(Minghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner in Quebec, Canada. When the recent surge of COVID hit China, both my father and brother-in-law became infected, but they quickly recovered by sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I’d like to share their stories below.
My Father Escaped the Tribulation
On December 15, 2022, my 86-year-old father in Sichuan Province had a fever, hovering between 38.5 to 39.2°C (101.3-102.6°F). I didn’t think it was serious at first. But when I made a video call and saw my father’s condition, I was really shocked.
He was lying on the sofa, covered with a quilt, panting with his mouth open. His eyes were dull and dazed, and he was very weak. His breaths were short and sharp. Usually, my father was always full of energy. Even if he was sick in the past, he never missed work or laid down.
My sister called the community hospital. They said they no longer had any fever medicine left and asked her to physically cool our father down. She managed to find a Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed some herbs and asked my father to drink it like tea.
I asked him to recite the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I also told him about two cases of rapid recovery from COVID by sincerely reciting the phrases.
In fact, this wasn’t the first time that I had tried to persuade my father to recite the phrases, but he always laughed it off, not really believing it. Unexpectedly, this time, my father blurted out immediately, “Will do.” Then he shouted loudly, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is...” before his voice trailed off. He lost the energy to say the last word, “good,” in the phrase. I sensed he must have felt extremely miserable.
After I put down the phone, I worried about my father all night. The next morning, I could hardly wait to call him again. My father was lying in bed and didn’t talk, still looking weak. But his eyes had changed – they were no longer dull and dazed, but sharp and focused. He looked peaceful and was no longer panting.
My sister told me that his fever subsided after midnight and his temperature was 36.9°C (98.4°F). His condition continued to improve during the day. Hours later, he was up and sitting on the couch watching TV. When I called him again, he looked in good spirits. He said loudly and happily, “I’ve escaped this tribulation, and I’ll keep reciting the auspicious phrases!”
My Brother-in-law Renewed His Life
After my father recovered, my sister’s husband was infected during Christmas, and was hospitalized for 3-4 days.
My brother-in-law has a tumor near his heart, and he is undergoing treatment. He also has long-term diseases such as gout and diabetes, and his immunity is weak. We had all been very worried about him with the recent surge of positive cases, and he indeed ended up catching the virus.
I made a video call with him and saw him wearing an oxygen mask, gasping for air and feeling suffocated. His eyes were in a daze and he was out of shape.
I felt sorry to see him suffering like this. My sister told me that even with oxygen, his saturation rate only reached 90% (the normal range is 95-100%). His lung was infected. The doctor said there wasn’t much they could do to help him, but only wait to see how his condition developed.
I told him to recite the auspicious phrases, and I read to him what Dafa Master said about the plague,
“But a pandemic like the current Chinese Communist Virus (or “Wuhan Virus”) comes with a purpose behind it, and it has targets. It is here to weed out members of the Party and those who have sided with it.” (“Stay Rational”)
The next day, there was not much improvement, and he was still short of breath. I remembered that he was still a Chinese Communist Party member. Years ago I had tried to persuade him to quit the Party and its youth organizations, but he didn’t have a clear attitude about it.
This time, I thoroughly clarified the truth to him, including why the Communist Party is evil and why the plague is targeting it. Then I asked him, “Do you want to quit the Party and its affiliated organizations?”
“Yes!” he nodded his head in affirmation.
He suddenly coughed violently. After he calmed down and raised his head, he was like a different person. Even though he was still short of breath, his facial complexion returned to a normal color. Particularly, his eyes were no longer dazed, but focused. He said, “I feel so much better now.”
I have heard other Falun Dafa practitioners talk about their experiences when persuading people to quit the Communist Party. Once people agreed, their whole person changed and became refreshed. This time I saw with my own eyes how my brother-in-law changed just a few minutes after he agreed to withdraw from the Party. It was really amazing.
From this encounter, my family members and I witnessed the power of the auspicious phrases. Thank you, Master!
