(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2016, and I’ve been through many trials and tribulations in my cultivation. My family, coworkers, and friends also benefited from Dafa.

My Husband’s Changes

My husband is a typical Northeasterner, generous and upright. Although he is not a practitioner, he does not object to my practicing Falun Dafa, and sometimes he even helps me with some Dafa projects.

He drank and smoked for more than 40 years, since he was a teenager, and couldn’t eat without drinking alcohol. He drank a large glass of strong liquor at lunch and dinner, and had beer like it was water in the summer. He used to smoke 40 packs of cigarettes every month. No matter how I encouraged him to stop drinking and smoking, he didn’t listen. If I pressured him, he became angry.

One year on his birthday, my husband got drunk. The next day, he told me that he had a dream in which four or five little demons tried to drag him away. He couldn’t fight them alone and told them, “I can’t beat you, but my wife can. She practices Falun Dafa.” Then, he saw me running toward them, and the demons quickly disappeared.

I often told my husband practitioners’ cultivation stories. He usually listened quietly, and even once told me: “There are smoking demons behind smokers, and drinking demons behind drinkers. However, I just can’t stop it.”

In late 2022, his health deteriorated. After a series of tests and painful waiting, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. Hearing the devastating news, I cried every day. My husband pretended to be strong, but he was very anxious.

At this difficult time, a practitioner couple greatly helped me. They comforted me, encouraged me, and helped me to raise some money. After the first hospitalization for chemotherapy, my husband’s condition improved. Amazingly, he did not have a bad reaction during the treatment. Even his doctor said, “He doesn’t look ill at all. His face is glowing!”

When my husband came home from the hospital, I read to him the part about treating illness in Zhuan Falun. I explained that the illness was caused by karma, and there was a being in another dimension causing the illness. Master helps practitioners eliminate the karma we accumulated in our different lifetimes, so we are free of illness.

One night, I had symptoms of eliminating karma. I felt very uncomfortable, vomited, and had diarrhea. My husband wanted to take me to see a doctor, but I refused. The next morning, I went to work listlessly. When I got off work that night, I came home in high spirits.

“You have seen a doctor, haven’t you?” asked my husband. I said no. “Did you take some medicine?” he inquired. I said no again. He looked puzzled and asked, “How did you get well then?”

I told him what happened: I was feeling ill at work, then suddenly a thought came to me. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. Just because of this thought, my body immediately felt light, and I no longer felt sick.

My husband looked at me with an incredulous expression. I knew it was hard for a non-practitioner to understand how amazing cultivation is and a practitioner’s gratitude toward Master. I said, “You know, I used to take medicine whenever I felt ill. Yet, after I truly practiced Falun Dafa, I haven’t taken even one pill. All the medicines at home are yours.”

His complexion was unusually dark when he came home one day and he said he had trouble breathing. I told him, “You are paying off karma. You should ask Master for help.” I continued to speak to the ‘debt collectors,’ “If my husband hurt you in his previous lifetimes, please forgive him. Now he is a family member of a Dafa practitioner. Please leave!”

That night, I dreamed the gate of our home opened, and several beings flew out of my husband’s body. Three beings flew away, and a large being flew into another room and hid there. The next morning, my husband’s complexion was normal, and so was his breathing.

My husband was still very addicted to smoking and drinking. In the fall of 2023, a lump appeared on the right side of his neck, which quickly grew to the size of a fist and was extremely painful. While he underwent another round of examinations and treatments, I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the negative elements. I also patiently encouraged him.

My husband struggled to handle it and asked why this happened to him. He often said things that were full of sadness. I remained calm. I dreamed he suddenly disappeared when I talked to him. I looked around but could not find him. I suddenly heard his voice from underground. I shouted his name and managed to drag him out from the shallow soil. Then I saw my husband’s oldest and third brothers emerge from deeper soil.

When he underwent radiotherapy, the other patients who shared the same room with him had bad reactions to the treatment. Some had sore throats, some had fevers, and some died. Because he was blessed by Dafa, my husband was able to eat and drink and was discharged after the treatment.

My husband no longer drinks, and he smokes much less. He’s recovered very well. I know Master is eliminating the karma from his body. Master has always protected us!

“Your Master Must Be Really Good!”

One day in August 2024, Xia, a coworker, came to me and said, “Last night I recited, ‘Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good.’”

Xia was very thin, and she had recently struggled with insomnia. She tried both Chinese and Western treatments, but they did not help. Some time ago, I talked about Dafa briefly with her, and she agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party. When I heard about her health issues, I suggested she recite the Falun Dafa principles, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good.” It’s the Buddha Fa, and it’s also the standard for human beings.

“When reciting, you should recite the words with your heart sincerely, so all the cells in your body recite the words with you. All divine beings want to see in you is your kind heart.”

“I will remember it,” Xia nodded.

I have been friends with another person, Yu, for more than 20 years. Over time, we seldom saw each other, but whenever we did, she enjoyed listening to me tell her my cultivation stories. She said she learned a lot from me.

Yu contacted me in the summer of 2024. I talked again about the wonders of practicing Dafa and how I improved my character. “You are indeed a good person,” said Yu. “You are nice to everyone. You work hard and you have a firm faith.”

“Working hard is what people should do. My faith in Dafa is what brought me to where I am today,” I replied.

“I know a few other people who practice Dafa,” Yu continued. “All of you are really good people. This shows that your Master must be really good!”
