(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is an ancient spiritual and meditation discipline. It has five sets of meditation exercises and three core principles, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Numerous practitioners of Falun Dafa have benefitted both physically and mentally. Those who do not practice Falun Dafa but support it and recite the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” have also received blessings.
Below are three such stories submitted by three different Falun Dafa practitioners.
A group of police officers attempted to arrest me shortly after the onset of the persecution in 1999. Unable to find me, they asked my neighbors about me.
One of my neighbors, an elderly woman, walked up to the police and said, “Why do you arrest Falun Dafa practitioners? They are all very kind people, every one of them.” The police then left.
In 2009, a practitioner was tortured to death in the local prison, yet the authorities claimed he died naturally. Our local practitioners started a petition drive to seek justice for him. After my neighbor heard about the petition, she and her entire family signed it.
When my husband was arrested in 2017 after being reported for distributing Falun Dafa materials, my neighbor again signed the petition to demand his release. She also offered to go with me to the police station to seek justice.
Because of her and her family’s righteous support, both her sons got married without having to spend a fortune (in China, it is customary for the groom’s family to pay a large sum of money to his bride’s family). They later each had a son to carry on the family name.
A few years ago, my neighbor, her husband, and her second son were working to dismantle their old house, when a wall suddenly collapsed and covered her husband underneath. As the wall was large, they couldn’t locate him, or hear any response from him when they called his name.
She remembered that I told her to recite the phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” in times of danger. She then sat down and began to recite it. The next second, her husband asked for help. Without any tools, her son easily tore open three layers of thick plastic sheeting and rescued his father, who wasn’t injured at all. They were grateful to Dafa’s Master for saving his life.
After my husband and I began to practice Dafa, we often told my brother and his wife about the practice and urged them to value virtue and follow traditional values. When the police came to our village to harass us, my brother often said to the crowd that Falun Dafa practitioners are all good people and that the Communist Party officials were corrupt.
One day he was shopping in a mall with a few friends. They were looking at some pants that went on sale. He took a pair for a look. But before he paid for it, a crowd came and pushed him aside. He left the mall with the pants without paying for them.
But as soon as he drove away from the mall, his car clipped another car and he paid the owner 800 yuan for repair. It dawned on him that it was karmic retribution for him because he didn’t pay for the pants, which were 80 yuan.
His wife used to be greedy, too. She once went out to shop. When she came back, she found some extra money in her pocket, likely because some merchants gave her too much change. She felt quite happy and often bragged about it. I told her the principle of “no loss, no gain.” She understood and began to pay attention to the issue.
She once came to visit me and said I should be proud of her. She then told me that while she was shopping earlier that day, she saw a wad of cash that fell from a vendor’s pocket. In the past, she would pick it up and take it as her own money. But she didn’t do it and told the vendor about it. She felt happy that she'd done such a good deed.
Last October, my sister-in-law had a car accident. She flew into the air and hit the stairs of a shop. She fainted for a brief moment and people thought she was dead. When they called her name, she came to and stood up. Many broken glass pieces were in her hair. Her face had a long scratch. But strangely, she didn’t feel any pain. She then realized she was holding something. She took a look and it was a Dafa amulet I gave her. She kept it in the pocket of her down jacket, but why was she holding it? She then realized that it was Dafa’s Master who saved her. She told many others about her experience and also asked her other family members to get the amulet from me.
Another time, my brother was driving a truck with many cows in it. My sister-in-law and two friends were in the truck as well. While climbing a hill, he suddenly lost control of the truck and couldn't brake. The road was jammed with cars. Just as he was about to hit the car in front of him, my sister-in-law called out, “Falun Dafa! Falun Dafa!” All of a sudden, the cars made way for him and a bad accident was avoided.
My neighbor Rong’s son was hospitalized for a fever the other day. As she stayed in the hospital to take care of her son, she asked me to stay at her home overnight to care for her daughter. I agreed and also urged her to recite the auspicious phrases.
In the evening, the doctor found her son’s fever was caused by severe inflammation of his brain. Her family all recited the Falun Dafa phrases together. Seven days later, her son recovered. When he was discharged from the hospital, the other patient in the same room who went to the hospital two weeks earlier and whose condition wasn’t as severe was still recovering. Rong believed it was Dafa that helped her son to recover faster.
A fire broke out in the village’s farm field. She recited the phrases and asked Dafa's Master for help. Just as the fire was about to reach Rong’s corn field, it stopped and didn’t move any further.
Once Rong’s relative saw her and me together and said, “You are making friends with Falun Dafa [practitioners] now,” Rong replied with pride, “I’m with them.”
