(Minghui.org) I used to be in poor health and suffered from hyperthyroidism, kidney stones, and other ailments. When the illnesses struck, I experienced rapid heartbeat, my hands would shake, and I couldn’t hold onto things. When affected by the kidney stones, I would sweat profusely and couldn’t straighten my back. I suffered a lot, and life was very painful.
In June 1997, I was introduced to Falun Dafa. After a few days of doing the exercises, a small stone was expelled, and all my ailments eventually disappeared. Master Li purified my body. I am so grateful from the bottom of my heart.
I’m introverted and don’t like socializing. I didn’t have strong opinions, but I loved to argue for some reason. After getting married, I lived with my in-laws because my husband was the only son in the family. He has four sisters, and the eldest one was married at the time.
We would often have quarrels and disputes over trivial matters. My sister-in-law often spoke unfavorably of me behind my back. I couldn’t stand it. When my husband came back, my sister-in-law would bully and criticize me. My husband only came back once a week as he worked out of town. He said I didn’t do well, as if to mean, “If you do well, they won’t do this to you.” I couldn’t help but wonder why I had such a family?
I realized through studying the Fa that I may have treated my sister-in-law and my husband like this in my previous life. If you owe a debt, you have to pay it back. Dafa practitioners have no enemies, they are good to everyone, consider others before themselves, and, as Master said, “As cultivators, you won’t fight back when you’re beaten or sworn at.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)
I strictly followed the standards of Master’s Fa and required myself to cultivate my mind and be a good person.
Gradually, I became more tolerant, more considerate, and treated everyone like family. I lived with my parents-in-law in harmony for all these years. I took good care of them without complaint. They lived happily and had no worries.
During the Chinese New Year holiday, my sister-in-laws came to celebrate. They were so glad to see that their parents were so well taken care of. Everyone toasted me at the dinner table. I told them that it was what I should do. Under my influence, they all quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
Another time, I went to my hometown in the countryside and met a practitioner named Han. Han said that he often worked with my sister-in-law. Han once told my sister-in-law the truth about Dafa, and said, “Falun Dafa is good, and quitting the CCP will ensure your safety.”
My sister-in-law responded, “I know Dafa is good. My sister-in-law studies Dafa. She treats us well and takes good care of my parents. We are all very grateful. Only those who study Dafa can do such great things.” I felt happy upon hearing this. Master was encouraging me through her words.
Thank you Master!
