(Minghui.org) I started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996. When the persecution began in 1999, I gave up the practice out of fear. I asked my son to burn my copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa.
Later, he married and had a son. At the age of five, his son still could not talk. They took him to see many specialists, but no one could diagnose the cause. My daughter-in-law could not handle the pressure, so she left home and divorced my son. When my son had to leave town for work, he left the child in my care. I suspected his inability to speak was karmic retribution for the burning of my Dafa book.
When I began practicing Dafa, I had high blood pressure and heart disease. All my illnesses were soon gone. After I stopped practicing, these diseases returned. My health was poor, and now I had to take care of this little boy who could not talk. Things were difficult.
I then got a visit from a practitioner, and she recommended that I resume my practice of Dafa. I replied, “Can I return after turning my back on it?”
“It's never too late. Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) will take you back. Write a solemn statement,” she said.
“I am not sure how to do that.”
“Just write from your heart,” she countered.
I wrote, “I am very regretful for giving up Falun Dafa and having the book burned. I am sorry and wish to be a practitioner again.”
I finished my statement and felt better. I put down my pen as my grandson ran up to me and exclaimed. “Grandma, Master is taking care of you now!”
These were his first words ever! With tears in my eyes, I picked him up and hugged him tightly. Since that day, I have practiced Dafa with my grandson, and we've been blessed by Master's grace. Thank you, Master, for your compassion!
