(Minghui.org) When I was a teenager, a fortuneteller went to my uncle’s home. In order to ensure that his son would live a long life, my uncle asked his son to take the fortuneteller as his godfather, so I called the fortuneteller “goduncle.” This goduncle often came to visit us, and many people asked him to tell their fortune. I also joined in and asked him to tell my fortune. He said, “Girl, you listen to me, no matter whether it is good or bad.” I told him to just tell me the truth. He looked at my face and palm and said: “You are a good girl, with a kind character. You are a good person. It’s a pity that you will only live to 60!”
My heart skipped a beat and I asked him anxiously, “Goduncle, is there any way to change that?”
He replied, “Only by becoming a nun and cultivating can you prolong your life, but now there are no gods in the temples, so it’s useless to practice.” He thought for a bit and then said, “There will be a real practice in the future, and you can still join it at your age.”
I thanked him and went home, but my heart was pounding. I thought about how most of my ancestors, my father’s generation, and my peers in the family died young, with the youngest in their 20s and the oldest in their 60s. Why was I also to be so short-lived?
As I was gradually indoctrinated by atheism, I began to doubt what the fortuneteller had said. Maybe it wasn’t true. No matter what, I still had many years to go before turning 60. But I couldn’t let it go and was always looking forward to when I could encounter the “true cultivation method.” Would it be soon?
It was not until 1996, when I was in my 50s, that I was fortunate enough to get the precious book Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. I was immediately drawn to it when I read what Master said:
“... it is also a cultivation practice of mind and body. When you continually cultivate, you will constantly prolong your life. With consistent practice, your life will be constantly prolonged.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
I stood up, full of joy, and said aloud: “This is the true cultivation method I have been waiting for! I finally found it! I will practice it!”
After studying the Fa more, I also learned that Falun Dafa can help one achieve consummation and become a god or and Buddha and achieve longevity. No matter how hard it is, I will continue to cultivate! Year after year, I follow the requirements of cultivation and do the three things without compromise.
My husband’s family understood that Dafa was good, and my entire family has quit the Chinese Communist Party. However, they were afraid that if something happened to me, they would be implicated and their careers would be affected given the severe suppression by the authorities, so they used various ways to keep me from cultivating Dafa.
The more steadfast and unshakable I am, the less trouble I have had. The more I cultivate and the more Fa principles I know, the better my mentality is, the healthier my body is, and the younger I look. I am now 84 years old, and I am still alive and well. I am happy and keep doing what a cultivator should do with a smile on my face. I am working hard to achieve consummation.
Human life is the most precious thing. The length of our lives is determined by heaven, and humans cannot change that. No matter how much gold, silver, or treasure you have, you cannot buy one year of life. Falun Dafa is the law of heaven. I have extended my life by practicing Falun Dafa, which proves that the principles of Dafa are true. Among my relatives on my mother’s side, no one who practices and believes in Dafa passed away early. My brothers and sisters are still alive in their 70s. They carry Dafa amulets with them and often recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” to keep safe. They thank Dafa from the bottom of their hearts and thank Master for teaching such a great Fa!
