[PureInsight.org] I am a new
Falun Dafa practitioner. I taught at a national university before
retirement. My specialty was biosciences and I had been in teaching and
research for the last forty years. It has been eleven years since I
retired in August 1996. During those years, I was responsible for
administrative work besides teaching so I was pretty busy and rarely
had any chance to get in touch with qigong, not to mention Falun Gong.
I have more leisure time after retirement. Because of my age, I was
afflicted with many illnesses of the elderly, including diabetes, high
blood pressure, prostate enlargement, and so on. I thus thought of
doing exercises to keep fit. I had studied Taijiquan before but found
it was too difficult to learn. Later, I found out my prostate problem
wasn't just due to its enlargement; instead, it was the early stage of
a tumor. After going through radiotherapy, I had the side effect of
bladder bleeding. I left the hospital after fighting hard with the
illness. I felt a need to take good care of my body and mind. At this
time I met two of my former faculty members. Both of them had practiced
Falun Dafa for several years. They had either lung cancer or heart
disease. After the surgeries, they began practicing Falun Dafa for 4 -
5 years and they overcame their illnesses without the need of taking
medicine. They both live quite happily now. Both of them are my
respected old friends and through their introduction, I have begun Dafa
cultivation for more than a year now.
Because of my short practice time, I do not have many specific things
to share. But I have found that my health has improved a lot. I am full
of vigor in my daily life. Both my endurance and complexion have also
improved substantially. I know Falun Dafa cultivates both mind and
body. Even though my physical body has improved greatly, I need to put
in more efforts into cultivating my mind.
