(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) in 1996 and am approaching 70 years old.
I used to suffer from heart disease, liver cirrhosis with ascites, insomnia, and leg pain. I also battled hyperthyroidism. Doctors told me that my hepatitis was incurable because the virus was in my blood. They predicted I had less than five years to live.
After I began practicing Falun Dafa, all my ailments vanished. Now, I am full of energy and enjoy excellent health. This is the power of Falun Dafa—it has truly remade me into a brand-new person.
I would like to share about the dramatic changes that happened to my daughter thanks to the blessings from Dafa.
My Daughter Back Then
My daughter has been very bold since she was little. Even at a young age, she was quick to speak her mind, unforgiving, and argumentative. She would stand up to adults and sometimes even hit people.
Once, when my daughter was still in elementary school, I took her to the market. We saw a vendor selling chain links and she asked the price. The seller said, “Three yuan. I actually bought them for three-fifty so I’m selling at a loss.”
My daughter rudely replied, “What’s wrong with you? You bought them for three-fifty, but now you’re selling them for less! I was planning to buy some, but after hearing you say that, I’ve changed my mind.” The vendor was shocked and left speechless by her words.
On another occasion, when my daughter and I were on a bus, a middle-aged woman behind us cut in front of my daughter to get off, jostling her in the process. The woman then glanced back at my daughter and muttered something unpleasant.
My daughter didn’t say anything and walked past the crowded bus stop area. Then she suddenly grabbed the woman and started hitting her! She was not even 20 years old at the time.
My daughter used to frequently visit internet cafes, stir up trouble, and get into fights. Once, she injured someone and I had to pay the victim’s medical expenses. When she got home, I said angrily, “If you keep acting like this, you might end up getting arrested one day.”
She was completely unconcerned and replied defiantly, “Isn’t this what you taught me? You told me, if anyone bullies you, hit them! If you injure them, I’ll pay the medical bills. If you kill them, I’ll pay with my life.”
That was indeed how I had taught her, fearing she might be bullied. Looking back, I felt both fear and regret. If she had continued down that path, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Dafa Changed Me
When I started practicing, I came to understand the meaning of life and how to be a good person, striving to return to one’s true, original self. I learned about the principles of karmic retribution, the transformation of virtue and karma, and the true meaning of loss and gain.
By constantly purifying and rectifying myself according to the Fa teachings and correcting my thoughts and actions, the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance cleansed my body and mind. My character improved and my spiritual realm was elevated.
In every aspect of life, I hold myself strictly to the Fa principles. At home, I care for and treat my family well. When issues arise, I look inward and cultivate myself. Consequently, my family has become harmonious and filled with joy.
My Daughter Now
After witnessing my mind-body transformation, my daughter started to change and became more sensible. Guided by traditional culture and the principles of Dafa, she gradually shed her bad habits and transformed into a good person who values benevolence, integrity, and morality.
One day, while my daughter was collecting payments at work, a client handed over more than 4,000 yuan in cash, including two extra bills. After counting the money twice and discovering the extra cash, she said to the client, “Please take back the 200 extra yuan.”
The client was surprised and pleased, saying, “Thank you so much! You are such a good person.”
Later, my daughter’s boss and colleagues remarked, “No one would know if you just pocketed that money.”
My daughter responded, “There are divine beings watching from above. My mother taught me that one must give to receive and we should consider others. I will not take money against my conscience.” Her boss and colleagues came to place great trust in her.
On another occasion, while driving, my daughter’s car was rear-ended at an intersection. The other driver got out and said, “I’m so sorry. My mind wandered. Let’s look over your car to check for any damage. I have insurance.”
My daughter checked the car and said, “There’s nothing major, just a few little scratches. I will get them fixed at the dealership later. You can leave.”
The man was surprised and touched, saying, “This is the first time I’ve met someone so generous. I’d like to be friends. Here is my business card. If you ever need help, let me know!”
My daughter said with a smile, “That’s quite a title! You must be a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) member? Nowadays, there are so many disasters and your rank won’t protect you. I pray that Heaven keeps you safe. You really ought to quit the Party. Just remember that ‘Falun Dafa is good,’ and you’ll receive even greater blessings!”
The driver said, “Oh, that’s what you believe in. No wonder.”
My daughter replied, “My elders believe in it. I can see you’re a good person. I’m telling you this out of genuine concern for your well-being.”
The man immediately said, “Alright, I believe this.”
When my daughter got home, she smiled and said, “Mom, I encouraged another person to quit today.” She had previously persuaded several of her close friends and classmates to quit as well.
Dafa purified me and transformed me into a good person who takes fame and fortune lightly, cherishes kindness, and acts selflessly for the benefit of others. I am gratified by my daughter’s transformation.
Without the compassionate teachings and salvation of Dafa and Master, neither my daughter nor I would be where we are today. Bathed in the Buddha-light of Falun Dafa, my family members have also received boundless grace and immeasurable benefits!
