I have two granddaughters. One is 14 years old and the other is 12. Both of them also practice Falun Gong.

I taught them to live according to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." I told them stories about many practitioners that are forced to be homeless and destitute, persecuted for their belief in Falun Dafa and for believing in Teacher and living their lives according to their belief. They live a hard life, as they have a home but can't live in it. They cannot reunite with their family members. Yet even under these severe circumstances, they have a smile on their face and are diligent in clarifying the truth. They also always consider others first in the things they do. I asked both of my granddaughters, "You started to practice Falun Gong from a very young age, and you didn't have to take medication or have any injections. Aren't you thankful to Dafa?"

After they heard these stories, they said, "Those 'uncles' and 'aunties' have very hard lives. Can we give them some money to help cover their living expenses?"

Their words touched my heart. Though I have contributed to make truth clarification materials, I found that I didn't think enough about those homeless practitioners who risked everything, even their very lives, to distribute the truth-clarifying materials, Teacher's lectures, and materials from the Minghui website. Those materials come to us very quickly, and we should treasure the materials and the practitioners that distribute them.

I work in a small shop on the pier and I came across a couple in their 50s. I chatted with and clarified the truth to them. I told them that Falun Dafa was good and that our Teacher was very benevolent, that Jiang Zemin's regime and the Communist Party has persecuted practitioners, and that the self-immolation in Tiananmen Square was staged, among other things.

While talking with the couple, a group of people passing by stopped and told us that they came from Xixia Village. They were Falun Gong practitioners as well. One of them was a young man and the other two were ladies.

The man shared with us that before practicing Falun Gong, he often got drunk and his family life was a mess. After he learned Falun Gong, he no longer drank, and his family stopped fighting amongst themselves and they lived in harmony. Once he heard that somebody was going to try to convince him not to practice Falun Gong. He safeguarded Dafa by approaching the person first to ask him, "Why don't you approve of my practicing Falun Gong? After I practiced Falun Gong, I gave up alcohol and behaved myself well, and my family now gets along well, too. Nobody can stop me from practicing Falun Gong."

One of the ladies shared that she had suffered from rheumatic arthritis and her hands were severely swollen, but she recovered after practicing Falun Gong. The other woman recovered from her illness, too.

After hearing all this, the couple said to me, "Now we believe that Falun Dafa is indeed good!"

I was very happy to hear this. Our fellow practitioners validated the Fa to save sentient beings through their actions, and we truly felt Master's immense compassion!
