(Minghui.org) I started to practice Falun Dafa at the end of 1998. Since then, I have experienced many amazing changes in my life.
One day, the water in my building was cut off due to a plumbing problem. My family had a solar water heater that stored some extra water, and my neighbor came to borrow some water for cooking. She saw me making dumplings, and I told her that my mother was in the hospital due to heart disease, and I was making some food for my sisters who came to visit.
She said, “There’s a practice called Falun Dafa which is miraculous. I practice it, and all my illnesses have been cured. Some people’s cancer was even cured after practicing Falun Dafa.” My mother is illiterate, so I thought I’d check it out myself and see if it really was as miraculous as my neighbor said. I borrowed the book Zhuan Falun from her.
As soon as I started reading, I couldn’t put the book down. The more I read, the more I loved it. I was so engrossed that sometimes I even forgot to cook. The book teaches people how to be a good person, and my worldview completely changed. I decided not to live my life so aimlessly.
At that time, I’d been really angry with one of my neighbors because of an argument. I couldn’t even sleep all night because I kept thinking about how I could get revenge on her.
After reading Zhuan Falun, I decided to approach this neighbor and reconcile with her, but every time I tried, she would stare at me coldly or even spit at me. After experiencing her insulting attitude repeatedly, I felt it was so hard that I even thought of giving up practicing Dafa.
Master says, “… as a practitioner one should not fight back when being punched or insulted, but should hold oneself to a high standard.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
After about five or six attempts to greet my neighbor, she finally responded to me. We reconciled and became friendly again.
Later, this neighbor’s sister urgently needed some money, but no one would lend it to her. Then she came to me and, to her surprise, I lent her the money without hesitation. My thought was, “I am a practitioner, and I must follow Master’s teachings. Her sister must be in a difficult situation.” My neighbor was very moved. Afterward, she told everyone about my amazing changes after practicing Dafa and agreed that Dafa is truly wonderful!
Falun Dafa transformed me from a selfish, narrow-minded, competitive person into a selfless, considerate one. My diseases also disappeared. Because of my transformation, my husband and child have also started practicing Dafa.
Falun Dafa is not just an ordinary practice. It is the Buddha Fa, a truly unique and profound cultivation path that guides people in their spiritual journey! We are incredibly fortunate to have obtained it!
As a Dafa disciple, I cannot fully express my gratitude to Master in words. I can only strive for continuous self-improvement and cultivate a more compassionate and kind heart.
