(Minghui.org) I’m 50 years old this year and started practicing Falun Dafa in 2016. I’ve been wanting to write down my cultivation experiences, but I felt that I had not cultivated well enough. This time, with encouragement from other practitioners, I felt that I should report my experiences to Master Li and to fellow practitioners.
I suffered from chronic migraines ever since I was a child. My head would also hurt if I had a lack of sleep. My father also suffered from migraines, so I thought it was genetic. My mother took me to see several doctors, but the results were not good, so we eventually gave up. When I had a headache, I would take painkillers. Sometimes, I would allow my parents or siblings to pinch my head in an effort to lessen the pain. I endured more than 30 years of pain.
Back in 1995, I was working outside after dinner when bumps suddenly appeared on my skin from head to toe. They got bigger and bigger and eventually merged together. My body became swollen to the point that I no longer looked human.
In addition, I vomited and had diarrhea. I went to the hospital for an examination and was diagnosed with anaphylactic shock. However, no allergy source was identified. Since then, I dared not eat many kinds of food. I was afraid of getting a chill in the summer and often wore heavy clothes to keep warm. I also suffered from gynecological disease and constipation.
I got married when I was 25 and gave birth to a baby boy soon afterward. My mother-in-law didn’t like cooking or cleaning the house, so all those things fell to me. I had to hand-wash clothes for my in-laws and brother-in-law, as well as take care of the cattle and sheep. My mother-in-law didn’t help take care of my child. She usually went out early and spent the entire day playing Mahjong.
My elder sister-in-law is a tough woman. She often ordered her mom around, provoked conflicts, and tried to make her mom break off her relationship with us. She wanted to be in control of our family. The conflicts became more intense as time went on. I really didn’t want to live anymore, but seeing that my young child would be so pitiful without me around, I gave up on the idea. My resentment toward my in-laws became deeper and deeper. We eventually moved back to live with my parents. Whenever I thought of those events, my resentment toward my in-laws grew, and I felt even more reluctant to go back to see them again.
In May 2016, I went to the market to buy meat and met an elderly woman. She told me about Falun Dafa. I thought what she said was fantastic. Since we often ran into each other, she gave me some Dafa books and truth-clarification materials. I began to read Zhuan Falun and Hong Yin, and I decided to start practicing Falun Dafa.
The most impressive thing was that when I read Zhuan Falun the first time, Master repeatedly showed me the word xinxing on every page. I didn’t quite understand what xinxing was. But as I studied the Fa more, I gradually got it.
After reading Zhuan Falun a few times, I developed a deeper understanding of what Master said about “Loss and Gain” and “Transformation of Karma,” and realized that the conflicts with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law happened for a reason. My mind suddenly opened up, and my resentment toward them vanished into thin air.
I live five hundred kilometers (slightly over 310 miles) away from my mother-in-law, but I now take time to go back a few times a year to visit. I clean the yard and make delicious food for them. I boil a large pot of water to wash my mother-in-law’s hair, clean her up, and wash her clothes and bedding.
Every time I clean the house, I chat with my mother-in-law about family matters. I also tell her about Falun Dafa and heartwarming stories from fellow practitioners. She carries the amulet I gave her every day and looks forward to my visits.
My conflict with my elder sister-in-law was also resolved, and I visit her family every time I go back to my hometown. We no longer argue over who cares more for our parents-in-law.
I know it was Master and Dafa that changed me. My illnesses disappeared, and I have truly felt the beauty of being healthy. Under the guidance of Dafa, I will be more strict with myself in the future.
When I was 38, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. But she was often constipated and would catch a cold or fever every few days. I was particularly worried when she was sick. Because my husband kept complaining about me not taking good care of our daughter, her struggles pained my heart.
After practicing the Dafa exercises, my daughter and I now study the Fa together and look inward when we encounter problems. She’s also very conscientious and excels academically. She’s had a fever many times, but eventually, I no longer worried. When it happened, I listened to Master’s lectures and recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I understood that Master was helping me let go of my attachment to my daughter. Every time she had a fever, it usually subsided within a day, which is particularly miraculous.
During the COVID pandemic, my daughter had a fever again, which reached 104°F. We listened to Master’s lectures and asked for Master’s help in our hearts. My husband then took her temperature early the next morning. It was 99°F. No more fever! Her constipation was also gone.
From the time we started practicing Falun Dafa to the present, my daughter and I have never had the need to take any medication, and we are in good health. We’re very grateful to Master for protecting us.
