(Minghui.org) At the end of April 2021, one of my clients confided in me, “My manager’s been having a rough time the past few days. His only son, who is studying in the US, was infected with COVID-19 and is in critical condition.”
My client knows that I practice Falun Dafa, an ancient spiritual and meditation discipline based on the universal values of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I had told her about people who’d been blessed by repeating the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I suggested that she share those stories with her manager, who is a good friend of hers. If they were willing to give it a try, it would help them.
Several days later, the client sent me a message, “Thank you so much! My manager’s son is getting better. He can drink water now. Your help was very much appreciated!”
A few days later, she told me that the young man had been discharged from the hospital.
After she witnessed the power of the auspicious phrases, she told her father, who was getting chemotherapy for cancer and was extremely weak.
Soon after her father began to recite the phrases, he recovered faster than expected. He was amazed and insisted on coming to visit me all the way from Beijing. He was very interested in learning more about Falun Dafa. I gave him Master’s lecture videos and the booklets with practitioners’ cultivation stories.
Later she told me that her father listened to Master Li’s (Dafa’s founder) teachings every day. “Recently he went back for a follow-up checkup and the doctors said he’s recovered really well!”
One day she came to me in a hurry to get some Falun Dafa informational materials and left. She said, “I’ll tell you about it later.” It turned out that one of her friends had been injured in a car accident. She told her friend about the auspicious phrases, hoping he could recover quickly.
One day my colleague Lin told me that she’d been diagnosed with uterine fibroids and the doctor was suggesting laser surgery.
I also told her about Falun Dafa and persuaded her to quit the Chinese Communist Party, which has been such a disaster for China. She was very receptive.
When she returned to work, she stopped by my office to tell me that on the day she was to have the surgery, the doctor discovered that the fibroids had shrunk so much he decided that the surgery was no longer necessary and prescribed her medicine instead. She believed she’d been blessed by chanting the auspicious phrases and wondered how they could produce such amazing results.
I told her that it is different from Western medicine, that it is power from the Falun Dafa Buddha school cultivation practice that’s at work.
“No wonder you are so healthy,” she said.
Something similar happened to another colleague, Jia, over 10 years ago. One day Jia told me that he was scheduled to have heart surgery at Jishuitan Hospital in Beijing, which would cost him at least 80,000 yuan—a huge expense at that time.
I told him that, after practicing Falun Dafa, all my health problems were gone and I didn’t have to spend a penny. I also suggested that he recite the auspicious phrases. He said he would try.
When I ran into Jia later, he told me that just before he went to Beijing, he had a thorough check-up and was told that he didn’t need that surgery anymore.
One winter a few years ago, my aunt had a heart attack and was hospitalized. When I went to visit her, she was worried that the doctor wouldn’t discharge her before the Chinese New Year and it’s considered unlucky in her region to spend the new year in the hospital.
I also told her about the auspicious phrases and how others have recovered by reciting them. I also reminded her to stop complaining about her daughter-in-law. “As you are receiving the IV drips, you complained to the woman next to you about this and that regarding your daughter-in-law. We all know that the mind and body are connected. When you are in a bad mood, it would also affect the effectiveness of the treatment.”
A few days later, my cousin called me, “My mother will be discharged tomorrow. We can celebrate the New Year at home!”
The next day I went to the hospital to see my aunt off. She was happy and wondered why reciting the phrases was so powerful. I said, “It has worked for many people. The auspicious phrases are from the Buddha cultivation practice. If you believe in it, you will be blessed.”
My step-grandmother is only nine years older than my mother. She has been very nice to my mother and me. I like her a lot. Since I became an adult, I have often taken care of her and bought her food, furniture, appliances, and clothes.
Sometimes my aunts told me not to buy her so many expensive clothes and shoes because she was over 80 and didn’t have many years left. I told them, “That’s exactly why I want her to enjoy the rest of her life as much as possible. Although she always tells me not to buy more clothes, she is always happy to try new ones. I am happy when she is happy.”
My grandma has believed in Buddhism for decades. My mother, who is also a Falun Dafa practitioner, told her about the auspicious phrases several times. Even though Grandma witnessed my mother’s improvement both physically and mentally, she didn’t want to repeat the phrases since she thought it meant changing her faith.
One winter when my grandma was almost 80, she had a heart attack and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the city hospital. My mother whispered in her ear, “Mother, please believe in whatever is good for you and repeat, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ It will help you.”
Grandma was unable to talk at that time, but she nodded. After that, she quickly improved and was discharged in a few days. When she came to my home, I told her more about Falun Dafa. She said, “Well, you and your mother are healthy and kind after practicing Falun Dafa. I will also practice it from now on.”
After that, she recited the phrases for an hour after she first got up. It took her 28 days to fully memorize the phrases. One day she forgot how to pronounce the character “forbearance.” She was so anxious that she burst into tears, “Meizi, how come I can never remember this character?”
I explained to her, “Grandma, simply reciting the phrases is not enough. You have to apply it to your actions. You often criticize my aunt, complaining that she is slow. You are always unsatisfied with her because she cannot meet your requirements. Maybe that is why you cannot remember this character.” Grandma agreed.
Grandma once stepped on a stool to get something from the top of the closet and fell on her back. She became incontinent but remained conscious. She said in her mind, “Master, please save me. Falun Dafa is good.” Then she got up on her own and she was totally fine, with no other injuries. She was amazed and knew that Master had protected her.
