(Minghui.org) Master takes care of my family and has bestowed so many blessings on us, all because we all have deep faith in Dafa and sincerely believe: "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!"
Mother spoiled our younger brother from day one. She catered to his every whim. He never learned to respect or have concern for other people. Any slight offense would make him flare up. He's just become a teenager when he first brandished his fist at our mother when he did not get his way.
Unfortunately, when he was 15, mother passed away suddenly.
For my family, mother's death was tantamount to the sky having fallen. Father worked far away year 'round and was barely home. Mother was a strong woman who took care of everything and always had everything under shipshape control.
After mother died, Younger Brother started behaving wildly. He soon started on a downward spiral. He spent his days as if there was no tomorrow. He feasted. He drank. He pimped. He got into fights.
In just a few years, our entire family was basically turned upside down. Our younger brother became a frequent visitor to our local police station.
Then, he picked up gambling. Eventually, he accumulated huge gambling debts. The debtors were coming after him.
When the family had exhausted our savings to pay his debts, he went borrowing from relatives and friends so often that they all avoided us.
We sisters were in tears all the time. Even Father didn’t know what to do with him.
It was about that time that I began the path of Falun Gong cultivation practice. Master taught me the meaning of life and living.
I began to share my understanding with Younger Brother, but he said, "Big Sister, stop. It’s too late. How am I to pay back all the money I owe? It’s not a small sum! I've already made my plan. I’m going to make a deal with some drug traffickers, who will take care of my debts. When it’s over and all the money is paid, I’ll just commit suicide. I'm sorry I dragged you all into this mess, but after this, I’ll not be a burden to the family any more."
I gave Younger Brother Falun Gong’s main book, Zhuan Falun. He accepted the book.
Before long, Younger Brother was a changed man. He had turned around a hundred and eighty degrees. He told me he read Zhuan Falun and decided to change his ways.
When a person changes, everything changes.
In the meantime, our elder sister had already helped Younger Brother open a small store. It started making money. They opened up two more stores.
Younger Brother put all his earnings into the bank. In two years, he was able to repay almost all his debts.
Dafa has given Younger Brother a new life.
Thank you, Master!
Dafa also bestowed good luck and blessing on my brother-in-law.
One year, my brother-in-law lost his job. He got into a bitter conflict with his son and daughter-in-law. He proclaimed he had hit rock bottom. Everywhere he turned was a brick wall. He did not want to live any more.
I paid him a visit at his house. He told me he had already made plans to kill himself. He told me he believed he had developed cancer. He told me he was nearly 60 years old. Nobody would want to hire him. He could never find a decent job. There was just no way out, no way to continue living. The only future for him was death.
I sat down and had a long talk with him. We spent a whole afternoon baring our souls to each other. His mind started to redirect. His attitude started to relax. He actually started to feel a little hope.
My sister later told me that the same evening of my visit, they started watching videos of Master's lectures. Then, my brother-in-law went to town to watch his grandchildren for his son. Soon after that, he landed a security job with a monthly salary of 1,800 yuan.
My brother-in-law was one happy man. His depressive and doomsday look at life was gone. His thought of suicide became ancient history.
Because of Dafa, another family member was saved from the brink of disaster.
Two years ago, my husband and I, along with our son, went to visit Third Uncle. We barely stepped inside the door before Auntie couldn’t wait to blurt out, "You almost didn't get to see your uncle anymore..”
Seeing our puzzled expression, Auntie explained, “About two weeks ago, your uncle rode his tricycle into town. On the way back, he was hit by a motorcycle and almost lost his life.”
“How did it happen?" I asked.
Uncle took over to relate his story. "The motorcycle came straight at me. I felt the impact. When I regained consciousness, I didn’t feel much pain. There was a bump and a scratch on my head. My arms and legs felt fine. The tricycle was a mess, though.
“The motorcycle rider was a young lad of about 17 or 18,” Uncle continued, “He was scared out of his wits. With hands trembling, he handed me a hundred dollar bill, saying ‘Grandpa, I only have this much money on me. Please go to the hospital to have your head checked out and wrapped up.’
“But, I said to him, ‘I’m okay. You can go.’ The boy looked relieved. He thanked me and rode off…”
Third Uncle took out an amulet from his pocket and concluded, “This was what saved me!”
An older man of over 70, being knocked down with such force, how could he be fine? It was because he had a Dafa amulet on him and he believed in the goodness of Dafa.
I listened with eyes filled with tears of gratitude. It was Master who had protected him, or he would have been dead. Both Third Uncle and Auntie agreed that it was indeed a miracle.
It was all Master’s mercy and Dafa’s grace!
One day in 2011, my aunt suddenly collapsed and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said she had suffered a heart attack and must have a stent surgery.
My uncle burst into tears. In desperation he went around to family, relatives, and friends to borrow money.
I have no money, but I have Dafa.
I took along with me some truth-clarification booklets and a Dafa amulet, and went to the hospital to visit my aunt. I gave her the amulet and had her read and memorize the words on the back of the amulet that say: “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
My aunt read the booklets and sincerely recited "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” for three days.
The hospital arranged for a heart specialist to prep my aunt for surgery. To everybody’s surprise, less than half an hour later, she was wheeled out of the operating room. The specialist reported that my aunt’s case was not serious at all and so stent surgery was not indicated.
He sent my aunt home with some medicine.
My uncle was so happy he was grinning from ear to ear. He had just saved several hundreds of thousands yuan meant for the stent surgery.
My aunt burned incense to thank Master for saving her.
Second Uncle was an unfortunate man. He never had a wife as he couldn’t find someone who wanted to marry him. His life was full of hardships. He adopted my cousin when she was a child. When she grew up, she took him with her to Suzhou where she started a business.
In 2007, Second Uncle was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The doctor said he was too old, so surgery would not be a good idea, but my uncle couldn’t stand the pain and insisted on surgery.
He almost didn't make it back from the operating table.
The doctor told us, "Try your very best to make his remaining life as comfortable and good as you can. He can only last another three to four months. More surgery won't help. The only thing we can do for him is to insert a catheter.”
All who were present cried.
The next day, I went to visit Second Uncle in the hospital. I put a Dafa amulet on him. I taught him to recite “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” word by word until he could say them by himself.
A week later, Second Uncle was released from the hospital and went back with his daughter to Suzhou, where he lived for almost another eight years.
In the meantime, I often reminded him to recite the nine golden words. Sometimes he would become lax and didn’t follow through. Sometimes he would be very diligent. For all those years, he basically fluctuated back and forth.
However, Master still gave him eight more years of life. Family and friends all remarked that it was a miracle.
When Second Uncle was breathing his last, he smiled.
We all knew he was blessed, and was not afraid of death.
My father is over eighty years old. His kidney developed an 84 × 68mm cyst, the size of a goose egg. He was often tormented by night sweats and insomnia.
I asked him to recite “Falun Dafa is good Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” Initially, he wouldn’t because he had witnessed me being persecuted over and again by the Communist regime and so had become very frightened of associating with Dafa.
One day, a fellow practitioner was inquiring after my father's health. He told her everything.
The practitioner said, "If you don’t even trust your daughter, whom will you trust? Why don’t you listen to what she’s been telling you? Why don’t you just try it! Recite the nine golden words when you go out for your walks!"
He finally listened.
Two months later, I took him to the hospital for a checkup. His cyst has reduced to 4 × 4mm.
Father said. "This is really miraculous!"
From then on, my father recited "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" every single day. Before long, his renal cysts and also his colitis disappeared.
One day, my father said to me, "I was out taking my walk, suddenly it looked like it was going to rain. I hurried home as fast as I could while reciting the nine golden words. It didn’t rain until I got home. The nine words are truly miraculous!" He smiled happily.
Another family member believes in Dafa and is blessed.
Thank you, Master!
