(Minghui.org) I have practiced Falun Dafa for 19 years and have benefited greatly. I became healthier and a better person. I understand that, as long as I remember that I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, everything will go well. By cultivating Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, all conflicts can be resolved because the heart is pure and kind.
Discord Teaches Dafa Truths
After I graduated, I returned home. My younger brother thought that the family had spent too much money on my education and was very angry. He started to hit me in front of our family and relatives, but stopped himself because I remained calm and smiled at him. But he tore down the photo of the founder of Falun Dafa and threw it.
We used to have a good relationship, and I could not believe that we had become enemies over money. Mother was sad, because she treated us both the same. I felt hurt and thought maybe I should leave.
When I was studying the Dafa books, I suddenly understood that this was a test for me. I realized that I was a practitioner and that Master had arranged what was best for me. So why was I upset? It came to me that I felt sorry for myself. I would not have felt this way if I had thought of others first.
I appreciated this opportunity to improve in my cultivation and glad that my family helped me improve.
Patience Pays Off
I made a great effort to help my brother change his attitude. I gave him my share of the family property when he ran into financial difficulties. I told him not to worry about money. I offered to sell my house, which touched his heart and he wouldn't let me do it.
It was of great importance that he did not commit a crime against Dafa and Master, so I took every opportunity to talk to him about Dafa and told him the principle that doing good would be rewarded and doing evil would result in just the opposite.
Gradually, he understood that Dafa is good. He admitted that he was in the wrong and sent a statement that he regretted his mistakes to the Minghui website.
“Whatever I have, I will make sure my sister has, too. I will buy her an apartment. She doesn't have to worry about it,” he told my mother.
Now, we are very close again, just like when we were young. He often reads Dafa materials and watches the NTD television programs. He even helped to hang up Shen Yun posters and participated in rescuing practitioners. After reading Zhuan Falun, the main book of Dafa, he changed his bad temper.
His change of heart has benefited him--he escaped without a scratch when he was in a serious accident.
Benefiting after Helping Practitioners in Danger
My third aunt sold me a house, so I could open a school. But when the district where the house was located was to be demolished, she wanted me to return it to her so she could get compensation. I agreed without telling my mother or our relatives.
When our relatives found out, they were angry at my aunt and wanted me to sue her.
I told them that, as a practitioner, I would not retaliate. I said. “When it comes to the house, let the future take care of it.”
The relatives were touched, got emotional, and told me that they now understood the goodness of practitioners.
I was still kind my third aunt. One day she said sadly, “I've wanted to apologize to you for a long time. I should not have asked that you give me back that house. But I had to listen to my husband and son.”
I comforted her and told her that I did not mind. I said, “Sometime ago I couldn't return home because the CCP minions wanted information from me so they could persecute practitioners. You took me in and did even more to protect me. You supported practitioners during a very dangerous time. I won't forget that!”
Relatives Become Practitioners
The power of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance touched my relatives' hearts. Several of them read Zhuan Falun. My third aunt became a practitioner. She also told people the facts about Dafa.
My fourth and the youngest aunt read Zhuan Falun and learned all the exercises. They are now part of our Fa study group. They have already benefited in many ways from Dafa.
I want to have a pure and selfless heart. I will use every opportunity to clarify the facts about Dafa. This is the whole meaning of my life and the highest honor a life can have.
