(Minghui.org) My husband and I have been practicing Falun Dafa since 1997. We both improved our health and moral character, and are grateful for Master Li Hongzhi’s compassionate salvation.

My daughter told me that my grandson’s feet were very smelly. We used to use a herb that could get rid of foot odor by putting it in shoes or washing our feet with it. I told my daughter about this herb and she gave some to my grandson that evening. He washed his feet with it and put some in his shoes. The next morning, neither his feet nor his shoes smelled bad anymore. My daughter believed the herb was effective and asked us to collect some more for them to take home.

When we arrived at the riverbank, the grass had all withered. So we waited until Spring to pull the herbs that had grown very tall. It took us great effort to harvest some.

Learning a Valuable Lesson

After lunch, however, I got a very bad toothache. I looked inward and thought it was interference caused by my attachment to food and the fact that I didn’t cultivate my speech. I didn’t pay it too much attention and just did the three things as usual. However, my teeth hurt as soon as I lay down. I kept looking inward but couldn’t find the reason.

My wife later developed symptoms like shingles, which were very painful and itchy. We knew that cultivators don’t have illnesses, so we didn’t take it seriously; it didn’t affect us going about our regular routines. But as soon as we got home, my wife felt very uncomfortable.

I suddenly came to understand that we both had the attachment to qing (emotion) and shouldn’t have pulled the herbs. My wife didn’t agree and thought the herbs were fine for ordinary people to use. She kept looking inward, however, but couldn’t find the root of the problem. Her shingles got worse, extending from her back to the abdominal area and circled her body.

She also came to understand that we should give up the attachment of qing for our family and shouldn’t have pulled the herbs and killed them. We apologized to Master and asked Him to strengthen us.

My toothache went away after a month, and my wife fully recovered from shingles after two months.

Master enlightened us to walk on the righteous path and eliminated karma for us. We didn’t take any medicine and fully recovered. We thank Master for His compassionate salvation.

My Mother-in-law Is Protected By Dafa

My 88-year-old mother-in-law lives alone in the countryside, and her children were worried about her. As Falun Dafa practitioners, we know the most reassuring thing is to tell someone about the goodness of Dafa. So we gave her audio recordings of Master’s Fa lectures and Dafa disciples’ songs. She listens to them every day and has been very healthy and able to take care of herself all these years. She fell countless times but never broke any bones. She always exclaims, “I’m illness free!”

Some kids from the village once went to steal her loquats (like oranges). The loquat tree grew on the edge of an embankment behind her house and it was dangerous to climb. So she told them that she would get the loquats for them using a long bamboo pole.

However, she slipped and fell off the edge, five or six meters down. After she came conscious, all the kids had left. She checked herself and found nothing wrong. Her head had landed between two stones. The consequences could have been disastrous. Without Master’s protection, she would have been injured for sure. She knew Master protected her.

In summer, the ripe corn is tied into bundles and hung to dry on thick wooden sticks weighing over 200 lbs. One of the sticks once broke when she was walking underneath. She was knocked unconscious, and it took a while for her to come around.

She crawled slowly out from the pile of corn, checked herself, and found nothing wrong. Master had protected her again!
