(Minghui.org) All my illnesses were cured after I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2008, except that I started to get carsick. Over the years, I have been looking inward: why did I start to get motion sickness after all my illnesses were cured? It took me 15 years of cultivation to get rid of my hatred for my in-laws and my resentment towards my husband. Finally, since 2023, I no longer get carsick.
My husband’s family didn’t give me anything when we got married. The house we lived in was converted from a warehouse and had many leaks. The winter in northeast China is very cold, and the house was not warm no matter how much coal we put on the fire. We saved enough money and built a new house when my daughter was four years old. But my father-in-law told all our relatives and neighbors that he built the new house for us, when we did it with our own money. I was so angry that I had a heart attack. I took medicine for a long time but it didn’t heal me completely. I was sickly ever since then.
My father-in-law gave new houses when my three brothers-in-law and one sister-in-law got married. My husband was the only child who was not given a new house. This caused me to hate my in-laws even more. My father-in-law passed away about half a year after I obtained the Fa. I did not attend the funeral because I still resented him very much.
My daughter has been weak since she was young. She didn’t have much strength in her left arm because her left shoulder blade hurt when she tried to use it. A bone-setting expert told me that my daughter’s left shoulder blade must have been dislocated when she was one or two years old. He said that even if she had the bones reset, there was no guarantee that it would be the same as the right arm. I hated my mother-in-law even more after hearing this, because she never helped me take care of my daughter for a single day. We had to send my daughter to a daycare when she was only one year old. I hated my mother-in-law so much that I felt dizzy, and I also resented my husband even more as a result.
After I obtained the Fa, my daughter also started practicing Falun Dafa. After she practiced Dafa for a short time, the pain in her left shoulder was gone.
A few years ago, my mother-in-law wanted to give me 10,000 yuan (US $1,382) to make up for the grievances I had suffered over the years. I knew that she desired to do something good for me because I treated her well after I began practicing Falun Dafa and I took good care of her. However, I didn’t take the money because I had not gotten rid of my resentment. I also didn’t want her to feel good in her heart.
Last year, my motion sickness worsened, which prevented me from clarifying the truth. I studied the Fa extensively and looked within, but I couldn’t find the answer because I didn’t want to deal with the resentment I was harboring. Every time I searched within, I would bypass the resentment.
Master saw that I really didn’t enlighten to the issue, so he used my husband’s mouth to point out my attachment. I finally had to face my resentment and knew I should get rid of it. The process of getting rid of it was very painful and took several tries.
I cooked for my mother-in-law every few days. At first, I was angry and treated her badly. Later, I suppressed my anger and forced myself to be nice to her. Slowly, I felt no anger and was able to face her calmly. One day, I suddenly felt that my mother-in-law was really pitiful. I got rid of my resentment towards her and her family. Since then, I no longer get carsick.
I went out and clarified the truth again, and I was able to open my mouth and talk to strangers. I made a breakthrough. In the past, I couldn’t speak out or know what to say. When fellow practitioners clarified the truth, I’d sent forth righteous thoughts.
I wouldn’t have been able to make it to seventeen years of cultivation without Master’s protection. Every improvement I’ve made is because Master helps me enlighten to things. Thank you, Master! Thank you, Falun Dafa!
