(Minghui.org) This year marks the 30th anniversary of Falun Dafa’s public introduction. Today, Falun Dafa is practiced by 100 million people in more than 100 countries around the world. It provides countless benefits to millions of people regardless of their language, race, or background. It purifies their hearts, gives them health, happiness, peace, hope and a good future.
I feel very lucky to have the chance to practice Falun Dafa at this glorious time when Dafa is spreading around the world.
I’ve been practicing Falun Dafa for 22 years. I can always feel Master’s (Falun Dafa’s founder) compassion and his care for me and my family. Whenever I remember what Master has done for us, my heart is filled with gratitude.
I am originally from Turkey, but after I married my Czech husband I moved to Czechia. He is also a practitioner. We have two little boys, one is 5 and the other is 3 years old. We are raising them according to Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, with Master’s teachings and guidance Dafa gives us.
Every evening before going to sleep, we repeat with them in Chinese, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Then I recite Lunyu and sing “Falun Dafa Hao” to them. One evening, I wanted to leave the room without reciting Lunyu because I had work to do. But my older son David suddenly said the first sentence, “Dafa is the wisdom of the Creator.” (Lunyu, Zhuan Falun) . I was shocked. I continued where he left off. In the following days, David began to recite the second and third sentences as well.
Ludvik my younger son says every evening, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” They enjoy doing this. It is truly an honor for us to see them grow within Dafa!
Every night, they want to sleep listening to Master’s audio lecture recordings in Chinese. Lately, they specifically ask for it. Even when they wake up at night, sometimes they want to listen.
Whenever they get sick, we tell them to say, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and Master will help them. They do this and listen to Master’s audio lecture recordings because they know Master is protecting them. Their illnesses are never serious and they get over them very quickly.
Development of Morality
In kindergarten the children are sometimes given gifts such as chocolates. Once, when David wanted to show me them, he realized he didn’t get one. This happened twice. I understood the situation, and as I didn’t want him to focus on loss and gain, I advised him to make do with what he has and not think about what’s gone. He agreed immediately and the matter was thus resolved.
Another time, he said that some of his friends didn’t want to play with him and weren’t nice to him. I asked him why they didn’t want to play with him. I comforted him and suggested he look inside to see if he had done something wrong. I told him if he didn’t do anything wrong, after a while everything would be back to normal.
One time, on the way home from kindergarten, David was in a bad mood. He cried and screamed. When I tried to explain the situation to him, he refused to listen and kept crying. After a while, he tripped and fell hard on his knees. I immediately took care of him. He wasn’t seriously injured but it hurt a lot. I hugged and kissed him. With a compassionate heart, I said it was karma. I said good will be rewarded, and evil will be met with karmic retribution. Since then, he has a better understanding of the principle of karma and virtue.
We remind both of our children of this ancient principle. Dafa is helping us to raise a virtuous generation.
COVID Pandemic
We had close contact with someone who had the virus twice since the COVID outbreak began. The first time a close colleague of my husband’s at work tested positive. He had close contact with my husband the previous day. After hearing that he was positive, I wasn’t worried, because I know Falun Dafa protects us. We both got tested and we were both negative. My husband is the only person in his company who has not been infected with COVID! Company employees thus witnessed the miracle of Dafa.
The second contact was my husband’s father. My father-in-law picked up David after kindergarten and took him home. When he brought his grandson back in the evening after spending time together, we kissed each other as usual. But the next morning, my husband called me to say my father-in-law had COVID. Everyone in his company was infected with COVID. My first thought when I heard this, and the first thing I said to my husband, was to ask if he needed anything. We had already told my father-in-law and mother-in-law about Falun Dafa and the persecution of it in China, and they knew the truth. My father-in-law had a mild case of the virus and was fine. After he recovered, my mother-in-law was also infected, but her case was also mild.
Despite David being there all day and kissing each other when he brought his grandson home, none of us got the virus. These were the only close contacts we know of with COVID. Who knows how many times we have had other contacts unknowingly. This is proof of how miraculous and incredible Dafa is! My family and I have experienced countless miracles like this over the years. We believe in Dafa and Master from the bottom of our hearts.
I hope more and more people can learn Falun Dafa and see countless benefits like us, firsthand. Falun Dafa is what everyone needs in this uncertain time!
Happy 30th anniversary of the introduction of Falun Dafa to the world and World Falun Dafa Day for all humanity! Our family of four practitioners sincerely and gratefully wish Master a happy birthday. Happy birthday, venerable Master!
