(Minghui.org) I am a teacher in mainland China. My whole family entered into Falun Dafa cultivation practice in 1998.
We have received tremendous physical, spiritual, and work-related blessings from Dafa. We have personally witnessed Dafa’s beauty and miracles. We are deeply appreciative of the boundless dignity and power of the nine golden words: “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
Below are some examples of our experiences and enlightenment.
My mother had inherited some congenital diseases. In addition to severe rhinitis, she also suffered from a perennial stuffy nose and airflow obstruction. Her face was constantly swollen and distorted. It was so bad sometimes she couldn’t even open her eyes.
She could not stand the cold or the heat. Neither could she stand the wind or the sun. Her conditions would surface several times a year.
My husband had been very bright since childhood. He did very well in school and had received many awards. His family and teachers had high hopes for him. He was also full of ambition to make something of himself.
Unfortunately, in his first year of high school, he came down with hypokalemia, a rare disease that is life-threatening. The doctor said he would need potassium maintenance for the rest of his life, and he might still end up paralyzed.
Sweating is detrimental to hypokalemia sufferers because sweating causes severe potassium loss, which in turn causes the disease to worsen and the sufferers to become immobile.
Because of his hypokalemia, my husband would frequently come down with colds, the flu, dysentery, diarrhea, and other nuisance problems.
Feeling constantly more dead than alive, he gradually lost his original fighting spirit, his will, his ambition, and his confidence.
Being his wife and knowing his relapses were unpredictable, I became a nervous wreck every time he had to go out alone. I couldn’t calm down until he was safely home.
In the spring of 1998, a colleague gave us a little piece of land to grow some vegetables. One day, my husband and I took a hoe and a pickaxe to work on our land.
After I finished digging up all the weeds, I looked back and couldn’t see my husband. I found him lying in a ditch.
I held my husband up with one hand and used the other hand to carry the hoe and the pickaxe to make the journey home.
It started to pour.
It took us over an hour to walk the one mile distance. By the time we arrived home, we were both soaked through and through, with sweat and rainwater. We were also caked with mud.
I placed my husband on the bed. He held me tightly and cried, saying, “I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault.”
I comforted him, “Don’t say that. Don’t think like that. It’s nobody’s fault.”
We both held each other tightly and had a good cry.
It was our great good fortune that my mother and my husband both obtained the Fa in June 1998.
Within two months, the various illnesses that had been plaguing my mother for 51 years all disappeared. “For the first time in my life,” she said with a happy sigh, “I understand what it means and how it feels to be disease-free.”
My husband’s incurable hypokalemia was also gone without a trace. From 1998 to date, he has remained healthy without any further medical treatment. He can do anything and everything. He lives in bliss every day. He has rediscovered hope and confidence.
What had given us the most joy was not only that my husband had no more symptom or manifestation of hypokalemia but also that the disease’s one devastating side effect of infertility had also become history, so that together my husband and I were able to produce two lovely children.
There is no human word that can possibly express our deep gratitude and appreciation for Dafa’s magnificent might and Master’s merciful grace
My mother-in-law was tight as a drum. Money meant everything to her. When her son and I were married, all she would give us were a couple of quilts. She did not give us anything else.
It was customary to provide the newlyweds with 20,000 yuan. We were given only 5,000. With that small amount of money, we rented an apartment, bought some coal, and started our married lives together.
We were living a life of extreme poverty. We owned six small bowls, two plates, and 10 pairs of chopsticks. With no table, we would sit on the firewall to eat our meals. We even had to borrow a cutting board.
If we were lucky to be able to get two eggs to make egg custard, we would eat half and save the other half for the next meal. The soup I made with a fish head would last us two to three days.
A relative once gave us a small piece of meat. We were both hesitant to eat it. I passed it to my husband. He would pass it back to me. We both cried.
People who do not have the experience would not believe the difficult time we were having and the hardships we were enduring.
With all the struggles we were going through, I blamed my mother-in-law and resented her deeply.
A year after my husband and I started practicing Falun Gong, I became pregnant.
My mother-in-law came for a visit three days after her grandson was born. She did not buy him any clothing or baby quilt. She did not hold the baby once. She did not say a word of good wishes. She did not offer any help. She stayed for about three hours, handed me 50 yuan, and left.
That first month after giving birth, there was only my husband there to take care of me and the newborn. As a male, he had no experience with child care. As a new mother, I also had no clue.
My mother-in-law said she loved her grandson, and yet she had not done one bit of grandmotherly duty. My resentment toward my mother-in-law grew.
As a Dafa disciple, I knew it was wrong to be resentful of my mother-in-law, but I did not know how to shake that feeling of deep resentment.
Somehow I knew only Master could help me, only Dafa’s power could change my attitude. So, I picked up Dafa books and started reading them.
Master teaches us to be kind to everybody and to love even our enemies. I thought, “My mother-in-law is definitely not my enemy. She is my husband’s mother. She raised him up from infancy. How can I resent her? Moreover, if she treats me the way she does, it must be because that was the way I had treated her in our past lives. A debt has to be paid.”
All of a sudden, my feeling of resentment toward my mother-in-law evaporated. I began to feel ashamed and full of self-reproach.
So, on the 100th day of my son’s birth, because my husband had to work, I took my baby and traveled by myself to visit my mother-in-law 100 miles away.
Because I had thoroughly let go of my resentment toward my mother-in-law, a miracle happened to me.
For 103 days of his life, my son had never really had a full meal. All of a sudden, my breasts were filled with milk. That condition lasted till the day he was weaned.
It is Falun Dafa that has cleansed my soul, removed my accumulated grievances, and allowed me to become a calm and principled person.
I am grateful to Master and to Dafa to have changed me for the better.
Now, my relationship with my mother-in-law remains very cordial. I show my filial piety toward her as I do my own mother.
After I entered into Dafa, I made sure I measure myself against the standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, to be a good person, and a better person.
I worked conscientiously, diligently, and responsibly, always thinking of others first, offering help to financially strapped families, looking at my students as my own children, and treating each of them the same way without any favoritism or prejudice.
Some parents wanted to give me gifts as tokens of their appreciation, I refused to accept them. If there were no way to turn them down, I would try some means to pay them back.
Master teaches us to be completely selfless, to always put others first. It was this Fa that helped save my entire class of students.
It happened on March 8, 2012. I was teaching in my classroom when my students and I all heard a loud crackling sound from overhead. We looked up involuntarily and noticed the ceiling splitting and ready to fall down directly on our heads.
I immediately thought of an earthquake. It was only afterwards that it was confirmed that a large piece of ceiling cement had come loose.
I sensed the imminent danger. My first thought was “Run for your life!”
In a split second, that selfish thought was replaced by Master’s Fa about putting others first: “I need to protect my students!”
Immediately, I ran to hold the door wide open while calling out in great urgency, “Earthquake! Get up! Drop everything! Run!”
I made sure all students were out of the classroom before I stepped out after them.
As it turned out, except for one student, everybody escaped injury.
When officials in the Education Department learned about the incident, they were amazed that I would think about protecting the students first at that life and death moment.
I forgot exactly what year it was. That winter, the snow was extraordinarily heavy.
The road leading from my house to my school was covered under a thick blanket of snow, including the ditches on both sides. It was impossible to tell the road from the ditches.
One day, my husband and I were just coming home from school when we saw that a car had driven into the ditch and couldn’t be extracted.
My husband and I went over to offer a hand. The car remained stuck.
It was getting dark. What to do?
I thought about the power of the nine golden words. I said to the driver, “Let the three of us say together with deep sincerity from our hearts: Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
The driver agreed.
I said, “Let’s start at the count of three. One. Two...”
We all joined in to recite loudly the magical words. When we were repeating the words for the third time, the car was successfully driven out of the ditch!
The driver said to us with deep emotion, “That’s indeed a miracle! Truly an amazing miracle! Thank you both.”
We told him, “Don’t thank us. Thank Dafa’s Master. Remember those nine golden words. The driver kept repeating, “Thank you, Dafa’s Master! Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good! Thanks you! Thank you!” over and over while driving away.
That was one of the countless times when I witnessed Dafa’s miraculous wonder and might!
Beside my family, many of my relatives, friends, and colleagues all are getting blessings from Dafa because they understood and accepted the truth about Falun Dafa and are kind to Dafa disciples.
I have a colleague with a cheerful personality who loves to sing and dance. She believes in Dafa and is very sympathetic to practitioners. She always wears a Dafa amulet around her neck.
I found her looking listless and out of character one day. She told me that she had come down with a bad cold and had been feeling dizzy. Her head swelled. Her whole body ached. She had even gone for intravenous injections, but nothing worked.
I recommended that she repeat the nine golden words: Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!
She promised she would.
The next day she told me her recitation of the nine golden words was working. She related how she didn’t think she could teach class that day so she gave her students some exercises to work on while she sat and recited the words.
About 40 minutes later, she felt a heating sensation coursing from her head to her toes. All at once, her head felt much better.
I suggested she kept up the recitation. She said, “I will. I will.”
A day later, I saw her approaching, singing. I knew she had recovered completely.
She told me, “Last night when I got home from school, I was sitting in bed looking at my amulet. Then, I started reciting the words you taught me. I fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, I felt marvelously fine.”
Similar cases like hers abound. The miracles of Dafa are too numerous to count and reiterate.
