(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners have many cultivation stories of joy and happiness. My family and I also experienced many things that I would like to share.
My whole family: mother-in-law, husband, child and I practice Falun Dafa and we are a family of happy cultivators.
I started practicing in 1995. My parents passed away when I was young and I was alone. The bitterness of life's daily troubles caused my health to decline. I felt that life was miserable and I was confused about the future.
After I began practicing, I suddenly understood when I read the Fa principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I felt that this was what I'd been searching for. My body became healthy and my negative thoughts soon disappeared after I began practicing. I slowly learned to use a cultivator's mindset to deal with things. I wasn't overjoyed when I had money or sad when I lost it. I truly treated people with kindness, and I felt the wonderfulness of Dafa from the profound Fa principles.
In 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) start to persecute Falun Dafa. Chinese people who had experienced the CCP's bloody movements deeply knew it's cruelty and feared it. Many people are deceived by the lies fabricated by the Party and afraid of being implicated in the persecution. They do not dare to understand nor come into contact with Falun Dafa. I stopped practicing because I saw the suffering of my grandparents and parents during previous movements when I was young. Thus, I was afraid of suffering the same fate.
Family Upset By My Practicing Falun Dafa
After I became a mother, the wonderfulness of Dafa awakened me once again to start cultivating. When my family heard that I wanted to practice Falun Dafa, they thought that we would be targeted by the CCP. My mother-in-law did not allow my child to recite “Falun Dafa is good” and my husband accused me of wanting to destroy the family.
From their reactions, I saw how deeply people's minds have been poisoned by the CCP's lies. I was determined to practice. They privately talked about how to stop me. I thought about how to let them know that Dafa is good.
My Family Realized the Goodness of Dafa
I told them again and again how Dafa taught me to be a good person and how my body became healthy. I had them read the truth-clarification materials on Falun Dafa and they watched its documentaries. They saw how Dafa is spreading worldwide and the wonderful stories of people from all walks of life who practiced it. They also saw the evilness of the persecution and finally understood the goodness of Falun Dafa. As a result, my mother-in-law and husband started practicing. They have also personally experienced amazing things while cultivating.
Family Members Experience Many Health Benefits
My mother-in-law broke her spine when she was young and became hunchbacked. Her back would become numb after she sat for a few minutes and her back was painful when the weather changed. The hospital said that her spine was completely deformed and nothing could be done because it was an old injury. After she practiced for a few months, the hunchback gradually disappeared and her back wasn't painful or numb anymore.
When she was young, her body was strained and overworked after doing high-intensity labor in the countryside. At 60 years old, she had to pull herself up the stairs by using the railings and rest a while each time after taking a few steps. After walking a few steps, she would become thirsty and tired. Now, she can climb six to seven flights of stairs without resting and can walk a long distance every day without feeling thirsty or tired.
Rain or shine, my mother-in-law and another practitioner now walk a long distance every day to tell people the truth of Falun Dafa. She had serious presbyopia and didn't know that the newspaper was inverted when it was placed in front of her. Now, she doesn't even have to wear glasses when reading Dafa books. She can also read Zhuan Falun fluently now even though she wasn't well educated.
My husband studied and received a higher education. However, institutions of higher education under the CCP have been indoctrinated with a lot of Party culture and political theories. Many people with graduate degrees commented that their political theories causes them headaches and they are disgusted by it. Once their studies were finished, they threw everything away. However, it is not that easy for those who want to get jobs in the CCP's system, as they will be brainwashed by the politics their entire lives.
My husband's body was cleansed when he began cultivating. Many large pustules suddenly erupted on his head and flowed pus for a few days before they healed. He felt refreshed. He had stomach problems and he had indigestion. He could not eat any food prepared outside our home. In China, it's very hard to prevent from eating toxic food. He had stomach pain every time he had a meal outside our home.
Before he began practicing, he had food poisoning after an outside meal. He recovered after a long period of taking medicine and getting treatment. Later, his stomach would become ill once a year. Not long after he began practicing, he had a meal out and came home vomiting and in pain. If he hadn't been a practitioner, he wouldn't have recovered unless he went to the hospital.
After he vomited black, yellow and green substances the entire night, he soon recovered. I even wondered, “Why was he vomiting so many black substances?” Afterward, he no longer had any stomach problems.
My Husband Changed From Being an Atheist
My husband experienced so many amazing things, and many cannot be explained by science. The profound Fa principles changed him from an atheist to a Falun Dafa practitioner.
My mother-in-law and husband are both kind people. They often said after cultivating Dafa, “I thought that I was better than everyone else. Now, when I use the standards of Dafa to look at myself, I see my shortcomings.” All of us felt the same and smiled knowingly. Our criteria in measuring ourselves has become higher and we will continue to live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
My child benefited the most. Several diseases spread and my child caught a fever and a cough a few times every year. Taking medicine did not work and the hospital would prescribe many unnecessary medicines that were expensive. Each time we visited the clinic recommended by our friends, our child would only recover after being on IV drips for a few days. We adults also got sick.
After we began practicing, we taught him to say “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and how to practice the exercises and study the Fa. He never went to a doctor again. Whenever the annual flu would spread, our child would sometimes get it too but did not visit the doctor. Instead, we taught him to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and he recovered. It is now rooted in his heart.
My husband's older nephew and niece stayed in my house during their college days. They knew that Falun Dafa is good and received blessings after watching Falun Dafa documentaries. The nephew originally had neurasthenia and had to take a lot of medicine every day. The relatives were worried about him. However, he threw away all the medicine after practicing Dafa and no longer needed them. The niece did not accept the truth initially but later truly understand that Dafa is good. She graduated easily and found a good job. She now studies the Fa.
My husband also has a young nephew. His parents often work outside and seldom take care of him. He came to live with us when he started high school and will soon graduate. When he first came to our home, he didn't want to study and had many bad habits. Under our family's influence, he gradually got rid of them and knows that he has to work hard in his studies. He often helps us do some household chores too.
He likes to read one of the Dafa books, Hong Yin and this year, he started studying the Fa and practicing the exercises with us. He also said that he is a young practitioner. We are truly happy for him.
Fire Miraculously Goes Out
Another amazing thing happened. One winter night, the wood shed opposite my house caught fire. It was very old and the wood was already dried. As the wind was strong, the fire become bigger. The wood began to fall and the pieces fell towards us.
The owner was very anxious and used basins of water to extinguish the fire but to no avail. My elder nephew who sleeps upstairs was the first person to see this. He called us over quickly and my mother-in-law asked everyone to recite “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
All of us recited it and we saw that the fire gradually became smaller and finally went out.
We read in the truth-clarification materials about reciting “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” to prevent disaster. We have also experienced this and witnessed the power of those words.
We're an ordinary family in China that cultivates Falun Dafa and we are very happy. The evil persecution of this group of kind people is still going on but we will continue to stick to our belief in its principles. We will also continue to explain to people the facts about Dafa to everyone we encounter and we believe that in the near future, everyone will say “Falun Dafa is good!”
