(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa with my sister-in-law and aunt in August 1998. At the time, I only knew the practice helped to resolve illnesses and improve one’s health.
In March 2016, my oldest granddaughter, who was three months old, frequently had convulsions. She was examined at Harbin Medical University’s pediatric department, but no issues were found. When my daughter-in-law held the infant in her arms, her convulsions seemed to ease, but as soon as she put her down, the convulsions worsened.
My daughter-in-law felt she couldn’t handle it, and asked her mother and me to stay home and take care of the child. Her mother and I blamed her, saying that she wasn’t capable of taking care of the baby, which prevented both of us from working. My daughter-in-law felt wronged and cried herself to sleep. The next day, she woke up with facial paralysis—half of her face was paralyzed. She couldn’t smile or cry and when she slept, the eye on the paralyzed side wouldn’t close.
Her mother and I suggested she go to a hospital. But she was angry and wouldn’t listen. After an entire day and night passed, her condition worsened. I told her: “You have two choices: either go to a hospital, or practice Falun Dafa.” She was afraid of acupuncture and injections, so she decided to practice Dafa.
She started by practicing the first, third, and fourth exercises. When she did the second set (holding the wheel), she felt tired and was worried that she couldn’t finish. But with my encouragement, she completed it. At that moment, the media player for the exercise music ran out of battery power. Her mother, who was standing nearby, then looked at her daughter’s face and saw it had returned to normal.
For an ordinary person encountering this kind of situation, it might take two to three months of acupuncture treatment to recover, and even then, achieving 80% recovery would be considered very good. But after she practiced four Falun Dafa exercises, a miracle happened. From then on, my daughter-in-law firmly believed in Dafa and assisted practitioners in clarifying the truth.
My Mother-In-Law Recovers from a Femoral Head Fracture
My mother-in-law, who was 78 years old that autumn, fell and fractured her left femoral head and neck. She was taken to a hospital in Harbin city. Because she was elderly and had a weak constitution, coupled with severe osteoporosis, the doctors said that even if they tried to insert steel pins, they wouldn’t hold. Conservative treatment was the only option, and the chances of her being able to stand were very slim. My son said that as long as grandma could sit up, it would be fine—at least she could sit in a wheelchair and go outside to get some sunlight.
When my oldest sister-in-law heard the doctor’s prognosis, she felt the money for treatment would be wasted because, after all, her mother still might not be able to stand up. She suggested that it would be better to discharge her from the hospital and take care of her mother at home. In the end, the family decided to proceed with conservative treatment in the hospital. Ten days later, there was still no improvement, so my oldest brother-in-law took his mother home.
After my mother-in-law was hospitalized, I kept encouraging her to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” At first, she wasn’t fully convinced but, as soon as she started reciting, her pain lessened. My husband, who is also a practitioner, told his mother to just recite it, and Master would definitely take care of her. Master said, “... with one person practicing, the whole family benefits ...” (Teachings at the Conference in Australia)
My mother-in-law was still worried and said, “I didn’t treat my daughter-in-law well in the past, will her Master take care of me?” I replied: “Master is compassionate toward all beings, and he will definitely take care of you.”
When my mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital, the doctor said that it would take at least 100 days before she could get out of bed. However, after she sincerely believed Master could save her and earnestly asked for help, she was able to get out of bed on the 80th day and could walk with her son’s help. By the 100th day, she fully recovered and everything was back to normal.
Seeing how well she recovered, I asked her, “Mom, how did you ask for Master’s help?” She replied, “I recited like this: ‘Master Li, please save me. I truly believe that Falun Dafa is good. I was not kind to my daughter-in-law in the past, but after she began practicing, she didn’t hold a grudge against me. She treated me sincerely and has shown me respect and filial piety (loyalty). My daughter-in-law is your disciple; please, for her sake, look after me and save me.’”
After this experience, my mother-in-law believed in Dafa. During the pandemic, she never tested positive for COVID-19. She is 82 years old this year, and her health is excellent.
My Niece Recovers from Heart Disease
I have a niece who is a medical doctor. When she was 18, an old man told her fortune and predicted that she would live until the age of 40, after which there would be no more predictions. The implication was that she might not live past 40. At the time, she didn’t pay much attention to it. When she turned 40, she began to experience discomfort in her heart, but she just took some medication to manage it.
When she was 42 years old, her heart discomfort intensified. When she arrived at the cardiology department of Harbin Medical University, she fainted and had to be resuscitated. The doctors diagnosed her with acute heart failure. They said her condition was very serious and that her family would need to sign consent forms every couple of hours, as it seemed she was at risk of dying at any moment.
The COVID pandemic was severe, and my niece’s husband, who is also a doctor, was working at another hospital and couldn’t leave. A relative who was helping to care for her could only stay for one day and night before she felt it was too much. On the fourth day, her condition showed some improvement and, by the seventh day, the doctors decided to discharge her, saying that there was nothing more they could do. They advised her to go home and rest.
My niece’s heart ejection fraction (EF) was 36% (the normal range is 50-70%). Her creatinine level was much higher than normal, and her kidneys were in a state of failure. Due to her heart condition, her liver was also affected. When she was discharged, she couldn’t even walk from one room to another. An elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor advised her to go to Harbin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to see a top specialist and just focus on saving her life before thinking about treating the illness.
The day after my niece was discharged, I went to her home and asked if she wanted to practice Falun Dafa. She didn’t respond. On the third day, my niece went to Harbin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When she returned, she couldn’t stop weeping. She said the doctor told her that her blood ejection fraction would never exceed 50%, and that it would be good if she could just maintain her current condition. She remembered the fortune-teller from years ago and was depressed.
My niece’s mother also practices Falun Dafa, so we decided to encourage her to learn Dafa. After a night of reflection, she decided to start studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. About 10 days later, even though she hadn’t finished reading Zhuan Falun the second time, she felt a significant improvement in her symptoms.
She went back to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The professor, along with a group of intern doctors, studied her condition and found it very strange. It was impossible, they thought, for her blood ejection fraction to reach 56% in such a short time, for her kidney creatinine levels to return to normal, and for her liver to be healthy again—everything was normal!
My niece was so moved that she cried, but then she smiled through her tears. At the time, she didn’t dare to tell the professor that she recovered by practicing Falun Dafa. To this day, her health remains excellent, and she lives her life according to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
My Niece’s Husband Recovers from a Stroke
My niece’s husband suddenly had a stroke in the winter of 2023. After three days in a hospital, his condition was diagnosed, and he received injections for seven days. The doctors said he should be transferred to a rehabilitation hospital. He was mentally confused, saw double images, and couldn’t understand phone conversations. He also had difficulty walking and needed someone to support him. The doctors said it would take at least six months for him to fully recover.
After he was discharged from the hospital, his family arranged for a doctor to give him acupuncture and massage treatments. My husband encouraged him to study Dafa’s teachings and practice the exercises. So, during the day, he received acupuncture and massage, and in the evenings, he studied Zhuan Falun with my husband and practiced the five sets of the exercises. After 10 days, my husband couldn’t keep up with him when they walked. Just over a month after he was discharged, he was able to drive to deliver vegetables, and everything returned to normal.
The four stories above are all miracles that happened to people around me. I’m sharing them to tell people that Falun Dafa is a great and virtuous practice. In the face of the pandemic and many other tribulations, those who sincerely believe in Falun Dafa will be protected by gods and Buddhas, turning misfortune into blessings and danger into safety.
Falun Dafa is practiced in over 100 countries around the world and the main book, Zhuan Falun, has been translated into dozens of languages. It’s available for free download on the Internet. I sincerely hope that more Chinese people, like my relatives and friends, can be protected under Falun Dafa’s guidance, ensuring their safety, health, and a bright future.
