(Minghui.org) I had a major conflict with a colleague at work in 2009. Since we crossed paths daily, I had to endure her cold stares, bitter words, and even veiled insults, leaving me unable to eat or sleep properly. I realized that, if this continued, it would affect my health, so I decided to resign.

While spending more time at home, one day I noticed a book in the living room titled Zhuan Falun, which a relative had brought over earlier. Curious, I began to read it, and the more I read, the more I was drawn to continue. By the time I reached the last page, I just wanted to know more, and after closing the book, I cried. I felt that the book was very precious, and I wanted to practice Falun Dafa. I felt if I didn't, I would regret it in the future. From that moment, I embarked on the path of cultivation and became a Falun Dafa practitioner. I feel deeply honored and fortunate to be a practitioner in the Fa-rectification period.

Master has imparted to us the principles of the universe and taught us how to become good people and shed our attachments. After practicing for more than a decade, I have gained good health and a calm temperament, let go of my ego, learned to consider others first, and become a respectful daughter.

Before I took up cultivation, I was selfish and self-centered, and everything revolved around me. Ever since I was a child, I would get my own way and refused to do anything if things didn’t go my way. Others could never touch my belongings, and my parents dared not speak out against me, afraid of making me angry. Sometimes I refused to speak to them for days if I was upset. I was also physically weak, so I never helped with any household chores. After I got married, as a sentimental person, I always expected my husband to treat me well. When I felt neglected, I often became sad, emotional, or angry. However, my husband always believed he was right, so we argued all lthe time.

After I started practicing Dafa, I held myself to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and considered others first. I also regained my health, became free of illness, and was full of energy.

I have learned to be more patient and understanding with my husband. When he scolds me, I no longer answer back; instead, I listen with a sincere heart. While he worked at a construction site in another city, during his breaks, I took care of everything at home without him lifting a finger. I made sure to buy food and snacks that he enjoyed. When disagreements or conflicts arose between us, I looked inward and examined myself. So we rarely argue now. My husband has noticed the changes in me. “My wife has changed. She is becoming unselfish,” he remarked to a friend.

Filial piety used to be just a phrase to me before, and I never gave it much thought, let alone acted on it. It was only after I began practicing Dafa that I truly began to understand its meaning and put it into action—considering my parents’ needs, volunteering to help with their household chores, buying them treats and clothes, and chatting with them. Even when they scolded me or showed favoritism to other siblings, although I felt hurt and sad, I reminded myself that I should let go of my attachments and align myself with Dafa. I continued to treat them kindly, and I treated my in-laws the same way.

Over the years, my older sister has moved several times. Each time she relocated, I helped her clean her house and always chose the difficult tasks, such as cleaning the toilets or moving heavy furniture. Although it was tough and tiring, my heart was filled with joy.

All of my family members witnessed the improvement in my temperament and health and acknowledged the greatness of Dafa.

Reflecting now, I feel ashamed of how I dealt with the conflict with that colleague back in 2009. She was much older than I, yet I confronted her head-on, causing her great distress. Back then, I lacked respect, refused to yield, couldn’t tolerate injustice, and was attached to personal gain. Measured against the standards of Dafa practitioners, I realized that I was totally wrong. Later, I learned that another Dafa practitioner shared the truth about Dafa with her, and she embraced it fully. I was happy for her righteous stand.

Sometimes I reflect on how different my life would be without Dafa. I might have been caught up in constant strife, suffering both physically and mentally, wasting my life away without a purpose. I was so fortunate to find Dafa and cultivate—a rare opportunity that might not happen in a thousand years. Dafa has transformed me—I have learned to be kind, care for others, and cultivate my character. I sincerely hope that many more people will come to understand the wonders of Falun Dafa.

Master, I am deeply grateful for your compassionate salvation. Thank you, Master!
