Guided by Falun Dafa, My Husband and Son Become Outstanding

(Minghui.org) My husband is a form master at a local middle school. Nowadays even schools are corrupt. I encourage my husband to use Falun Dafa’s principles to stay pure in this chaotic world and be upright. 

Many students and parents consult my husband to select a proper university based on their entrance exams scores. He welcomes everyone and honestly helps them. 

He refuses all the red envelopes (bribes) the parents try to give him. Instead he told them he was happy to help them. Some students get offers from the universities they chose and transferred money to him via WeChat to thank him. He showed me the money transfers he received and asked if he could accept them. 

I smiled and said, “No, please do not accept them. It is not easy for the students’ families. We should be considerate. Furthermore, you will lose virtue if the money doesn’t belong to you. You worked hard but refused the extra money, so haven't you accumulated virtue?” I recited Master’s article “Wealth with Virtue” to him, and said, “Although we are not wealthy, we are not poor. Do we need this money? Wouldn’t it be better to accumulate virtue and make our family healthier, our son excellent and more successful? Doesn’t that sound better?” He was very happy and said, “Okay. I’ll listen to you.” I said, “This is a heavenly principle.” My husband was not greedy and considered everything from the students’ perspectives. He helped every student unconditionally. 

My husband taught well and treated every student kindly. All the students said he was a good teacher. Even though he was the grade director, he was easygoing and helped the teachers who had difficulties. 

Many parents wanted to enroll their children in his classes. The principal told him, “So many students want to be in your class. I can hardly jam them in.”

My Son Overcomes a Tribulation 

My son and husband don’t practice Falun Dafa but they acknowledge that Dafa is wonderful and accept Dafa’s principles. I kept a peaceful mentality facing the tremendous pressure of my son’s university entrance exams.

Master said, 

“Within a special dimension that does not have the concept of time, when a person is born, his or her entire lifetime already exists there simultaneously. For some people, even more than one lifetime exists there.” (Lecture Two, Zhuan Falun)

I guided him with Master’s teachings. I told him to do his best but follow his fate and always keep a positive mentality. I told him not to be jealous of other people, instead he should congratulate others’ success. He read Master’s article “Wealth with Virtue.” I told him that he should pay attention to his morals and have a better moral standard so that gods would give him wisdom. Following Dafa’s principles, he became a healthy, optimistic and excellent student and was accepted by a key university. 

When he graduated, he won the highest honor of his Ph.D. During his post-doctorate studies, he achieved a lot and was praised by his mentor and fellow students. But he was not successful when applying for a post-doctoral fund, which surprised his mentor and fellow post-doctors. It was a heavy blow.

He video called me and complained about it. He asked me to find out who gave him bad comments. 

After I talked to him, I thought of Master’s Fa “Different Levels Have Different Fa.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun). I told him not to think ill of others. Everyone understands things differently from different perspectives and can arrive at different conclusions. I asked him to jump out of his mentality and try to understand the situation from their viewpoints. He might find a new land. 

He was surprised and said, “Mom, how come you have such a way of thinking? This is exactly what we researchers are trained to have—an interdisciplinary concept. Based on your educational level, how could you possibly have such thoughts?” I smiled, “You know mom knows heavenly principles.”

I thought of Dafa’s principle of “...good or evil comes from a person’s spontaneous thought,...” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun) I told him to understand other people with kindness and not to decide whether the other person was good or bad. I asked him to remain positive and eliminate every negative thought so that he would have more opportunities and capabilities going forward. I asked him to take gain and loss lightly. I reminded him that everything was predestined. He agreed and smiled heartily.

Family War Is Resolved

My husband has four siblings. His brother’s family often stayed at his parents’ home and so did his two sisters. Our family lived some distance from his parents’ home so didn’t go there often. But I always brought gifts and whatever they needed when we visited. 

My mother-in-law had illnesses so I bought medications and supplements for her. The four siblings took turns looking after her. My husband and I were asked to look after her on Saturdays and Sundays. I felt uncomfortable because his sisters and brothers were retired and stayed at home, but they asked my husband and I who were still working and lived far away to be on duty on weekends. 

Because I am a practitioner, nothing I encounter is accidental. Why did I feel uncomfortable? I looked inward and realized I was too attached to emotion. I felt that they shouldn’t treat us like this. I let go of the attachment and felt a lot more at ease. My husband and I looked after my mother-in-law every weekend until she passed away.

Then the other siblings shouted at us and accused me of being incapable of doing anything. They doubted that I was able to look after my father-in-law who had heart and lung diseases. My sister-in-law said that the house my in-laws lived in should be given to her. They argued about the will. 

As a practitioner, I shouldn’t fight with ordinary people. I told them that I would give up any share of property or money we were entitled to. They became quiet immediately. My nephew stood up and asked me if I meant it. I assured him I would keep my promise. Thus a family war ended peacefully. 

My father-in-law passed away one year later. We left empty-handed after the funeral. I didn’t have any hatred towards my husband’s siblings. I was sorry for them because they were too lost in this material world. This also reminded me to treasure the opportunity to cultivate myself. 

I have grown up in Dafa. My family members have also benefited from Dafa. Thank you, Master! Thank you, Falun Dafa!
