(Minghui.org) My aunt was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer, and the cancer cells had spread to the bones by November 2020. The doctor was helpless, so my aunt insisted on going home for the rest of her days. Her son notified close relatives to visit her and see her one last time.
My aunt turned 80 this year. She is a kindhearted person, lives in the countryside, and has never been to school. She suffered from a serious heart disease when she was young and has fainted many times.
I went to see her in mid-November. She breathed heavily in her bed with oxygen tubes in her nose. She instructed her children and grandchildren about her shroud, which direction her body should point, and where they should set up a spirit shed. Then, she also did not forget about returning whatever medicine was not used, and many more details of her funeral.
Often times she stopped breathing, two people would hold her up in a sitting position, another one patted her back, and her son would yell in her ear “Mother! Mother! Come back,” until she resumed breathing.
She said that she had died yesterday, but her children called her back. She saw things no one else could see, and that she could not make it through today. In the end she said, “I don’t want to leave, I can’t bear to leave these children!”
I once told her the facts about Falun Dafa and told her to recite the two auspicious Dafa phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance is good,” but she didn’t seem to take it seriously at that time.
I again reminded her of the two phrases and repeated them several times until she fully understood and remembered. I told her that Falun Dafa is the best dharma of the Buddhist school. According to my own understanding, I introduced the meanings of the three words Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I said, “Auntie, you are so kind. If you sincerely and respectfully recite the nine-character mantra, gods and Buddhas will bless you. You can recite them in your heart. Just keep reciting it.” I noticed she believed it this time.
After about two or three hours aunty said, “I don’t feel bad anymore, give me a bath.” I said to my sister-in-law, “The old aunt is in good condition now.” My sister-in-law said, “Maybe it’s a brief revival before the end. I’m afraid she is not really in good condition. It has been a while since she became seriously ill.”
I went back home in the afternoon. I called my cousin the following day to check on my aunt’s situation. He said she had been improving since the last afternoon.
A few days later, he told me that her mother’s situation continued to improve. I told him to remind her to recite the two phrases, and also recite them alongside her to help her. He confirmed that his mother was indeed reciting the phrases.
Gradually, my aunt stopped the oxygen, no longer needed injections, and could take care of herself without assistance.
We visited my aunt during the last Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Festival). I asked her, “Auntie, do you still remember the two Dafa phrases I told you to recite often?” She said, “I recite them often! I was reciting them just now.”
Seeing her current condition, the relatives thought it incredible. Outside the yard, I heard another aunt and two cousins that were talking, “She doesn’t look like she has cancer! It’s really unexpected.” I said, “As long as you truly believe in Dafa, and sincerely recite the two Dafa phrases, it will have that effect.”
