(Minghui.org) At lunch time on September 6, 2012, my husband asked me: “Do you still sometimes feel lost?” I replied: “No, not since I started to practice Falun Gong, because I know the meaning of life is to return to your original true self. I live solidly and happily. Looking back, I didn't know why I often felt lost.”
I truly put my heart and mind into practicing Falun Gong in 2005. Following are some of my experiences.
1. Hysteromyoma Disappeared and Stomach Disorder Healed
A physical examination in 1997 found that I suffered from hysteromyoma. When I had an ultrasound, a big ball-like object showed up on the screen. My abdomen felt heavy and uncomfortable. I consulted my brother, who was a doctor. He asked what symptoms I had and said that it was a benign tumor. At the time I was very busy with my business and didn't go to see a doctor for any prescriptions. When I had another physical examination in 2005, the lump was no longer there. From 2002 to 2005, I only had the wish to practice Falun Gong and I practiced on and off. This was a miracle manifested by Dafa.
Back in 1990 I started to feel pain in my abdomen. In 1994 an experienced doctor of Chinese medicine prescribed more than 60 Chinese herb packets but my health didn't improve. In 2002 my stomach felt so bad that I was not able to each rice, seafood, onions, ginger, garlic or any spicy food. I could only eat till I was half full. When I felt tired or got angry, my stomach became uncomfortable.
One day in 2002 my stomach was very painful. My husband took me to the hospital for a check-up. The result was: blood stasis, edema and two areas of erosion in the stomach. Since my parents started to practice Falun Gong in 1998, I witnessed the miracles Falun Gong created for them. Even my dad who suffered from chronic stomach disease recovered without any medication. So I thought I would learn Falun Gong to cure my disease. I bought a copy of the book Zhuan Falun and read it occasionally. I would practice the exercises for half an hour if I had the time and stopped if I didn't have time.
I saw that other practitioners didn't need to take any medicine after they practiced Falun Gong and they were healthy. But my stomach still hurt terribly, so I asked my husband to buy medicine for me. He bought it and put it on my book shelf. When my stomach pain became unbearable, I looked at the medicine but didn't take it. I thought of my dad, who had such serious stomach disease and recovered, so why should I take any medicine? I never touched that box of medicine. My stomach disease disappeared through studying the Fa and doing exercises. From then on I could eat anything.
2. Master Is Right Beside Me
In August 2011, several local practitioners were arrested. We urgently needed to collect information to let people know the truth. One practitioner gave me a copy of the information. I started to copy it when I got home from work, after 10 p.m. I was very tired and dozed off several times but kept copying until midnight.
At 6 a.m. the next day, I went to see a practitioner, who would pass my copied materials to the practitioner who needed it. But I didn't know where this practitioner lived or his telephone number. So I took a detour to see another practitioner, but he didn't answer after I knocked at his door several times. I turned back, disappointed. As soon as I got home, I saw the practitioner I wanted to see getting out of a car. He asked: “Are you looking for me?” I replied: “Yes, how did you know?” He said: “My girlfriend said you were looking for me when we were having breakfast.” I happily gave him the materials.
After coming home, I stood in front of Master's photo and said to Master with tears in my eyes: “Thank you Master. I know Master is right beside me.”
3. The Flying Flier
One morning on my way to work, I saw a Falun Gong flier in the middle of the road to the northwest of the shop. I passed by it and went to my shop. But I felt uncomfortable in my heart. I kept thinking of that flier. "I must go back and pick it up." I turned and through the window I saw the flier flying southwest. I stopped and this flier turned in a circle, flew toward me and dropped at my feet. I picked it up with no trouble.
4. My Father-In-Law Prefers My Home
There were four children in my husband's family and he was the only son. My mother-in-law had passed away and left my father-in-law alone. He is 71 years old and once lived in the countryside. In January this year, my husband and I took him home. He didn't have any income and had little savings. He liked to enjoy life and didn't care much about us. No matter how busy we were, he didn't offer any help.
I had made good preparation when my father-in-law came. I am a Dafa practitioner. Master requires us to consider others first before we do anything. I would look after him very well. We had breakfast together and I prepared lunch and supper for him. I tried to prepare different dishes for lunch and supper and to show him filial piety.
Sometimes I couldn't keep my xinxing up. When I came home after a busy day in the shop, I liked to have some cold water from the teapot, but it was empty. When I left home in the morning, I had filled it full. Then I complained: My father-in-law should be a little more considerate. He had no problem pouring cold water from the pot but couldn't seem to pour hot water into the pot. I thought of my father. When he stayed with us, the pot was always full. As soon as the washing machine stopped, he would run to it and hang the clothes on the line.
Then I knew my thought was wrong. I am a Dafa practitioner and shouldn't complain. I didn't want that attachment. Master said: "A wicked person is born of jealousy. Out of selfishness and anger he complains about unfairness towards himself. A benevolent person always has a heart of compassion. With no discontentment or hatred, he takes hardship as joy." (from Realms "Essential for Further Advancement") I had resentment and hatred and didn't have enough compassion. Was I a Dafa practitioner? I thought about it and no longer had any complaints.
Early this year I discussed with other practitioners how to clarify the truth to save illegally detained practitioners. I stayed with the practitioners a bit longer and went to the shop late. My husband flew into a rage and pushed me outside. He gave me several days to make a decision: to choose the family or Dafa and I could only choose one. I said I wanted both. He said that we could no longer stay together, which meant he wanted to divorce me. I didn't know whether it was interference or it was time for me to get rid of my attachments. I felt upset, but I still had to do what I had to do. I came home, saw my father-in-law and had to speak to him in the same soft and kind tone. I had to put on a smile and prepare dinner for him. He didn't find anything wrong. He had been living happily and freely.
Recently my sister-in-law wanted to give me a break. She asked her father to stay at her home for a while. She said: "Dad, would you like to stay with me for a while? Don't you feel bored here?" Father-in-law replied: "Bored? Not at all. I don't want to go to your place. I am very comfortable here. I will feel bored at your home." After listening to their conversation, I felt a bit relieved. This was his acknowledgment to a Dafa practitioner.
5. "Sister, I Listen to You."
I am in the catering business. As a Dafa practitioner, I know I have to do what Master requires us to do "Under all circumstances, we must be good and kind to others." Nowadays businessmen do business unethically. They use filthy oil and contaminated pork. Everybody worries about poisonous food. We must rectify what is not right. Dafa practitioners must do everything according to the principles of "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance."
I cannot guarantee that every food I use is pure (for example vegetables are grown with fertilizer and meat has artificial elements) but I can guarantee that it comes from the big original suppliers. In processing food, I wash it carefully and sterilize it. I treat my clients with compassion and kindness. I do business honestly.
When clients placed orders, I gave them good suggestions from their points of view. I let them tell me how many bottles they drank. If I found they said more bottles than they drank, I would record it and deduct it from their next bill. Sometimes I would find notes of ten yuan, twenty yuan or even several hundred yuan after their event. I also recorded this and gave the money back to clients when they came next time.
My ordinary friend didn't understand and said to me that there were no marks on the notes and I could keep them for personal use. I told her that one loses virtue by taking things that belong to another. People could feel my kindness in their hearts. Many clients would say they felt at home when they came to my shop. One day a guy who liked to fight with others, and people called “riffraff” said to me: “Sister, I listen to you.” He recognized my righteousness. Master requires us to be good wherever we are.
