(Minghui.org) It has been 26 years since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution of Falun Dafa. During this time, I have experienced both pain and suffering, as well as blessings from Master. I would like to share some of my cultivation experiences with fellow practitioners and report to our compassionate Master.
Obtaining the Fa
In 1996, a colleague of my husband gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun. At first, he didn’t pay much attention to it and put it in a drawer. Later, while I was watching a TV series, I took the book from the drawer and started reading it. The more I read the more I wanted to read, and when I read Lecture Two, I couldn’t help but shed tears.
I was born in a relatively well-off family and enjoyed a comfortable childhood, free from hardship. Later, I started working at a well-paid state-owned enterprise, where I met my husband. He, too, came from a well-off family and was very kind to me.
However, in my early 40s, I began to experience various health problems such as bone hyperplasia, lumbar disc herniation, sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, knee pain, enlarged and deformed finger joints, hyperlipidemia, multiple uterine fibroids, Ménière’s disease, insomnia, stomach pain, and migraines.
When I had migraine attacks, the pain was so severe that I often vomited repeatedly. At times, I needed to be put on a drip. I even considered jumping off the building when the pain became unbearable. In view of my poor health, my workplace arranged for me to work only half days.
After reading two lectures in Zhuan Falun, my sleep improved significantly, and my appetite also improved. I felt much more energetic and was able to do more household chores. Soon, I discovered a local practice site and began doing the exercises with others. Shortly after, during menstruation, I noticed many egg-sized blood clots. I experienced pain for three days, then it stopped. At a later checkup, I was amazed to learn that many of my uterine fibroids had disappeared. I knew that Master had cleansed my body.
From then on, I have conducted myself by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and continue doing the exercises every day. Not long after, all my other health problems also disappeared, and I truly experienced the joy of being free from illness.
Cultivating Xinxing
When my mother-in-law passed away, my husband and his younger brother arranged the funeral together. However, his younger brother took all the contribution money and simply gave us a copy of the account for future reference.
My husband got rather angry, thinking his younger brother had gone too far with what he did, and he wanted to argue with him.
I thought, “I’m a Dafa practitioner. Everything happens for a reason. We won’t lose what is truly ours, and we should not argue for what isn’t.”
So I said to my husband, “Don’t get too upset over such things. Maybe we owed your younger brother something in our previous life, and let’s just take it as paying back the debt.”
My husband and I have a very good relationship, built on trust. When I spoke to him, he immediately calmed down, and the dispute between the brothers vanished into thin air.
After my mother-in-law passed away, my father-in-law hired a housekeeper to assist with his daily living. He was living in an apartment on the third floor and found the stairs a bit difficult. He told the two brothers about it and asked them to find a solution.
We owned two houses, but neither suited the elderly man’s needs because both had stairs. My husband’s younger brother had a number of properties, including apartments with lifts, yet he didn’t offer any for him to live in, and claimed he had sold all his properties.
My husband was very angry with his brother and complained to me about him. I said to him, “Don’t worry. We can renovate our spare house according to the elderly man’s requirements by leveling the steps and doing a complete refurbishment.”
I invested over 10,000 yuan in the renovation and invited my father-in-law to move in. He was very happy. Although he had a housekeeper to take care of him, I visited him frequently and bought him food, drinks, clothing, and other necessities. Even though he didn’t require many material comforts, our caring and kindness made him feel less lonely and much valued and loved.
I am his eldest daughter-in-law and a Dafa practitioner. I always keep Master’s teachings in mind, and try to be considerate of others and not compete or fight to gain with pursuit.
Sometimes, following Master’s requirements is easier said than done. Nevertheless, I have always tried my best, and throughout the process, I have felt the changes within myself. My heart has expanded, and I have become more broad-minded and optimistic. Seeing the positive changes in me, my husband also supports me in what I do in Dafa projects.
During the New Year, we welcomed my father-in-law to our house and invited my husband’s younger brother and his wife to join us. I prepared the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner all by myself, while my younger brother’s wife didn’t offer any help. I didn’t take it to heart and made sure everyone felt welcomed.
On New Year’s Day, my father-in-law unexpectedly developed diarrhea and soiled his pants. The younger brother's wife kept at a distance and turned her head away. My husband couldn’t stand the smell, so he just helped pull down his father’s pants with his head averted. His younger brother also kept a distance while passing some toilet paper to me as I cleaned up the mess. Strangely, I didn’t smell anything offensive during the entire process.
It wasn’t a big deal, but all these little things in our daily lives helped me cultivate my xinxing based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, with no grievances or regrets.
I also feel very grateful to my family members and relatives for providing me with the opportunities to improve my xinxing, so that I can rise above worldly conventions to embody the true virtues of a filial daughter-in-law and a virtuous wife in the traditional sense. Dafa has given me a new life, both physically and spiritually, and transformed me into someone who is kind, resilient, and of high moral character. Thank you, Master!
Clarifying the Truth to Save Sentient Beings
When the evil persecution started, I was initially confused and couldn’t understand why such a wonderful practice was suppressed, smeared, and attacked. Soon, I calmed down and reflected on how Falun Dafa helped me elevate both physically and morally. I resolved to continue on the path of Dafa cultivation, and to step forward to clarify the truth to people who were deceived by the lies of the CCP.
My workplace initially assigned me to work in the finance section, but I applied to work as a doorkeeper for a section from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm. This schedule allowed me ample spare time to work with fellow practitioners. Each morning, we clarified the truth and studied the Fa in the afternoon, undeterred by the harsh winter weather.
I never choose whom to clarify the truth to—I simply speak with whoever I come across, and very often, as soon as I finish talking with one person, the next one would appear. At times, I was so busy talking to people that I couldn’t even pause for a sip of water, even when my mouth was dry from talking.
During the summer, the oppressive heat often felt like a sauna, yet I never allowed myself to slack off. I always remembered what Master had reminded us of; most human beings are lives from higher realms, and they had come into this world of delusion to hear the truth so that they can return to the heavenly paradise from which they came.
Resilience, persistence, and a refusal to give up are core aspects of my personality. These traits have helped me play a positive role in our truth-clarification project.
I was unlawfully detained by the CCP for clarifying the truth to people. After my release, I took up the responsibility to deliver truth-clarification materials. With more and more practitioners stepping out to clarify the truth to people, sometimes demand exceeded supply, so I set up a materials production site at home with the help of fellow practitioners, which continues to operate today.
During the persecution, my husband has experienced much pressure, but he always supports my Dafa cultivation and efforts to save people, and he was ultimately blessed as a result.
My Husband Was Blessed For Supporting Me
During a get-together with friends in a small restaurant, my husband suddenly collapsed and became unresponsive, with his teeth tightly clenched. At the time, I was out clarifying the truth and didn’t have my phone with me. Fortunately, one of his friends knew my husband’s younger brother and contacted him. He managed to call and took my husband to the hospital.
Doctors took a look at him and said: He won’t make it. There is no point trying to save him. Even if he is saved, he would be in a vegetative state.”
My husband’s younger brother became visibly upset. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted at the doctors, “You must save him even if he ends up in a vegetative state!”
During this time, my husband gradually regained consciousness and repeated in his mind, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
The doctors immediately began to save him. Soon, my husband could move his eyes, and he became even clearer-headed. He continuously recited the two phrases in his heart, and his condition steadily improved.
He was discharged from the hospital the following day. After two weeks of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, he fully recovered without any after effects, and is still living a normal life. Dafa not only saved his life but also helped him reduce his bad karma, giving him a second chance at life.
Thank you, Master! We all miss you deeply! We sincerely hope that we can reunite with Master soon, and overseas fellow practitioners can also return home and reunite with their loved ones. We hope more people will grasp the precious opportunity to learn the truth and be saved. Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
