(Minghui.org) I'm a retiree who lives in Hubei Province with my son and his family. I'm also a Falun Gong practitioner who began the practice in 1998. Today, I'd like to share with you a few stories about my family, who've been blessed from reciting a few magic words.
The sudden lockdown of Wuhan due to the coronavirus pandemic threw the lives of many into chaos, including my daughter-in-law's family.
Her mother lives with her son's family in a residential neighborhood in Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus outbreak. One day, her mother developed the telltale symptoms of the virus: a fever, troubled breathing with tightness in the chest, and dry coughs.
She could not get a bed in a hospital, so she was forced to self-quarantine at home. Her whole family was terribly scared.
My daughter-in-law told her mother to recite “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to turn things around.
She called her mother frequently to check in on her and also encouraged her mother to quit the CCP's affiliated organizations. She told her that the CCP had committed many crimes against humanity and that only by cutting ties with the CCP would one truly be safe from karmic retribution.
Her mother quit the CCP, and at the same time, kept reciting the two phrases.
A few days later, her mother's symptoms disappeared and she was fully recovered. My daughter-in-law's whole family is extremely grateful to Falun Dafa for saving her mother's life, and they still recite the two phrases every day.
My grandson is 12 this year and a very healthy boy.
In the winter of 2009, when he was a little over two years old, he got a viral infection at a public bathhouse.
He was running a high fever, so we took him to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD).
As he showed no sign of improvement after taking his prescribed medications, we took him to the best hospital in our city at midnight, where we were advised to have him stay for observation.
However, after all the paperwork was done, they couldn't find a nurse to give him an injection. So the doctor told us to go home and bring him back in the morning.
After we got home, my grandson's fever went even higher. His face turned very red and his legs started twitching.
I kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” into his ear and asked him to recite it with me. His mom also joined us.
The three of us kept reciting the two phrases for over an hour. By 5:00 a.m., my grandson's fever had come down.
“Grandma, I want milk!” he said.
Soon, he was fully recovered and all his symptoms disappeared.
In the morning, I asked my husband if we still needed to take him to the hospital.
He was working in the local police department at the time and held some negative views about Falun Gong due to the CCP's propaganda. However, having witnessed the speedy recovery of our grandson this time, he had to admit that Falun Dafa is indeed good.
“The boy is well now.” he said, “There’s no need to take him to the hospital.”
Later, my grandson was infected with HFMD again from his classmates at kindergarten. We kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Again, he recovered very quickly.
Once, his kindergarten organized a spring outing for the kids. On the bus, when my grandson noticed that a little boy was showing symptoms of a cold, he immediately told him to recite the two magic phrases so that he would feel better. His classmates and teachers on the bus were impressed by my grandson's kindness.
My grandson is 12 now, healthy and happy, and still enjoys blessings from Falun Dafa.
Due to the brainwashing and deception by the CCP, my daughter-in-law had always distanced herself from me. This became especially pronounced after I was unlawfully sentenced to three years of forced labor for practicing Falun Gong, and my son (her husband) had to give up his job in the police department.
After witnessing her own son's miraculous recovery, she changed completely and started to read the book Zhuan Falun.
“What Falun Gong teaches people is totally different from what the CCP's propaganda says about the practice,” she said to me after reading the book.
“I would have been deceived by the lies told by the CCP all my life had I not read Zhuan Falun myself. Falun Gong teaches people to be good people by assimilating themselves to the universal principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I would never have known how to truly be a good person.”
My daughter-in-law used to suffer from constipation and had many pimples on her face. After reading Zhuan Falun, her problems disappeared and her complexion became nice and smooth.
She began to practice Falun Dafa her in 2012, and since then her relationship with my son has become more harmonious. She gets on much better with our neighbors as well. Their business has also become more robust and prosperous.
My daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby girl in 2014, even though she had an intrauterine device in place. The baby girl was healthy and beautiful.
As the government had yet to relax the one-child policy, it was very difficult to have a second child registered without having to pay a hefty fine.
My husband wanted to try to have the baby registered by bribing some of his connections, but I discouraged him from doing so, saying that she was a blessing given to us by heaven and that there was no point in sullying a blessing by using underhanded methods.
Four months later, the local police station called us to register the baby with our household. We did not have to pay any fines.
The grandmother of a little girl four months younger than my granddaughter was really surprised to hear this, because her family had to pay over 30,000 yuan to register their second child.
My granddaughter is 6 now. She has had a high fever twice, but each time her fever came down quickly after her mother and I recited “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Once, one of her fingers got caught in a door. It was really bad. Her whole finger became swollen and filled with pus. Her mom took her to the district hospital, where the doctor said she needed an operation.
I told my daughter-in-law to take her to the emergency department, where a doctor drew the pus out with a syringe and needle. My little granddaughter did not cry throughout the process, and everyone present was surprised to see how brave she was.
She is very clever too and can recognize many Chinese characters already. She can even read through Zhuan Falun without much difficulty. She often tells me that she can see Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) sitting on a huge lotus seat, with many Gods reading the book Zhuan Falun around him.
My great-aunt used to suffer from all kinds of diseases; she always looked listless and her arms and hands were always numb. She had great pain in her legs and could hardly walk. Doctors said she had cervical spondylotic syndrome and adhesive capsulitis complications.
She started to have bad nosebleeds toward the end of 2010 and was later diagnosed with nasal polyps, which needed an operation. The operation cost her family tens of thousands of yuan, and she had to go in for monthly checkups afterwards, which cost even more money.
She was exhausted both physically and mentally and in great pain.
In the winter of 2013, she suffered a relapse of her nasal polyps, and by spring of 2014 her condition had deteriorated to the point where her entire nose and face were swollen. Her doctors told her that she needed an operation to have the polyps removed once again.
Instead of going ahead with another operation, she turned to Falun Dafa for help and started to practice the exercises. She kept reciting “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Within days, the swelling in her nose and face was gone. She has never needed to take any medication since then.
She was involved in a bad car accident not long ago. Both the car doors on her side were smashed, and she passed out upon impact.
As soon as she regained consciousness, she recited, “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
She had a big bump on her head, and both her left arm and ribcage were injured. She was breathing in pain. Still she kept reciting the two phrases and remembered what Master said in Zhuan Falun,
“We have said that good or bad comes from a person's initial thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun, 2014 Translation Version)
After she got back home, she started practicing the Falun Dafa exercises straight away. The next day, all the pain from her injuries was gone.
My great-aunt is now in very good health, and most importantly, she has changed her outlook and come to understand the meaning of life. She has let go of her bad temper and always considers others first. Her life is now filled with happiness and contentment.
I often think about the goodness of Dafa and the compassion of Master. Thank you, Master, for your boundless compassion and salvation!
I feel extremely sorry and sad for people who have fallen victim to the deception and brainwashing of the CCP. I sincerely hope that more people will understand the facts about Falun Dafa, break away from the CCP, and choose a bright future for themselves.
