My Family Members have Successively Attained Dafa

(Minghui.org) I am now in my sixties. Since childhood, I have been frail and plagued by chronic illnesses—such as asthma, stomach ailments, and depression—that persisted throughout my youth. These afflictions tormented me constantly, and back then, I was nothing but skin and bones.

My parents took me to numerous major hospitals in search of cures, and during that time, we also consulted many shamans and witch doctors. They spent every last penny, yet nothing cured my illnesses. At my wits’ end, I turned to practicing numerous qigong methods. Over several years, I wasted both time and money, and my condition only worsened. I told my parents and family, “From now on, I swear I’ll never practice qigong again. It’s all a scam.” This declaration later created significant obstacles for me in finding the true path.

In 1997, my father developed a serious stomach condition. He sought treatment at a major hospital in the provincial capital, where he was diagnosed with severe “bile reflux.” An endoscopy revealed that his entire stomach lining had turned pink, with all the mucosa completely shed.

The doctor warned him, “From now on, you must be extremely careful about what you eat. There’s no better treatment available—it’s all about managing it through diet. Just don’t let the condition worsen.” At that time, every bite of food caused my father excruciating pain. He endured immense suffering and torment. The medicine prescribed in the provincial capital provided some initial relief, but the pain returned as soon as its effects wore off.

Just then, my uncle visited our house and invited my father to his home to learn Falun Dafa. After spending three days at my uncle’s place, my father returned looking like a completely different person. His usual sullen, pale face was gone—now replaced by a rosy complexion and a joyful expression. The whole family found it incredible, truly miraculous! Within half a month, my father could eat any kind of food and had fully recovered.

That very year, after my wife’s persistent pleas and repeated urging, I decided to take the plunge and join her in practicing Falun Dafa. In the early days of my practice, I endured more than a month of illness-related tribulations. I had managed my asthma for years with medication—taking medicine three times a day, missing even one dose was unthinkable. From my understanding of Fa teachings, this was karma being eliminated from my body, and I felt that I needed to stop the medication.

Those nights were sleepless—I couldn’t lie down or sit still. Exhausted, I propped my pillow upright, knelt over it, and gasped for breath. I placed Master’s portrait directly in front of me. I listened attentively to recordings of His teachings. Once my breathing steadied slightly, I began to meditate and practice the exercises.

At that time, I held onto one conviction: since I had chosen to cultivate Falun Dafa, I would trust Master and surrender everything to Him. A month later, under Master’s compassionate protection, I finally overcame this ordeal.

My body experienced a profound transformation. During this time, Master allowed me to witness how evil spirits controlled and persecuted me, and how the Falun eradicated these evil spirits. The visions were shocking, vivid, and beyond description. Even now, tears flow uncontrollably as I recall these moments. Thank you, Master! Thank you, Dafa!

My family witnessed the changes in my father and me, and came to appreciate the wonder of Dafa. My brothers and sisters subsequently obtained the Fa. Here are two examples:

My second sister had just begun practicing the Fa when the persecution started. Out of fear, she stopped cultivating. Soon after, she developed severe depression. During her worst times, she would lie awake for nights on end, tormented and suffering terribly. Each year, she spent a great deal of money on treatment, but as time passed, her condition worsened.

After my repeated encouragement, she returned to Dafa cultivation. I asked her, “Didn’t you spend over 200,000 yuan on treatments over the years?” She replied, “It wasn’t just 200,000 yuan—it was over 300,000 yuan.” I said, “Look at that. You spent all that money and suffered so much. What was the point? This time, really reflect on yourself and cultivate sincerely. Everything will be behind you.” She said, “This time, I will definitely continue cultivating.” Over the years, my second sister has transformed into a cheerful and optimistic person.

Now, about my youngest sister. Among all sisters, she was one of the last to obtain the Fa. She and her husband worked away from home year-round. She developed trigeminal neuralgia, which left her unable to eat for long periods of time and caused severe swelling to one half of her face.

Eventually, even medications failed to relieve the pain. With no alternatives, they traveled to their son’s place in Shanghai to prepare for surgery at a major hospital. After examination, the hospital said inflammation was present and the surgery could only proceed after it subsided. They returned home, but after several days of anti-inflammatory treatment, her condition did not improve.

She sought out my older sister and said, “Sis, please let me read the Dafa book. The pain is unbearable—I can’t take it anymore.” My sister gave her Zhuan Falun. The next morning, she called to say, “Last night, the pain was much less.”

My sister advised her, “Practice diligently. This time you’ll see the pain disappear.” A few days later, everything returned to normal. Her son called to ask if the inflammation had subsided. She told him, “I’m healed. No surgery needed. The pain is completely gone, and the swelling in my face has disappeared.” Her son asked in astonishment, “Really?” She replied, “It’s true! It’s true!”

Just like what Master mentioned:

“Those who really have a predestined relationship and can enlighten will come one after another, entering the Dao and obtaining the Fa.” (Enlightenment, Essentials For Further Advancement)

Our siblings and spouses have successively obtained the Fa, experiencing profound improvements in both body and mind. As a result, our family enjoys happiness and fulfillment. Dozens of family members have withdrawn from the Party and affiliated organizations.

Despite the challenging economic climate in China, our younger relatives have each secured stable jobs and are thriving in their careers with promising prospects, remaining unaffected by external difficulties. They often say, “We know Dafa is good. We recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good.’”
