(Clearwisdom.net) Both my husband and I have good educational backgrounds and were born in the 1960s. Since the day we were born, we were living under the lies and deception of the Communist Party, yet we did not realize it. After we grew up, our careers made us more stubborn. Our view of Buddhism and Taoism in China, as well as Christianity in foreign countries, was that they were "spiritual opium." These ideas were fed to us by the Communist Party. Likewise, our opinion of Falun Gong was also derived from the Communist Party's media, especially the slanderous TV shows about the April 25 Appeal and the staged Tiananmen self-immolation, which poisoned us deeply.
One of the alumni of my husband's school was a Falun Gong practitioner. She often visited us at our home. She always mentioned Falun Gong during our chats, intentionally or not. Every time she mentioned it, my husband and I would immediately change the subject, and she never got upset or tried to forcibly continue the topic.
On March 14, 2005, my husband and I were at work, when my mother-in-law suddenly passed out while washing vegetables in the kitchen. When we got the message from our neighbor, my husband and I immediately ran back home and saw my mother-in-law lying on the floor. Water had overflowed the sink and was all over the floor. We called the emergency number at once and got my mother-in-law to the hospital. After a CT examination, the doctor determined that it was a blockage in the brain stem and her condition was critical. The doctor also said that the day before, there had been a patient with the same symptom who died, so he asked us to prepare for my mother-in-law's funeral. My husband and I were shocked by the sudden incident, and my husband cried with sorrow.
The school friend of my husband also got the message and came to the hospital. She said with sincerity, "The hospital pretty much can't do anything to cure the disease your mother has. The Falun Gong that I have been wanting to tell you about is supernatural, and many patients with strange, hard-to-treat diseases have been cured through practicing Falun Gong, just like a miracle. Some have said 'Falun Dafa is good' with sincerity, and miracles have happened. Now that your mother is in such a situation, please trust me this time." She asked us to sincerely recite "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good."Given how dire the situation was, my husband and I said that we would give it a try. The practitioner said seriously, "Please don't do this with a mindset of giving it a try. You can't save your mother that way. You must recite wholeheartedly with sincerity and respect." We started to do it as she said. We took turns sitting by the bed of my mother-in-law, saying the words in our minds. Time passed one hour after another, and my mother-in-law didn't move or make any response at all. By six o'clock the next morning, my husband was so exhausted that he fell asleep in front of the bed. In his half-awake state, he felt that my mother-in-law was moving. He opened his eyes, and could not believe what he was seeing: my mother-in-law was staring at him joyfully. My husband was so happy and surprised, and hugged his mother at once.
The doctor came to work at eight o'clock. The nurse said that my mother-in-law woke up. The doctor did not wait and ran to her room, saying on the way, "Miracle, it's really a miracle." The doctor came in and asked my mother-in-law several questions, and she answered with joy. The doctor checked her arms and legs, everything was normal, and there weren't any aftereffects. The doctor thought it was unbelievable.
From my mother-in-law's recovery, we saw the magnificence of Falun Dafa, which made us think at a deeper level. During more subsequent contact with this practitioner, we understood the truth about Falun Gong, and finally were fortunate enough to begin the path of cultivation in Falun Dafa. Later some things happened that ordinary people would not believe. I will share one of the most magnificent ones here:
I didn't have a period until I was 18. My period was not regular, often delayed, and sometimes delayed for three or four months. My abdomen became very full and felt very painful. Every period seemed like a big disease to me, both my hands and feet were icy cold and did not recover until several days later. This is why my husband and I didn't have a child until four years after our wedding. I've seen many traditional Chinese doctors, and they said it was a case of "cold uterus." I'd tried many traditional Chinese herbal medicines, but did not get any better. After we started Falun Dafa cultivation, my body experienced unexpected change. My period started to become regular, the pain and dread of each period disappeared, and my hands and feet feel warm now.
Seeing the difference in us, my mother-in-law, father-in-law, as well as my father and sister-in-law also started to practice Falun Dafa. Other relatives have seen this and appreciated the wonder and beauty of Falun Dafa.
