(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) in 1996, and was very pious about cultivation at that time. I didn’t slack off in studying the Fa and doing the exercises. Therefore, I was in good health, and my family became more harmonious because of my efforts.
My Husband Started Cultivating
After the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Dafa began in July 1999, we lost our normal environment for cultivation. The environment became very tense, but despite the high-pressure environment, my husband started practicing.
This is how it happened: I went to Beijing twice to appeal for the right to practice Dafa. The second time, I went with five practitioners. We were brought back by local government staff shortly after we arrived in Beijing. After my husband found out that I had left for Beijing, he bought a train ticket to find me, as he was worried about me. He came back after he couldn’t find me. When he learned that I had been taken to the government building, he hurried over. The worry he had experienced over the past few days made him burst out in that moment. He had never been hard on me before, but as soon as he saw me, he kicked me.
On the way home, he started to feel pain in his legs when he rode his bicycle. He was wondering why my legs hurt. He had a dream that night. My deceased father said to him in the dream, “Don’t worry about her, your legs hurt because you kicked her.” After waking up, he told me about the dream, saying that it was very vivid.
Another time, a practitioner told me that she saw my husband and me in her dream, where we were a pair of mandarin ducks in heaven, and she also said that my husband would practice cultivation as well. I passed these words on to my husband. He is a simple and modest person. With my persuasion, he felt that these things were quite amazing. He started to study the Fa and do the exercises with me around the end of that same year.
My In-laws Witness the Beauty of Dafa
After practicing Dafa, I thought about others all the time and treated my mother-in-law like my own mother. She often said, “My dear daughter-in-law, you really are my sweetie.” If she didn’t see me for more than three days, she would say, “Sweetie, I miss you so much!”
My mother-in-law has been bedridden for more than two years. Her three sons each took a turn to take care of her for a week. My husband is the eldest, and our home is the most spacious. We are Dafa practitioners, so we must take good care of her and set a good example for the two younger brothers. Therefore, when it was our turn, I would not only make food and deliver it to her, but I would also wash my mother-in-law’s feet every day. I would help cut her finger and toenails, wash her hair, and shower her. The two brothers would only deliver meals to her when it was their turn. Once, the younger brother’s wife told me, “You’ve just got nothing better to do. I wouldn’t do any more than send her meals.”
When another practitioner heard her say that, she told her, “Your sister-in-law is different from you. She is a cultivator and desires to become a better person.” Yes, if I had not started practicing Falun Dafa, I wouldn’t do this.
It was very hot one day, and it was my turn to take care of my mother-in-law. Seeing that it was hot, my husband and I took her on a tricycle to the river to take a bath. Maybe we stretched my mother-in-law’s legs accidentally when we carried her up and down. After we got back home, she complained that her legs hurt. I asked her if I should buy some medicine for her, and she agreed. After I came back, I told her, “Just sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good!’”
She said, “I know, I really benefited from Dafa. Master helped me a lot.”
The next day, my aunt came to visit my mother-in-law. When she saw her like that, she scolded me, “How could you be so careless? See what you did to your mother-in-law!” My daughter-in-law was also around at that time, and when she heard it, she felt sorry for me. After my aunt left, my daughter-in-law said to me, “Our family cares about grandma the most, and it was an accident. How could she talk like that to you?” I told her that I am a cultivator, and it was indeed caused by our neglect.
The next day, my aunt picked up my mother-in-law and took her to live with her. I went to visit her twice a day. No matter how busy I was, I would take the time to see her every day. My mother-in-law recovered in three to five days. When my aunt asked my mother-in-law, “Who takes care of you the best?”
My mother-in-law responded, “I know very well.”
My Daughter-in-law Supports Us Practicing Dafa
My husband and I treated our daughter-in-law very well and never argued about financial interests. She would often say, “My own mother wouldn’t treat me as well as you have.”
My daughter-in-law is very supportive of Dafa. Sometimes when I was busy, she would help me print truth clarification booklets. One day, government personnel came to harass us, and they asked her, “Do you support your parents-in-law practicing Falun Gong?”
She replied, “My parents-in-law’s practice is very good for our family, and it keeps them healthy. Why shouldn’t I support? We strongly support them!” They left after hearing that. Sometimes when my husband intended to skip group Fa study at another practitioner’s place, our daughter-in-law would urge him to go.
The wonderfulness of practicing Dafa is beyond words. We will definitely continue to improve on the Fa together and do what Dafa disciples should do. Thank you, Master, for your compassion and salvation!
