(Minghui.org) I suffered from constant pain and illness before I started practicing Falun Dafa. My severe sinusitis caused persistent headaches. I also suffered from cholecystitis, colitis, and an inflamed pelvis. Three uterine fibroids became so large that I experienced severe abdominal pain. I also had severe insomnia and frequent colds. I visited many doctors and took various anti-inflammatory drugs every day, but nothing helped. Although I had a job and I did not stop working, my legs often felt as heavy as lead, and I fainted at work several times. Life felt unbearable.
Luckily, in 1997, I was introduced to Falun Dafa. After I began reading Zhuan Falun (Falun Dafa’s main book), my illnesses disappeared, and I felt light and refreshed. I haven’t taken any medicine for 28 years. Master rescued me from my misery. Dafa purified my body and soul.
With continuous Fa study, my xinxing kept improving, and I can handle conflicts with a peaceful mindset.
One coworker misunderstood something I said and angrily yelled at me in front of a group of coworkers, and said very nasty things. Not wanting to embarrass her in front of others, I didn’t argue with her. Afterward, I explained the situation, and she apologized, “I was too impulsive and misunderstood you. I’m sorry.” I told her that everything was fine and the conflict was resolved peacefully.
My husband drank alcohol every day. He had a terrible temper when he was drunk and cursed at me for no reason. He also cursed my family members using very offensive language. I did as Master asked,
“...one should not fight back when being punched or insulted...” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
After looking inward, I often told him, “Don’t get angry. I’m very sorry this happened.”
No matter how my husband treated me and my family members, I always cared for his parents. Whenever I cooked delicious food, I brought them some.
My sister was busy with work and taking care of her sick father-in-law, so she had no time to cook a proper meal. One day, I made some steamed dumplings for her family and had my nephew take them home. There weren’t many steamed dumplings left, and I planned to take some to my in-laws. But then my son and daughter-in-law said they were coming over for dinner. There wouldn’t be enough steamed dumplings for everyone. I thought about not giving any dumplings to my in-laws this time, as they didn’t know I made them anyway. But then I thought, “I practice Falun Dafa. I must treat my in-laws like my own parents. Even if I don’t eat steamed dumplings myself tonight, I’ll take some to my in-laws.”
In today’s world, where material desires run rampant, people tend to place a lot of value on fame and fortune. Coworkers within educational systems are often fiercely competitive and prone to conflicts when they compete for promotions and professional titles. This situation is a major challenge for school leaders.
A school leader asked me to submit the materials to advance my title to level five. I told him without hesitation, “I don’t want to put you in a difficult position. I know there are very few spots for level five. Please let other teachers advance first.”
He was surprised, “Such kindness is quite remarkable! Yes, there are very few spots available, probably only one. If you don’t get to advance to level five, you won’t cause trouble for the school, as other teachers do, will you?”
I told him not to worry, and he was very grateful. In the past, I talked to him about Falun Dafa and helped him quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organization.
He called a few days later and said, “We have three spots open for level five! There are only three teachers who met all of the requirements, and you are one of them.”
As a Falun Dafa practitioner, I’m not interested in personal gain. I printed two copies of a test paper for myself from the company’s paper supply. I then replaced the two sheets from my personal paper supply. No one knew I used the company’s paper, and they did not know that I returned it. Dafa taught me to be a good person and not show off.
I was shopping at a large supermarket. I took a piece of stationery from the shelf and put it in my bag, then I selected other things. When I went to pay, I forgot to take the stationery out of my bag. It wasn’t demagnetized, and somehow the alarm didn’t go off when I left the store. When I got home, I realized I hadn’t paid for the stationery. When I returned to the store the sales clerk was surprised and said, “Thank you! You’re so kind!”
My husband was the head of a large company. He treated his friends to lunch, and both his company accountant and I attended. After lunch, I went to pay the bill, which came to nearly 700 yuan. The restaurant owner and my husband’s company accountant refused to let me pay, saying the company would reimburse me. I could not accept the company’s money, and so I paid. The restaurant owner sighed: “It’s hard to find someone as good as you nowadays!”
The owner of a restaurant near my husband’s company told me, “The wives of other leaders of your husband’s company regularly come to this restaurant and order food which is then paid for by the company, but you never did this.” I replied with a smile, “I practice Falun Dafa.”
I invited some friends to this restaurant. After the meal, when I went to pay the bill, the owner wouldn’t let me and said it would be his treat. When I insisted on paying, he said, “Or we can count this as your husband’s company’s expenses.” I told him this was my own expense and I should pay.
He said, “Now I know that all Falun Dafa practitioners are good people!”
The owner knew I practiced Dafa. His wife practiced Dafa as well, but he was against it since he believed some of the CCP’s propaganda about Falun Dafa. Now he understood that the CCP lied and Dafa taught people to be good.
My husband’s company bought some desks and chairs. A company representative came to my home and insisted on giving me an envelope full of cash. I refused to take the money and told him, “It’s not easy for your business to make money. You don’t need to pay extra as long as the trade is fair.” He said, “The family of the leaders of all our other buyer companies accepts money. You are the only one who doesn’t want money!”
I once worked at a municipal bureau, and I helped a teacher resolve a work-related issue. To show her gratitude, she insisted on giving me a gift card. I tried to refuse, but she was adamant, so I took the card. I then refilled her cell phone account with the same amount of money on the gift card. I previously told her about Falun Dafa and helped her quit the CCP. She knew Dafa taught people to be unselfish, and she understood why I dealt with the matter this way.
I helped another teacher resolve a work-related issue. As a thank you, he gave me 1,000 yuan and a gift. Unable to refuse, I took them. I later found an opportunity and returned the 1,000 yuan plus the money, which was the value of the gift to him. While I did this, I was able to tell him and his wife about Dafa, and I helped both of them quit the CCP. In the past, this teacher believed the CCP’s lies and even participated in persecuting a practitioner. By showing him that Falun Dafa practitioners are selfless, it dispelled his misunderstanding.
There have been many similar examples, too many to list them all. Falun Dafa purified my body and soul. I am so grateful for Master’s compassionate salvation!
