(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang, 79, is in perfect health and looks younger than her age. She frequently rides her tricycle and greets everyone she passes. Seeing her healthy face, people cannot help but ask her the secret of keeping so healthy. The question would lead her to telling her cultivation stories.
Dafa Saved My Life
I used to suffer chronic cholecystitis, gastric inflammation and other illnesses, which required hospitalization and additional visits to clinics several times a year. I was diagnosed with severe coronary heart disease in April 1994, causing arrhythmia problems, weakness, and tightness of the chest.
I saw Falun Dafa practitioners doing exercises one day when walking in a park. Out of curiosity, I walked toward to the group. One of the practitioners greeted me and taught me the exercises. I then decided to start practicing Falun Dafa. All my illnesses that had plagued me for a long time miraculously disappeared one month later. I knew that Falun Dafa had saved my life.
Defending Dafa After Onset of Persecution
I planned to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa in Beijing when the practice was suppressed and the unprecedented persecution began in 1999. However, my son, who worked for a police department, repeatedly stopped me. I still went out to talk to people about Falun Dafa. I told people: “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is righteous. Everything you saw on television is false. The persecution by Jiang Zemin of Falun Dafa is against heavens law.”
I came across a police supervisor one day in 2000. He asked me if I still practiced Falun Dafa and requested me to hand over my Dafa books. I replied loudly: “Who said I stopped practicing? I'll keep practicing Falun Dafa. I will never turn in those books. By the way, young man, calm yourself down and thoroughly read the book Zhuan Falun. Your coronary disease will be cured also.”
When the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” was published in 2004, I distributed it to almost every house in my neighborhood. I also advised my neighbors to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Many of them were retired highly-paid CCP cadres. They had been deeply poisoned by the regime. Surprisingly, I was welcomed by most of them and they listened to me talking about the practice. To not miss anyone, I visited individuals more often that were stubborn and didn't want to listen.
Family Quits the CCP
I have four children. All of them and their spouses had joined the CCP. I had tried hard to make them quit but without success, even though they knew that Dafa saved my life and was now illness free.
They and my grandchildren visited on Mid-Autumn Festival Day of 2005. Seeing me so healthy and happy preparing food for them, my police son said: “Mom, your physique has changed so much. Dafa is really good!”
I pretended to be upset and said: “What is good about it? Master wants me to save people and advise them to quit the CCP. I can't even save my own children.” While they were all quiet and hung their heads, my oldest son-in-law took a pen and paper and said: “Everyone, let's listen to mom.” They all quit the CCP with aliases that day.
On one occasion, my son grabbed many Dafa books and DVDs before they were set ablaze at the police station. [The communist regime destroyed confiscated Falun Dafa books and videotapes as part of the persecution.] He gave me some and said: “Mom, I cannot give you all of them. I want to keep some for myself.”
My oldest son hand-wrote some short lectures from Essentials for Further Advancement on calendar paper and posted them with Master's photo and the Falun emblem at the most eye-catching spot of the walls in the living room and bedroom. He also set up my television so I could receive only New Tang Dynasty (NTD) television programs. I have also clarified the facts about Falun Dafa to anyone who came to my house.
Not Missing Any Opportunity
After my children quit the CCP, I made sure that all my relatives and friends didn't miss this precious opportunity. I didn't mind traveling far and wide, so I could make sure they understood the truth about the practice.
My son always came along and helped me speak to people about Falun DAfa. When attending funerals or weddings, I always brought, besides gifts, Falun Dafa informational materials, such as booklets, stickers, and DVDs. When they admire me for looking younger than my age, I speak to them about Falun Dafa, and most of them renounced the CCP.
I knew some of my son's colleagues and friends at the police station. They all knew that practicing Falun Dafa attributed to my good health. I often distributed the truth informational materials to them before my son quit his job. I always delivered new DVDs to my son's office once it became available. I gave the new DVD to anyone I came across at the police station and they all happily accepted it.
A security guard at the police station stopped me one day and asked: “Auntie (a respectful word in China to women at parents' ages), can I have one amulet if you still have some?” I realized that these people also needed to be saved. I almost missed them.
Family Benefits
I always gave my children fact-clarifying booklets and informational DVDs when they came home. Gradually, they asked more frequently for those materials . My police son often praised Falun Dafa at the police station: “My mother's illnesses disappeared after cultivating Falun Dafa. Our family has become harmonious. The conflicts between my mother and her daughters-in-law were gone because my mother always looked inwards for any shortcomings during times of conflict.“
My police son was forced against his will to persecute practitioners at the early stage of the persecution. Therefore he quit his job. Not long after he left his post, my son was involved in a traffic accident. His head was hurt and it was very dangerous.
However, he miraculously survived. I said, “I know you have committed crimes for persecuting practitioners even though you were under pressure. You must accept the retribution. Master still save you repeatedly because you are kind-hearted and did some good deeds for Falun Dafa. You should cherish Dafa.”
My entire family is blessed by Dafa. They all do well in job, business, or school. Some of them now live abroad, and others live in Beijing and nearby cities. Despite the distance, I always remind them: “You are blessed by Dafa. You should step forward to validate the goodness of Dafa.”
More Things to Do
Master said:
“Dafa disciples, you are golden light in the mortal world, the hope of the world’s people, Fa-disciples who help Master, and future Fa-Kings. Keep diligent, Awakened Ones that walk the earth: Everything of today will be the glory of the future.” (“Congratulatory Message” in “The Essentials of Diligent Progress Vol. III”)
I still have many attachments to be removed, and there are more sentient beings to be saved. I have to cultivate diligently to save more people. I will closely follow Master and fulfill my prehistoric vow.
