I Became a True Practitioner after My Husband Was Arrested

Feb. 15, 2012 |   By a Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) I want to wish Master a happy Chinese New Year. I deeply appreciate, and forever remember in my heart, Master's merciful salvation. This report was drafted last year, but it was not sent to the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom) because of a concern that I did not cultivate well enough. With fellow practitioners' encouragement, I eliminated this notion and am now sharing my true life experiences during the period when my husband was illegally arrested and persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) two and a half years ago.

I am a village woman. Before I met my husband, I had several blind dates, hoping to find a genuinely good person to live with for my whole life. He honestly told me that he was a Falun Gong practitioner. I was a little hesitant at first, because I knew that Falun Gong was prohibited in China. After seeing each other for a period of time, I saw that he always abided by the standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. It is not easy to find a person as good as he is now that society's moral standards have collapsed. He indeed was the right person for me.

My daily life was simple and plain after we got married. I studied the Fa or did the exercises with him sometimes, but not steadfastly. I felt lucky when I heard that other women's husbands had extramarital affairs, alcohol problems, or other bad habits. He used to drink heavily, spent money extravagantly, and had serious diseases. I fully understood that Falun Dafa had changed him and thus supported his practice.

As I was immersed in the beautiful life brought to me by Dafa, my husband was illegally arrested by the CCP and brutally persecuted. I could not believe this was happening to me. I could not face the fact. I was miserable, anxious, and without hope, as if I had fallen into an abyss.

My husband is considerate and would not offend anyone. He does no harm to society. How could such a nice person be persecuted? But for the CCP, injustice is not uncommon, and it regularly oppresses those who are good and never considers what might be best for the citizens.

When my husband was wrongfully sentenced to three years, I was in despair, heartbroken, angry, and helpless. It was fortunate that Dafa practitioners came at this critical moment to help me overcome this difficult tribulation.

Teacher said, "Dafa can dissolve sadness of the heart" ("Clearheaded" from Hong Yin III)

A song in Hong Yin III that Dafa practitioners often sing always appeared in my mind during my grief. To relieve my sorrow, I started to study Dafa books. Reading the books opened my mind and brightened my heart. Dafa helped me become more cheerful. It helped me overcome those endless worries and answered many of my questions. After that, I always read Dafa books when I felt sad.

Dafa helped me understand the true meaning of life, and I have now become a real practitioner. I would like to advise those persecuted Dafa practitioners' families to ignore their grief and stop crying. Dafa can give you a new life. Do not wander. Do not hesitate. Do not miss this rare opportunity which does not come along in ten thousand years. Your right choice today will guarantee you an auspicious future.
