Employer's Extended Family Impressed with Dafa

(Minghui.org) I have been practicing Falun Dafa for 19 years. Although it has not always been smooth sailing, I was able to do everything Dafa asks of its practitioners.

All of the employees in the factory where I used to work knew the truth about Dafa and have withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations. However, as I had to work quite a lot of overtime, I looked for a different job.

I began my new position in July 2013. The employer's wife was a nurse in a hospital. I clarified the facts to her on my first day. She recognized that the persecution was evil and agreed to take a stance by quitting the Party. I talked to her more and could see she was touched. She watched Teacher's Fa lecture video recordings and began studying the teachings.

Improving Xinxing

After the 2014 Chinese New Year celebration, I put some leftover food in the freezer and a small portion in the refrigerator. My employer's wife found mold growing on that portion a few days later and got upset, lost her temper and yelled.

I apologized immediately, but she would not calm down and left the room in a bad mood. She would not talk to me even when she came in for lunch.

I realized that it was time for me to improve my xinxing. I followed the Fa principles. I was pleasant and patient with her and the ice between us melted quickly. She apologized and asked my forgiveness for her poor behavior.

I took her to another practitioner's home. We shared for the entire afternoon. She apologized again.

“Thank you,” I said, “you helped me improve my xinxing. A practitioner has to endure to improve. If I wasn’t a practitioner, I would not have put up with your bad temper.”

Mother-in-law Interested in Learning Dafa

I helped my employers extended family, which gave me the opportunity to talk to them about Dafa. My employer's mother was known to be a tough lady. I went to her home and helped her clean her house many times.

When telling her about Dafa I said, “Look at me, I am in my late 40s. I am the picture of health and have endless energy. I hold myself to the standards of Dafa – Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in everything I do.”

She said she admired me. I then encouraged her to read Zhuan Falun. A few days later she gave the book back to me. I felt certain she had not finished it. However, I continued to talk to her about Dafa whenever she visited.

She said to me, “I am terrible. No matter how hard you work for me, I have not appreciated it. But no matter how hard I pick on you or lose my temper, you are always patient and cheerful. I am so impressed.”

“Maybe I have not done well enough,” I responded, “or you would not pick on me!”

Then she asked me if she could borrow Zhuan Falun again, saying she would like to finish it this time. Seeing her mother-in-law's interest in Dafa, my employer became more diligent in the practice.

Recovery of My Employer's 90-Year-Old Grandfather

My employer's grandfather was 90 years old. He joined the army during the Korean War. He had Mao's portrait in his home and a few medals awarded from the war. When I first clarified the facts to him and tried to help him quit the Party, he looked scared and refused to listen to me.

Last summer, I heard that he was diagnosed with cancer and was in the hospital. I went to visit him. He was pale. I suggested he repeat “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to restore his health.

He repeated the two sentences and was discharged from the hospital just 10 days later. He was still saying the words I taught him and improving every day.

His daughter asked him to lower his voice, so no one would hear him in case there were police nearby, but he ignored her. I asked him to get rid of the portrait and medals from the CCP, and he immediately took care of it.

He came down with diarrhea a few days later and purchased some medicine, but was fine before he even took the first dose.

He told me about it the next day and I told him his body was being purified. He continued to improve – gaining strength, having an appetite and a rosy complexion. Many more members of the family witnessed his improvement and began to learn Falun Dafa too.
