New York – Jose Luis

Hi, I’m Jose Luis. The first time I heard about "Falun Dafa" was at the health convention (The New Life Expo.) celebrated at the "New Yorker Hotel" on September 1997. I went there with a friend of mine with the idea of attending a 45 minutes lecture of another Qi Gong system. The same day I heard about this "Dafa".

My friend got very excited and asked me to go with her to that booth, because she wanted to buy their exercise video and to get more information. This happened almost at the end of that night and I was really tired, but anyway I went along with her; and I'm glad I did it...

While she was buying the video, I decided to look around the other booths. And from the distance I noticed that somebody was sitting on the ground doing some kind of exercise. Not only that took my attention, but I noticed also that the person doing the exercise had a lot of visible energy around his body: I grabbed my friend and went there to take a closer look.

The person that was doing the sitting exercise was inside of some kind of energy field which was visible... That was something very unusual for me, so I was very excited and asked my friend over and over: Can you see the energy? Can you see the energy on his hands? The answer of my friend was not enough for me, so I told the others practitioners at Falun Dafa booth about the energy flowing; and they all told me: we know...

They also told me that the exercise that they were practicing was part of five sets of exercise from a high-level Qi Gong system with the name of "FALUN DAFA" and that they would have a brief introduction to "FALUN DAFA" where they would also teach some of their exercises. On that specific weekend, I remembered going back to their booth the same night telling the practitioners again and again: remember me? I will come to the introduction, I will not forget about it... I will be there...

At that time I just came back from a trip to China and Puerto Rico, where I was working on the last details of writing a book about my three-year experiences of studying the U.F.O. philosophy (The ExtraTerestrial Philosophy); but once I started learning "FALUN DAFA" most of the things that I was writing lost their meaning, it didn't make sense anymore...

One of the first things that I did was to attempt the nine days lectures. To tell you the truth , in the beginning it was hard for me to accept that everything "MASTER LI" said as the only truth... I guess I was too attached to the U.F.O. philosophy, too attached to my work, and to my believes... At the same time when I was trying to comprehend what "MASTER LI" was saying, I was also receiving insulting messages from the teacher of the U.F.O.'s philosophy, because he wanted me to finish writing my book right away. But how could I do that after learning about "FALUN DAFA".

One specific night, I was resting in my room and I got a vision of "MASTER LI" sitting next to me. In this vision "MASTER LI" asked me: Ok, from the things that I taught you, tell me what did I say? And then I answered: You told me to do right things, to think in a positive way, to love everything around me; and then "MASTER LI" told me: That's not what I said... I said "CULTIVATE YOUR HEART"...

And then ,I understood the meaning of those words. After having this vision I decided for sure to stop writing and reading other books; and I concentrated myself every day on the practicing of "FALUN DAFA" and cultivating my "heart"...

I’ve been having many kind of reactions all over my body after I started to practice "TRULY" "FALUN DAFA". Specially my back, shoulders, and chest started to get some kind of rash. It's the only thing I can see... My skin was burning and itching a lot... I was embarrassed to let others see my skin during that time I also remembered awakening in the middle of he night and sweating a lot, all wet. Later on I learned that the purification of the body can lead you to have that kind of reactions.

Last year I was coming from Louisville to New York in a mini van with a couple of friends. I think it was like 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning. We were all talking and telling stories, until we felt asleep; and then I woke up suddenly because of a strong noise, when I look around me to see what was happening, I realized that the van was running off the road

in a tremendous speed...

Finally, the van stopped right in front of a gorge, but then it started to fall down the gorge. At the same time that the driver was screaming over and over: "I fell sleep, I fell sleep. I'm sorry." When the van finally stopped falling down, I found out that the glass window next to my side was gone... Apparently I smashed the whole glass using my forehead. I got a minor cut on my forehead and under my left knee but I was fine. No swollen, no pain at all, I was completely fine.

The person that was sitting next to me weighted around 300 pounds, and when the van started to fall down by the law of nature, he supposed to fall first on top of me; but instead, he first felt to the front of the van; which is very unusual. My friends were all surprised that after that, I didn't even want to go to the hospital.

After that experience, the desire and love for practicing cultivation got stronger... During the cultivation process I have been having many changes in my physical body, and more importantly I have been having many changes in my way of thinking; many memories seem to coming back to me.

"FALUN DAFA" truly helps me to understand in a better way not only myself, but also things around me, life, the things that I cannot see yet, and the whole creation...

That's why I say, "FALUN DAFA" is the Best, the most Powerful, the most

Complete system of all...

Thank you for listening, and for your help.
