(Minghui.org) My 76 year old mother frequently complained about the hardships and grievances in her life before she started Falun Dafa cultivation practice. Through Dafa cultivation she completely changed after realizing that past sufferings were a good thing to help her eliminate karma. She read the book Zhuan Falun carefully and became optimistic about her life.
Last year my younger sister passed away. My mother was able to quickly overcome this loss through cultivation. One day, she received a call from her son-in-law regarding his wife’s will. In fact, my late sister had left my mother inheritance rights for the new house she and her husband had purchased, as well as other rights to her estate. The son-in-law wanted to take full ownership of the house and asked my mother to give up her inheritance rights. This inheritance was a big temptation for an elderly lady who had lived in the countryside all her life and was without any retirement resources. My mother does everything according to Dafa and remembered that Master Li Hongzhi said:
“You should always be benevolent and kind to others, and consider others when doing anything. Whenever you encounter a problem, you should first consider whether others can put up with this matter or if it will hurt anyone. In doing so, there will not be any problems.” (Lecture 4, Zhuan Falun)
As a result, she agreed to her son-in-law’s request and gave up all inheritance rights and avoided any conflicts. In her heart she said, “Thank you Master for teaching me these principles. Although I have lost inheritance rights, I still feel very happy and content.”
One day, I went home after work and discovered that my mother was very happy to see me and anxious to share what she had just experienced. She said, “I went shopping for vegetables today and suddenly I couldn’t breathe. I tried to make a sound, but I could not. I tried to walk home, but my legs were weak. I did not know what to do. Later, I cleared up my thoughts, asked Master for help, and repeated ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’. After a while, I felt well and back to normal.” I was so happy for her and commented, “We have to thank Master for his salvation and study the Fa more diligently so that we can pass tribulations that arise during cultivation.”
My mother has changed so much! She was once someone who complained about everything! Before beginning Falun Dafa cultivation practice she was always in a bad mood. She now feels uplifted and optimistic in life. She was also fortunate to have met Master Li Hongzhi. She has no resentment or hatred for the past, and does everything in accordance with Dafa. This is evidence of the power of Falun Dafa cultivation.
