(Minghui.org) I began a new life when I started practicing Falun Dafa in May 1999. After a short time, the various ailments that had tormented me for many years, such as an ovarian tumor, headaches, and body aches disappeared one by one. I reached the state of being illness-free and lighthearted.
I still remember how my ovarian tumor was removed. Soon after I started practicing, the ovarian tumor that could move around began to hurt again one night. I pinched the fist-sized lump with my hand and fell asleep in a daze. As I slept, I saw two men in white coats standing in front of me, and they started grabbing things from my lesion and throwing them on the ground. I also saw a long arm pulling substances out and throwing them away. I woke up all of a sudden and quickly touched my stomach. It was flat and the lump was gone. I kept stroking my belly to feel for the tumor, but the lump had truly disappeared. It was Master Li (Falun Dafa’s founder) who removed the tumor for me. I was so excited that I stayed up all night!
Family Turmoil After My Son’s Car Accident
After my youngest son got married, he lived with us. He was a driver, transporting and delivering goods. My daughter-in-law also had a job. Before they came back home from work, I would prepare dinner and set aside the meal for my daughter-in-law’s lunch for the next day. After dinner, I would do the cleaning. In this way, my family lived in harmony and peace.
In 2001, my son was driving out of town, and his truck overturned. He was seriously injured and admitted to a hospital. After seeing him lying there, I was heartbroken. He lost all his teeth, his right jaw was torn open with bones exposed, and he lost feeling in his injured right arm. He also received more than 10 stitches on his cervical spine. The hospital said that my son’s arm would heal, but a week later, the doctor said, “We have no cure for his arm, please transfer him to another hospital!”
My son was transferred to a military hospital. But due to the delay in treatment, the doctor told us that the tendon in my son’s right arm could not be reconnected, and it was impossible to save the arm. The most important thing was to save the other three limbs. Water had entered his spine, which could put pressure on the nerves and easily disable the other three limbs. I begged Master in my heart to save my son.
Under careful treatment, my son’s other limbs were saved. The forearm of his right arm lost function. We then ran out of money and couldn’t afford the medical expenses, so my son had to be discharged and returned home to slowly recover. I knew it was Master who saved my son, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous. It is true that “When one person obtains the Fa, the whole family benefits.” (“Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan,” Explaining the Teachings of Zhuan Falun)
A few days after my son returned home, I noticed that my daughter-in-law’s expression was not quite right. Shortly afterward, she said she was going back to her mother’s and asked me for the fare. Since I had borrowed a lot of money for my son’s hospitalization, I told her I had no money. She became upset, and the next day she left without telling anyone, leaving behind her husband and two-year-old daughter.
My Daughter-in-Law Inexplicably Returns
I had just come out of grief from my son’s car accident and now received another blow. My mood was indescribable. Looking at my son with a pained expression, I felt like weeping but had no tears. A happy family was broken up by a car accident.
I finally thought of a passage from Master’s Fa:
“Why do you encounter these problems? They are all caused by your own karma.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
“These are all your own tribulations that we use to improve your xinxing, and you will be able to overcome them.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
I knew I must cheer up, shoulder the burden of the family, face the situation calmly, and help my son break out of the torment of sentimentality as soon as possible.
I took care of my son and granddaughter, as well as a 98-year-old uncle. No one in my uncle’s family could take care of him. My cousin paid me to be his caretaker. Faced with this situation, without the support of Dafa and Master’s protection, how could I have endured the tribulation?
I was like a spinning top, busy with this and that, and couldn’t relax. When our granddaughter cried after waking up from a nap, she stood at the door with bare feet and called for her mom. The neighbors would say: “Who would want such a mother who doesn’t care for her husband and child?”
One year passed in the blink of an eye. Then one day, my son told me that my daughter-in-law was coming back and asked him to pick her up at the bus station. My heart trembled, as inexplicable feelings passed through me. I calmed down and said to my son: “I’ll go with you to pick her up. She has been away for so long and might feel embarrassed about returning home.”
Master said,
“They are in a state of immense tolerance, of mercy toward all beings, and of being able to understand everything with kindness.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2002 Conference in Boston, U.S.A.”, Collected Teachings Given Around the World, Vol. II)
Master’s Fa echoed in my ears for a long time. If I hadn’t practiced Falun Dafa, I would never have offered to do that.
After my daughter-in-law returned home, she underwent radical changes. The fact that I went to pick her up at the bus station touched her. From then on, my family has lived happily.
They later bought a new home, and my daughter-in-law invited me to live with them. I said, “Let’s talk about it later.” The most important thing I have to do is to follow Master’s words and help awaken more people.
When I was studying the Fa recently, a very bright star flashed past my eyes and landed on the word “properly.” I carefully looked back at the sentence,
“As long as you treat yourself as a practitioner, you can handle it properly.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun).
Master was giving me hints and encouraging me!
