(Minghui.org) I am an elderly Falun Dafa practitioner. While clarifying the truth, I realized that when a Dafa practitioner’s words and actions align with the Fa, they themselves become a reflection of Dafa. Because of this, people are more willing to accept the truth about Dafa, come to understand it, and be saved.
My mother-in-law had four sons and no daughters. My husband is her third son. She lived with her youngest, unmarried son. She cooked for her youngest son up until six months before she passed away.
My mother-in-law was a hardworking and independent woman all her life. She never wanted to depend on or trouble others. She lived to 94, and even at her old age, she insisted on bathing herself. After I was released from a year of illegal detention in a labor camp, I saw her condition and thought, “I am a Dafa practitioner and should think of others. I’ll help her wash.” One day, I said to her, “Mother, I’ll wash the spots you can’t reach.” She happily agreed. Sitting in a big wash basin, she let me scrub her back, which was covered with a thick layer of dirt. I scrubbed her back clean over and over. I also washed her hair.
She gratefully pressed her hands together and kept saying, “Heavenly Lord, please bless the third son’s family with prosperity and peace.” I felt she needed help and support at her old age, and continued to help wash her back and hair. It was Dafa that changed me and gave me a kind heart toward my mother-in-law.
One day, I ran into three elderly women and started clarifying the truth to them. I asked, “Ladies, do you know that Dafa is good?” One of them wanted to know what was good about Dafa, as they don’t know. I said, “Falun Dafa teaches people to be good. Since I started practicing, I’ve washed my mother-in-law’s back when she bathes, and she was so happy she kept praising me.”
Hearing this, another woman sighed, “These days, where can you find a daughter-in-law willing to bathe her mother-in-law? Things have really changed!” I took out a truth-clarification booklet and asked them to take it home to learn more about Dafa.
The third woman said, “You’re such a good person! Give me a booklet too.” Because they saw how filial I was, they happily accepted the truth about Dafa and learned the phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
If I made something tasty, I would quickly take it to my mother-in-law or invite her over to eat. Whenever she had something on her mind, she was willing to talk to me. Using the principles I learned from Dafa, I gently reasoned with her, helping her to let go of grudges so she could live more peacefully. She lived to the age of 94.
In 2016, on my way home from visiting my younger brother in the city, I was riding my electric bike when a gust of wind blew my hat up. I held the hat with one hand and accelerated the bike with the other. I rode straight ahead, not noticing a parked car in front of me. The front wheel of my bike slammed into the car’s rear windscreen, and my head somehow made a perfectly round hole in the glass. My bike was damaged, but my head suffered only three small cuts from the glass shards and a bit of bleeding. My lower lip was also cut and bleeding.
The driver got out, pointed at the windscreen, and angrily said, “Look at this!” I was stunned. Seeing my condition, he said, “I shouldn’t have parked here. Ma’am, you should go to the hospital to get checked!”
I replied, “No need, I practice Falun Dafa. You should know that Dafa is good.” Before I could finish clarifying the truth, he drove away. I regretted that he hadn’t fully heard the truth.
After I returned home, I reflected on the strange scene of the accident: the hole in the glass was perfectly round, as if cut by a machine! That evening, while studying the Fa, I realized, “Wasn’t it the Falun that shielded my face?” Master had saved my life! I sincerely thanked Master for protecting me. I also felt regret for not compensating the driver for his broken windscreen.
I am infinitely grateful to Master and Dafa! I only wish that more people will soon come to understand the truth about Dafa, board the ship of salvation, and sail toward the happy shore.
