘CCP Virus’ (Wuhan Pneumonia) has come with a purpose and with a target. It has come to eliminate the followers of the evil Party and those who go along with the evil CCP.”

Mr. Li’s advice is that people “stay far away from the evil CCP and don’t align with the evil Party because what lies behind it is the red demon. Its behavior and actions are thuggish, and it stops at no evil.”

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a discipline rooted in traditional Chinese beliefs on moral and spiritual development. Composed of meditative exercises and a set of moral teachings centered on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, the discipline is practiced in more than 100 countries worldwide.

The practice gained an estimated 100 million adherents in China by 1999. The communist regime, fearing this popularity, launched a violent persecution of the faith that has caused the deaths of an untold number of practitioners.

A Historical Perspective

Over the past 3 1/2 years, the world has learned to live with the virus while China’s ruling regime aggressively pursued its draconian “zero COVID” campaign aimed at eliminating every potential case.

Eris, now a dominant variant driving up infection rates in the United States and elsewhere, so far appears no more dangerous than previous strains, according to health experts.

While officials in China have played down the public health risk and on Aug. 28 dropped COVID-19 testing requirements for inbound international travelers, some observers have taken the deaths of Chinese elites as a sign that the situation in the country might not be as rosy as authorities are seeking to project.

The death toll in China vastly exceeds that of any other country during the pandemic, noted Heng He, a U.S.-based analyst of Chinese political affairs.

Mr. Heng observed that throughout history, natural disasters have tended to surge around a time when China was experiencing a dynastic change.

“In traditional Chinese culture, there’s a prevalent belief that disasters are a reflection of the state of morality,” he told The Epoch Times.

A case in point, he said, was a bubonic plague during the last phase of the Ming Dynasty. During the 1640s, that deadly epidemic wiped out hundreds of thousands of people and contributed to the collapse of the dynasty. The plague disappeared when China entered the succeeding Qing Dynasty, its last imperial era.

What’s happening today appears to mirror this, he said. “The CCP’s rule, from what I see, is approaching its end.”

A Golden Remedy for Severe Pneumonia (Part 2)

—— Stories about Falun Dafa’s Healing Power

Jan. 16, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) “White lung” is a medical term for moderate or severe pneumonia that appears as a large white area of the lungs on X-ray or CT scan. “White lung” manifests as pulmonary fibrosis, which is a worldwide medical problem and is irreversible. The mortality rate of the disease is higher than certain cancers.　

There is no cure for pulmonary fibrosis, and available drugs can only help to slow down the progression of the disease. When pulmonary fibrosis progresses to a certain stage, respiratory failure will occur and the patient’s life is endangered.

In the recent surge of COVID cases in China, a large number of patients were found to have “white lungs.” Medical experts explained that the virus infection in the lung caused fibrosis and hypoxemia (below-normal level of oxygen in blood). The symptoms didn’t only appear in elderly patients, but also patients in their 30s or 40s. Many of the “white lung” patients have died.

However, some patients with severe pneumonia (regardless of whether it was induced by COVID) were lucky enough to regain health after either practicing Falun Dafa or sincerely reciting the phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” 

Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is an ancient body-mind discipline based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Below are several stories of how pneumonia patients recovered.

(Continued from Part 1.)

Escape Death from Bilateral Pulmonary Fibrosis

I began practicing Falun Dafa in April 1996, and I am in my 90s. In May 2003, I developed a cough that lasted over two months. In mid-July that year, when my daughter came for a visit, I suddenly developed a high fever of 39°C (102.2°F). I had generalized tremors and passed out.

I was sent to the local Chinese medicine hospital. The next day, my fever climbed up to 40°C (104°F). I was transferred to a bigger hospital. The CT scan showed that I had pulmonary fibrosis in both lungs. I was also diagnosed with lobar pneumonia and found to have multiple organ failure.

The doctors said my symptoms were incurable and I was kept in the hospital for comfort measures only. As a Falun Dafa practitioner, I wasn’t afraid and I knew Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) would protect me. Five days later, I woke up. The doctors were all dumbfounded! I knew it was Dafa’s Master who purified my body, and granted me a second chance. 

Doctor Amazed at the Recovery of a Young Child from Severe Pneumonia 

During the New Year Holiday in 2013, my younger brother’s four-year-old grandson developed a high fever of 39°C (102.2°F). He was diagnosed with severe pneumonia, but the treatment didn’t have any improvement. The child was vomiting blood, and he was sent to the ICU and issued a critical illness notice. I began reciting to him the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He stopped vomiting blood shortly after.

The boy was later transferred to the provincial hospital, which had ventilators for children. The surgeon diagnosed him with severe pneumonia, with fluid accumulation in the lungs and pneumothorax. The surgeon punched a small hole into his chest, inserted a tube to allow fluid to flow out, and then used a large syringe to pump the air out. But during the evening checkup, his condition further deteriorated.

My brother updated me on his grandson’s condition. I urged him to recite the phrases for the boy. That evening, the whole family, including me, recited the auspicious phrases non-stop. 

The next day, before the surgeon performed the planned surgery on the child, he was surprised to find through X-ray that the boy had no fluid accumulation or pneumothorax anymore. The surgeon exclaimed that a case like this had never happened before in his career. He was totally amazed!

The child was discharged in two days, and everyone was deeply grateful to Dafa and Master for saving his life.

Dafa Saves Patient Who Lost 50% of Lung Function 

Yinju is a Falun Dafa practitioner. Her brother developed acute pneumonia in the spring of 2018. He was fatigued and later developed a high fever. He went to the county hospital and had an X-ray, but the doctor said his film looked alright. 

The next day, his symptoms worsened. He had shortness of breath, and felt like he was suffocating. When he had another X-ray, it showed that his lung was 30% “white lung.” He was hospitalized immediately, and later transferred to the infectious disease hospital. By then, his lungs had become 50% “white.” The doctor gave him oxygen and the lab results showed that he was infected with several bacteria strains. 

The doctor said that he’d previously encountered two such cases, but neither patient made it. There was no better regimen for such an illness. But the basic treatment soon cost Yinju’s brother over 100,000 yuan.

When Yinju visited her brother, he was very weak, curled up in bed like a baby. He was on maximum level of oxygen but was still short of breath.

Yinju urged her brother to learn Falun Dafa. She also told him about many cases of people recovering from serious illnesses by practicing Falun Dafa. She told him to recite “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” when he could.

After he received medicine one night, Yinju’s brother suddenly felt suffocated. When he was about to pass out, he remembered the auspicious phrases, and asked Dafa’s Master to save him. He felt comfortable and relaxed right away. From that day on, his condition improved gradually and he continued reciting the phrases. Three days later, he was discharged. The doctors were stunned by such a dramatic turnaround.

After he returned home, Yinju’s brother coughed out a large amount of thick and dark sputum daily. His lungs were normal when he had a checkup one month later. He was back to work after a few months. His friends and family witnessed the supernatural power of Falun Dafa.

Blessed for the Support of Dafa

I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. My husband does not practice but he supports me. He is retired and 68 years old. He often distributes Dafa truth-clarification materials with me.

In the fall of 2018, my husband developed a fever and cough. The doctor diagnosed him with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure. 

He was hospitalized at the provincial hospital but after several days his symptoms worsened, with severe shortness of breath. The chief of the department of Thoracic Surgery checked on my husband every day and adjusted his medicines as needed. After 22 days, the chief said that he had tried every possible medication on my husband and that there wasn’t much he could do to make things better. He suggested my husband be discharged and recuperate at home.

By then, my husband could not eat anymore. He could only have a sip or two of rice soup, and still had severe shortness of breath. After some thought, we decided to take him back to the local hospital. Then he began to have stomach pain and it turned out to be a kidney stone. He was too weak to get treatment and he was discharged again for comfort care.

Upon returning home, my husband was in and out of consciousness. I told him that there was no more medical treatment available to help him. “Let us ask Dafa’s Master to save you. Do you want to listen to Master’s Fa lecture series?” He agreed. 

When he listened to the Fa lectures, my husband dozed on and off. But three days later, he no longer had pain, and his kidney stone was gone! He also had his appetite back and wanted rice soup. Two weeks later, he was able to sit up and breathe on his own. He no longer needed oxygen. Several days later, he was able to go to the bathroom on his own. And one month later, he was able to take a walk outside!

My entire family and my friends witnessed the wonder of Dafa. My husband cannot stop telling others it was Dafa’s Master who saved him. We are all deeply grateful for Master’s saving grace!

A Golden Remedy for Severe Pneumonia (Part 1)

 ——Stories about Falun Dafa’s Healing Power

Jan. 15, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) “White lung” is a medical term for moderate or severe pneumonia that appears as a large white area of the lungs on an X-ray or CT scan. “White lung” manifests as pulmonary fibrosis, which is a worldwide medical problem and is irreversible.

Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is an ancient body-mind discipline based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Below are a few stories of how pneumonia patients recovered.

Talented Musician Lost 75% of Lung Function Survived by Reciting Auspicious Phrases

Mr. Ma Xiaojun was infected with acute lobar pneumonia when he was studying film soundtrack at the Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2008. It was a serious infection in which the air sacs were filled with pus and other liquid. He had a fever of 39-40°C (102.2-104°F) and kept coughing. 

Mr. Ma Xiaojun

When he went to the hospital, the X-ray showed that 75% of his lungs had become septic and necrotic. There is no specific medicine for this lobar pneumonia and the mortality rate is very high. The only thing he could hope for was to resist the invading bacteria with his immunity. But at that time, it was extremely difficult for him to breathe, and he had severe pain in his lungs when he took a breath. 

When his girlfriend, a Falun Dafa practitioner, came to visit him, she urged him to recite the phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” In desperation, Mr. Ma began reciting. 

From morning to night, he recited the phrases countless times. He recalled, “In the half-asleep state, I felt the warmth that I had never had before. Every cell in my body revived as if spring came, and my body felt very comfortable and peaceful.”

Gradually, his pain subsided. His breathing became much more smooth. He coughed out sputum, one cup after another, dark and thick. His symptoms improved drastically and he was discharged a week later.

In general, when a patient has lobar pneumonia, the lungs experience septicemia, fluid accumulation, necrosis, and scarring after recovery, leaving a shadow on the X-ray film.

However, when Mr. Ma went back for a check-up a month later, his lungs turned out to be clear and transparent. The doctor exclaimed, “These are perfectly healthy lungs, beautiful!”

Mr. Ma reading Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa

From that point on, Mr. Ma began to practice Falun Dafa and live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

In 2016, at the age of 27, he applied to the composition department of Berklee College of Music and got excellent results in the interviews. He composed the piece, “Under the Guidance of Master.” He said that practicing Falun Dafa gave him wisdom. When he worked on that piece, the music was playing in his mind and he just wrote it down. His work was highly commended by his professor and he was accepted by the department months later.

83-Year-Old with Sarcoidosis Survives COVID Infection

The 83-year-old father of Ella Li, a resident of Flushing, New York, lives in Beijing and suffered from pulmonary sarcoidosis (growth of tiny collections of inflammatory cells in the lungs) not long ago. 

In December 2022, the elderly man was infected with COVID twice. When he was infected the first time, he had a fever, felt weak, and had to use a walker, but after sweating all over the second night, the fever disappeared on the third day.

However, within a few days, the old man was infected again. He had a high fever of over 39°C (102.2°F) for 4 consecutive days and could not eat. His condition was serious. His family took him to Pinggu District Hospital.

In the emergency room, he watched patients die one by one. He felt that he might not be able to make it. The doctor started an IV and asked the family to prepare for the worst.

After Ella learned about her father’s condition, she called him on December 27 and urged him to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” as the phrases resonate with the energy of the cosmos and could help him recover. He agreed. 

With great excitement, her brother called her the next day, “Our father is much better now. His temperature subsided, and he is video chatting with my daughter now!” 

The elderly man’s condition continued to improve for the next few days and he was discharged on January 4, 2023.

Jewelry Business Owner Recovers from a Lung Infection after Reciting Falun Dafa Is Good

June 17, 2020 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in New York

(Minghui.org) Osnat Gad, 73, lives in Suffolk County on Long Island in New York. She is Jewish and immigrated to the United States in the 1960s. She manages her family’s jewelry business and travels around the world every year searching for rare stones.

Ms. Osnat Gad

Ms. Gad’s brother and his family, who live in Manhattan, came to spend the weekend with her on March 12, 2020. A week after they left, she began to feel ill. She could not taste anything, except for a metallic taste.

“I only wanted to eat either sweet or sour food. I wanted to lie in bed because my whole body ached when I got up,” she said.

She drove herself to a hospital in Southampton on March 21, 2020. The doctor told her that she had the symptoms of a lung infection and asked her to self-quarantine at home. The doctor also instructed her to take Tylenol every four hours to relieve her fever.

Ms. Gad returned home and her condition deteriorated. She had difficulty breathing and she was in such pain that she could not get out of bed. She was scared she was going to die.

“I completely lost my memory for one month: March 21 to April 21. My mind was blank. I was washing my bedsheets frequently because I often broke out in a sweat. My nose was not blocked and I could not breathe. I could not even speak as my voice was getting weaker,” she said.

“The fear of not being able to breathe was tremendous as I was alone. I thought if I could not catch my breath the next moment, I could not call anyone to send me to the hospital because I do not want to spread the virus to them. The thought of transmitting the disease to my loved ones was terrifying. This illness cuts one off from the world. It makes people feel lonely.”

Ms. Gad’s friend Anna Louis, who is a Falun Dafa practitioner, contacted her on April 23 and suggested she recite the phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

Ms. Gad that same night texted her friend back saying she could feel air slowly going into her lungs after reciting the words. She could breathe again. She sent another message to Anna telling her that she felt oxygen in her heart, too. The next morning, she told Anna that she fell asleep after reciting the words the previous night and slept soundly. She felt better. She told Anna she wants to learn Falun Dafa.

“When Anna suggested I recite the phrases, I said okay because I had no choice. I did not know what else I could do. The doctors told me not to go to the hospital. If I went there, I would need to be put on a ventilator,” she said.

Ms. Gad observed that as she read the phrase word by word, she felt her lungs open up and fresh air go in. “I was able to breathe deeper and longer. Whoever invented this phrase, it truly is a way for teaching one to breathe correctly,” she said.

Not only did her coronavirus symptoms disappear after reciting the words, but she also found that some of her previous ailments such as heart problems were gone too.

She recites these words daily now. “I did not believe in miracles before. But reciting this has changed my energy level,” she said.

Ms. Gad is now full of energy and walks two miles every day. She has returned to work.

“I am grateful to Falun Dafa for saving my life. I thank Anna for teaching me this. God has brought her and Falun Dafa to me,” Ms. Gad said.
