(Minghui.org) My husband’s uncle practices Falun Dafa. When he came to my house to distribute Falun Dafa materials my husband helped him. They were out all night and returned at dawn. My husband said, “Uncle walks so fast I can hardly catch up with him. I’m covered in sweat running after him.” I sensed that Dafa practitioners were extraordinary.
I suffered from all kinds of health problems. My face was swollen due to allergies. If I stopped the medication, it would itch unbearably and my skin would crack like parched land. On top of that, I had breast cancer, cervical erosion, and ringing in the ears. There were lumps under my armpits as big as an egg. To avoid pressing on them, I dare not let down my arms, and lifted them all the time. My breast was swollen. I went to large and small hospitals everywhere in search of treatment and tried everything from Western medicine, to Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but nothing helped. I was afraid to tell my husband as I knew he would not be able to take it. I shouldered many things and wept quietly.
Clean Bill of Health After Practicing Dafa
My husband had an asthma attack one night and couldn't breathe. It was past 2:00 a.m. and the medical centers were closed. He knelt on the bed, and pressed his hands to his chest in great pain. I said, “Didn’t uncle ask you to remember Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good when you aren’t feeling well? Give it a try!” He did as I asked, and was fine. He now recites “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance is good” every day.
When he stayed at my place, uncle asked why I kept a Buddha statue. I told him I was desperate to find a cure for my illness. He gave me the book Zhuan Falun and urged me to read it. But I felt sleepy after reading a few sentences, and gave up.
An elderly neighbor came to visit me one day in 2005. My sister and I were about to go out and she asked where we were going. I told her we were going to buy medicine. She said, “Stop wasting money on medication. You should read Zhuan Falun.”
This woman used to scold her daughter-in-law in public. I tried to stop the fights but she had a bad temper. Her health was poor. After she began practicing Falun Dafa, her temperament improved and the lumps on her body disappeared. She told me that her eyesight became normal and she did not need to wear glasses to read Dafa books.
Her words touched me. I told my sister, “Look how much she’s changed. Let’s practice Falun Dafa.” Master saw my wish to practice and arranged for uncle to visit me again. He told me to read Zhuan Falun without stopping halfway through.
Just like before, I became very drowsy when I tried to read, but this time I didn’t give up. When I read the fifth lecture, my eyes were so heavy that I dropped the book. But I picked it up and continued reading. That’s how I managed to finish reading Zhuan Falun.
I developed a high fever when I began reading Zhuan Falun the second time. When I took my temperature, the thermometer reached its maximum. My husband was terrified and wanted to take me to the doctor. I said, “Master has begun cleansing my body.” My fever lasted for three days, but I was full of energy. I got out of bed at 5:00 a.m to feed the chickens. I had boundless energy.
When the fever subsided, I had diarrhea. I was fine when I went out riding my bicycle but when I got home, I ran to the bathroom. This went on for three days.
Master purged my body of karma so I had unusual physical symptoms. One time, my ears buzzed and it felt like insects were crawling on my face as I did the second exercise. I realized that Master was treating the problem of ringing in my ears and skin allergies. Four months later, the lumps under my arms disappeared and all my illnesses were gone.
I was not accustomed to being free of ailments. I asked my neighbor who is a practitioner, “I don’t feel uncomfortable. Has Master stopped taking care of me?” She said, “All your illnesses are gone, of course you feel fine.”
Saving People While Running a Business
After I became a practitioner, I took on two projects in a local recreational center and started my own business. My objective was not to make money. The “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” had just been published, and Master asked us to do the three things. Every day when I went to work, all I thought of was how to clarify the truth to people. I had no notion of fear, and went to places where people gathered to tell them about Dafa. I helped twelve people quit the CCP—4 or 5 each day. I sometimes gave people free tickets to the recreation center so they would stay longer and I could explain things to them thoroughly. If I could not explain everything at once, I gave them another free ticket so that they would return for another visit.
Over time, not only did I not lose money, there were more and more visitors. Sometimes my daily earnings were over 20,000 yuan. I needed more staff to help with the influx of tourists. Several local university students came to work for me part-time. Every time a wave of people came to apply for jobs, I clarified the truth to them. I gave Dafa brochures to these students and asked them to read them when they got home and then pass them along to their classmates. I got acquainted with several students in the process. I’d like to share some of my experiences.
Two young men walked past me one day saying they were going to pick a fight with someone. I went up to them anxiously to clarify the truth. I also said, “You shouldn’t get into fights. It’s not easy for your parents to bring you up. Imagine how much pain they will have if something happens to you.” I also told them some ancient stories to illustrate the principle of how good is rewarded with good, and vice versa. They changed their minds and decided not to fight. They also agreed to quit their membership in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) affiliated organizations. I told one of them, “You can renounce the Party under the name Sunshine.” He liked the name and said he would use it in the future.
He brought his girlfriend to the recreation center. He said, “Do you remember me?” I said, “You look familiar.” He replied, “You helped me quit the Party with the name Sunshine.” I looked at him carefully and noticed that his appearance had changed. He looked hostile before, but now he looked handsome, friendly, and radiant like sunshine.
I saw an elderly couple and their granddaughter sitting together one hot afternoon. I took a bottle of water, and walked over to them, “The weather is so hot, let the child drink some water. Don’t get heat stroke.” The woman thanked me and I took the chance to talk to them about Falun Dafa. She agreed to quit the CCP but the man walked away. I followed him and asked if he would like to renounce his membership. He said he had not joined the Party. I knew that wasn't true because he was dressed like an official.
The woman shouted loudly, “He’s a CCP member and a Party secretary.” I explained the facts about Dafa but he refused to quit his Party membership. I thought that he was afraid of the Party’s brutal ways. I said, “Don’t worry, no one is here. No one will know. Let me give you an alias and help you renounce your membership.” He then nodded his head.
Later, the old woman brought her grandson to see me. She said anxiously, “Please help him.” The child was going to Beijing for heart surgery and his grandmother wanted me to get him to quit his membership in the young pioneers. I did and gave him a little keepsake with information about Falun Dafa. I also suggested that he recite the phrase “Falun Dafa is good.” The woman told her grandson to thank me. I replied, “Don’t thank me. Thank my Master.”
I met a mother and daughter from another region at the park. The daughter went to buy something while the mother waited. The woman’s husband had just died and she looked depressed. After I told her about Dafa, her eyes lit up and she agreed to quit the CCP using her real name. Her daughter returned just as I was teaching her to recite the phrase “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.” As soon as she heard Falun Dafa, the daughter stopped me. “Why are telling my mother these things? Let’s go, mom,” she said. The old woman refused to go.
The daughter had no choice but to sit down next to her mother. I asked the young woman if she knew what Falun Dafa was. She said that she knew about the Tiananmen self immolation incident. I knew she had been misled by the CCP’s propaganda. I clarified things to her from the very beginning and she agreed to quit the CCP after she understood the truth. The elderly woman wanted to give me 100 yuan but I thanked her and refused. I said, “My greatest wish is that you believe Falun Dafa is good and renounce your membership in the CCP.”
I’ve had many similar experiences. I’ve clarified the truth to people in the military and government departments, university students, as well as unkempt youths. My understanding is that we shouldn’t judge people by their social status or behavior. As long as we have the heart to save them, Master will arrange for us to run into people with predestined relationships so that we can clarify the truth to them.
My Father-In-Law’s Dramatic Transformation
I can clarify the truth to strangers calmly and confidently. But when it came to changing my father-in-law’s opinion of Dafa, I had repeatedly hit a wall. My father-in-law is a kind and honest person. He had treated me like his own daughter ever since I married into the family. He usually agreed with what I decided, and seldom argued with me.
He strongly opposed me when I tried to clarify the truth. He was a village leader when he was young and was in charge of production in the last stage of the Cultural Revolution. He participated in politics before and witnessed the revolutions started by the CCP. He deeply fears the Party. When I spoke to him about Falun Dafa, he pounded the table and shouted, “You're only in your 40s, what have you been through? What do you know?”
I did not give up and clarified the truth at every opportunity. We ended up arguing until our faces were red and he got very upset. After sharing with other practitioners and reading experience sharing articles on the Minghui website, I realized that I had a strong desire to gain the upper hand. I held a grudge and was impatient. I had a strong ego and strong emotions that I needed to eliminate.
Master said in the poem “The Fa rectifies the Cosmos”:
“Compassion can harmonize Heaven and Earth, ushering in springRighteous thoughts can save the people in this world”(Hong Yin II, Translation A)
I stopped arguing with my father-in-law. I bought a DVD player and played programs about Dafa. He was terrified and angry and threatened to smash the player. Whenever I played these programs, he left the room.
When two relatives came to visit I put on the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.” My father-in-law covered his face and turned away. At first, I thought it was funny but soon realized that the old forces were stopping him from learning the truth. I thought, “I must eliminate these negative beings.” It was a hot summer day, but I suddenly felt cold, and shivered. I knew this was interference and I began sending righteous thoughts. The three of them sit still and watched the video. They did not say a single word.
At the suggestion of a relative who was also a practitioner, I canceled the subscription of all the TV channels and installed NTDTV in my parents-in-law’s bedroom. Two years later, my father-in-law accepted Dafa and saw through the nature of the CCP. He renounced his Party membership and even sued Jiang Zemin (the former CCP leader who initiated the persecution). I asked him to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good,” so that he would be blessed, and he did so.
One day, a metal ladder fell from over two meters above and hit my father-in-law on the head. He was in his 80s then. Reminded by his grandson, he said, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.” He went to the hospital and got eight stitches. The doctor suggested that he stay for one night but he refused. He returned home and recited the phrase all night. The next morning my husband asked him, “Does your head hurt?” He said no, it was just a little swollen. My husband thought it was a miracle.
Incidents like that happened twice but things turned out fine. Everyone in the family knew it was because my father-in-law often recites “Falun Dafa is good.”
Not only is my father-in-law able to handle accidents with strong righteous thoughts, he is not afraid when pressured by the CCP. Everyone in my family was harassed when we filed lawsuits against Jiang Zemin. When the police questioned my father-in-law and asked why he filed the lawsuit, he replied, “My daughter-in-law suffered from all kinds of illnesses. She recovered through practicing Dafa. Jiang Zemin suppressed and tortured practitioners for their belief, therefore I want to sue him.”
Not long after, my father-in-law started to listen to Master’s taped lectures. The elderly man now listens to the teachings during the day and recites “Falun Dafa is good” while taking a walk or before going to bed. His complexion is rosy, he enjoys good health, and appears to be in his 70s. He can easily carry a 22 pound bag of rice up the stairs. Those around him say he'll live to be 180.
My family of four generations from a 93 year old elderly man to a six year-old grandchild all practice Falun Dafa now. The eight of us are grateful to Master for his compassionate salvation.
I thank Master on behalf of everyone in the family.
