Dafa practitioners don't have illnesses. This is a belief I have held firmly ever since I began cultivation. However, it is hard to make my family members believe the same thing. Because my father died of prostate cancer, my doctor listed me as "high-risk" and emphasized that I must have annual exams after the age of 40. My wife works in a hospital, and she absolutely agrees with the doctor. Although she knew that I had never been ill for five years and was always full of energy, she was still unconvinced, and urged me numerous times to arrange for an exam. We even argued a couple of times because of this. In the end, she said, "I know you're not sick, but an annual exam conforms to the state of everyday people, and at least you can prove the power of Dafa this way."
In fact, other than extraction of some blood and wasting time, an exam is nothing bad in itself. As long as I don't have any attachment, I don't mind going.
My doctor has known me for seven or eight years and we have met five or six times. He opened my medical record and saw that I used to be allergic to pollen and would go to him for prescriptions, so he asked about my current allergy situation. I said, "It has been cured."
"You're cured? How?" The doctor's eyes grew large from disbelief.
"By practicing Falun Gong," I said.
"Really?" He was even more surprised. Then he said, "I saw on TV that the Chinese Government persecutes Falun Gong. However, it is attracting more disciples and is welcomed around the world. Can you tell me what Falun Gong is?"
"Of course. When you finish the exam, I'll show you."
Maybe he felt there was nothing to check, because he felt me here and there for less than five minutes and said, "OK, everything is fine. Now tell me about Falun Gong."
I briefly showed him the five sets of exercises and told him that, other than exercising, we also cultivate our hearts according to "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance." When I showed the sitting meditation, I said, "In China, if anyone poses like this, they will be arrested immediately, and may even lose their life."
The doctor shook his head and said, "That's really unbelievable."
I also referred to articles written by Professor Lily Feng and others, which explain how a practitioner's body is different from a nonpractitioner's body. He was very interested and listened attentively to my relating an experiment that a scientist made which showed clearly that the cells of Dafa practitioners live outside of their bodies much longer than those of everyday people. I was able to explain everything to him even though I'm a layman totally unfamiliar with medical science. Before I left, he gave me his email address and asked me to send him some information about Falun Gong.
I smiled after I left the hospital. In the past, I thought Dafa practitioners passively made compromises by having medical checkups in order to conform to the state of everyday people. But this time it became an opportunity for spreading the Fa. Through observing the change in my body, this doctor may obtain the Fa in the future, or even reach Consummation; therefore what happened today is not trivial. After my appointment I realized that, as a Dafa practitioner, extraordinary effects could be achieved while we maximize our conformation to the state of everyday people. Teacher has his arrangements every single moment, as he points out the way for us. As long as we set our hearts on the Fa, we will work as Dafa particles no matter what we do.
