My Family Benefits from My Practicing Dafa

(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. I have navigated these 28 years safely under the protection of our compassionate Master Li, who has been cared for me. Thank you, Master, for your compassionate salvation! I’d like to share some of my cultivation experiences and tell how my family members have benefited from Dafa.

Before I became a practitioner, I hurt all over. I went to the hospital many times and had all kinds of tests, but they couldn’t find out what was wrong with me. I just didn’t feel well. My family was very worried. My eldest son was studying in another city, and the first thing he would ask me when he got home was if I was any better. He was very responsible, and every time he came home, he expressed concern about my health.

My son graduated and started working, earning just 170 yuan his first month on the job. Still, he bought me a box of medicine and told me how good the TV said it was. I took the medicine five times, but it didn’t do anything for me. I told my son not to buy it again, because what the TV said might not be true.

I went to a friend’s place and saw a room full of people exercising when I walked in on January 29, 1997. My friend’s wife dragged me into the room and said, “Why don’t you try this exercise?” She said that they were practicing something called Falun Gong and how good it was for curing illnesses and staying fit. I told her that I could barely stand, so how could I ever learn to do that. She said, “Yes, you can.” So I learned the exercises.

After doing the exercises for only three days, I felt comfortable and really had the feeling of being illness-free and feeling light when I walked. This practice was great! My family saw hope for my recovery and were extremely happy. They all said that the practice was really good and thanked Master. I asked my husband, “How about we set up a practice site in our home?” He very much agreed. We set up a practice site at our place the next day, and more than 50 people eventually came to learn and do the exercises every day.

After practicing for two weeks, I saw Master in a dream. He was seated in meditation, coming slowly towards me from a distance. I was very happy.

Improving My Character as I Clarified the Truth

After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Dafa in July 1999, Dafa practitioners started to clarify the truth. One time, after group Fa study, I went out with fellow practitioners to clarify the truth instead of going straight home. I got home late, almost 11 o’clock, and my husband wouldn’t let me in or open the door. I then recited Master’s teaching:

“Be resolute cultivating Dafa, the mind unstirredAscending in levels is what’s fundamentalFaced with tests, a person’s true character is revealedMay you achieve Consummation—Buddha, Dao, or God”(“True Character Revealed,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress II)

I repeated it again and again. As I was reciting it, my husband opened the door, smiled, and said, “Don’t come home so late in the future.” He’d been very worried, so I thanked him.

I went out to mail truth-clarification letters one day and was hit by a car at an intersection. I fell face down and couldn’t see a thing at first. Then I looked up and saw the driver picking up pieces of his car. I was confused: “How could I damage a car?” I stood up and saw the driver was horrified. He said, “Are you hurt? I can’t move my car, but I’ll find one to take you to the hospital.” I said I was fine.

He took out 60 yuan and held out 50. I said, “I don’t want your money, even if you try to give me 50,000 yuan. I practice Falun Dafa. I’m fine.” I told him that sincerely and respectfully reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” would help him avoid danger and be blessed. He kept bowing to me and said, “I encountered a good person today!” He asked me for my phone number and said he would come to see me later. He patted me here and there and finally said, shaking his head, “At your age, how can you not be hurt?” I said, “I have Master taking care of me. It’s fine.”

Master Prolonged My Husband’s Life

After July 20, 1999, the police kept coming to my home to ask if I still practiced Falun Gong. One time, they came when my husband was home. He said to them, “Do you have anything else to say? Don’t say what you started to say—I don’t want to hear it. Look at how you’ve harmed people. Thousands of people all over the country used to practice Falun Gong. Those who were ill were cured; those who were not ill became healthier; and moral standards were improving. But now you have killed so many good people. What are you doing? Don’t come to my house again unless you have something else to say!” What he said left the police speechless, and they left in shame.

My husband would pick up all the truth-clarification pamphlets and CDs he found discarded outside and would ask me to clean them up and distribute them again. He also helped me mail truth-clarification letters.

My husband fell ill when he was in his 40s, and he got worse by the day. Doctors of both Chinese and Western medicine examined him. They all said that he was in critical condition and told us to prepare for his death. We even bought him burial clothes. But little by little he got better. Benevolent and great Master prolonged his life. My husband passed away at the age of 66. He had terminal lung cancer, but he still got up every day instead of lying in bed. He passed away in the middle of the night. I think he was blessed because he believed Falun Dafa is good, had been supportive of me practicing it, and had done things to help spread the truth about it.

My Sons Have Benefited from Dafa

Before 1999, my son was in an accident at work and was buried in coal for more than two hours before being dug out. It was frightening, but he was not harmed. I said to him, “It was Master who protected you. That’s why you are fine. You should thank him.” He then said, “Thank you, Master!”

Once my son and his friend went out on a motorcycle to do some work at night. They had an accident on the way, and my son was thrown about 15 meters (about 50 feet). He was seriously injured with a cut on face and his neck of alignment. His friend’s family wanted to take him to a big hospital, but my son declined. He said, “Your family is not well-off. I’ll just get a few shots in the clinic where I work.” Although my son does not practice Dafa, he conducts himself like a good person by following Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. He returned to work a little over two weeks after the accident. I said to him, “You fell so hard. If Master hadn’t saved you, you wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.” My son believed in Master and Dafa even more.

One evening around 10 o’clock, my 46-year-old eldest son lost consciousness. My daughter-in-law believes that Dafa is good. She called out for Master and asked Master to save him. My son woke up after three days in intensive care. After he’d regained consciousness, my daughter-in-law called and told me what had happened, so I rushed to the hospital. I looked at my son, who had just woken up, and saw that half of his body was not working properly. I told him to respectfully recite, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He agreed. After I went home, I burned incense to Master and asked him to save my son. My son recovered quickly. In a month, he was able to get out of bed and move around with the help of a walker. He was discharged from the hospital and went home in less than two months. He went back to work in three months. The fact that he recovered so well convinced our friends and relatives to respect and admire Falun Dafa and Master even more.

Thank you, Master, for saving my sons. I will definitely walk my cultivation path well!
