(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1997. My husband, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and three sisters-in-law also practiced. We benefited a lot from Dafa and enjoyed a very good cultivation environment in our big family.

My mother-in-law was lame in one leg and blind in one eye, but 20 days after she began practicing, she was fine. My father-in-law also recovered from a work-related injury that paralyzed him for more than 18 years. Their miraculous recoveries became local news. Witnessing their miracles, my sisters-in-law and I also started to practice Falun Dafa.

Unfortunately, I believe that the old forces seized upon their human attachments, and my husband, mother-in-law, and father-in-law passed away. My husband died on April 25 and my father-in-law died on July 20, both are special days for Falun Dafa practitioners. Their deaths really affected me and I started to slack off in cultivation.

Master’s new article, “How Humankind Came to Be” was published during Chinese New Year in 2023, and was a huge wake-up call for me. I realized that I must change my attitude from negative to diligent; otherwise, I would let Master down.

In the past, I was busy making a living and had difficulty keeping up with reading the teachings (the Fa) and doing the exercises. The hour-long version of exercise two was released years ago, but I never tried to do it. The attachment to comfort made me afraid because I considered it too difficult.

I took a two-month break from work, and stayed home to read the teachings intensively and practice the exercises every day. Other practitioners also encouraged me and read the Fa with me.

I decided to face my fear of pain and hardship by trying to see why I avoided doing the one hour version of the second exercise. I felt I was lazy. I also realized that my fear of hardship was not my true self. In fact, fear was an obstacle that blocked me for years. I want to be diligent, so I should gladly endure hardship. When I thought about it, doing the second exercise was not a hardship. During my first attempt at doing the exercise for an hour, I remembered what Master said:

“When it’s difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it’s impossible to do, you can do it.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)

I encouraged myself to persist. With Master’s blessing, I completed the hour-long exercise. Afterwards I felt very light and relaxed, which was totally different from my imaginary fear. I was so grateful to Master!

Now that I have kept up with Fa-study, I can do the exercises and my character has also improved. I feel very bad about all the time I wasted in the past.

Thank you Master for your compassion and protection throughout my cultivation! Thank you fellow practitioners for your selfless help! In the future I will work hard to keep up with the Fa-rectification’s progress and go home with Master.
