I Stopped Worrying About My Son After 26 Years

(Minghui.org) Many years ago, a fortuneteller told me that my son was a reckless spender but that he became our son in this life to get even with us.

He was handsome and smart but didn't use his intelligence wisely. At the age of 14, he became a troublemaker in school. When he got older, he hung out with a bad crowd. They smoked and drank, and he was involved in a mob fight. He was arrested several times and detained a few times.

My husband and I own a profitable restaurant. However, we spent all of our money cleaning up after him. He destroyed five cars and got divorced after being married for just a year.

I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2005. After studying the Fa, I learned that there is always a karmic relationship behind everything that happens to us. I thought that I must have done terrible things to him in previous lives, so he was doing the same things to me in this life.

So I stopped worrying about him and started a daily routine of talking to people about Falun Dafa in the morning, studying the Fa in the afternoon, and doing the exercises early in the morning and in the evening.

Fortunately, my son was never against Dafa. He sometimes drove us to far-away places to distribute fliers and protected Falun Dafa practitioners whenever he could.

Although I was arrested and taken to a police station for talking to people about Falun Dafa, my son was always the first to visit me. He tried to find ways to bail me out and never complained.

He was involved in a few major car accidents but was never injured. I believe he was rewarded for protecting Dafa practitioners.

Last May, people in China started filing criminal complaints against former Chinese Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin. One day, my son told me he wanted to read Nine Commentaries on Communist Party. After he read the book twice, he went to a rehabilitation center to stop doing drugs.

When he returned home, he began to read Dafa materials and Minghui Weekly. Then, he said he wanted to sue Jiang Zemin, too. He wrote a criminal complaint against Jiang and mailed it to the Supreme People's Court.

After he mailed the complaint, he said he wanted to practice Falun Dafa. At first, I didn't take him seriously. But the following morning, he got up early and began to learn the exercises by watching the instruction video.

Now he studies the Fa and does the exercises every day, even though he can't do the second and fifth exercises for the full duration.

While we are studying the Fa together, he corrects me if I read a character incorrectly. When I don't watch what I say, he reminds me to pay attention to my xinxing.

Although my son has only cultivated for a short time, he has given up most of his bad habits and no longer sees his bad friends. However, he still smokes and drinks from time to time. I believe he will let those habits go eventually.

I worried about my son for 26 years, but now I am confident that he is on the right path. I know Falun Dafa will help him to be a better person little by little. Our relatives are very happy to see how he has changed.
