(Minghui.org) When I was 17 years old, I suffered from stomach ailments, hepatitis B, and severe arthritis. Shortly after taking up the practice of Falun Gong in 1996, all of my symptoms disappeared. My brother, a judge, had personally witnessed these remarkable changes in my health.
A few years ago, he had called me around midnight and asked me to visit him. He said that it concerned a very urgent matter. So, the next day, I traveled 300 miles by train to see him. My sister-in-law cried when she saw me, saying that my brother was in big trouble and that he's been at his wits' end for the past week, as the tables had been turned on him in his work environment where just about everyone is involved in corruption.
I said, “Don't worry. As long as you sincerely recite: 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good' and 'Falun Dafa is good,' everything will work out for you.” I then spent some time talking with them about the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong.
My brother wearily explained, “I have participated in this persecution and have sentenced many practitioners to prison. Will your Master still take care of me?” He then told me that the court director, where he works, had been recently arrested and imprisoned for crimes of corruption. He knew that it was just a matter of time before the authorities came after him for the same reason.
I explained, “Master compassionately saves sentient beings. So, as long as you truly regret your past deeds, and stop doing bad things to Dafa practitioners, Master will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes.” He replied, “All right. I will do just that,” while nodding his head. He seemed to be in a better mood.
The next day, he told me, “You have no idea how big my problem is. Will reciting the two sentences really help me avoid it?” He then told me that he would likely be sentenced to 20-25 years in prison.
“As long as you truly believe in Master,” I explained, “you'll be able to get through this tribulation. If you don't believe what I'm telling you, then nobody can help you.”
He seemed lost in thought. I told him, “You must think it through carefully. How many miraculous things have occurred in my life since I began practicing Falun Gong? Countless, right? Thus, you have no other choice; you must believe what I am telling you.” He then left for work.
When he came home that evening, he was smiling from ear to ear. “Today, I have truly experienced the mighty power of Dafa! My issue has indeed been resolved!”
His supervisor later asked him to sentence a few practitioners to prison, but he refused. The supervisor continued to pressure my brother during several followup meetings. Finally, my brother sternly told him, “I will no longer take part in this persecution. My sister is a Falun Gong practitioner!”
His supervisor finally relented and never brought up the subject again.
