From Bitter Resentment to a Happy Ending

(Minghui.org) I’m in my sixties and I’m a peasant farmer from the lowest rung of society. Master and Dafa enlightened me, enabling someone like me—who barely had any education—to express myself in writing. Thank you, compassionate and great Master!

I’d like to tell you about my experiences after I began practicing Falun Dafa.

I got married in the 1980s. Life was hard back then; we had to repay all the wedding debts ourselves—we truly started from scratch. My husband is the third child, with two older brothers and one younger sister. In those days, elders favored grandsons, but I gave birth to a daughter. My oldest brother-in-law was a well-paid accountant at a factory, and the second brother-in-law inherited his father’s job. Their wives were eloquent and held good jobs.

My in-laws favored them and treated them preferentially. My husband and I weren’t talkative or capable, so we weren’t well-liked. I felt angry and thought: “They’re all your sons—even if one isn’t capable, he’s still your son—why are you so biased?” I became resentful but kept it bottled up, which eventually made me ill. I silently swore to myself: “Just wait and see, we’ll settle this later!”

I heard that Falun Dafa is effective in improving health, so I started practicing to resolve my illnesses. Sure enough, I was soon illness-free and felt light and energetic. I stepped onto the path of returning to my true self. After obtaining the Fa, I understood why I was sick, why my life was so difficult, and why my in-laws didn’t favor me. I also realized the importance of being a good person and that to return to one’s original nature, one must let go of various human attachments.

When my in-laws grew old and ill, they needed care. My husband and I helped them the most. I cared for them attentively, without complaint—I was not afraid of dirt or exhaustion. When my father-in-law was hospitalized, we stopped working for over a month to care for him. We had taken out a 40,000-yuan loan to buy a four-wheel vehicle to transport bricks. We had to repay the loan on time with interest, and our child’s education costs were also high. The financial pressure was enormous!

Although we incurred losses, as a cultivator, I knew I should do what’s right. I followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I let go of past grievances and personal interests, and I put others first. I knew that the older brothers had regular jobs and couldn’t just stop working, while our schedule was flexible. They sometimes helped when they had time, but the long-term caregiving was done by us and my husband’s younger sister. She and I became very good friends.

After my mother-in-law had strokes, she needed IV treatment in the spring and fall to prevent relapses. For several years, my in-laws mostly stayed at my home. and since the village doctor was willing, the elderly couple preferred my assistance.

My father-in-law passed away when he was 77. My mother-in-law, because she believed Falun Dafa is good, lived peacefully until she was 91.

While my mother-in-law stayed in my home I read the Fa to her, and she listened attentively. I told her that sincerely reciting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” would bring her blessings. She did and believed in Dafa. She kept the truth-clarifying amulet within arm’s reach (as she was bedridden).

Miraculously, she no longer felt sick, stopped taking medication, and didn’t need IV treatments anymore. Though she couldn’t walk, she was in great spirits and mentally alert. I took meticulous care of her. Whenever guests visited, she praised me. I said, “Mom, it’s not me who’s good—it’s Master who’s good, and Falun Dafa is good. We are all blessed by Dafa. Just thank Master and Dafa.” She and the guests would smile.

My mother-in-law passed away peacefully when she was 91. Both she and my father-in-law passed away in our home. According to tradition, they weren’t supposed to be in our house at the end, but they both chose to be with us in their final days, so we respected their wishes. I felt this was only right—to do our best to let them leave this world in peace.

After I began practicing, I often arranged for relatives to gather for meals at our home several times a year. Everyone said they felt comfortable and happy at our place. I knew this was due to a cultivator’s righteous energy field. I told them, “Our door is always open to you—come whenever you like.” They nodded and thanked us. Most of our family members quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Our home is a peaceful haven, which is praised and envied by villagers.

Life is pretty good for us now. The old house we lived in when we got married has been renovated—and is now spacious and bright. My husband does odd jobs; although he’s not skilled and has been a laborer all his life, he understands the truth about Falun Dafa and supports my cultivation, so he’s been blessed. Now in his sixties, he’s healthy and works year-round. We’ve saved some retirement funds and are considered middle-class in the village.

Our daughter and son-in-law have respectable jobs. They bought a house and a car in the county town they live in. Her father-in-law works, and her mother-in-law helps with the grandchild—it’s a happy and harmonious family.

My original bitter thought of “Just wait and see!” has been transformed into such a happy ending. I’m deeply grateful to Master and Dafa. Thank you, Master, for your immense compassion in guiding me onto the righteous path! It is Dafa that changed me and everything in my life. I bow in gratitude to you! My experience also proves the great, miraculous power of Dafa—benefiting the mind and body of countless practitioners. Only we know this feeling clearly in our hearts. This is a high-level righteous Fa that cannot be destroyed by the persecution!

Thank you, Master!
