(Clearwisdom.net) My mother-in-law started to practice Falun Gong in 1996. Before becoming a practitioner, her health was very poor. She often suffered from insomnia and frequent vomiting. She retired in her 40s because of her poor health. After she started practicing Falun Gong, her health was restored completely.
In the spring of 2003, after I met my wife, my mother-in-law introduced Falun Gong to me and hoped I would practice, too. At that time, the Chinese Communist Party had been persecuting Falun Gong for four years. Due to my mother-in-law's explanations, I learned that Falun Gong had been vilified by the CCP.
After hearing what my mother-in-law had to say about Falun Gong, I had a positive impression about it. However, I still regarded it as a common qigong practice and planned to start practicing after I retired. In the summer of 2003, my wife's rhinitis became very severe, and small bumps grew inside her nose. There was no specific medicine for rhinitis, and it was hard to cure. What could we do?
Actually, my mother-in-law's experience had demonstrated the miracle of Falun Gong. Before 1999, my wife practiced Falun Gong, too, but she stopped when the CCP started to persecute it. Following my mother-in-law's advice, my wife resumed practicing Falun Gong. In order to encourage her to practice, I also started. I was not at all diligent at the time. I mainly did the exercises. Although I read Zhuan Falun with them, it was not with my heart, and I was not quite convinced by what was said in the book. Even so, Falun Gong worked miracles on me and my wife. I used to have a runny nose whenever it was cold, but it never happened again after I started practicing Falun Gong, and my wife is clearly recovering from her rhinitis.
We named our son "Zenzen," and we hoped he would walk the path of cultivation in the future. Soon after he was born, my mother came to help us take care of him. My mother suffered from severe high blood pressure and could not do any housework. She also suffered from severe hemorrhoids and could not touch spicy foods at all. My mother-in-law had already expressed the hope that my mother would practice Falun Gong. This was just the right opportunity. My mother-in-law taught my mother the exercises, and she learned very quickly. When she heard Teacher's lectures, she believed immediately what Teacher taught. Miracles occurred. My mother's blood pressure went back to normal and her hemorrhoids disappeared. She does not need to avoid any foods, and she walks with more energy than before.
I was stunned by my mother's improvements. I knew clearly how poor my mother's health was, but it was miraculously restored after practicing Falun Gong. My wife and I started to be more diligent about studying Zhuan Falun and reciting Hong Yin, and we tried our best to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to our relatives and friends.
Later on, my father came to take care of our son for us. Through my mother's efforts, my father was also willing to practice Falun Gong. My mother-in-law taught him the movements, and my father read Zhuan Falun with us. My father had suffered from pain in his hip joints. Even on a very soft, thick mattress, he often woke up because of the pain. After practicing Falun Gong, the pain disappeared. Also, he was seriously addicted to drinking alcohol before, yet he gave it up for good after practicing Falun Gong.
Falun Gong miracles happened to my parents, which not only stunned my wife and me but also my younger sister and her husband. They also decided to practice Falun Gong.
Since I was young, I wished for good health for my parents. I tried many means, but all of them failed. Falun Gong made my wish come true. Falun Gong not only brings my family good health but also elevates my family member's thoughts. My wife always lived in the city and I came from a rural area. My wife and my parents are very different in their thoughts and habits, and my wife did not used to get along with my father very well. Dealing with the relationship between my parents and my wife became one of the big problems in our home. Fortunately, all of us practice Falun Gong now. Whenever there is a conflict, we try to be tolerant and look inward. Their relationship is improving. Now they can get along pretty well. Although there are still small conflicts, the discord passes quickly because everyone looks inward. Thus, we can also credit Falun Gong for the harmonious relationships in our family.
Of course, we still have shortcomings in cultivation. We will keep studying the Fa, practicing the exercises and clarifying the truth about Falun Gong. Our family's experience is clearly one example of Falun Gong being the path to health and harmony.
