Dafa’s Miraculous Effects Are Revealed to My 90-year-old Mother

(Minghui.org) My mother was a Buddhist and had some supernormal capabilities, such as being able to heal other people’s illnesses. But she suffered from many ailments, including heart and liver disease, hemorrhoids, and gynecological problems.

She felt a lump in her intestines in 1996. The hospital was unable to diagnose it, so she went to the city’s epidemic prevention center and tested positive for three of the five indicators of colorectal cancer. The other two indicators were not tested due to a lack of testing agents. She was admitted to the hospital for colon cancer. During her stay, two patients in the same ward died, which scared her so much that she dared not stay there any longer.

After returning home, my mother kept taking medicine. She even kept a pill box under her pillow. To treat her liver disease, she was eating a plant called baby’s breath (gypsophila) that grows in the fields. When an attack was severe, her whole face was swollen, and her cheekbones were red.

A friend gave me the book Falun Gong in 1996. I read it and was struck by how good it was. Master Li was so compassionate and the principles he taught were easy to understand. He answered many of the questions in my life, making things crystal clear. I also bought Zhuan Falun and read it in one go. I couldn’t put it down. From then on, I embarked on the path of Dafa cultivation. In less than a month, all my illnesses disappeared.

I said to my mother, “Why don’t you practice Falun Dafa?” She replied, “What do I do if my previous master doesn’t care about me anymore and this new master doesn’t care about me either?”

“Buddhas don’t fight for disciples as humans do. This Master of Dafa is very compassionate. As long as you practice Dafa, he will definitely take care of you!”

My mother then started practicing Falun Dafa. Not long after, she suddenly had blood in her stool. At first, I thought it was hemorrhoids and didn’t take it seriously. A week passed, and she was still bleeding profusely. But she was not concerned. The bleeding kept flowing until the 17th day when my mother’s face turned pale.

I didn’t know what to do and told her to take some coagulant medicine. My mother declined, and the bleeding stopped the next morning. I felt relaxed and inexpressibly happy. I understood that it was Master who was helping my mother eliminate her karma and purify her body. My mother realized that Master took care of her.

Since then, my mother’s heart disease and hemorrhoids have been cured, and she looks younger. A fortune teller once said my mother could only live into her 80’s. It was Master who prolonged her life.

My mother later told me that she had her menstrual period. She was almost 90 at the time. This was simply incredible for ordinary people to understand, but Dafa practitioners know that Master said,

“After a period of cultivation, our Falun Dafa students look quite different in appearance. Their skin becomes delicate and fair with rosy cheeks. For the elderly, there is a reduction in the number of wrinkles, even to the point of having very, very few left—this is quite a common phenomenon. I am not talking here about something far-fetched or inconceivable; many of our elderly students sitting here know this point. In addition, elderly women will regain their menstrual period since a cultivation practice of mind and body requires menses to cultivate the body. One’s period will come, but the menstrual flow will not be much. At present, that little bit will suffice. This is also a common phenomenon. Otherwise, without it how can you cultivate your body?” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)

Under Master’s care, my mother was happy every day. She could do housework, knit sweaters, buy groceries, and cook. Our neighbors were very envious of us, saying, “You are so blessed!” They all knew that my mother practiced Falun Dafa.

My mother never went to school and could not read. Therefore, studying Dafa was a big challenge for her. But she had an extraordinary will. While listening to us reading, she was able to memorize each character in Zhuan Falun.

One day, I overheard her reading Zhuan Falun by herself. It seemed odd, and I asked her, “Do you know all the words?” She exclaimed it was Master who taught her how to recognize the words. She said that when words she didn’t recognize appeared when she was reading, Master taught her in her dreams to recognize them one by one. From then on, she was able to study the Fa on her own. I would see her sitting alone on the bed and studying the Fa earnestly when I returned home. The scene was very touching.

At my mother’s advanced age, she didn’t need to wear reading glasses. She said that Master enlarged the words for her when she was reading Zhuan Falun, and they were all golden.

My mother couldn’t go outside to do the exercises with us in the morning, so she did them at home by herself. She once told me she saw that the sky above our practice site was covered in red light. My mother also watches Master’s lecture videos often. She said she liked listening to his Northeastern accent, which was particularly familiar to her.

We were moved when we saw my mother’s white hair had turned black. Compassionate Master let us witness the power of Dafa to encourage us.

Because our family was very poor, my mother and our daughters-in-law often had conflicts over financial issues. Whenever the daughters-in-law mentioned their mother-in-law, they always had a lot of complaints. My mother also had endless complaints about them. But after she started practicing Falun Dafa, she followed the Fa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and kept Master’s requirements firmly in her heart.

Gradually, she no longer mentioned those things that used to make her angry. The matters were resolved, and her mind became broader. She took the initiative to contact her daughters-in-law and often thought about them. The relationship between them improved greatly. Honestly speaking, if it were not for Falun Dafa, she would not have changed her mindset that had formed over such a long time.

My mother was very strict with herself. When she had questions about the Fa, she would often ask us. She never slacked off when we studied the Fa together. She did the exercises diligently and never fell behind. Most of all, she had unshakable faith in Dafa.

Being elderly, her practice of Falun Dafa has had a great influence on the people around her. My home was close to a market, so my mother started to tell people the truth about Dafa and help Master save people. She was not very eloquent, but when people learned of her age, they were shocked because she looked like a person in her 60s or 70s. She told people about the many illnesses that were cured after she began practicing. She also asked them to remember: “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”

My mother often said it was not easy for farmers to grow vegetables, so it would be easier to talk to them about Dafa when we bought their produce. In order to save people, my family sometimes bought too many vegetables, which we had to give away to the neighbors. Whenever she went to the market, the sellers would tell other customers: “Do you know how old this lady is? She practices Falun Dafa!”

A man once told my mother, “My stomach disease was cured by reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!’”

After she finished shopping at our vegetable market, my mother went to another one. Sometimes she rode with another practitioner’s electric bike to distant places. My mother went out to clarify the truth in the morning no matter the weather and studied the Fa at home in the afternoon.

I was once illegally sentenced and held in a detention center. When my mother visited me, she told the director of the detention center the truth about Dafa and the persecution without any fear.

The director was particularly respectful to her and personally escorted her to the gate. He must have felt my mother’s kindness, which paved the way for him to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) when I had the opportunity to approach him.

My mother has a very good relationship with the neighbors. An old lady lives alone downstairs from our apartment. Whenever my mother sees her, she always asks about her well-being and often asks me to take her some food. My mother is great. She and my child helped each other and lived a hard life when my wife and I were both imprisoned by the CCP. They maintained the family until we were released.

The local 610 Office personnel once attempted to take me to a brainwashing center, so my mother moved with us to a remote place overnight. The new residence was in poor condition and was inconvenient in every way. But she stayed with us without any complaint.

My mother once experienced an irregular heartbeat. But she was not deceived by the false appearance. The first thing she thought of was to ask Master to save her. She finally overcame the tribulation with righteous thoughts. She also learned how to look inward and get rid of her attachments afterward.

On the path of cultivation, my mother has been validating Dafa with her every word and deed.
