(Minghui.org) I first heard about Falun Gong from my brother in February 1997. It was at my sister's grocery store. My brother told us the goodness of this practice and how it can protect you. I did not believe it, so I missed that opportunity to begin practicing Falun Gong.
I heard my sister-in-law's neighbor mention Falun Gong the following February. She said, “As long as you do things according to the Falun Gong principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, instead of pursuing something, Master Li (the founder) will take care of you and protect you.” I don't know why this situation was different, but I believed it and borrowed the book to read.
I then read Zhuan Falun for quite a long time until midnight. Typically, I could not read books or watch TV because I had neurasthenia. However, this time, I was able to finish the entire book. After staying up so late, I thought that I might not be able to wake up on time the next morning, and I expected to have a headache later in the day. However, I woke up on time and felt very relaxed. It did not affect my work during the day at all.
As I studied the Fa more, I understood that people are here for Dafa. I understood that the reason people suffer is because of the karma they generated in their life. Since then I strictly follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to check my thoughts and behavior, and I treat everyone with kindness. I have become a healthy and noble person. Thus my family has also changed, becoming happy and harmonious.
Witnessing the physical and mental changes in me, my husband felt the miraculous nature of Falun Gong. He respects Master Li and is very supportive of my practice.
Before I practiced Falun Gong, he got sick twice every year. He could not do hard labor because of his neck and back pain. After I practiced Falun Gong, I told him that the whole family benefits from one member practicing Falun Gong. One time he had unbearable back pain and was about to take medicine, but the pill cut his lip. He realized he should not take the medicine. The pain soon ended and never returned.
The second year my husband, his brother, and their mother all had a facial paralysis. The brother and mother went to see different doctors and advised my husband to receive the same treatment. My husband firmly believed in Master and believed that there was no need to take medicine and that he would soon be fine.
The brother and the mother continued to have abnormal conditions after their treatment, while my husband did not take any medicine and completely recovered. The whole family witnessed the miraculous nature of Falun Gong.
It snowed heavily one winter day, and my husband drove home on a very long, steep downhill right next to a deep cliff. All of a sudden, he lost control of his car. He thought, "My wife practices Falun Gong, I will be fine!" At this point, the car suddenly swerved to the left side of the road. On the left side of the road there was hay in between two trees. My husband's car slid into the hay and was safe.
Falun Gong not only gave me and my family health, but also improved our morality.
My husband once went out to collect grain. When he poured the grain out, he found a stack of cash inside it. He did not hesitate to return the money. The owner was grateful and asked my husband to have a meal, and my husband politely declined.
On another occasion, my husband found a box of cosmetics in his truck. Someone left it in his pickup when he was at a store. My husband drove back to the store and did not find the owner of the cosmetics. We later found a notebook with phone numbers inside the box. We called those numbers one by one, and we finally reached the owner. The owner brought eggs to thank us. I told her that we practice Falun Gong, and we did not want to take her gift. Considering that it was inconvenient for her to take them back, I paid her for the eggs.
Over the years, my husband and I received counterfeit bills of 50-yuan and 100-yuan. We did not hesitate to destroy them, so others would not be hurt.
If I were not practicing Falun Gong, our morals and health would not be so good. I hope that more people will understand the goodness of this practice.
