(Minghui.org) After my husband and I moved to a new city, we had fewer responsibilities, so I wanted to guide my husband to read the Fa together.

My husband is kind-hearted. Before retiring, he worked within the system and was well aware of how bad the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was. He endured much hardship when I was persecuted, but he knows Falun Dafa is good. He witnessed the positive changes in me after I began to practice Dafa, so he did not try to stop me. However, he did not begin cultivating.

After retiring my husband became engrossed in his phone, making it challenging to encourage him to study the Fa. I thought about how to help him deepen his understanding of Dafa. Years ago, he hand-copied Zhuan Falun once. I wanted him to study the Fa but couldn’t persuade him. One day, I suggested, “Why don’t you hand-copy Zhuan Falun? You write quickly, so it won’t take long. By hand-copying it you’ll see what Master teaches. I’ve practiced for years but you still don’t know what Zhuan Falun is about.” To my surprise, he agreed and hand-copied the entire book.

This year I said to him, “You’ve hand-copied Zhuan Falun and gained some understanding of Dafa’s principles. A human body is special, being born in China is precious, and encountering the righteous Fa is extraordinary. You have all three—wouldn’t it be a pity not to practice Dafa? I study the Fa slowly on my own, but you read quickly. Let’s study together to make faster progress.” With that, he began studying the Fa with me. I sensed that his time to practice had arrived.

One of my husband’s classmates from our hometown lives near us. The classmate’s wife, Jie, has practiced Dafa for over 20 years, but her husband remained unfamiliar with Dafa. When Jie heard that my husband started studying the Fa, she also wanted to encourage her husband to join. Her husband was reluctant to agree, which made her anxious.

I thought that Jie’s intention to help her husband obtain the Fa was not coincidental; it was something that I was meant to help with. I discussed with my husband, “Shall we go to Jie’s house to study the Fa? She heard we’re studying together and would like her husband to join. Let’s study with them—four of us together would be wonderful. You can share your experience of studying the Fa with her husband.” With this firm resolve in my heart my husband agreed to go.

At Jie’s house I said to her husband, “Jie has been studying the Fa for years, yet you don’t really know what Zhuan Falun is about. She hopes you’ll study with us. Let’s learn together so you can understand Dafa.” My husband added, “We’ve already studied one lecture at home. Join us! Master’s teachings are nothing like the CCP’s propaganda claims.” Jie’s husband didn’t refuse and agreed to study with us.

Before retiring, these two men held significant positions—one was at the bureau level, the other was a deputy school principal, and both were deeply influenced by the CCP’s toxic culture. Their willingness to step into Dafa is truly heartening, and I was overjoyed for them. I know this is all Master’s doing, compassionately ensuring that no one with potential is left behind. Thank you Master!

Unexpectedly, Jie’s husband showed remarkable insight. After studying the first lecture of Zhuan Falun, I asked, “Do either of you (Jia’s husband and my husband) have anything to share?” To my surprise, Jie’s husband said, “Master speaks with such sincerity!” I was astonished that after reading just the first lecture, he could sense Master’s sincerity. His words nearly moved me to tears, and I regretted not encouraging them to read sooner.

After the second lecture, Jie’s husband said, “Master knows astronomy and geography.” Later, he added, “I read carefully, the language and writing are impeccable.” As a novelist with many publications and expertise in language, his comments, though initially showing some disrespect toward Dafa due to his newness to it, showed he genuinely admired it.

This experience touched me deeply. Some people around us, though not yet cultivators, have a strong affinity with Dafa and good comprehension. They’ve been harmed by the CCP’s falsehoods, and misled by modern science. I blame myself for not urging them to study the Fa sooner. In the 20 to 30 years since we obtained the Fa, how often have we encouraged our family members to read and practice? Reflecting on this, I recognized my shortcomings.

The four of us have now read Zhuan Falun once. As a veteran practitioner, I feel it’s my responsibility to guide new practitioners well, which also tests my kindness and patience. Jie’s husband, after finishing the book, said he’d read on his own and didn’t want to continue with us. I know it’s hard for them to persist alone under the current circumstances. Thus, I’m determined to overcome all obstacles and encourage them.

I hope practitioners will guide their families and those with predestined connections to obtain the Fa. This is part of our mission to spread Dafa to all beings. Let’s ensure that those around us don’t miss this opportunity to connect with Dafa.
