(Minghui.org) My wife and I practice Falun Dafa. I am 69 years old, my wife is 68. We have five children – four boys and a girl.
My wife had many illnesses before she began to practice Falun Dafa, such as an overactive thyroid gland, heart disease, high blood pressure, and an inflammation of the windpipe. Despite all the medication she was on for many years, she found no relief.
Falun Dafa Brings Relief and Harmony
During a visit to her relatives in 1998 my wife saw many people practicing Dafa in the park. She was curious, gave it a try, and decided to practice Dafa. Within a month she was no longer bothered by the symptoms of her past illnesses.
She threw away all of her medications and has not taken any since. She is in good spirits and filled with energy.
Neighbors noticed the changes in my wife and decided to learn the exercises from her. I was very supportive, played the exercise music for everyone, and, over time, I learned the practice myself. We practice Dafa and have gone through tremendous mental and physical changes.
My wife improved her relationships with her family because she treats everyone well, family and neighbors alike.
I am the oldest child in my family and have three siblings. My parents only wanted to stay with us, so my wife took care of them for many years.
Even when my father lost his eyesight, my wife continued to care for him until the passed away.
He said, “I feel so fortunate to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law. It was Falun Dafa that saved her life. Without Falun Dafa she might have already died. I need to repeat 'Falun Dafa is good' every day.”
Practitioner Respected by Everyone
My siblings have only praise for my wife and say that she treats them as if they are her own flesh and blood. They really respect her.
Thanks to Dafa, all our children are good people and are successful. They were admitted to good universities and have good careers and marriages. None of them smoke, drink, or gamble. They are honest and mainstays in their companies, some winning major awards at work.
Though my wife is illiterate, she managed to bring up such excellent children because she followed the Dafa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and taught them the value of such principles.
My wife has a good relationship with our neighbors, and helps them often. She reminds them that she is now free of illness and full of energy. Then she tells them to remember, "Falun Dafa is good."
My wife lost her mother when she was young. Her father married again. After her father passed away, my wife – the oldest child in her family – continued to care for her stepmother. Her family witnessed her kindness. Gradually, they became supportive of her cultivation practice and some even became practitioners.
Dafa Benefits Me
Before I began to practice Falun Dafa I was extremely thin, often had diarrhea, and an inflammed vein. After I began to practice, I quit smoking, and am illnesses free. I look much younger now and have much more energy.
I am an electrician. Many of the villagers ask me to fix their appliances. I help them and do not charge them a penny. I also help family, relatives, and neighbors whenever the need arises, with no cost to them.
Our family lives in harmony. Villagers all look up to us and say that our good fortune is due to our practice of Falun Dafa.
