Recollections of Teacher's Lectures in GuangzhouBy a Dafa practitioner in Heilongjiang Province Teacher cured my heart disease In 1989 my store was very prosperous. Suddenly, I was diagnosed with angina and fainted twice. In order to live out my life, I closed the store. On December 21, 1994, I was fortunate enough to attend the 5th Fa Lecture Session in Guangzhou. On the first night of the lecture, Teacher cured my heart disease. The practitioner sitting next to me said, "I have followed Teacher and have attended eight Fa lecture sessions. This is the first time I’ve seen Teacher treat a heart disease. You are predestined. Cultivate well." At that moment, Teacher made two hand gestures to the standing practitioners and asked them to stamp their feet. He also had the other half of practitioners stand up and stamp their feet. Teacher did another two hand gestures. I could not bring myself to believe: Has the sickness that I have endured for so many years been cured? Time flies, and it has been ten years since that lecture session. During the persecution, the police were trying to "transform" us. They strapped heavy stones to practitioners' bodies and made them run. I was ordered to run carrying a heavy bag of soil on my back. They would beat us if we didn't run fast enough. Even after all these tortures, my heart disease never recurred.
On the night of December 28, 1994, the Guangzhou Lecture Session ended. Teacher said to us, "My visa is ready." All of us knew Teacher would travel around the world to introduce Falun Gong. We did not know when we would be able to see Him in the future. During the eight days of lectures, Teacher taught us the universal law and cleansed our bodies. When it was time to say goodbye, everybody was feeling sad. When all practitioners rose to see Teacher off, the applause was really intense. The energy field and my feelings were indescribable looking at Teacher walking towards the door. Our hearts were pumping, and tears filled our eyes. Teacher seemed to not want to leave us in dismay. He turned back and made two hand gestures to everybody. The applause slowed down, as we could not detain Him anymore. Teacher then walked out of the lecture hall. I started to understand the meaning of His hand gestures: Teacher wanted to ease our emotions to help us cultivate well.
By Falun Gong practitioner Zheng Lai On July 5, 1994, our Teacher, Mr. Li Hongzhi, was in the midst of giving a second round of Falun Gong lectures in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, when two Frenchmen, looking anxious, asked to meet with him. They introduced themselves as a father and son from France and said their god specifically asked them to go to China and ask Teacher to cure the younger man's son. The child was seven or eight years old and had been treated in many hospitals without any success. The child could not speak or move and had to lay down all the time. Teacher asked about the child's condition. Since the child was not present, Teacher asked the two Frenchmen to picture the child in their minds. Then, Teacher used His hand to simulate the shape of the child and started to treat the child, removing the illness as if he were drawing silk out of a cocoon. After a while, Teacher said the child was cured and asked the Frenchmen to call home to inquire about his condition. The hotel where Teacher stayed was not a luxury hotel and did not have international long distance telephone service, so the two Frenchmen returned to their own hotel and called home immediately. The younger man's wife told him that she wished he had called earlier because a miracle had taken place in their home. She told him that a cloud of golden light appeared in their home, and the child suddenly could move and speak. The child asked, "What happened, mom?" The child was cured—what a miracle!
In July 1994, I was fortunate enough to attend the 4th Falun Gong seminar given by Teacher in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Even now, when I recall those days, I still feel really glad and have a sense of awe. Before I began practicing Falun Gong, I was normally a kind-hearted person, but I sometimes had a bad temper. I was irritable when I was confronted with hard times. By chance, I was encouraged by one of my colleagues to practice Falun Gong. I didn't take his words seriously until the middle of July 1994, when I was fortunate enough to enter the Falun Gong seminar given by Teacher in Guangzhou. Because there were many people in the audience, I had to sit in the balcony and I could not see Teacher clearly. When Teacher started the lecture, I listened quietly and was so intrigued as He spoke that I no longer felt sleepy as I did before. Teacher generally gave the Fa lectures from 7:00 to 9:00 at night. Only when the seminar came to an end on the weekend did He change the time to accommodate the final part of His teachings. Teacher was never late for the lectures. He did not use any text for his speech. To start, He took a small piece of paper from his pocket. He did not drink any water from the beginning to the end of the lecture. When someone served him water, he proceeded with his talk without drinking it. I came to a more complete understanding of Buddhism when Teacher came to the part regarding the difference between qigong of the Buddha School and Buddhism. Before this I had been to temples to worship Buddha. The monks in the temple told me that Buddha would be more willing to bless me if I could donate as much money as possible. Now I came to understand that these monks were actually behaving in a way that led the Buddhism of Shakyamuni to decline, and they were not true cultivators. Right before the end of the seminar, several of us met with Teacher by chance. I asked Teacher if we could take some photos with Him. Teacher said that He did not have enough time to take photos with so many students. In the eyes of Teacher all students were equal and should be given an equal chance, which could take a lot of time. In the end, we did not take any photos, but I was really glad that I had the chance to speak with Teacher face to face. After I came back from the seminar, I began to abide by Teacher's Fa. I got rid of the materials that I had received from Buddhist temples. When the lay Buddhist who had directed me to the temple learned that I no longer went there because I started to practice Falun Gong, he flew into a rage and threatened that he would punish me for this. I said to him that I was not scared, because I was protected by the Teacher of a righteous way. Ever since then that person has not come to bother me anymore. From then on I have genuinely followed the path to my true home.
