(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. From Dafa I learned that the purpose of life is to return to one's true self. Every day I studied the Fa, did the exercises, and with fellow practitioners, I helped introduce the Fa to more people. Every day I felt that my life was rich and full of joy. I deeply appreciated Master for picking me up from my sins and karma and giving me a brand new life.
I followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and soon all my illnesses disappeared. I was no longer in pain and once again I could sleep soundly at night. For many years, I could not eat anything raw, cold, spicy, or hard. But gradually I could eat everything again.
I have many brothers and sisters and they all inherited many illnesses from our parents, such as cerebrovascular disease, low back pain, and stomach problems. But I was over 60 years old and was completely healthy. I looked much younger than my younger sisters and cousins and was not bothered by anything. They were all envious of me and knew that it was because I practiced Falun Dafa.
My family has also benefited from my practicing Falun Dafa. Here I will just mention several examples.
My Husband Regained His Health after Suffering a Cerebral Infarction
When my husband and I got married, it was not the first marriage for either of us. We both already had children. His daughters did not want to accept me at the time, and I also could not put up with some of their habits, such as not being careful with spending money. Thus we had many family conflicts. It was quite painful.
After I began cultivation, I cared less and less about fame and gain, I looked within when there was a conflict, and I treated my husband and my family with compassion. As a result, my family was in harmony and the entire family appreciated Dafa.
In July 1999, the Communist Party started to madly persecute Dafa and Dafa practitioners. My husband saw that I, a woman who normally seemed to be very timid and fragile, went to Tiananmen Square alone to tell people that Falun Dafa is good and he admired that a lot. Although he was influenced by the atheistic ideology and did not believe in the existence of Buddhas and divine beings, he saw my changes after cultivation with his own eyes. He saw Dafa practitioners clarifying the facts with no concern for personal gain, loss, or safety, and he saw that practitioners have such broad minds. He was deeply impressed and understood that Falun Dafa is indeed great! He decided to quit the Communist Party.
My husband suffered a cerebral infarction when he was 65, and was hospitalized for several months, but he was not getting better. At the time, he had high blood pressure and had arteriosclerosis as well. If he continued to use drugs to expand the blood vessels, it might have brought on a stroke. I said to him, “I've talked to you a lot about it in the past. You know what Falun Gong is and it is absolutely not like how the Communist Party described it. From now on just recite 'Falun Dafa is good' in your mind. Then you will definitely get healthy.”
He listened to me and said out loud, “Falun Dafa is good!” From that moment, Master really began to take care of him. We saw that his health got better day by day. The left side of his body again became flexible; his left leg became agile and quick; and his face no longer looked sluggish. Soon he became completely healthy and was even better than before he had the cerebral infarction. It's been eight or nine years since this happened and he never had any of those issues again.
When my husband's work place had everyone take a physical examination, his health was better than his co-workers who were more than 10 years younger than he. He is over 70 years old now but has no gray hair, is very energetic, his back is completely straight, and he walks very quickly. His friends and co-workers all say that he looks a dozen years younger than he is and that he is very fortunate to have married me. When we go for a walk or visit friends and family, others show admiration for the fact that we have a happy family, great health, and much happiness in our lives.
Sister-in-law Once in Critical Condition, Now Completely Healthy
Several years go my brother called me and said his wife had a heart attack and was being treated in the emergency room. The hospital was afraid that she would die there so the doctors transferred her to a bigger hospital. I quickly took a taxi to the hospital. I was shocked when I saw her. Her face was gray and she almost looked like a dead person. She slipped into critical condition and within a half hour, her heart had already stopped eight times. The doctor was a classmate of my niece’s husband and had just gotten his Ph.D. from the United States. He said that my sister-in-law needed heart surgery to install a pacemaker. But even that wouldn't guarantee her health forever. My brother could not bear the situation and could not say a word. My niece, who was going to have a baby in two months also cried and cried.
The surgery would cost between 100 to 200 thousand yuan, and would cost even more for a better pacemaker. My brother had lost his job many years ago and he only made 300 yuan a month. My sister-in-law also had a very low salary. There was no way they could afford a pacemaker. And even if the surgery were performed, what would happen next was unknown. My brother had always respected my opinion but this situation had come so quickly that I also didn't know what to do. Then I suddenly thought of Master and Dafa. I said to my sister-in-law, “Hurry up and ask my Master to save you! Hurry and recite 'Falun Dafa is good'! Think about the changes in me after I began cultivation. You know that all these are true and you witnessed them with your own eyes. You must recite these words sincerely!” She nodded repeatedly.
After two hours, the EGT and the heart monitor display showed that my sister-in-law's heart had stabilized. The EKG became completely normal! I was so relieved. My sister-in-law wasn't in danger anymore. Master was taking care of her. She was saved!
The next day my sister-in-law was able to sit up. On the third day she ate a big piece of chicken and was talking and laughing. Of all the patients in her condition, she had been in the most danger, but now she looked completely healthy. When the directors and professors came to check her, they couldn't figure out why such severe symptoms had all disappeared. They didn't know what medicine she should take, so she was just given some nutritional supplements. After about ten days, she was released from the hospital. Two months later, my niece had a baby and my sister-in-law even went there to help. Now four years have passed and my brother and sister-in-law have been helping to care for the child the entire time with no problems. They are very thankful to Dafa and Dafa's Master.
Brothers-in-law Rewarded after Quitting Communist Party
My husband's younger brother had lung cancer two years ago. Because the cancer was on both of his lungs, he could not have surgery and could only have chemotherapy. However, only after one course of treatment, he could not hold down whatever he tried to eat. The side effects of chemotherapy made him extremely weak. He has a very competitive nature and didn't have a very good relationship with his wife. But I still treated him kindly. I gave him some money and also invited him to my home many times to cook him nutritious food.
I had clarified the facts to him in the past but he didn't quite accept what I told him. This time I saw that his life was in danger and I was quite sad. I did not mind his attitude in the past. With the broad mind of Dafa practitioners, I again talked to him about Falun Dafa, the reason Dafa practitioners are persecuted by the Communist Party, the evil nature of the Communist Party, the fact that heaven will destroy the Communist Party in the near future, and so on. He felt the kindness and compassion of Dafa practitioners and he was touched. He accepted the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and other DVDs, quit the Communist Party, and chose to have a great future for himself. Soon his appetite improved, his face had a nice glow, his blood pressure was no longer high, and he was energetic once again.
I also had a brother-in-law who was my older sister's husband. He was over 80 years old and had stomach cancer. After he understood the facts of the persecution, he believed that Falun Dafa was good, and he lived for five or six more years. Before he passed away, he told his daughter, “Your aunt told me to recite 'Falun Dafa is good,' and it is indeed very effective. The pain stopped whenever I recited it.” He passed away very peacefully and I know he went to a good place.
There are many more things that I would like to share. Just like Master said in “Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan” in Zhuan Falun Fajie – The Law of Zhuan Falun Explained,
“When one person obtains the Fa, the whole family will benefit.”
My entire family benefited from Dafa, my daughter and sister-in-law both began cultivation practice, and more than 40 people in my family understood the facts and quit the Communist Party. I am deeply thankful to Master for bearing the suffering for my entire family and for saving them.
Thank you Master!
