(Minghui.org) I am 68 years old and I started practicing Falun Dafa in early 1999. My family has witnessed the extraordinary power of Falun Dafa many times. Below are a few examples to express my gratitude to Master and Dafa.
My husband is 72 years old. Prior to practicing Falun Dafa, he suffered from tuberculosis, gastroptosis, prostatitis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, chronic colds, and headaches. He was frail and could barely catch his breath climbing to the fourth floor. At work he was known for constantly taking medicine, costing the company over 10,000 yuan every year.
After he started to practice Dafa, he quit drinking alcohol and smoking, and his temper improved. No longer short of breath climbing stairs, he was also able to do routine household chores and felt light all over, as if he’d become a completely new person. When he went back to his hometown to spread Dafa, friends and relatives were amazed at how he’d changed. Some of them started to learn the practice.
After the 1999 Chinese New Year, my husband was headed to the nearby convenience store. As he was crossing the street, he saw a vehicle in the distance, so he hurried, thinking he had enough time. Only another fast-moving vehicle came out of nowhere and hit him. He lost consciousness. When he came to, he found himself in a vehicle on the way to the hospital. He said, “I don't need to go to the hospital.” The driver saw he was adamant, stopped the vehicle, and called a taxi to take him home. The taxi driver reminded my husband to write down the plate number of the vehicle that hit him. My husband did not do that, thinking he was a Dafa practitioner and was not injured.
I was reading the Fa teachings with our daughter and son when he came in. He casually said he had been hit by a car. Then I noticed his winter coat was ripped open and the lining exposed. Our daughter said, “Dad, it is a good thing. Master has protected and taken care of you as a practitioner. You have just repaid a life.”
She then read out loud the following:
“We have many disciples who’ve encountered some dangerous incidents during the course of their cultivation—car accidents, falling from high places, and many other incidents. Afterwards, our students felt happy—it sure is worth being happy about. Of course, as I’ve explained in the Fa, this is equal to paying for a huge amount of karma generated in the past, and can even equal having repaid a life. If that life has really been paid for, your name is crossed out from hell because you’ve already paid for that life.” (“Teaching the Fa at a New York Meeting,” Lectures in the United States)
The next day when I went to the group practice site, I heard some fellow practitioners talking about my husband's accident. One said, “Last night I saw a man being hit by a car and thrown into the air. He hit the ground, and I don’t know if he was alive or not. He was carried into a vehicle.” I told them, “That man was my husband. His coat was ripped open but he is totally fine.” Fellow practitioners were delighted to know that Master had protected him and saved his life.
My husband's younger sister had a grandson in college who was diagnosed with leukemia. Lethargic and weak, he had to drop out of college and seek treatment. He needed blood transfusions just to stay alive. My husband's brother-in-law was so worried about his grandson that he suffered a cerebral embolism and became paralyzed and bedridden. This created an additional financial burden on the family and made things even worse.
After hearing about this, my husband and I got together Dafa books and materials and MP3 files of Master's Fa lectures and exercise music, and went to visit them. They agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organizations after we told them about how the regime has persecuted innocent citizens such as Falun Dafa practitioners. We encouraged them to recite “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and lent them 20,000 yuan. They were moved by our kindness and stopped believing the CCP propaganda.
Before long, my husband's sister telephoned us, bursting with joy, “My grandson's platelet count has returned to normal. He doesn’t need any more transfusions. My husband has also recovered and can now care for himself. Everything is back to normal.”
My husband had a niece who made a living raising pigs and growing vegetables. Years of hard labor left her with all kinds of ailments. She had kidney surgery in her 30s, after which she couldn’t lift heavy objects or work hard any more. Both she and her husband were kind and honest. Because her younger brother passed away and his wife was blind, my husband's niece adopted their daughter, who studied hard and eventually got admitted to a prestigious high school that was very expensive. My daughter sent them 9,000 yuan to help them out with her tuition.
Our niece's family learned about the tremendous changes in my family after we started practicing Dafa. We helped their whole family quit the CCP and its youth organizations. Following our suggestion, they started reciting “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” When our niece saw the Dafa materials people discarded, she would pick them up and read them. Then she gave them to other people. She conducted myself according to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
One day she went to buy some seeds and the seller forgot to charge her. Even though she noticed it, she did not go back and pay for them. Soon after that, her hens often flew over to the neighbor's yard and laid their eggs there. Later she even lost some hens. When she calculated how much money she’d lost, it was about or even more than the price of the seeds. She said, “Now I truly believe that good is rewarded with good and evil incurs tribulation.”
After learning her lesson, she always returned extra change right away. The sellers were surprised. One of them said, “People like you are truly hard to find these days.” My niece replied, “I believe that Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Her health kept improving and so did her family. They bought a condominium and built a pig house and a greenhouse to grow vegetables. Her business prospered and brought in good income. Their adopted daughter will graduate from college this year. Their own daughter is also in college now. Both are good students and excel in their studies, needing little attention from their parents. Their family is blessed by Dafa.
My older sister, 71, was known for having all kinds of health problems from the time she was young. Even in the summer, she didn’t dare wear short sleeves or eat cold food. She often had stomach flu or dizziness and couldn’t do heavy labor.
After she started to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” my sister turned into a totally different person. She was able to go out of town to do temporary jobs. On cold winter days, she did not catch colds and even became known as the “iron woman.” When she was asked how she came by such great health, she would tell them, “It is all because I recite, 'Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' These magical words changed my life for good.”
One day she went to pick up firewood outside the village. After dark, she pulled her cart full of firewood toward home. Along the way she ran into a bump in the road and could not pull the cart over it no matter how hard she tried. She simply had to stop. Nobody was around at the time and she was still far from home. She was really worried and pleaded, “Master, please help me.” Soon she was able to pull the cart over the bump. Excited, she kept saying, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Once she lost a chick and could not find it anywhere. She was about to get frustrated and irritated, but the words “ Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” came to her mind. All of a sudden, the chick reappeared right in front of her. She was overwhelmed and said, “Dafa is so amazing and magical!”
Her whole immediate family and a dozen relatives know the facts about Falun Dafa and have quit the CCP and its organizations. Her two sons have both benefited. Her older son, a senior engineer and part of the leadership at work, resisted bribery and corruption and has a happy family. Her younger son was in college when the CCP launched the persecution of Falun Dafa and flooded the media with slanderous propaganda. With no fear, he kept his copy of Zhuan Falun on his bookshelf as he always did. When asked, “How do you dare to still read that book?” he replied, “I read it because I know it is good.” Because he treasured and read the book in the darkest days of the persecution, he was blessed by Dafa. He is now the CEO of a prestigious and successful company. His family is happy, and his two sons even built a new house for their parents.
In 2017, my sister’s younger son fell asleep at the wheel. The car gently veered off into a ditch on the right side of the road, stuck between two small trees. Then the car slowly turned over. He climbed out and escaped without a scratch. He knew it was Master who’d protected him and ensured his safety.
These are some of my family's experiences. Countless practitioners' families have their own wondrous and magical experiences. I sincerely hope that everyone can see through the slanderous CCP propaganda. Once you learn the facts about Falun Dafa and get to know some practitioners, you will witness the beauty of Dafa yourself.
