(Minghui.org) Before the Chinese New Year holidays, people usually give things that they don't want to relatives and friends. This is normal in our society. Whoever receives things many think differently. However, I didn't expect it would happen to my family.
One day, my husband brought home over 20 pounds of pork fat. He said someone forced him to take it.
He said, “If we don’t eat this thing, we can take it to the nursing home!” He obviously had to take it and then find a way to give it away.
After hearing his words, I felt strange. How could we let seniors eat pork fat? Couldn’t it induce a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular obstruction and cause constipation? Would this be doing a good thing or a bad thing?
I am not an everyday person so I would absolutely not do it. But, if we don't give it to other people, we can't just throw it away, as it would be a waste.
We can't send it back to where it came from, as that would be rude. If we give it to someone who has a dog, it is not proper either.
Nothing happens by accident, and I felt that it must be something for me to cultivate.
I remembered something that happened two years ago, “A practitioner who was 80 years old told me that she made pork oil from all the pork fat she got from her hometown.”
I was surprised and asked, “You dare to eat this kind of oil at such an age? Are you not afraid of cardiovascular obstruction and constipation?”
She responded to me in a relaxed tone, “That is the reasoning of an everyday person. We are Dafa practitioners.” I was very doubtful about what she said.
I never thought I would come across the same situation. I am not an everyday person and the ordinary restriction would not affect me.
I thought this might be a test to check if I believe in the Fa or not. So I used all the pork fat to make oil.
I also tried some fried fat pieces and they tasted very good. Yet on the second day something unexpected happened.
My big belly became flat. In the afternoon, I twice had an unusual bowel movement, with a black stool.
At night, I found that my smelly breath had gone and my saliva was slightly sweet.
I thus had a further understanding of what Master said,
“If the human race is able to improve its character, conduct, and thinking by grounding these in moral values, it will be possible for civilization to endure and even for miracles to occur again in the human world.” (On Dafa, Zhuan Falun)
My thinking of others brought me such an extraordinary blessing.
