(Clearwisdom.net) “Dafa is being spread far and wide. Those who hear about it are looking for it. Those who have obtained it are delighted with it. The number of cultivators is increasing daily and becoming countless.” (“Seeking Discipleship with Teacher” in Essentials for Further Advancement) Whenever I think of Master's words, I am very happy and have various types of feelings. It was compassionate Master that balanced the relationships among my sisters and gave my family a new life.

I have five sisters, but no brothers. My father worked out of town when I was a kid, so it was my mother who took care of us. My mom was an orphan and she had never enjoyed good times with her parents. She had a very bad temper and often kicked and beat us. We did not dare to talk back to her because we could be beaten. We never received our mother's love. Moreover, we had countless jobs to do. We felt inferior and wanted to die.

My mother was so attached to personal gain that she asked us to do all the difficult work and treated us as men when it came to that. When it was raining, she locked us up in a room for a long time and we started to fight with each other. We never respected each other and had no manners at all. My father seldom returned home and when he did, my mom always criticized us in front of him. Then he would say sarcastic things to us and laugh at us. We were all very gloomy and carried a lot of emotional baggage into our adult lives.

After we got married and had our own careers, none of us liked to return home to visit our parents. Whenever they needed assistance, we always tried to get out of it. We seldom spent time getting together. We always talked about things that happened in the past, which made us unhappy. Although we did not have a happy family, we were still very lucky because we were fortunate enough to obtain the Fa. It was Master who gave us a new life.

In 1999 we obtained the Fa, but we did not cultivate very diligently. However, we consistently adjusted our thoughts according to the Fa. We got rid of many bad habits and by studying the Fa, we understood that “Everything has its cause.” (“The Fourth Talk” in Zhuan Falun) Dafa touched our hearts and resolved all our grievances. Probably because we owed our parents in our past lifetimes, they treated us in this way. We did not hate or resent our parents any more after realizing this. So we took the initiative to help them. Whoever lived closer to them would often visit them, and those who lived farther away would call them every week so that they would feel good.

My father passed away and my mother is living by herself. To our happiness, she started to practice cultivation after witnessing the changes in us. Now she is so diligent that she puts great importance into sending forth righteous thoughts and doing the exercises. Although she cannot read, she listens to Master's lectures every day. Whenever she wakes up at night, she starts sending forth righteous thoughts. Sometimes, she wakes up three times in a night. She often wakes up at 11:00 p.m. so that she will not miss the time when practitioners all around the world simultaneously send forth righteous thoughts. Every morning, she does the exercises. Now she is eighty-five years old and very healthy. All her illnesses have disappeared. She can take care of herself and has even started to care for us. Prior to cultivation, she often stumbled and was not able to walk for very long. After starting to practice Falun Gong, she seldom fell and would immediately recover if she did.

If it was not for Master and Dafa, our family could not have changed like it did. It was Master who gave us a new life. In addition, Udumbara flowers have blossomed in the areas of three of our families. Another one of us found Udumbara flowers on some grapes that we bought. We believed Master was encouraging us. We want to thank Master! We will do the three things well, save more sentient beings, fulfill our vows, and return to our original homes with Master. We practitioners want to thank great and compassionate Master! We want to thank Falun Dafa!
