Validating Dafa at All Times

(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, and have followed Master’s teachings and Dafa’s standards to be a good person who cares for others, to validate the beauty of Dafa. I would like to share two of my cultivation experiences.

My Daughter’s In-Laws Said Falun Dafa Is Good from the Bottom of Their Hearts

We live in the city, and my daughter’s husband is from the countryside. They have two boys, six and two years old. My daughter’s parents-in-law take care of both children in the countryside. When my daughter went to her in-laws’ house to visit her sons, we usually went with them. Each time we bought some fruit and snacks for the children. One time, I bought the mother-in-law a cotton shirt to keep her cool when it got hot. I also cleaned the house for them, as they were busy taking care of the children and didn’t have time. The most difficult place to clean was the kitchen, where there was a wastewater bucket with a thick layer of black oil. I put on some gloves and used steel wool to scrub the bucket clean. The in-laws were very touched by this.

While I was busy cleaning the house, the mother-in-law was wearing the shirt that I bought her, and holding her grandson to cool off outside. A neighbor asked about her new clothes. She told them that I bought it for her and was cleaning the house for her. People admired her for having good in-laws. When she told me this, I responded, “I wouldn’t be able to do this if I didn’t cultivate Falun Dafa. You are benefiting from Dafa.”

The in-laws supported my practicing Dafa, and said, “Falun Dafa is good,” from the bottom of their hearts.

At first, my husband, who is not a practitioner, complained about my buying things for our daughter’s parents-in-law and cleaning for them. I told him, “I practice Falun Dafa, and have to be a good person wherever I go. Your daughter is not very good at cleaning. We don’t go there often, so it’s no big deal to do some work for them. Besides, we should be considerate of others. They take care of the children day and night, which is very tiring and not easy. It’s no big deal to do more work for them.” Later, he no longer objected to my doing things for our daughter’s in-laws. During the New Year and other festivals, I also bought gifts to visit my son-in-law’s grandmother.

I taught my daughter that filial piety is a very important virtue and that she should respect her in-laws. I shared some traditional stories with her, and told her that her parents-in-law have given so much to her two children, and are great people.

However, I did have some conflicts with my daughter’s parents-in-law. But remembering that I am a cultivator, and following Master’s teachings, the conflicts soon disappeared. For example, during the COVID pandemic, one day at around 8 a.m., my son-in-law called me and informed me that he had beaten my daughter. I knew it was a xinxing test, and told him, “It must be my daughter’s fault, so it’s ok.” I really wasn’t moved at all.

After hanging up the phone, I went to my daughter’s house in the same community. Her mother-in-law was there watching the children. As soon as I entered, the mother-in-law cried and said it was because of a disagreement about educating the children. My son-in-law had pushed my daughter, and my daughter said that he had beaten her.

I told the mother-in-law, “My daughter is really unreasonable. It’s all my fault for not educating her well. I’m really sorry. Stop crying. The quarrel between the young couple will be fine after a while.”

Hearing me say this, the mother-in-law stopped crying and said, “I was also wrong.” This family turmoil ended just like that. It’s great to cultivate Dafa.

I got along very well with my daughter’s in-laws, which impressed many people. I said to the mother-in-law, “We are all blessed by Dafa. Let’s thank Master together.”

Work Colleagues Change Their Attitude Toward Dafa

On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to slander Dafa and persecute practitioners. I went to Beijing to appeal, but was illegally detained in a detention center for a month. When I returned to work, my company would not assign me a position and told me to do odd jobs. My leaders and colleagues were deceived by the CCP’s lies and propaganda in the media. As a result, they were hostile to and discriminated against Falun Dafa practitioners.

One day, during the shift change, a colleague put the salary she had just received into her pocket and went to the toilet. The money fell into the manure pit. She was very anxious because she couldn’t get it out. I told her that I would try to get it out for her, as it was her hard-earned money. People gave me a strange look. I tried to get it out a few times and finally got it. It was very dirty, and the colleague almost vomited after seeing it, and said she didn’t want it. I rinsed it twice to clean it up a bit. She rinsed it a few more times and took the money home.

This incident caused a sensation throughout the whole workshop. The colleagues said that Dafa practitioners are the best. The next day, the colleague who had gotten her money back bought me a bunch of bananas. I said, “Thank you, but please leave them in the workshop and let the others have one.” Everyone was very happy and changed their attitude toward Falun Dafa from then on.

Another time, during the day shift, there was a water leak in the workshop. I used a broom to sweep away the water, and my shoes and pants got wet. The workshop director saw me and told me to go and change them. I said, “I’ll change them after I finish sweeping.” The director later saw that I was still sweeping and urged me to change my clothes to avoid catching a cold. I smiled and said, “It’s okay.”

Through these two incidents, the workshop director completely changed his attitude toward Dafa. Although these incidents were not big things, they planted the seeds of kindness in the hearts of my colleagues.
