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.

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, perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

Schoolteacher with Covid-19 Contacts a Falun Gong Practitioner for Help

 Jan. 15, 2022 | By Minghui correspondent Zhang Yun

(Minghui.org) Blanca Rivera, a teacher in Houston, Texas, tested positive for Covid-19 on February 22, 2021. Remembering a Falun Dafa workshop she had attended at a community center, she contacted a practitioner who once taught her the Falun Dafa exercises. 

The practitioner encouraged Ms. Rivera to do the Falun Dafa exercises and recite the phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Ms. Rivera recovered in a short time. Below is her story. 

Attending a Workshop

Since August 2018, practitioners in Houston have been holding a free weekly workshop at the Tracy Gee Community Center every Wednesday evening to introduce Falun Dafa to local residents. 

One Wednesday evening, Ms. Rivera happened to stop by and saw the event. A practitioner invited her to join. They watched a video lecture given by Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, for half an hour. She came back the next few Wednesdays to watch more of Mr. Li’s lectures and learned the Falun Dafa exercises. 

She was a quick learner and one of the practitioners, Ms. Chen, told her, “Your sitting meditation is very good for a beginner.”

Ms. Rivera felt encouraged and was happy to find something that could improve her physical health and character.

A Text Message Seeking Help

Ms. Chen and Ms. Rivera kept in touch after the workshop ended. Because Ms. Chen writes in Chinese and Ms. Rivera writes in English, they rely on the translation function on their phones to read each other’s text messages. 

On the morning of February 23, 2021, Ms. Rivera sent Ms. Chen a message: “I felt cold and had a terrible headache last Sunday. I tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday and the doctor told me to quarantine at home for two weeks before returning for another test, What should I do? Any suggestions?” 

“No worries,” Ms. Chen replied. “Remember we discussed reciting the phrases ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good?’ Please give it a try.”

Ms. Chen also texted Ms. Rivera an article from Minghui, “Jewelry Business Owner Recovers from a Lung Infection after Reciting Falun Dafa Is Good.” 

“Sure, I will do that. Thanks!” Ms. Rivera answered.

The Most Delicious Food

The next morning (February 24), Ms. Chen drove to Ms. Rivera’s to visit her. With masks on, the two women stood at a distance and communicated with their cell phones. Ms. Chen gave Ms. Rivera a copy of the Minghui International magazine and several Falun Gong brochures, plus a box of dumplings. Ms. Rivera was very touched. 

After returning home at noon, Ms. Chen texted Ms. Rivera another article, “A Blessing in Disguise,” about how a Vietnamese Chinese physician in Houston recovered from Covid-19 by reciting the two phrases. 

In the afternoon, Ms. Rivera texted back: “Thank you for the magazine, other information, and your smile. Although I have no sense of taste now, I could tell this is the most delicious (spiritual) food for me. Thanks!”

On March 1, Ms. Chen recorded a voice file of the two special phrases in Chinese, fa lun da fa hao for “Falun Dafa is good” and zhen shan ren hao for “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She texted the audio file to Ms. Rivera. 

“I Am Back”

“How are you doing now?” Ms. Chen asked in a message on March 14.

“Much better now,” Ms. Rivera replied. “Actually, I was thinking about you yesterday.” She said that, although she was still coughing and had a little chest pain, she felt much better than before. The headache had also improved. 

“My blood oxygen level also increased from 88% to 96% (95-100% is considered normal),” she continued. She said she had been reciting the two phrases.

‘Falun Dafa is good,’ she wrote in both Chinese and English. 

Another message from Ms. Rivera arrived on March 20: “I had an antigen test on March 15 and a PCR test on March 17. Both of them were negative! My family doctor also examined me yesterday and gave me an electrocardiograph (ECG).”

When Ms. Chen texted her again on March 27, Ms. Rivera said she was in recovery.
Ms. Chen reminded her not to worry and everything would be fine. “If you could find some time to study the Falun Dafa teachings and do the exercises, that might help, too. Can I visit you next Wednesday?”

“Sure! I believe what you said,” Ms. Rivera replied. 

When Ms. Chen visited her on March 31, Ms. Rivera said she had been reading Zhuan Falun. “I am back!” 

The two of them then did all five exercises in the backyard. Ms. Rivera’s hands were a bit shaky, but she was able to complete them. She said, “I am so happy to be back to normal. I pulled through this one-month ordeal thanks to my faith [in Falun Dafa] and divine intervention.”

A Fundamental Cure for the Coronavirus / Covid-19 / CCP Virus Pandemic

May 4, 2020 | By Jianyi

(Minghui.org) In traditional Chinese culture, plagues are usually viewed as acts of Heaven, often as a warning for wrongdoing and immorality in the world.

It says in the Taoist classics Taipingjing: “When Yin qi (negative energy) prevails over Yang qi (positive energy), the balance is turned upside down, with spirits, ghosts, and evil creatures thriving; while the Yang qi is blocked, they act in the human world in the daytime, causing endless plagues.”

It also says: “[When plagues hit,] good people will naturally thrive, while evil ones get sick; good or ill luck all depends on how one conducts oneself.”

If human beings stop following the path set forth by the divine and become decadent, they will naturally do more evil things. And when they have descended to a certain point, they will incur karmic retribution.

Gao Panlong, a high-ranking court official in the Ming Dynasty, said in the Gao Family Precepts, “Reflecting upon your shortcomings will bring you good things; correcting your mistakes will keep you away from misfortunes.”

Cure for the Wuhan Pandemic (Coronavirus / Covid-19 / CCP Virus)

The Wuhan Pandemic has been raging all over the world for months now, and in China, the number of asymptomatic infections and relapsed cases is on the rise, with the looming risk of a second outbreak. This virus has killed many more people than SARS, and to date scientists have yet to find a remedy for it.

Some people hold the view that the pandemic broke out in Wuhan for a reason: Wuhan is where the first CCP-directed TV program slandering Falun Gong was produced. The program deceived countless people across China as part of a propaganda campaign to mobilize the public to support a persecution campaign that includes systematic imprisonment, torture and killing of Falun Gong practitioners.

People have also noticed that countries and regions that have close ties with the CCP have been hit the hardest in this pandemic.

Looking at the matter from the perspective of karmic ties, when people are close to the CCP, they are in effect siding with it in all the crimes it has committed. If that’s the case, then cutting ties with the CCP might be a way to stay safe.

The following is a true story that happened only recently.

Wuhan Resident Miraculously Recovers from Coronavirus 

The mother of a Falun Gong practitioner’s daughter-in-law lives with her son’s family in a residential neighborhood in Wuhan.

One day, she developed the telltale symptoms of the virus: a fever, troubled breathing with tightness in the chest, and dry coughs.

She could not get a bed in a hospital, so she was forced to self-quarantine at home. Her whole family was petrified.

The practitioner asked her daughter-in-law to tell her mother to recite “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to turn things around.

She did so and called her mother frequently to check in on her and also encouraged her mother to quit the CCP’s affiliated organizations. She told her that the CCP had committed many crimes against humanity and that cutting ties with the CCP would protect her from karmic retribution.

Her mother quit the CCP and kept reciting the two phrases.

A few days later, her mother’s symptoms disappeared and she fully recovered. 

Her whole family is extremely grateful to Falun Dafa for saving her mother’s life, and they still recite the two phrases every day.

The CCP Is the Root Cause of Disasters and Must Be Addressed at the Root

Looking at history, we can see that the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire and the eradication of Buddhism by three Chinese emperors both brought about disasters, either in the form of epidemics or the early deaths of the emperors who issued the decrees.

Since the CCP seized power in 1949, around 80 million Chinese have been killed in various political purges and movements, such as the Land Reform (eliminating landlords), the Crackdown on Counter-revolutionaries (elimination of religions and religious groups), the Great Leap Forward (breeding falsehoods to test people’s loyalty to the CCP), the Anti-Rightist Movement (suppressing intellectuals who voiced their views on how to improve governance in China), and so on.

The Cultural Revolution completely destroyed China’s traditional culture and values.

In the bloody June 4th Massacre in 1989, the CCP slaughtered thousands of young students who tried to promote democracy and stop bureaucratic corruption. 

Millions of Uyghurs in Xinjiang are still being subjected to detention and coercive brainwashing.

Tibetans and their cultural heritage have been suppressed by the CCP for decades, and many have lost their lives trying to preserve their culture and faith.

Thousand of young people in Hong Kong have “disappeared” or “committed suicide” in their resistance to the tyranny of the CCP in recent times.

Tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners are still being persecuted for their belief in the universal principles of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,” and countless practitioners have suffered unlawful arrest, imprisonment, coercive brainwashing, torture, and even live organ harvesting, “a form of evil yet to be seen on this planet.”

The CCP’s list of crimes goes on and on, and it has extended its evil to every corner of the world.

In the past few decades, especially after the CCP regime was accepted into the World Trade Organization, it has taken advantage of the international free market to push forward its own agendas and expand its global influence.

How has the CCP taken advantage? Its tactics have included dumping products to monopolize markets, selling cheap labor, stealing intellectual property, mergers and acquisitions of foreign enterprises using state assets disguised as private entities, comprehensive infiltration into all sectors of the international community, deception, bribery, and threats.

The regime has also established Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classrooms to influence the minds of our young and the “Belt and Road Initiative” to advance its global domination strategy.

The proliferation of CCP propaganda in the West has effectively eroded and undermined the essential values on which our faith, way of life, well-being, and rule of law are based.

The CCP’s disregard for human life is further revealed by its own conduct during the devastating Wuhan pandemic. It lied about the source and scope of infection and snapped up PPE equipment globally, causing a devastating shortage of such equipment for frontline doctors and nurses fighting to save lives. Its cover-ups turned a containable infection into a global pandemic that has infected millions and killed tens of thousands of people, not to mention the unprecedented economic destruction that could be worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s.

However, the CCP has never admitted any of its crimes or apologized for any of its wrongdoings, either to the Chinese people or others around the world who have suffered as a result of its misconduct. Instead, it keeps plying its usual tricks of deception, falsehoods, and threats in its last-ditch struggle to escape responsibility.

We Need to Reflect and Be Clearheaded

While scientists and medical professionals desperately try to find a cure for the coronavirus, it is also important for people around the world to see through the CCP for what it is and to get to the bottom of the real cause of human suffering.

Oftentimes, people are indifferent when it comes to injustice and human rights abuses that they can’t see or that don’t directly impact their own lives, especially when vested interests are at stake. This is one of the key loopholes the CCP has taken advantage of in pushing its global dominance.

Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Lessons from history need to be learned, and we are in the middle of another lesson.

It’s time for the evil specter of the CCP to be completely laid bare for all to see. It must be held accountable for all its crimes against humanity, and it must be rooted out completely.

At the same time, we need to reflect and ask ourselves, “How has humanity allowed the CCP to harm people for so long?” Failing to do so, we might suffer more similar disasters in the future.

While the pandemic is a disastrous crisis, it offers us an opportunity to reflect and rebuild the world grounded in moral values, freedom of faith, and rule of law. This might be a fundamental cure for the pandemic.
