(Clearwisdom.net) My mother has practiced Falun Gong since 1997, when I was only 11 years old. I am now 25 years old and a graduate student, and I have witnessed the changes in our family since my mother started practicing Falun Gong. I would like to share our family's experiences because I would like more people to know about the goodness of Falun Gong.
Before she practiced Falun Gong, my mother was very sick. She sought medications to treat her illnesses, but there was no cure. While in a desperate situation, she heard about Falun Gong, which she learned could make one healthy and fit. She decided to give it a try, and therefore, she started to practice Falun Gong.
When mother was ill, she was very weak. She weighed only 90 pounds. She took small things to heart and was anxious and worried all the time. After she practiced Falun Gong, she benefited both physically and mentally. She regained her weight and her energy. She was able to complete the exercises each day, and was also able to handle her household chores. She was no longer filled with worry and anxiety, and she did things according Dafa. After she overcame her illnesses, she felt happiness and fulfillment. Learning Dafa gave her the most joy she has ever had in her entire life.
My father has witnessed all the changes in her, and he has been very supportive of her practicing, even when the persecution started in 1999. My father previously had back pain and Meniere's syndrome. After my mother practiced Falun Gong, his illnesses were also cured without any medication.
My uncle (my father’s older brother) was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the summer of 2009, and became bedridden. My mother told him to sincerely repeat, "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion -Forbearance is good!" (1) And he did. One year later, he was able to work in the field as a farmer. He was surprised with the changes in himself. This made him change his views on Falun Gong, and he quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
My brother and his wife stopped fighting after they both quit the CCP. Their business has been going strong. My mother took care of their two daughters; one was aged six, and the other was one year old. They were rarely sick. Even when they occasionally did get a cold, they recovered quickly after they repeated, "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good."
After years of effort, I was admitted to a college and am a graduate student at a university in Korea. I have been very successful in my academic career. I thank Dafa for giving me the wisdom. In Korea, at either the city center or the train station, I have often seen Falun Gong practitioners there to explain to people the goodness of Falun Gong and the CCP's persecution.
Under my mother's persuasion, about 100 of our relatives have declared their withdrawal from the CCP, and many of them also posted Dafa banners at the Chinese New Year.
Our elderly neighbor Ms. Wang had arthritis and walked with difficulty. After she repeated "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good," a miracle occurred. Now she is able to ride a tricycle without problems.
Thank you, Master.
Note (1): Editor's note: Over the course of the 12-year persecution of Falun Dafa in China, the Chinese Communist Party has deceived many people with its lies and slander, causing them to have misunderstandings about and turning them against Falun Dafa. In this environment of persecution, it is a major breakthrough for a person in China to understand the true situation and openly declare his or her belief in the goodness of Dafa. Many people have received good returns upon siding with goodness and coming to recognize the evil nature of the communist regime.
