(Minghui.org) Before I began practicing Falun Dafa in November 1998, I placed great importance on fame, profit, and emotional attachments. I was competitive and eager to win, thus I accumulated a lot of karma and suffered from a host of physical ailments—including chronic gastritis, arthritis, insufficient blood supply to the liver, and an enlarged spleen. What I found most unbearable, however, was a gynecological condition; the pain was sometimes so severe that I could not sleep.
Less than three months after I began practicing Dafa, all my illnesses were gone. Through these physical transformations and the elevation of my moral character, I experienced the joy of being completely free of disease—that sensation of being light as a feather—and, with my true nature awakened, I understod the true meaning of human existence.
I began holding myself to Falun Dafa’s standards of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I was no longer a selfish, self-centered person who avoided being taken advantage of. I placed others’ interests first. As my xinxing improved, I understood that people are bound by karmic ties. In the past, I stopped speaking to neighbors due to conflicts over trivial matters. I was also embroiled in bitter disputes with my sisters-in-law due to housing issues.
After I began practicing Dafa I reconciled with everyone. When my mother-in-law fell ill—and given that my sisters-in-law’s children were still young and they were all very busy—I brought my mother-in-law to my home and took care of her. Before my husband began cultivating he had a terrible temper that terrified our children. Whenever he was home our son refused to enter the house. After my husband and I began practicing Falun Dafa our family became harmonious. Joyful smiles returned to our children’s faces, and our family members witnessed firsthand the positive changes in us as well as the beauty of Falun Dafa. They all said, “Falun Dafa is good.”
My Family Is Blessed
After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Dafa in July 1999, my husband and I validated Dafa. Whether we were illegally sentenced to forced labor or held in detention, our family members silently endured immense pressure while continuing to support our cultivation and our efforts to clarify the truth. They never once complained. Over the past twenty-plus years, they have been blessed by Falun Dafa. I also frequently remind them that, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they should always remember, “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance is good.” They believe this, and they benefited immensely.
From the time I began practicing Dafa until now—whether it involved eliminating karma or passing trials—my family members witnessed the miraculous power of Dafa. For twenty-six years I haven’t taken a single pill. At one point I had a severe toothache—so intense that I could not lie down in bed at night; I had to remain seated all night long, I barely managed to doze off for a few brief moments. To make matters worse, half of my face swelled, causing excruciating pain that radiated through my entire upper body. My body broke out in numerous blisters—resembling severe burns—that were both itchy and burning hot. My daughter-in-law, pained to see me suffer, urged me to go to a hospital. I told her that if I studied the Fa and practiced the exercises, the ordeal would pass in a few days. I endured the pain and carried on with my daily tasks as usual; sure enough a few days later, the symptoms vanished. When my daughter-in-law saw that I recovered, she exclaimed, “Dafa is truly extraordinary! You got better without taking any medicine!”
I was riding my bicycle to run some errands when a car suddenly sped out from a side road on my right and crashed into me. My bicycle and I were knocked to the ground. I was momentarily disoriented. When I opened my eyes I was pinned underneath the car. Bystanders rushed over, hurriedly pulled me from under the vehicle, and asked if I was injured. The driver was terrified and thought that he killed me. But, I emerged completely unscathed. My bicycle was wrecked. The driver anxiously asked how I was. I told him, “I practice Falun Dafa. My Master protected me.” I knew Master protected me from being killed and paid off that karmic debt on my behalf.
Despite the persecution my family members supported my husband and I without a single complaint or word of grievance. Sometimes, when we went out to clarify the truth the children said, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I knew that by acknowledging Dafa they laid a good foundation for their futures.
A mining cart derailed while my son was at work. He had to use a crowbar to push it back onto the tracks; however, due to the immense force he applied, the crowbar slipped. He fell on the tracks, and the crowbar struck him directly on the cheekbone. The situation was extremely perilous. He was not harmed. His face was bruised and healed completely within a few days. He told me, “One of my coworkers had a similar accident and suffered a comminuted fracture of the cheekbone, yet I came away without a scratch.” My son knew Master protected him.
Just a few days ago, he was driving out of town when he was involved in a traffic accident; a truck rear-ended his car with such force that the door was smashed in. Yet, once again, he emerged completely unharmed. He only had a mild concussion. He said, “Mom, Master protected me once again! I must thank Master.”
My daughter-in-law benefited even more. She understands the principle that when one person cultivates, the whole family benefits. Whenever her two children encountered difficulties, she said, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and they always passed the ordeal safely.
My oldest grandson fell down a flight of ten steps and sustained a deep, gaping wound. We simply dressed the wound and it healed within a few days. On another occasion, late one night—around 11:00 p.m. my second grandson developed a high fever and began having convulsions. There was no time to rush him to a hospital. Our entire family asked Master to protect him. About ten minutes later, the convulsions ceased. We didn’t take him to a hospital the next day either; instead, he gradually recovered on his own.
Whenever either of the children was ill my daughter-in-law brought them to me so they could listen to me reciting Master’s teachings. They were fine within a few days. I know that Master benevolently protected them.
My older sister-in-law is now 71 years old. Over a decade ago, she was diagnosed with leukemia and suddenly collapsed. The hospital could not find a matching bone marrow donor for her. She called us in tears. When we visited her at the hospital we told her that Dafa could save her. We urged her to remember, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The next day, a matching bone marrow donor was found. She said, “I am deeply grateful to Master for helping me pull through this crisis.” After she underwent treatment she remained in excellent health. I know that all these blessings came to her because she has positive thoughts about Dafa. My older sister-in-law told her children, “No matter what else you may oppose, you must never oppose Dafa—for Dafa saved my life.”
A few years ago my younger brother-in-law had a stroke that left him partially paralyzed, and he later developed diabetes. Last year, he was hospitalized, but his blood sugar level was so high that the medical equipment couldn’t register a reading.
My brother-in-law’s wife passed away years earlier, and his son worked in another city. So his younger sister—my sister-in-law—stayed with him at the hospital. At 11:00 pm, the hospital staff informed them that he needed to be transferred to another facility. My sister-in-law said, “It’s late at night—where are we supposed to transfer him to?”
The hospital staff replied, “We have no choice. If his blood sugar levels remain unreadable, he will fall into a coma, and his life will be in grave danger.”
Left with no other options, my sister-in-law called us. I told her, “The only way he can pull through this is to say, Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” The doctors checked his blood sugar at midnight and they were able to get a reading! I knew compassionate Master saved him.
Overjoyed, my sister-in-law kept repeating into the phone, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” My brother-in-law was discharged from the hospital a few days later. When his son returned and learned the full details of what happened, he said, “Auntie, this time I truly believe it, Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. You are all truly good people.”
For over twenty years now, my family and I have lived a happy and joyful life under the benevolent protection of Dafa. We know that only by treating Dafa with kindness and respect can we remain safe, healthy, and secure.
