(Clearwisdom.net) My mother is 56 years old. She lost her mother when she was 10. She was raised by her grandmother and her father. She had to take care of her two younger sisters who managed to go to school, but Mom never had the opportunity to attend school. Fortunately, she encountered Falun Dafa. As a result, her health recovered, and she even learned to read. Everyone who knew her was surprised and said, "Falun Dafa is magical."

Mom used to be in poor health. One year before she began to practice Falun Dafa, she was diagnosed with hyperplasia in her breast. The doctor said her condition was worsening, so Dad had to take her to the hospital for chemotherapy. Dad couldn't afford it and had to borrow money each time Mom went to see the doctor. Mom looked much older after the treatments.

In a seemingly fortuitous opportunity, Mom got to see Master's lectures. She began to practice Falun Dafa and went to the practice site every day. She benefited from her firm faith in Master and in Dafa. For over ten years, Mom has never taken another pill, since all her illnesses disappeared. She became stronger and stronger and took care of all the household chores by herself. She is very energetic and is no longer a sick old lady. She has grown younger and prettier.

Mom understood that it was essential to study the Fa and cultivate her character, but she was illiterate. How could she study the Fa and read Master's lectures? Anxiously, she held the book in her hands, turned the pages, and stared at each page. She couldn't read one word. She began to "draw" the Chinese characters for "Zhen-Shan-Ren" (Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance) and the characters for "Zhuan Falun." She drew them so many times that gradually they started to look like the actual characters. Then she began to learn Lunyu in Zhuan Falun. She asked everyone whenever she had the opportunity. I don't know how many times she had to ask to learn a single word, or how many people she had to ask. Eventually she was able to recite Lunyu.

Mom had a dream one night. In her dream, she saw the blue sky filled with Chinese characters. She could recognize only one character, "shang," meaning "up." Mom was overjoyed. She said Master was encouraging her to continue to go up and not to give up. Mom continued to study the Fa every day, one paragraph at a time. Over time, with Master's support and help from her family members, she was able to read the 300-plus pages of Zhuan Falun. Then she read it again. Magically, she learned to read. I don't know how many times she has read Zhuan Falun since then. She can also recite Lunyu and some poems in Hong Yin now.

This is about a practitioner created by our great benevolent Master. Without Master's encouragement and support, we would not have been able to practice Falun Dafa till today. Nor would we have a strong will. It is Master who gives us the courage and confidence to follow "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" in such a troubled times, to consider others, and to become people of selflessness and altruism.

Falun Dafa has changed my mom, bringing her a healthy body and broadening her mind. It has brought harmony to our family. Our whole family benefits from Falun Dafa. I would like to thank Master for saving us with benevolence.
