(Minghui.org) My husband is a senior executive. A colleague drove him home from work because he slipped and injured his foot. The injury was serious, and we took him to a hospital for a CT scan, which cost 500 yuan.
We ran into a relative who worked at the hospital while we waited for the results. After we explained why we were there, she asked the doctor to write a note: “The patient is not suitable for this examination.” She then gave us the 500 yuan back. My husband had already been examined, and the doctor gave him the diagnosis based on the images.
The doctor said that, except for his big toe, the bases of the other four toes were fractured, and there were some small bone fragments. The doctor applied a plaster cast to his foot and told him to go home and rest. We were advised that bone injuries could take three to six months to heal. When he took long walks, or it rained, he may experience pain from the bone fragments.
After we returned home, I kept thinking about the 500 yuan that our relative refunded us. Why didn’t I stop her? In today’s society, taking advantage of one’s position to help others gain small benefits seems natural. The relative said that, in the future, she hoped my husband could help her child get a position in his company. But I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner, and I really shouldn’t have done this. Master Li teaches us, “In this chaotic world, Dafa is the solution...” (“Universal Illumination” Hong Yin II )
When I looked inward, I realized I was influenced by a selfish and profit-driven attachment—I hadn’t strictly held myself to Falun Dafa’s standards of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. Recognizing my mistake was not enough. I needed to correct it. So I found a way to return the 500 yuan to the hospital.
On the way back from the hospital, I felt incredibly light and relaxed. It was a joy that comes from the elevation of one’s xinxing. I thought I did a good deed, so I told my husband about it. He suddenly sat up, his eyes turned red, and he shouted, “Are you out of your mind?!”
I said, “We took advantage of the hospital; we would be losing virtue.”
He retorted, “Losing virtue? You know how much unprincipled money the hospital makes? How many patients’ interests do they infringe upon? Who exactly are you losing virtue to? You are the biggest fool in the world!”
I wasn’t able to control myself. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I yelled back, “Yes, I’m the biggest fool! I cannot betray ‛Truthfulness!’ Others may do as they please, but I cannot!”
After I calmed down, I recalled Master’s teachings and looked inward: How did I fail to follow Dafa’s standards? Why did I not maintain my xinxing when I was suddenly confronted with conflict? It was because I could not endure being wronged or criticized. I was determined to diligently cultivate myself in this area.
The next day, my husband patted my shoulder and said, “Fools are actually the lucky ones. Fools usually get great fortune!” I know that he is very kind, and he has no bad habits. He respects elders, takes responsibility for the family, and works diligently. It’s just that our generation was poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party’s culture since we were born. We drifted along without realizing it and thought we were good people. I thought I was a good person before I began practicing Falun Dafa. I was educated and felt I was a cultured, upstanding person. But after I began practicing Dafa and measured myself with the Fa, I realized that I was far from this.
My Husband’s Amazing Recovery
Because he’s a senior executive, my husband is usually very busy. This sudden injury left him bedridden, and he became depressed. I arranged my schedule so I could take care of his daily needs. At the same time, I subtly used Dafa’s teachings to awaken his innate goodness. I shared with him a story about a practitioner’s child. On the way home from school, the child was involved in a car accident and had severe foot injuries. Following Master’s guidance, the practitioner acted selflessly and did not accuse the driver. They had no resentment and compassionately considered the driver’s circumstances. The child also frequently recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Within six days, the child recovered.
My husband was moved, although he was still a bit skeptical: “Alright, I’ll give you 10 days. I’ll follow your advice to listen to Master’s lectures. Afterward, I’ll go to the hospital for a checkup.”
Every night, I made dinner early and put his phone away so he wouldn’t be disturbed, as he normally gets many work-related calls. I said to myself, “No phone call should interfere during the time he listens to the lectures.” Miraculously, during those nine nights, there was no interference. Each night, I helped him sit on the sofa, placed his injured foot on a stool, and we listened to one lecture from Master’s teachings in Jinan.
One night, during a lecture, my husband suddenly cried out, “Ouch, ouch, it hurts!” I replied, “This is a good thing. Just focus on listening.”
On the 10th day, my husband said he felt better. He placed his plastered foot on the floor and walked a few steps. He insisted on going to the hospital for a checkup. After a brief examination, the doctor called me in. He pointed to the computer and asked with curiosity, “Are you sure this foot was fractured? I don’t see it.” I showed the doctor the previous images. He carefully examined them and said, “Yes, there were fractures and small bone fragments, but now the foot looks completely normal. If you don’t believe me, you can go to another hospital for verification.” My husband overheard it and said, “It’s fine, it’s healed. Why check again? Let’s go home!”
I was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Master. I knew he helped my husband’s bones heal. My husband soon returned to work.
My Son’s Amazing Recovery
In the winter of 2024, our child returned home from school for winter break. He planned to undergo a minor surgery during the break. While considering which hospital to go to, our relative who worked in that hospital told us she could arrange a doctor, and I could give him 500 yuan in a red envelope. This would save us more than 1,000 yuan in surgical fees. I calmly explained to my son, “Mom is a Falun Dafa practitioner. We must follow Master’s guidance and walk the righteous path. We cannot lose virtue. The divine protects kind-hearted people.” I also told him how his father’s foot miraculously healed.
My son immediately agreed. I accompanied him to the hospital, followed regular registration and payment procedures, and had the surgery. Although it was minor, it involved a sensitive area and could have caused serious discomfort. Before the surgery, my son researched extensively and felt anxious about possible complications.
After the surgery, I suggested, “While you’re resting, let’s listen to Master’s lectures together, okay?” He agreed. For the next nine nights, we listened to one lecture from Master’s Lectures in Guangzhou.
During those days, my son said he felt something flowing from the wound. He asked me several times to check the thick gauze, which was always free of blood stains.
On the 10th day, he went for a follow-up examination, and the stitches were removed. The doctor said that his recovery was excellent.
Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance have truly elevated my moral character and made me a better person. My husband and son both experienced what Master said in “Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan,” “When one person obtains the Fa, the whole family benefits.” (Explaining the Teachings of Zhuan Falun)
