(Clearwisdom.net) Not long ago, one of my relatives came to live in my home for a while. He had suffered from a stroke eight years earlier and a heart attack some time before that. Because of the stroke, he had a speech impediment. A few months prior, he had been sent to the emergency room in critical condition, but he survived.
One day, he told me with hand gestures, "I have never asked for anything in return when I helped others in the past and I never accepted money. But I did accept money one time because my family was too poor. Soon after, I got this illness." I was shocked after listening to his story. Although he had not practiced Falun Dafa, he seemed to have good enlightenment quality. After we finished talking, I started practicing the Dafa exercises and he tried to follow along. It was very difficult for him, he was sweating all over, and I could hear a loud sound coming from the arm on his lame side.
Because he could not read well, he began studying the Fa by listening to the audio recordings of Master's Fa lectures. As he studied, his physical condition gradually improved.
His wife also started learning Dafa after seeing how it improved his health. One day while practicing the exercises, she also heard the sound coming from his lame side. His condition subsequently improved even more, to the point where could walk across the street by himself. He recovered so well that it was almost as though he had never been ill. If you hadn't known him before, you wouldn't have ever known that he'd had a stroke.
One of my older neighbors knows his situation, and he told me that my relative now seemed like a different person, and that he also wanted to learn Dafa and practice the exercises.
A few days ago, I bumped into the relative. He happily told me, "Teacher Li looked after me. My physical condition improved a lot." I noticed his mysterious smile, and understood what he meant to say. I told him that his miraculous recovery was meant to allow him to cultivate and not just to live an ordinary person's life, and that it was Teacher Li looking after him and extending his life for this purpose. He was excited and nodded his head in agreement.
His recovery confirmed the miracle of Dafa and is also a good way to introduce Dafa to people around me.
