(Clearwisdom.net) There are over thirty people in my family. Among them, six people started practicing Falun Gong before the persecution began on July 20, 1999. The others were able to understand the practice very well. My mother-in-law not only knew that Falun Gong was good but was also very supportive. Since the persecution of Falun Gong was launched on July 20, 1999, my two sisters and I have been persistent in validating Falun Gong. More than once we have been arrested, fined, detained, sent to forced labor camps and brainwashed. Through these several years of persecution, my sisters and family have suffered a great deal both financially and mentally. It has been especially difficult for my 80-year-old mother-in-law.
In 2001, my two sisters and I were detained in a detention center and tortured. My mother-in-law became ill from being so upset and stressed by our situation. After an investigation by the hospital, she was diagnosed as having galactophore cancer and had an operation immediately. All the families were upset by this. They did not know the truth about Falun Gong and thus they insisted that my mother-in-law was ill because of us. Especially after we returned home from the forced labor camp, the family kept a very close eye on us. This brought difficulties to our clarifying the truth and fighting against the persecution to save lives. Through our serious studies of the Fa and frequent clarifying the truth, the attitude of the family started to change, and our environment therefore improved.
In November 2004, my mother-in-law suddenly coughed blood, and we were told that she was in the later stages of lung cancer, and that it had already eradiated. The doctor said that she could live from one to three months. After hearing the bad news, no one wanted the older lady to know the truth about her condition. Sisters shed tears secretly, being unable to do anything. My husband told me the truth, I immediately went to the hospital to take care of her, and told her to say "Falun Dafa is good." Through this opportunity I told her the facts about Falun Dafa. Afterwards, the sixth sister who did not practice Dafa said, "Our mum is already in her eighties. If reciting 'Falun Dafa is good' can help her relieve the pain and she can live with less suffering, I would regard Falun Gong as all powerful." I realized that this was a good chance to validate Dafa, and that I should take this opportunity to save my mother-in-law.
I went to my aunt who also practices to discuss and tell her about my ideas. She agreed, and thought that if mother-in-law could be saved, over thirty family members would reevaluate Dafa. We let our first sister who was a new practitioner talk with our mother-in-law, not only to recite that Dafa is good, but to study the Fa. Mother-in-law agreed, and decided to study the Fa at a relative's family who lived in the hospital's apartment. On the same morning at ten o'clock, the hospital told mum she could leave the hospital, go home and take medicine. We happily went home and started teaching my mother-in-law the practice. Four of us practiced Falun Gong at home and mother-in-law stayed in bed reciting "Falun Dafa is good." We therefore formed a strong and pure energy field. Every day we three took turns studying and practicing with mother-in-law. She got better and better, and after three months she could walk on the street again.
On the lunar April 8, 2005, my mother-in-law wanted to celebrate Master's birthday, and asked all eight sisters and brothers to buy presents for Master. That day, we happily celebrated Master's birthday. What was fortunate was that those who did not understand Dafa changed their attitudes, and those who were blinded became clear. I realized that when we practitioners have right thoughts and actions Dafa is very powerful.
During the process of mother-in-law's practice, there were times when she experienced eliminating karma or being disturbed. When she felt bad, she would become doubtful and say, "I have not practiced well, is it possible that Master will just leave me alone?" I told her, "when you are suffering, it is Master who helps you push out those bad things to the surface. You have to keep up with it, it will be fine, and it is good. You need to strongly believe in Master, and believe in the Fa. Master said, 'Cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master.' (Zhuan Falun) In fact, whatever you think, our Master knows."
Thereafter, mother-in-law improved a lot. Several days later, she suddenly coughed and felt something strange in her mouth. She spit out a grey, one inch long worm with two antenna. Afterwards, mother-in-law got over her concern, and left her burdens behind. She studied and practiced diligently. I realized that it was the Master who tried to show her, and instructed her to move forward, not wanting to leave her behind.
The magical power of Dafa not only allowed my mother-in-law to survive, she is now energetic, loud and no longer coughs. Her miracle amazed the doctors.
This real life occurrence dramatically changed over thirty members of my family. The three who were left behind caught up, the third sister who works in the government resigned from the party, the fourth sister who was forced to attend the "keeping fresh" activity would not listen or speak, but kept saying "Falun Dafa is good." The daughter who did not understand Dafa resigned from the Communist Youth League and read material clarifying the truth of Falun Gong. My daughter-in-law used to complain and not understand because I was detained for trying to validate the Fa. Now she understands the truth, and has started reading Zhuan Falun. My husband changed his attitude from strict monitoring to support.
My son has made the biggest change. In the past, he did not understand Dafa, refused to learn about the truth of Falun Gong, and would not even allow his daughter to say "Falun Dafa is good." However, his grandmother's change had a great impact on him, such that he not only resigned from the Communist Youth League, but also voluntarily tells other people the truth about Falun Gong, and spreads Falun Gong. For example, his wife's grandpa and grandma did not accept it when I told them the true facts about Falun Gong. What's more, they regard me as being involved in politics. Not long ago, his wife's grandma was ill, but failed to have the hospital investigate what is wrong with her. She was not able to eat, had no strength and was feeling ill. After taking medicine costing 600 or 700 yuan, she had no signs of getting better. Then my son told her wife's grandma the story about his own grandma and how she started to practice Falun Gong and improved her health by practicing, and finally fully recovered. He then suggested that they learn Falun Gong. By then, his wife's grandma understood the truth of Falun Gong and couldn't wait to call me and ask me to teach her how to practice Falun Gong. When I went to teach her, another grandmother, her neighbor, asked me to teach her too. I then taught them both. A week later, his wife's grandma was fully recovered. Her xinxing improved very quickly. Now she is able to treat herself as a Falun Gong practitioner at all times. Whenever she meets people, she tells them "Falun Dafa is good. Falun Gong is to teach us to be good people." Now she is fully recovered and doesn't need to take medicine. His wife's grandpa had always refused to read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Now he himself took the initiative to read it. At the same time, he started to read the materials which clarify the truth of Falun Gong, and Zhuan Falun.
All this came from the mercy of Master and the invincible might of Dafa. Master said, "With one person practicing, the whole family benefits." ("Lecture at the Australia Fa Conference") When one person learns Falun Gong all his relatives, friends, neighbors and colleagues, who come to know the truth of Falun Gong will be saved. However, the evil still keeps on persecuting, many people are still in delusion, and we Dafa disciples have a great responsibility. Those unsaved sentient beings are eagerly waiting for us.
