Falun Dafa Teaches Me to Be a Good Person

(Minghui.org) I’m a rural woman who started practicing Falun Dafa in the spring of 1998. Master Li teaches us to be good people, and I have worked on improving my xinxing. I am now healthy and have lots of energy, even though I’m over 60 years old. My husband works away from home, so I take care of everything. When he is very busy, I also go to help him. My wonderful life is a blessing that comes from practicing Dafa. Thank you, Master, for your compassion!

My Fractured Ankle Heals Without Medical Treatment

Fifteen years ago, I went to the mountain to pick mushrooms by myself. While walking home afterward, I fell after stepping in a pothole at the bottom of the hill, and heard a “click” sound. A thought crossed my mind, “My leg is broken.” I then immediately thought, “I’m a practitioner, and I’ll be alright.”

I recalled Master’s teaching:

“We have said that good or bad comes from a person’s initial thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)

After I returned to my senses from the fall, I noticed that one of my ankles was sprained. I was wearing my rubber shoes and didn’t bother to take them off to check the ankle. I rubbed the foot with my hands and stood up, despite the pain. Carrying my basket, I limped toward home. It was painful, and I had to stop to rest after walking a few steps, then continue walking. I kept thinking, “I’m a practitioner; I should be fine. I believe in Master and the Fa, no matter what happens to me!”

After I got home, my entire foot, from below my calf all the way to the toes, was swollen and had turned blue and purple. I also saw a small bone bulging out from behind the outer ankle.

My husband was working away from home, and I was alone. I still did my housework and fed the chickens. While walking on the street, my sister-in-law saw me limping, and said to me, “Rub it with some liquor and take some anti-inflammatory medicine.” I smiled and thought to myself, “I’m a Falun Dafa practitioner, I don’t need those things. I firmly believe in Dafa.” I didn’t need to listen to her or take her advice.

My ankle was back to normal after a month, and I had not accepted any medical intervention. I was able to walk normally as before. What’s more miraculous is that the bulging bone had grown back into place.

If I had gone to the hospital, it would have cost me a lot of money for the treatment. This miraculous experience proved that Dafa is extraordinary and has infinite power. It also strengthened my will to cultivate and my firm belief in Master and the Fa.

Clearing Snow Off the Road to Help Pedestrians

Last winter, we had heavy snowfall not seen in decades. Snow and ice covered the street and people dared not walk with big steps. Nowadays, in the rural areas one comes across a lot of elderly people. The twelfth lunar month was approaching, and people were going out shopping for the New Year holidays. I worried about the elderly walking on the icy street, and mentioned this to my husband -- a fellow practitioner, “We are practitioners. Master taught us to be good people. Let’s shovel the snow off the street.” My husband agreed!

My husband shoveled the snow in front of me, while I swept the street surface with a big bamboo broom. My left wrist was still swollen and in pain from a fall a few days before, and I couldn’t hold the broom handle. I held the end of the broom handle under my left armpit and swept with my right hand. It took us half a day to complete our section of the street, from in front of our door to the main road, about half a mile long.

My husband had to leave before we completed the entire section, so I did the rest by myself. After I finished the work, I thought to myself, “I wouldn’t have done this today if I were not a Falun Dafa practitioner.” Master taught me to be a good person by following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and to think of others first. As a Dafa practitioner, I considered the needs of the villagers and wanted to give them a ray of hope.

On my way home, I happened to see the village head driving by. We greeted each other. Seeing me carrying a shovel and a broom, he realized that I had cleared the street, and exclaimed, “There are still good people these days!” I replied, “Captain, going to a meeting? Please put in a good word for Dafa. It is Master who taught me to be a good person!”

Being an Honest Person

Last spring, my husband drove a farm vehicle carrying a full load of corn kernels to the grain procurement facility. After our corn was weighed, we drove to the storage warehouse to unload. Upon arriving there, we saw two men unloading kernels from a vehicle, and they complained about the corn being wet and dirty, and not suitable for warehouse storage. I said, “Our kernels are dry and clean without impurities. We cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and our Master taught us to be good people.”

My husband and I took the opportunity to talk to them about Falun Dafa and the persecution. We also advised them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organizations to have a safe future. They agreed to quit the Young Pioneers. I then asked them to remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” so they receive blessings. They kept saying thanks.

My husband and I went to the market last fall and brought along two bags of peanuts to sell. I told the peanuts buyer, “We have nearly 2,200 Jin (2425 pounds) at home. They are all good quality, and are clean without stones, dirt, or any other impurities.” The peanut buyer looked at the peanuts we brought and said, “I’ll pay 3.9 yuan per Jin. You can bring all your peanuts here.” That was the top price at the time. We were the only family in the village who sold peanuts at such a high price.

When we delivered the first load of peanuts, the buyer checked each of the bags; he even cut the bottom of the bag to check if there was any dirt. When he saw that the peanuts were all free of impurities, he was relieved, and smiled. When we delivered the second load of peanuts, he just waved his hand and instructed us to go directly to the scale, and then to the warehouse to unload. Our peanuts were poured out and piled up there; they looked to be the best peanuts there.

My husband and I go to the oil mill in winter, to extract soybean oil. Every year during this period, many people come to extract oil. When we saw elderly people having difficulty carrying their beans, we helped them and took the opportunity to talk to them about Falun Dafa and the persecution. We then advised them to quit the CCP organizations.

I once talked to a man, and another man next to us also listened. However, he tried to avoid me and turned around and went into the oil mill. But when it was his turn to extract oil, he had difficulty carrying his bag of beans, which was about 80 to 100 Jin (88-110 pounds), so I helped him. He was moved and said, “People who practice Falun Dafa are really good people. No one else has helped me!” After weighing the beans, I helped him carry them to the mill. After the oil was extracted, I also helped him load it into his vehicle. During the process, I talked to him about Falun Dafa and advised him to quit the CCP organizations. He readily agreed and remarked, “You have helped me in several ways today!”

One morning, while walking on the street in the township, I saw a woman collecting scrap. She was wearing worn-out clothes and was curled up because of the cold. I asked her, “It’s so cold, what are you doing so early in the morning?” She said, “I’m here collecting some scraps. I’ve been waiting here for more than an hour.” She told me that her husband had passed away years prior, and that she was struggling to make a living. She also mentioned she had two children. She asked, “Can you help me load the scraps?” I was wearing clean clothes, but without hesitation I helped her load the scrap into her cart. She was moved. I talked to her about Falun Dafa and quitting the CCP for a safe future, and she agreed to quit.

People Blessed After Learning the Truth

Our local practitioners worked together as a whole to tell people about Falun Dafa and the persecution, which greatly revived their kind nature. People in our area have been having a good harvest every year. Last year, the harvest was even better; the peanuts yielded 800 to 900 Jin per mu (1 acre equals 6 mu), and the market price for peanuts was never higher, so the farmers were all happy. Our surrounding counties had hail last year, which ruined their crop. However, our area had no hail damage. This blessing was really the result of people learning the truth about Dafa.

I have kept talking to the people in our village over the years about the persecution, and advised them to quit the CCP organizations. Since the outbreak of COVID in 2020, those in our village who learned the truth about Falun Dafa all remained safe. My brother lived nearby and suffered from asthma. I gave him Minghui calendars every year, and he gladly accepted them.

He was later hospitalized after experiencing a severe asthma attack. His children thought he would not survive, and had prepared for his funeral. But because he learned the truth about Dafa, he received blessings and survived. After being discharged from the hospital, his complexion became rosy and his appetite also improved. His wife, who is over 80 years old, was also not infected by the virus.

Conclusion

The people in our village are envious of my family. The three generations in my family all cultivate Dafa. We often read the Fa and do the exercises together, and we live together harmoniously. Everyone is healthy, both physically and mentally. We keep Master’s teachings in mind, and we help the people around us to understand the beauty of Falun Dafa. We hope that everyone can learn the truth and receive Dafa’s blessings and protection, and we hope that everyone will choose a better future for themselves and their families!
