Master said,
“When one person obtains the Fa, the whole family will benefit.” (“Teaching the Fa and Answering Questions in Jinan,” Zhuan Falun Fajie–The Law of Zhuan Falun Explained)
I have been practicing Falun Dafa for more than 10 years. During this time, my whole family has benefited from Master’s immense compassion and protection. Below are just some of my experiences.
I am a kind person, but I had attachments to competitiveness, jealousy, zealotry, showing-off, and personal gain. If I was treated unfairly, I would fight to the end and never give up.
Better Understanding Compassion
After I had worked at a certain company for half a year, a staff member borrowed some money from the company and did not pay it back. He later left the company. I was very angry with him. Sometimes he would come back to the company on business. Whenever I saw him, I would curse him loudly. I even took the bus to his new company to curse him out.
He finally went to beg his manager to settle the issue and begged me not to come and curse him out again. I stopped, but I was still very angry with him. Looking back, I am full of regret. If something like that were to happen now, I would help him and figure out why he did not repay the money. If he still refused to repay it, I would pay it for him without hating him.
Giving up Material Interests
I knew the attachment to competition was bad after I learned Falun Dafa. I now behave in accordance with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and try to be a better person.
My husband and I live with my husband's parents--my husband is the only son. My husband has a sister, but she moved out a long time ago and occupied our house. My father-in-law felt sorry for us because we were looking after him, but we did not get any reward.
All the other relatives thought it was unfair for us and tried to persuade us to fight back. My husband asked for my opinion. I said, “I don't want to fight with your sister. Why would you want to fight with your own sister?” I told our relatives, “My husband's sister had suffered a lot in her life. She is better off staying in the house.”
Later, when my friends were in similar circumstances, they would think about what I had done and not start a fight.
I could not have done this without Dafa's great power. It is through the Fa that I have improved. Master said:
"He who acts for his name
a life of anger and hate is his
He who acts for profit
cold is he, knowing not his kin
He who acts for emotion
many are the troubles he brings himself
Bitter,
fighting away,
he makes karma all his life.”
(“An Upright Person" from Hong Yin)
There were six people in my department. According to a new national policy, one of us had to be downgraded. That not only meant a lower salary, but it would also hurt our personal reputation. So my colleagues fought with each other and tried to keep their positions.
I decided to leave voluntarily, although I was the most qualified person in my department. I am a Dafa disciple. Master asked us to give up our personal interests and be a good person.
Compared with the countless good deeds that Dafa practitioners have done, what I have done is just a drop in the ocean. I feel that I have not met the requirements that Master has set for us. I just want to tell everyone that Falun Gong is good, that it benefits the country and the people.
I hope everyone in the world can learn the truth about Falun Gong and choose a bright future for themselves. Thank you, Master, for your great compassion. I will be more diligent to fulfill my historical mission.
