(Minghui.org) I am originally from Turkey and live with my Czech husband in the Czech Republic. Thanks to Falun Dafa, we met and got married. We have a happy and peaceful life with our sons, one 3 years old and the other 10 months old. We are grateful for the blessings given to us by Dafa and Master.
We would like to share with you a few of the ways we have benefited from Falun Dafa.

When I was about 8 months pregnant, we went to New York to participate in the 2019 World Falun Dafa Day celebrations. We gathered with nearly 5,000 Falun Dafa practitioners on Governors Island in New York on May 18 for the creation of a giant Falun emblem and the Chinese characters “Zhen-Shan-Ren” (Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance), the basic principles of Falun Dafa. This was an unforgettable moment for us. The photo was taken on the ferry heading to Governors Island
When I was pregnant with my second son, three weeks before birth, my first son was teething and had a fever. He always wanted to stay with me and he couldn’t sleep at night without me holding him. My husband was at a business event that weekend and I was alone at home. On the day my husband came back, my labor pains began. My water broke before we left for the hospital. I brought my baby into the world at the hospital.
It is usual that a mother stays in the hospital for three days. But during these three days, there was something wrong with my baby. The doctors were telling me that there was blood in my baby's stool and they didn’t know why. I knew that only Master and Falun Dafa could help us. On the second day, I read the main book of Falun Dafa, Zhuan Falun, and played the Dafa music of Pudu and Jishi for my baby. A miracle happened that night. After breastfeeding him, he acted like he needed to vomit. I saw something black in his mouth. I immediately turned him over and black blood clots fell from his mouth.
I immediately went to the doctor’s station. When the doctor examined my baby, she smiled and said that everything was fine and the problem was resolved. That evening they called my son a miracle baby.
A nurse gave my son a hearing test the next day. While one ear heard 100%, the other ear only heard 80%. I read the book Zhuan Falun again and had him listen to Pudu and Jishi. When the nurse retested him the next day, both ears were 100%.
My husband and I were sure that Master had saved our son’s life. We couldn’t hold back our tears and thanked Master with all our hearts.
Now our son is very healthy and developing rapidly.
Everyone says that I am very brave and strong. Because I live in a foreign country, I am separated from my friends and family and I’m raising two kids without close family to help. In fact, I owe my strength to Falun Dafa. Thanks to Master’s compassionate guidance and Falun Dafa, I can overcome every difficulty. My heart beats for Dafa. Also, I still take part in important projects related to Dafa and I try to do my best. I am really lucky to have the opportunity to cultivate in Dafa. Every time I remember what Master did for me, my eyes are filled with tears. My heart is full of gratitude to Master.
My husband and I are raising our children according to Falun Dafa's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. We act with the wisdom Dafa has given us.
I keep remembering Master’s words:
“You should teach your kids with reason and good sense, and that’s the only way you can really teach them well.” (The Ninth Talk, Zhuan Falun)
They listen to us while we study the Fa together. Both are very well-behaved, smart, gentle, and friendly. Our relatives and people around us see us as a kind, caring, harmonious, and exemplary family.
Whenever something happens to our children, I immediately repeat the words “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” We are all very healthy and do not feel the need to visit a doctor at all.
My older son is very interested in his brother and helps me a lot. Even though he is still quite small, he surprises us with his intelligence and virtuous behavior. He is trying to keep his brother, who is just beginning to crawl, out of danger. Whenever he sees Master’s photo, he says “Shifu” with a smile. When we participate in activities to tell people about the beauty of Falun Dafa and the persecution in China, he especially wants to wear the Falun Dafa badge and hands out flyers to people willingly. He stays at the activities for hours without complaining. While we do the exercises, he imitates us and tries to do them, too, and sits in the lotus position.
When conflicts sometimes arise between my husband and me, we both look inside ourselves and try to find the source of the problem. We help each other in every respect. There is a deep respect and deep love between us.
My husband works as a stockbroker in a stock exchange company in the Czech Republic. As he is very successful with his work, he has been selected as the most successful employee of his company every month among all branches.
His colleagues know that he is a Falun Dafa practitioner and support him. Many employees in his company signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Dafa in China and they have condemned the persecution. Some have also watched the documentaries exposing the persecution of Dafa.
Seeing my husband's kindness and performance at work, his colleagues know that his success is thanks to Falun Dafa, and they are interested in Falun Dafa.
As a family of four practicing Falun Dafa, we are grateful with all our hearts for Master Li's introducing Falun Dafa to the public and introducing us to this great, virtuous cultivation practice. We hope that more people can see the magnificence of Falun Dafa and also benefit from it.
Happy World Falun Dafa Day and happy birthday, venerable Master!
