(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa when I was 56 years old. The first time I opened the precious book Zhuan Falun, I read Master Li Hongzhi’s words: “Genuinely Guiding People Toward High Levels” (Lecture One in Zhuan Falun). I knew I finally found what I was looking for!
I used to suffer from frozen shoulder, and I could not lift my arm. The first day I went to a practice site and did the second exercise (Falun Standing Stance), I was able to lift my arm. My other health conditions also gradually disappeared. My complexion became rosy, and my age spots vanished. I’m 83 years old this year, but I don’t look or feel that old.
Positive Changes in My Character
Before I practiced Falun Dafa, I was hot-tempered, unforgiving, and cursed others for any reason. People were afraid of me. Whenever I lost my temper, my husband and children were frightened and avoided me. At home, I barely talked to my husband because it would lead to an argument. We had six sons, but my husband never did any housework and didn’t care about anything. I usually ignored him. After we fought, he left home and did not return for hours.
Even the community Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretary avoided me. I was competitive, always had to come out on top, and was arrogant. I didn’t have any friends.
After practicing Falun Dafa, my personality changed. I became kind and cheerful. I even apologized to the people I argued with. When my husband scolded me, I no longer retaliated. Because Master Li told me to behave according to Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance and not fight back.
When my husband had a stroke and could not take care of himself, I cared for him. I cooked whatever he wanted to eat. When he was suffering, he often held my hand and said, “I owe you so much, I will repay you in the next life!”
Before my husband died, he could only say: “I … I … ” I knew that he wanted to thank me.
Resolving Old Feuds
My husband liked to go to a neighbor’s home to play mahjong (An ancient strategy game). One day when I went there to look for him, I quarreled with his wife. Afterwards, we didn’t speak to each other for nine years. I spat at her whenever I saw her. After I began practicing Falun Dafa, however, I began greeting her and told her how good Falun Dafa is. She saw my transformation and was convinced of the greatness of Dafa. She later began practicing as well.
More than 30 years ago, I took my son to my mother’s home and stayed there for over 10 days. My mother’s home was in the mountains, more than 15 kilometers away from my home, and there was no access to public transportation. One of my old classmates lived in that village and when we returned home, he carried my son on his back. His wife misunderstood the situation and said some unsavory things. No matter how I explained it, she refused to listen. From then on, we held a grudge against each other.
After I practiced Dafa, we met again by chance and talked things over. She said she was young at that time and didn’t understand. I also apologized to her. I bought fruit and went to her home, told her about Falun Dafa, and clarified the truth about the persecution. She quit the CCP organizations. Our feud of more than 30 years had ended!
Believe in Dafa and Receive Great Blessings
Xiaojuan is my daughter-in-law’s friend, and I rented her house. Late one night when I was returning home from distributing information about Falun Dafa, I noticed she was walking down the street and with her child. I asked, “Why are you out this late?” Her child said, “I have to go to school in the morning, but my mom is not able to sleep and has to walk. I worry about her safety, so I’m following her.” Xiaojuan added, “I don’t want to walk, but I feel anxious and can’t stay inside the house!”
Xiaojuan fractured her spine years ago and spent tens of thousands of yuan on treatments. Her husband, who worked out of town, passed away soon after vomiting blood. He had spent 80,000 to 90,000 yuan in medical bills. Xiaojuan’s child was young, and she was heavily in debt.
I comforted her and told her about Falun Dafa and how many people were blessed when they said “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I gave her an informational book about Falun Dafa the next day and asked her to read it.
Shortly afterward, Xiaojuan not only recovered from her injury, but she also married a construction contractor who was well off. She later gave birth to a healthy boy, and her new husband took good care of her. Xiaojuan told me that she was in heaven and very happy!
One day, Xiaojuan came to me and told me that she had a dream: Her first husband asked her to save him. She asked, “How can I save him?” I replied, “If he joined the Communist Youth League or the Young Pioneers, we can use his real name to help him quit. This will save him!” Xiaojuan asked me to help submit her ex-husband’s name online to officially withdraw from the CCP organizations.
Master Eliminated Karma for Me
A few years ago, I woke up and needed to go to bathroom. I felt paralyzed and couldn’t stand up. My first thought was: “I can get up, I can definitely get up!” I stood up next to the bed and by holding onto the wall, I walked to the bathroom.After I returned to bed, I sent forth righteous thoughts and did the sitting meditation.
When my son came home and saw that I was up late, he asked, “Mom, what’s wrong?” I said I was fine. He called his wife and told her my situation. The next day, my daughter-in-law said that my mouth didn’t look right, and I realized what was going on—one side of my body was paralyzed (hemiplegia).
I increased the length of time I studied the Fa and did the exercises without taking a single pill. Ten days later, I was fine. I said to Master in my heart, “Master, you saved me again!”
After the COVID pandemic outbreak, a relative came to my home, and I told him the truth about Dafa and advised him to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. However, he didn’t seem to believe me. However, I noticed he continued looking at me. After a long pause, he said, “What you said might be true. You used to have many serious illnesses, but you got well without taking any medicine. Those old men and women who were hospitalized took a lot of medicines and some of them died. But you are healthy! It looks like Buddha blessed you! Please help me quit the CCP Youth League. I used to be a branch head. If I quit, maybe Buddha will bless me too!”
I am grateful for Master’s infinite grace! He showed me how to be a good person, and no words can express my gratitude.
Thank you, Master!
