(Minghui.org) I came across Zhuan Falun in the summer of 1998 and I couldn’t put the book down. It is a wonderful book that teaches people to become good people by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Why didn’t I know about it earlier? It lightened up my dark life and I was filled with joy.
While only 28 years old at the time, I had been tortured by many long-term diseases, including severe neurasthenia, stomach issues, cervical osteophytes, and sciatica. I was thin and weak with a sallow complexion. I had to limp home after working in the field all day; I had to stand up slowly after working in a squatting position since I would be really dizzy; my bone spurs always hurt; my stomach caused me severe pain when it went wrong. I was easily irritated and had no hope.
But even before I finished reading the book, all my illnesses were gone. My body was so light that it felt like I was going to levitate. I could not believe that the book brought me such drastic changes in such a short time.
I became truly illness-free, and I have not had to take any medicine for over twenty years.
Once, I was carrying two heavy cases of Dafa materials with both hands, when the handle of one box was broken. I became anxious and did not know what to do. I tried to grab the broken handle to pick up the box. Surprisingly, I felt no weight and easily carried it with one hand. I realized that Master was helping me. I then picked up the other box with the other hand and went home. I was so grateful for Master’s protection.
With me practicing Dafa, my husband and our three children all benefit from it as well. They, like me, have not been to the hospital during the past over 20 years. They read Dafa books and believe in Master and Dafa.
My oldest daughter had excellent grades even though she had never enrolled in any after-school tutoring classes like most kids did. She read Zhuan Falun every day after school before doing her homework. She learned to take care of herself during high school, waking up at 5:30 a.m., having her breakfast, then taking the bus for an hour to get to school. She received scholarships throughout high school. When she brought home her first scholarship of 300 yuan, she gave 100 yuan each to her two grandmothers, and the remaining 100 yuan to a practitioner to help print Dafa materials.
She did very well on the college entrance exams and was accepted to her ideal university. She was an excellent student during her college years as well. She received scholarships every year and graduated as an honor student. While in college, she took a couple of part-time jobs to make money, gained some experience, and got to know more people. One of the stores she worked at increased sales since she started working there. The owner said that she brought good luck to the store.
She gave us her own savings when we bought a car and a house. As a young practitioner, she stands out in society today.
My younger daughter is studying in a well-known high school and knows to measure things according to Dafa.
My son is in elementary school. When he was one year old, he once stood in front of Master’s picture and made a deep bow, solemnly and respectfully, like a mature man. I could not believe my eyes. Many of his behaviors showed that he is truly here for obtaining Dafa. When he was seven years old, he recited the phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” when he needed help.
My husband is very good at doing business. He went to the city by himself at the age of 16 to buy and sell watermelons to make money. However, with the moral decline in society, he became dishonest in his business and cheated customers sometimes, which sadly was considered “smart” in business.
After I began practicing Dafa, he read Dafa books and realized his wrongdoings. From then on, he was honest in his business, returned the extra money people gave him, and never hesitated to help the elderly and children in need.
After the persecution of Dafa began in 1999, he was afraid of our family being persecuted and did not allow me to go out to tell people the truth about Dafa and the persecution. He even thought about divorcing me. During that time, I had to wait for him and the children to fall asleep at night before going out to distribute Dafa materials and then quietly return.
Over time, I told him more about the persecution and he changed his attitude as I was very careful about safety. He also helped me to fetch materials from other practitioners and carried heavy boxes for me. Now he wants to help more people to know the truth by donating money to make Dafa materials and giving them to people.
His parents benefited because of his change. One time, my mother-in-law forgot to turn off the gas after cooking dinner. When she began to cook breakfast the next morning, the kitchen caught fire at once. But the fire only burned a few things on the floor and quickly died out itself. My father-in-law quickly turned off the gas.
When he called my husband to tell him what happened, my husband realized that Master was watching over his parents and protecting them. He could not imagine the consequences otherwise, since there were so many things in their home that could easily catch fire.
