Falun Dafa’s Blessings on My Family

(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1998. Looking back on my cultivation journey, there have been both hardships and joys. I’ve witnessed so many miracles. Let me share just a few.

My Grandson’s Crossed-Eyes Became Normal

My grandson was born with crossed-eyes. We took him to big hospitals in Beijing and Qingdao. All the doctors we saw said he needed surgery, but he was only two weeks old at the time, so we decided not to take the risk. He later underwent several vision corrections, but none of them helped.

I have been taking care of my grandson and granddaughter since my son’s divorce. As soon as my grandson could talk, I taught him to say, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He was a good boy and said it often.

One day, he told me, “Grandma, I have Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in my eyes. Thank you, Master of Dafa!” I was deeply touched and thankful for his predestination with Falun Dafa.

I sometimes heard him repeat to himself while playing, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He even took the initiative to hand out Shen Yun DVDs to people when we went out together.

By the time he was in middle school, his eyes had improved a lot. They became almost completely normal after his graduation from college. He is now a handsome young man over six feet tall.

My Granddaughter Learned How to Communicate

When my granddaughter was about six months old, we noticed that something wasn’t right. She had no facial expression and couldn’t sit up. We took her to the city hospital. The doctor suggested we take her to the provincial hospital for a better diagnosis.

She was diagnosed with Downs syndrome at the provincial hospital. We were stunned and heartbroken.

My daughter-in-law heard from others that children with Downs syndrome might never be able to walk, or have control over their bowels or bladder. Before my granddaughter turned one, my daughter-in-law divorced my son and didn’t take either of their children.

I have since been raising both grandchildren. The early years were filled with hardship, but I won’t go into details. When I studied the Fa or did the exercises, my grandchildren were with me too. I sometimes played recordings of Master’s lectures to them. They grew up in the light of Buddha’s Compassion.

My granddaughter was able to stand up when she was two years old. I patiently taught her how to walk, one step at a time. Not long after, she began walking on her own. She started kindergarten at age four, though she still couldn’t greet the teacher at that time, but I patiently taught her how to speak. I also taught her to say, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

She was well-behaved. Whenever I sent forth righteous thoughts or studied the Fa, she stayed quiet.

She has learned how to recite poems from Hong Yin and is able to talk just like other kids. Her physical state and cognitive development have caught up with the other children.

Treating My Husband as a Sentient Being

Over all these years of cultivation, the hardest thing for me to let go of has been the resentment toward my husband.

My husband has always looked down on me. No matter what I did, big or small, he would always nitpick. All I received from him was blame, yelling, and even cusses. I have argued with him, and felt bad about it. Sometimes I kept silent and looked within, but I still felt unfairly treated. My resentment for him got worse.

Master taught us:

“To be able to regard anyone and everyone with compassion, to have love for all people, really isn’t something the average person can achieve.” (“A Wake-Up Call”)

“Veterans of the practice need to do this now. This is something dictated by your historic mission, and it is something that every Dafa practitioner who aspires to spiritual greatness must achieve in their practice!” (“A Wake-Up Call”)

I kept Master’s words in my mind. No matter what my husband said or how he treated me, I told myself I must not argue, and that I would treat him as a sentient being to be saved.

When I remained calm and kind, I noticed that his tone changed too. He stopped losing his temper. My change had brought about a change in him.

Master saw that I truly wanted to get rid of this resentment, so he helped remove the bad substance from me.

I no longer hold resentment toward my husband. I feel that the burden has been removed from my heart.
