(Minghui.org) My husband and I have practiced Falun Dafa for more than 20 years. When we introduced the practice to people around us, many of them held positive views about it or took up the practice themselves. Below is the story of my mother-in-law and the blessings she received from supporting Falun Dafa.
My mother-in-law had no formal education. She was a quiet person and treated others with kindness and honesty. She worked hard and did not complain when she encountered hardships. My husband is the oldest of her five children. After my father-in-law passed away, we asked her to live with us so we could take care of her.
In the seven years she lived with us, she witnessed how I went from being a sickly person, to being healthy, optimistic, and energetic. She also saw how we got through difficulties with the guidance of the Falun Dafa teachings. She truly believed that Falun Dafa is good.
We live in a city far from our hometown. One day she decided to go back home because she believed that it was where she belonged. We did what she wanted and moved her there. One day we got a call saying that she had bladder cancer and had been hospitalized. My husband rushed home and arranged comprehensive treatments for her. After a while he called me and said that she might not survive. The urine drainage bag attached to her was filled with dead tissue and the doctor declared that she had three months left to live.
I told my husband not to panic and to have her recite the phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good.” My mother-in-law gladly did so because of her belief that Falun Dafa was an upright cultivation system. Her pain and symptoms gradually subsided.
Her doctor discharged her from the hospital since she could not be operated on, nor were there any other suitable treatments. He reminded her to keep the drainage bag on and to frequently replace the urethral catheter. A month after she returned home she accidentally pulled out the catheter and then realized that she could urinate without it. When we took her to the hospital for a checkup, we were surprised to be told that the bladder cancer had disappeared.
Believing that she had been blessed by Dafa, my mother-in-law wore a Dafa amulet that a practitioner had given her and often knelt on her bed to thank Master Li and recite the two phrases.
When she learned that her older sister was ill and had lost the sight in both eyes, she knelt on her bed and asked Master to help her sister. Her sister later said that she felt better and regained sight in one eye. When my mother-in-law told us the story, we were glad to know that she had again demonstrated her unwavering faith in Dafa.
In her later years my mother-in-law, other than having an occasional cold, lived a happy and healthy life. One day she fell and cracked her hip bone. The doctor said that it would heal itself. While she was at the hospital, the doctor did some routine blood tests on her and all the results were normal.
One summer night the temperature was higher than normal. She went to bed after having dinner and eating some grapes, which were her favorite fruit. At midnight, my younger sister went to wake her up so she could urinate. She did not wake up. She had left us in her sleep without any pain or suffering. She was 91 that year. I believe that she was blessed with a good life and longevity because of her firm belief in Falun Dafa.
