Sharing Falun Dafa With My Friends and Family

(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. In 28 years of cultivation, I have experienced Master Li’s boundless compassion and Dafa’s miraculous power. With a grateful heart, I want to share several experiences that happened to my friends and family.

My Miraculous Experience of Starting Cultivation

In May of 1996, my father, who had just begun practicing Falun Dafa, enthusiastically recommended it to me. However, I was not impressed. My father said, “This practice is different from other qigong practices. It emphasizes xinxing cultivation and guides people to high levels.”

I asked my father, “What does it mean to guide people to high levels?” He handed me the book Zhuan Falun and videos of Master Li’s Fa lectures and asked me to study them when I returned home.

I began watching Master’s lectures two weeks later. I watched from 8:00 p.m. until midnight, and it felt like a clear spring was flowing into my heart. I was excited, amazed, and joyful. Although I did not fully understand the content, I felt the practice was righteous and that Master was very kind. As I watched the videos, I felt a warm current move through my body three times. I didn’t know what was happening, felt a little scared, and turned off the DVD player.

The next day, I told my father what had happened the previous night. He was very excited and said I had a predestined relationship with Dafa, that Master had accepted me as his disciple, and that he was cleansing my body. I opened Zhuan Falun and carefully read the section called “Guanding.” It was amazing, because I experienced what Master described! Not long after I started practicing, the headaches that had plagued me for years vanished without my even noticing. I have not been ill in the 28 years since.

My Husband Changes

My husband is kind and optimistic. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Dafa, he was deceived by the slanderous propaganda and tried to stop me from practicing. But later, after personally experiencing Master’s compassion and the beauty of Dafa, he came to support my practice.

My husband used to have a herniated lumbar disc that would flare up at any time. Whenever this happened, he suffered and could not stand or sit. He could not even bear to lie in bed. He had visited several hospitals, but found no relief. When he relapsed, his pain was so severe that he had a hard time walking. He was usually very active and loved sports, but he was reduced to being like a helpless child. His expression showed hopelessness. I comforted him and suggested that he recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and ask for Master’s help.

He didn’t believe this would help him and declined to give it a try. I gave him several examples of people who turned misfortune into good fortune after repeating the two phrases. He then agreed and started reciting them. As he continued repeating the phrases silently, the pain grew weaker. When he woke up the next morning, he could walk again, and delight spread across his face. Over the next 20 years, he’s never had that problem again.

My husband burns incense in front of Master’s portrait and bows in gratitude on Master’s birthday and the Chinese New Year. He also buys fruit and flowers as offerings. He occasionally reads Dafa books and does the exercises. And although he hasn’t started practicing, he disciplines himself according to Dafa’s principles. He runs a business and has often encountered manufacturers or clients who paid him more than required. He always returns the overpayments. And if he received counterfeit banknotes while doing business, he never used them to deceive others and immediately disposed of them.

My husband sometimes helps me validate the Fa. While I was illegally detained, he and other practitioners visited the related government departments to secure my release. What is truly remarkable is that for the three years I was in prison, he continued burning incense and placing fruit in front of Master’s portrait.

My Cousin’s Story

My cousin is named Xiao Xu. Twenty years ago, he had a girlfriend named Xiao Juan. One night, Xiao Juan had a terrifying dream in which a man with a repulsive appearance and a murderous look on his face said to her, “You belong to me. You are not allowed to associate with Xiao Xu.”

Xiao Juan was scared and told Xiao Xu about her dream. Initially, Xiao Xu did not take it seriously and comforted her, “It was just a dream. No need to give it much thought.”

But that night, Xiao Xu unexpectedly dreamed that this man told him the same thing. Worse yet, they both had the same dream repeatedly. The man with a repulsive appearance latched onto them like an evil specter, severely disrupting their lives. They were very worried. Xiao Juan was especially burdened and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

My father and I learned about this and told the couple, “Don’t be afraid. Evil cannot prevail over righteousness; evil fears righteousness. Please repeat ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’” We also gave them Dafa amulets, which they hung around their necks. Since Xiao Xu and Xiao Juan have worn the amulets, the evil specter has not appeared in their dreams, and their lives have returned to normal.

This incident greatly affected my relatives. They all witnessed Dafa’s extraordinary power.

Lingzi and Her Family

Lingzi is a woman I met through her son. One day, her son, Hanghang, an elementary school student, was bullied at school. He came to my supermarket to call his mom. He cried and poured out his grievances. After the call, he was still tearing up. I comforted him and explained the principle of no loss, no gain, how karma gets transformed, and the story of Han Xin enduring the humiliation of crawling between someone’s legs. Hanghang took the stories to heart and stopped crying. He thanked me before he left.

The next day, Lingzi came to the supermarket to see me. She said, “Sister, what did you say to Hanghang yesterday? He really listened to you. Usually, when he’s bullied, I have to make a great effort to calm him down. How did you do it?”

I replied, “I learned those principles from a precious book.” I then clarified the truth about Dafa to Lingzi. She said, “I can tell from your behavior that this practice is good and righteous. I am glad to know that!”

Afterward, Lingzi and Hanghang often came to my shop. Each time, they learned a little more about Dafa and agreed to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Lingzi also bought a copy of Zhuan Falun. We sometimes read Zhuan Falun together. Lingzi and Hanghang often recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” When they’re out walking at night, they often shout out, “Falun Dafa is good!” Lingzi told me she felt happy and taller after saying those words.

Lingzi is a housewife, and her husband is a high-ranking military official. As a well-off family, they always bought the best, most expensive items and were very particular about their food and clothing. After practicing Falun Dafa, she no longer fussed over what she bought, and sometimes chose lower-quality produce. When the seller praised her, she replied, “I’ve read the Dafa book. Our Master asks us to put the needs of others first.”

After visiting her family during the last Chinese New Year, Lingzi brought back a list of a dozen people who had quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, including her mother, siblings, nieces and nephews, and neighbors. Her mother and sister often called to tell her about the miraculous things that happened to them after quitting the CCP.

Her mother had poor health and used to lie in bed all day. After she recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” her health improved. She later felt well enough to not only take care of herself, but also to handle all the housework and prepare meals. Everyone who knew her was amazed by these changes.

Lingzi and her family now often share their own experiences with others and tells them about Dafa’s beauty.
