(Minghui.org) The following three short stories from Falun Dafa practitioners are about people in China who received blessings after understanding the truth about Falun Dafa. I am sharing them to help more people see the beauty of the practice.
A Book Changed His Destiny
[Report from Hebei Province] On April 21 this year, while at a local market clarifying the truth and distributing flyers, I spotted Daqiu, a man from a neighboring village whom I’d known for some time. He is 80 years old.
Seven or eight years ago, we were giving out desk calendars with Dafa information on them, and I met Daqiu. He was a very thin, small-framed man, and was pushing a bicycle with a child seated on the rear rack. We went over, told him about Falun Dafa, and gave him one of our desk calendars, urging him, “When you get home, please carefully read the contents of the calendar.” Since he frequently took the child to and from school, I often ran into him and gave him truth-clarifying flyers. He told me that he really enjoyed reading the materials and that he loved to read books. So, I gave him a copy of Zhuan Falun.
The next time I saw Daqiu, I asked him, “Are you still reading that precious book?”
He replied, “Certainly, I love reading it.” Then he said to me, “Guess what? I had to take medication every day for heart disease, and I didn’t dare to skip a single dose. However, one time I forgot to take my medicine and fainted, completely losing consciousness. Fortunately, my daughter happened to come home right then and helped me up, so no serious harm was done. She warned me not to forget my medication and constantly reminded me to take it. But ever since I started reading this book, I feel fine. Even if I occasionally forget to take my medicine, I still feel fine. Still, I haven’t quite dared to stop taking it altogether.”
I said, “Brother, you are truly blessed. Dafa’s Master is helping you. If you feel you need to take your medicine, go ahead and take it. Our Master never said that people can’t take medicine.”
A few years later, I ran into Daqiu again. He told me, “I haven’t needed to take any medication for four years now!”
Daqiu stopped picking up and dropping off the child, so opportunities to see him became scarce. Several years passed, and then I saw Daqiu at the local market, but I barely recognized him. He looked the picture of health, with a radiant face and bright, piercing eyes—completely different from how he looked before. I asked, “Are you Daqiu?”
He replied, “I am!” He recognized me as well and said, “I no longer take any medication. I feel wonderful, and all my ailments have vanished.”
I reminded him, “It is Dafa’s Master who is helping you. You should share your story with your friends and family so that they, too, may benefit.”
He replied, “Of course I tell them. Though some believe it and others don’t. I suppose some people just need more time.”
Understanding the Truth Brings Blessings
[Report from Sichuan Province] One evening in 2006, I ran into a former neighbor. She used to walk with a brisk, energetic stride, but this time she was slow and listless. I asked her, “What’s the matter?”
She replied, “Don’t even ask—I’ve had the worst luck. I have terrible stomach pain. I’ve taken so much medicine, but nothing seems to help. I’m planning to go to the hospital tomorrow for a gastroscopy.”
I asked, “Do you believe in God?” She acknowledged she did, so I continued, “Since the Chinese Communist Party seized power, it has committed countless atrocities. Its Three-Anti and Five-Anti Campaigns, the Great Famine, and various other political movements have killed 80 million Chinese citizens. Now, it is persecuting Falun Dafa and practitioners. Heaven is about to hold it accountable. If you remain a member of this regime, you will inevitably be implicated. Only by withdrawing from the Party, Youth League, and Young Pioneers that you once joined, and disassociating yourself from them, can you safely make it through the coming tribulations.” She agreed to withdraw.
I added, “If you sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ it will increase your positive energy, and you will receive Dafa’s protection.”
She immediately shouted out, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” She repeated this twice. After shouting, she exclaimed, “Oh! My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore—it really doesn’t hurt! Thank you!”
I responded, “Don’t thank me. It is because you held righteous thoughts toward Dafa that Dafa’s Master saved you. You should thank Dafa’s Master!” She immediately thanked Master.
A second account is my 90-year-old mother. She acknowledges that Dafa is good, and frequently listens to Master’s audio lectures. One year, I hung a calendar featuring an image of “auspicious children” (a truth-clarification image) at the head of her bed. One day, she told me, “I woke up during the night, and saw that the three children in the picture were glowing with golden light.”
My mother has also experienced Dafa’s protection. She once tripped and fell down while walking alone on the sidewalk, yet she immediately stood right back up. People nearby were concerned, and asked if she was injured. My mother replied, “I’m fine.” She later told me, “When I fell, I landed in the sitting position. It felt like I was sitting on cotton. It was so soft and cushiony.”
I said to her, “It is because you have acknowledged and embraced Dafa, so Dafa’s Master protected you and you received a blessing.”
With tears glistening in her eyes, she said, “Thank you, Dafa’s Master!”
My Sister-in-Law’s Gratitude
[Report from Hubei Province] My sister-in-law was struck by a car while picking up a package at a courier shop at 6:00 p.m. one day this past February. She sustained severe injuries and was rushed to hospital. My relatives and I hurried there. Upon seeing my sister-in-law, I began saying the auspicious phrases to her, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
With tears in her eyes, my sister-in-law whispered, “It hurts so much.” Seeing that she was able to speak, albeit softly, I encouraged her to join me in reciting the auspicious phrases, and told her to recite them often.
The medical evaluation indicated that my sister-in-law had four broken ribs and a ruptured intestine. She was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Two days later, I heard that she had been moved out of the ICU. So I arranged to visit her along with other relatives. She was still in distress, but I once again encouraged her to recite the phrases.
I frequently called her to remind her to recite the phrases. She told me, “I have taken what you said to heart, and I am improving day by day. I thank Master Li for his compassionate salvation!”
