Falun Dafa Resolves Grudges Against My In-Laws

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. A neighbor once said to my mother, “Falun Dafa helps people heal their illnesses, but also elevates their moral standards so they can be good people.”

My mother thought it would help me, so she obtained a copy of Zhuan Falun and gave it to me. When I held the book, it felt very familiar. After I finished reading it, I exclaimed, “I’m a practitioner now. I have Master Li to look after me!” My heart was filled with joy and gratitude.

Dafa Gives Me a Healthy Body

I used to suffer from various illnesses, including cerebral ischemia, atrophic gastritis, and lumbar disc herniation. I also had a tumor in my uterus. When my illnesses were severe, I couldn’t eat for several days and had no strength to walk. During my menstrual period, I couldn’t get out of bed. I became well known for being the “sick girl” in our village.

However, after I began practicing Falun Dafa, all my illnesses disappeared without me realizing it. For the past 27 years, I haven’t needed to take any medicine.

When several neighbors visited, my husband deliberately ran into the yard and asked me to chase him. Although he saw the changes in me, he still didn’t believe that I could run. I had difficulty walking before and had to stop and rest after a few steps. He said, “Come and catch me if you can!”

I really ran to chase him and found that I could run faster and faster. I couldn’t believe that I could run! I ran cheerfully and shouted, “I can run! I can run!” The neighbors laughed and cheered for me.

After people witnessed Dafa’s miraculous effect in healing my illnesses, they came, one after another, to my home to study the Fa and do the exercises. We soon had an exercise site set up, and over 20 people were doing the exercises every day. Among them, one family had three generations practicing Dafa. When we were doing the exercises, their boy and girl did the exercises together with us. They were very diligent and looked so adorable.

I was full of energy after recovering from my illnesses. I didn’t feel tired even when riding a bicycle or going up and down the stairs. I also became kind-hearted, and liked to help others, so I took the initiative to run errands for them. Afterward, I was asked to become the coordinator of the outdoor practice site in our area.

When Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Jiang Zemin saw that more and more people were practicing Dafa, he became very jealous. He spread rumors to slander and defame the practice. Our exercise sites were soon stopped, and we had to do the exercises at home.

Dafa Helped Resolve Years of Grudges

My in-laws’ family was very poor. Out of the four brothers, none had property of their own. As a result, all four families had to live together. My father-in-law asked his sons for money, but none of them could provide any. We had no money either. But out of sympathy, I asked my husband to give him the money that the neighbors gave us to buy coal, and we would find a way to pay it back.

However, everyone in my in-laws’ family all thought that we had money, and they didn’t believe that the money we gave away wasn’t ours. They then asked us to pay the debts they owed when the big family’s assets were distributed among my in-laws and the four sons. We didn’t refuse but said we would pay the debts later after we earned more money.

However my in-laws came to ask for money, saying that they owed my mother-in-law’s brother’s family and that the family demanded the money back. We said that we didn’t have the money, but my in-laws didn’t believe us, and repeatedly came to ask for money.

I later learned that my mother-in-law’s brother’s family didn’t demand the money urgently; they knew our family was in financial difficulty and said we didn’t need to help pay off the debt. When I learned that my in-laws had lied to me, I was very upset. How could they try to pressure their son like this?! I was so angry, and told my husband that I would not care if anything bad happened to his family in the future!

When I began practicing Dafa and following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, I came to understand that those tribulations happened for a reason. Dafa resolved my years of grudges, so I took the initiative to make up with my in-laws. But they didn’t believe I would really treat them well, and thought that I would still hold a grudge.

When my mother-in-law fell ill, her sons took turns taking care of her. When it was our turn, I took great care of her. I put aside previous grievances and treated her with kindness. I washed her hair and bathed her. When she had difficulty defecating, I often helped her by using my hands.

My mother-in-law remarked, “I really didn’t expect you to take care of me so well!” When I had some free time, I chatted with her about how Dafa could help heal one’s illnesses, and asked her to sincerely recite the phrases “Falun Dafa is good!” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” She apologized to me before she passed away.

Before I began practicing Falun Dafa, the grudge between one of my husband’s brothers and me ran even deeper. Back then, the village distributed land. My husband and his brother agreed that our land would be used by his brother to build a house, and in exchange he would give his old house to us. But when he finished building the new house, he changed his mind. Our two families became enemies, and we stopped talking to each other. This lasted for 14 years.

When I began practicing Dafa, I stopped hating him. He later got sick, and his wife divorced him. Their son was busy with work and had no time to take care of him. At that time, we often worked outside plowing the land for others, and he followed us wherever we went.

When he was seriously ill and hospitalized, he needed a lot of money. His other brothers raised money for him, and our family chipped in 30,000 yuan. When he was in the hospital, no one took care of him, so my husband looked after him while I took care of the housework by myself.

After he was discharged from the hospital, he lived in our house until he passed away two years ago. Before he passed away, he apologized to us. When his son saw all the things that we did, he changed his views and began admiring my practice. His wife also said, “I think you are the most wronged in our family!”

I didn’t resent them, however, nor did I have misgivings about suffering any hardship. It was Dafa that resolved our years of grudges. It was Dafa’s Master who taught me to be a good person. Our families now celebrate the Chinese New Year together every year. The whole family now lives in harmony.

Dafa Teaches Me to Pursue Kindness

The father of the CCP secretary of our village was in poor health and had to use a catheter to urinate. I told him the facts about Dafa and shared with him my personal experience, which was completely different from what the Party propagated on TV to deceive people. My husband was worried that I would be persecuted, and said, “You were so brave to tell those things to the secretary’s father.”

I told him that our Master taught us to be good by following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and that what I said was all true. I asked him, “Since gods can see things clearly, what do I have to be afraid of?”

The secretary’s father appreciated being told the truth and shouted out the phrases, “Falun Dafa is good!” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” I felt joyous that he accepted my words. After he went home, he pulled out his catheter and was able to urinate by himself. When the secretary saw that, he also made the right choice by quitting the CCP and its youth organizations to have a bright future.

When my family learned about the CCP secretary, they were no longer opposed to my clarifying the facts to people. My son, especially, became very supportive of my practice. I often told him how miraculous Dafa is, and he was very appreciative.

Before that, someone once came to our village looking for a place to rent. I gave him a vacant house in my hometown. Community personnel and the police then came to threaten that if I didn’t stop practicing Falun Dafa, they would have me arrested. This person spoke up for me, saying, “She is a good person. You can’t arrest her. She is so kind!”

I was very grateful to him for protecting practitioners after learning the truth. His good deeds also brought him blessings. His long-standing leg pain was completely cured, and he hasn’t had a relapse for more than ten years.

Thinking back on my cultivation journey, if I hadn’t begun cultivating, I would just been a burden to my family. Dafa gave me a new life and taught me to cultivate kindness by following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
