(Minghui.org) I used to always think of myself as a pretty good person—my friends and family all told me that I was good, and compared to other people, I thought I wasn't too bad.
After I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, I realized just how much I had been hiding from myself all this time. I was selfish, narrow-minded, and was easily jealous.
I never trusted my husband and would constantly pester him with phone calls whenever he left the house. I used my company's funds for my own enjoyment, and held grudges easily, especially against my mother-in-law.
In addition, all these negative emotions had been taking their own toll on me, chipping away at my sanity and peace of mind. I was a victim to my own flaws: each one of them was a worry that chained me down and kept me from living my life.
After practicing Falun Dafa, I began to live according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to the best of my ability. This brought enormous changes to my mind and body. I became calmer, happier, and healthier.
Dafa has helped me let go of the unresolved grudges that had burdened me – and has replaced them with compassion.
I now get along well with my parents-in-law, and have learned to treat everyone I come across with kindness. I also make sure to put others before myself, and I have become more generous to my husband. Though he had a mistress for a time, I treated them both kindly and allowed the situation to be resolved peaceably, which saved the family.
I have a happy and fulfilling life, thanks to the power of Dafa. I am forever grateful that I was able to come across such a magnificent practice, and I would like to share it with other people so that they can also benefit.
I, however, am not the only person who has benefited. My friends and family have also experienced improvements in their lives after understanding the facts about Falun Dafa. Below are just a few stories of how their lives changed for the better.
My husband was always frail, and was prone to getting sick and catching colds. Ever since I began to practice Dafa, he has had smooth sailing in his career. No matter which company he worked for, his employers were always happy with his work. Because of all the bonuses, our family income increased significantly. He also got promoted recently to an administrative position, and is much less prone to getting colds.
After the persecution of Falun Dafa began in 1999, I sent a DVD explaining the facts about Falun Dafa to my work director's home in order to dispel the vicious rumors that the Chinese Communist Party had spread.
His family of three watched it the same night, and he resolved to protect all Falun Dafa practitioners at his workplace. His wife also displayed the Zhuan Falun book that I gave her on their bookshelf, while his son complimented the book, saying that it was “very well-written” to his classmates.
The whole family understood the facts, and benefited because of it.
Due to the persecution, I had to leave home for a while. Two years after I returned home, I decided to go back to my old director and ask to resume my work. He readily agreed and asked me which department I wanted to work under—blatantly ignoring the commands of the Party secretary to report all Falun Dafa practitioners.
Not long after, he became the deputy magistrate of the area despite fierce competition, and soon became the deputy director of the city bureau. His good deeds toward Dafa were appropriately rewarded in the form of two promotions within the span of a year.
Because of my practice of Falun Dafa, I was forced to hide out in my uncle's home in 2003. He and my cousin did their best to protect me from the authorities, and were properly rewarded.
Several years ago, my uncle had suffered from heart disease. He was confined to a bed and required bypass surgery. I visited him the day before the surgery, and showed him some Falun Dafa informational materials which he read through right away.
The next day, the doctor checked him, and was surprised to find that my uncle's blood vessels were in working order. He didn't need surgery anymore.
I told my uncle that this was all thanks to Dafa and Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa). He was very grateful.
My young niece had suffered from hyperthyroidism before her marriage. She also had bilateral ovarian cysts during her pregnancy and required surgery. The doctor suggested an abortion, but she refused.
I encouraged her to keep saying, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
The surgery ended up a success and allowed her to keep the baby. She gave birth to a healthy eight-pound girl. However, she couldn't produce enough breast milk to feed her. Again, I told her to recite the same verses.
Her daughter is now five months old and breastfeeding normally. My niece said that this was a blessing from Dafa.
When my father had prostate surgery at 87, I took a month off of work to accompany him. I read Zhuan Falun to him, and he watched Falun Dafa DVDs. He was brought to tears when I played him Dafa music.
My father read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and told me that it speaks nothing but the truth. He experienced the previous movements of the CCP, and so he understood its cult nature very well.
He also watched Teacher's lectures in Guangzhou at a practitioner's home. It turns out that his third eye had been open and asked the practitioner if he could also see the big Falun rotating in the room.
He said he could see Falun in my house, but not his son's. He recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” day and night.
Because of his faith in Dafa, his life was saved on several occasions. I once brought him to visit relatives in the countryside. As soon as we arrived in the yard, he suddenly fell on an iron tool. He ended up with a big cut on his head, but it did not bleed and was patched up in a few stitches.
He fell down the stairs when I took him to the mall, but he was just fine. Though he was a 90-year-old man, his many falls never seemed to hurt him.
Father died a natural death last October at the age of 90.
Mr. Wang, my colleague, withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party. I gave him Shen Yun DVDs every year, and often showed him Falun Dafa informational materials.
He often said “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” aloud to himself.
Once while driving, his car flipped over into a ditch. His 30-year-old companion had broken his back, but 56-year-old Mr. Wang was unharmed. He knew that it was Dafa and Master Li who had kept him safe.
