My Mother Changes Her Attitude Toward Dafa

(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa when I was 38 and it has been 27 years. I have benefited a lot from practicing. I had been weak with many ailments including headaches, blurred vision, hearing loss (at age 36), insomnia, irregular menstruation, right leg pain, neurasthenia, and watery eyes when they were exposed to the wind. My ailments all disappeared within three months of practicing Falun Dafa. I have not taken a pill since. I am healthy and happy, and my family and friends have witnessed this.

My mother admired Dafa after seeing the physical and mental changes that I went through. But she objected to my efforts to clarify the truth because she was afraid of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. She said, “You can practice at home, but don’t tell others about it. It’s dangerous.”

I felt helpless about her attitude, so I avoided her when I went out to clarify the truth. I looked within and tried to remove my emotional attachment to my mother, my fear mentality, my attachment to fame, and other attachments and desires. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all the old-force factors that were interfering with my mother and practitioners’ efforts to validate Dafa.

My mother needed to have seven days of IV drips in a clinic in another village, so I accompanied her. An eight-year-old boy with his eyes closed came to the clinic the next morning. An elderly doctor tried to insert the IV  needle in his arm but wasn't able to, so he inserted it into his ankle. A young doctor came a while later and changed the IV to the boy’s arm.

The boy’s mother was anxious about her son being so sick and asked the doctor when the boy’s fever would break. He said, “I don’t know exactly. Many people have a fever these days.” The boy’s mother said, “Yes, my son’s school is closed because a lot of students have the flu.”

I said to the boy’s mother, “Dafa saves people. Please try saying, 'Falun Dafa is good.'” She scowled at me and said, “I don’t believe it. Some people in my village practice it, but I just don’t believe it.” I then said, “That's all right. Never mind.”

I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the factors blocking the boy’s salvation. After his mother left the room to speak to the doctor, I asked the boy softly, “How old are you? What’s your name?” The boy opened his eyes and said, “I am eight and in grade one. My name is Zheng Yu.”

I told the boy: “I know a secret. You will get better if you understand it. I had many ailments before and recovered after reciting the two phrases, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ You can memorize and recite the two phrases. There is another issue. Are you a member of the Young Pioneers? If you say you will quit it and recite the two phrases sincerely, you will get blessings and you’ll recover tomorrow.” He replied, “I will quit the Young Pioneers and recite the two phrases.” 

His mother came back after a little while and we did not tell her about our discussion. My mother had been sitting beside me and had heard our entire conversation but she did not say anything.

My mother and I went to the clinic for her drip early the next day. The boy and his mother arrived after us. The boy was running and jumping as he entered. The mother and son were happy. The mother said to me with a smile, “It truly worked. He recovered last night. Thank you so much.” I said, “It’s the wonder of Dafa.”

My mother saw this and felt that it was inconceivable. I told her, “Many marvelous things have happened from reciting the two phrases. The boy was pitiful yesterday. I talked to him even though his mother was not receptive because I know that Dafa can save people. I have practiced Dafa for 27 years and have witnessed just how wonderful it is.” My mother’s attitude seemed to change and she said, “Yes, thank you, Dafa. Thank you, Master.”

My mother started to support me clarifying the truth after this experience and has even encouraged people to quit the Chinese Communist Party.
