(Minghui.org) Although the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been persecuting Falun Dafa and its practitioners for 24 years, many people understand that it is a righteous cultivation practice and support it because of the adherents’ persistent efforts to raise awareness.
Town Mayor Is Saved by Falun Dafa, Protects a Practitioner
My daughter worked in the local town hall and got to know the mayor well. The mayor was in her 40s when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The doctor suggested surgical removal of the tumor, which terrified the mayor so much she could barely eat. Before long, she became emaciated.
Knowing that I had some connections with local doctors, the mayor asked if I could help her find a doctor for a second opinion about her condition. Instead, I went to the hospital and talked with the mayor.
I persuaded her that rather than going through the painful medical procedures, she could try reciting the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Although modern medicine couldn’t explain it, many patients have recovered from various ailments by reciting the phrases. She agreed to give it a try.
I also explained to her the importance of quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I said that being a member of the CCP brings bad luck to people, as the regime has been very evil in its treatment of the Chinese people. Being a member of the CCP means one supports its totalitarian rule. She agreed to quit her Party membership.
The mayor later shared with me that after she quit the CCP, she immediately felt better. She also said she recited the phrases. To her surprise, the result of her checkup showed that her tumor turned benign and surgery was no longer needed. We believe that she was blessed for her sincere faith in Falun Dafa. These days, she is energetic and has a rosy complexion.
One day, she had my son warn me that I needed to be careful over the next few days. “The officials from above will send someone to go after Falun Dafa practitioners. Tell your mother to put away (Falun Dafa related) things at home, and to not go out (to talk to people about Falun Dafa).” My son quickly passed the message to me. I really appreciate her secretly protecting me and my family.
Elderly Woman Understands the Truth and Stops Swearing at Practitioners
An elderly woman lives in the same district as I do and believed the CCP’s propaganda about Falun Dafa. She knew that I was a practitioner and would sometimes gather a few people to swear at me and another practitioner when we went out to clarify the truth. They would even say that we did not deserve to take Chinese buses but should use the American buses instead (she also treats the U.S. as an enemy due to CCP brainwashing about foreign forces trying to destroy China). I just ignored her. Also, I wasn’t annoyed—I felt sorry for her.
After she swore at us a few times, I figured that I could not let her continue to do such a bad thing because it wasn’t good for her. One day I ran into her and I silently asked Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) to strengthen my righteous thoughts and give me wisdom to talk with the woman. I walked toward her and greeted her. She ignored me. I began to talk about Falun Dafa, but she refused to listen. However she didn’t swear at me.
The second time I talked to her, I suggested that she treat Falun Dafa practitioners kindly: “We are good people who strive to be better. When we go out, we are not doing bad things, we are trying to awaken people. Look at me, I used to have poor health. After I practiced Falun Dafa, I recovered from rheumatic disease, stomach pain, and sequelae from a previous stroke. I have been illness-free ever since. I have not required any medicine in the past twenty-plus years.”
After that, her hostile attitude softened quite a bit. She told me that she had a headache that lasted for years. I said to her: “As long as you sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ you will see an improvement in your health. What you recite is the truth in Buddha Law, and the Buddha will bless you.”
In the end she followed my suggestion and quit the CCP. She also promised to treat Falun Dafa and its adherents with respect and kindness.
