(Minghui.org) My daughter is in her senior year of college and will be graduating in a few months.
When she was on summer vacation her sophomore year, she was bitten by a mosquito and developed intense itching and blistering. It soon spread all over her body. The two blisters on each foot were the size of ping-pong balls. After the fluid was drained, it quickly filled up again!
The doctor at the county hospital gave her some medicine for hives. When that didn’t help, we went to the city hospital.
The expert in the city also diagnosed her with hives. The doctor took pictures of her blisters to use in teaching cases and prescribed her a bunch of medications.
After a ten-day course of treatment, scabs began to form on the affected area, and everyone thought it was healed. But after the scabs fell off, the skin did not heal and yellow fluid oozed out. We went back to the hospital for a different medication, but nothing helped.
After the summer vacation, my daughter returned to school. She went to several other bigger hospitals and spent a lot of money, but there was never any improvement.
It dragged on for two years. When she came back for summer break last year, she brought home a big bag of medications. Her daily routine consisted of taking pills and applying ointment to her skin. The ointment was everywhere on her clothes and bed sheets. It was hard to wash it off.
Even though she did not say anything, I knew she was miserable—it was written all over her face. The condition was very inconvenient. Her self-esteem also suffered a great deal. She could not wear short-sleeved shirts or shorts in the summer and avoided going out.
As a Falun Dafa cultivator, I knew only Master Li, the founder of Falun Dafa, could help her. I urged her to sincerely recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” so that Dafa would bless and protect her. I also urged her to watch Master’s Fa lectures and read Dafa books. But nothing changed significantly at first.
Looking back, I realize that I had a strong attachment to sentimentality. I wanted to see her improve so badly that my motive was not pure. From the Fa teachings, we all know everyone has their own fate—how could I change her fate? I should let go of my human sentimentality and let Master handle everything.
Before I headed out to my Fa study group one day, my daughter suddenly asked, “Mother, could you let me read Zhuan Falun, the book you read so often?”
I did not expect my daughter would want to read Dafa books. I suddenly understood that everything I asked her to do before did not come from her heart, but was imposed on her by me. And with this thought from her heart, Master helped her overcome the difficulty.
She told me that, before she finished reading the book, she did not want to go back to school. But reading the book changed her mind. She said she felt better and the pressure was gone. She bought her train ticket and returned to school.
Two days later, my daughter told me that her skin no longer oozed and had begun healing. How amazing!
