(Minghui.org) I started to practice Falun Dafa in April 1996, and Master cleansed my body within a few days. I could feel Falun rotating throughout my body and felt illness free for the first time.
When the persecution of Falun Dafa started in 1999, many practitioners gave up their faith, but I thought that no matter what, I would remain a steadfast practitioner.
My son's wife did not allow him to practice Dafa after the persecution started. She pounded on the door whenever he got up at night to do the exercises, and the neighbors complained about the disturbance. He was later arrested and persecuted to death.
My heart was broken, and I always thought of him and even called my grandson by his name. It was disturbing that he appeared in front of me when I was working. I let go of my attachment to him through Fa study. I thanked Master for strengthening me and helping me overcome my attachment to my son.
My husband and daughter-in-law blamed me for my son's death, and she threatened to report me if I continued to do the exercises. My husband also did not allow me to study the Fa and do the exercises. They also refused to listen to my telling them the facts about Falun Dafa.
My husband’s health deteriorated because he missed his son, and I got busy taking care of him and my grandson. So I did not have enough time to do the exercises. However, when I slept, it felt as if I was sleeping on a Falun, and the Falun also turned within my body. This was the most amazing feeling!
I told my daughter last year that I could eat everything, be it cold or hot. My daughter warned me to watch such thoughts, but I did not take it seriously.
Then, I had a stomachache the next day and had problems falling asleep. But this did not bother me. I decided to go out to talk to people about Dafa. But the illness symptoms worsened, and I kept throwing up. I looked within and realized that I had a show off mentality, so I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate it.
However, I kept having the illness symptoms, but now they were painful. Suddenly, my mind held onto the illness term “gastric perforation.” This alerted me that I was being persecuted by the old forces and had to send strong righteous thoughts.
“I am a Dafa practitioner,” I thought. “I have attachments, which will be rectified through Dafa. You old forces are forbidden to control me. I have Master and acknowledge only his arrangements. Whoever persecutes me has committed a sin and will be eliminated.”
I asked Master to help me because I had to be able to clarify the truth about Dafa. After I sent forth righteous thoughts, I fell asleep. Two days later, I went out to talk to people about Dafa and my granddaughter said, “My grandmother is amazing! She suffered an entire night but is still able to go out this morning.”
I felt frustrated after I had walked a few miles because I only persuaded three people to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I thought that I was a practitioner in the Fa-rectification period and needed to convince more people to quit the CCP.
I walked past a young man in front of a small restaurant, but changed my mind and turned around. He did not want to listen at first and asked me to move on.
“I do not want to move on, young man,” I said. “Quit the CCP! We joined the CCP and we took an oath to give our life for it when asked. If it loses power, as long as you are a member, you will be implicated in its crimes and suffer the consequences.”
He lowered his head and sobbed. I gave him a pseudonym to quit the two CCP youth organizations. He thanked me, and I told him to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” whenever he faces a problem.
I met another man in front of a store. He told me that he was a police officer, and that I should leave quickly because he did not want to arrest me.
After hesitating for a moment I decided to take the risk and talk to this officer more about Dafa and quitting the CCP.
Master said,
“People’s jobs are not taken into account; spreading Dafa does not take into account people’s jobs, nor target any groups, it aims only at people’s hearts! No matter what you do, your thoughts are yours, your heart is yours, and the choice for the future is your own. All sentient beings are given the opportunity.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2016 New York Fa Conference”)
“Good. I quit the CCP,” he said. “However, you should not talk to everyone about it. If you are arrested, you will be persecuted to death.”
I thanked him for his kindness and told him he would be blessed by reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
