(Minghui.org) One day I saw a young teacher beat a first grade student at school. I felt very sad and could not understand why teachers would beat their students. I thought, I could educate children better than that, since I follow the Falun Dafa principles of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” I decided to open a family daycare center.
My family daycare center opened successfully, with about 40 students. My goal was to educate children using the Falun Dafa principles and let them and their parents witness the greatness of Dafa. I was very kind to the children. I explained Falun Dafa and the persecution to the parents and gave them informational materials about it. They were all grateful.
I had Master's picture (the founder of Falun Dafa) up for the children to see. They all loved Master very much. I asked them to remember: “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and I played Master's audio lectures. I asked them to be good kids and told them that they should not curse and fight with others. They all listened to me.
One of the children was very active. One day his mother beat him at home because he was too naughty. The boy told his mother, “My teacher in the daycare center says that everyone should behave in accordance with “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and people should not beat their children.” His mother did not feel angry anymore after hearing this. She thought it was so good for her son to know these principles.
There was a two-year-old boy who was ill. I had to hold him all day long and I worried that it would affect my Fa study. I told my husband that I did not want to accept him. My husband asked the parents not to send the child to us until he got better.
I had a dream that evening that helped me to realize that I needed to be more compassionate. The sick boy's parents had to operate their business and they were very busy. They did not have time to take care of their child, and no other daycare center would accept him because he was sick. Wasn't it selfish if I also refused to look after him? Master said we should always consider others first. I decided to accept him.
The parents were very grateful. I found that the boy did not really affect my Fa study at all. When I listened to Master's lectures, I shared the earphones with him so he could also listen to Master's lectures every day. He would show me his ears whenever he saw the earphones.
After a while, the child's illness disappeared. The parents were so happy and said it was amazing. They were very grateful to Dafa.
To Solve Problems, Believe in Dafa and Diligently Cultivate
I also realized that there were two ways to solve problems. One is to firmly believe in the Fa. The other is to look inward and rectify ourselves.
My whole family supported me to practice cultivation in the beginning. I used to have many diseases such as neurosis, gallstones, epilepsy, anemia, lumbar disc herniation, and cervical spondylosis. They all disappeared after I started practicing. Witnessing the changes in me, all of my family and friends supported me. Once I forgot to burn incense for Master and my husband did it for me.
I felt very sad after the persecution of Dafa began, because I was not educated enough to write truth clarification letters. My husband helped me with the letters and mailed them out.
I was detained once because I went to Beijing and appealed for Dafa. My husband became scared and did not want me to practice anymore. I told him that nothing could stop me from practicing cultivation. My husband threatened to divorce me if I continued to practice. I was not moved at all.
I understood that only if we look inward is it genuine cultivation. My husband used to support me. Why didn't he support me anymore? I found my attachments of competition, jealousy, fear, selfishness, and sentimentality. I changed myself and my husband became supportive again.
The local police station asked my husband why he could not control me. I told them the truth of Falun Dafa. My husband suddenly added, “She became healthy after she practiced Falun Dafa. “The policemen left after they realized my husband could not change me. They never came back again.
