People’s Attitudes Change After Repenting Their Past Hostilities Toward Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) Because the communist regime in China fabricated lies and slandered Falun Dafa when it launched its persecution campaign, many Chinese people became prejudiced against Falun Gong. Most of these people don’t believe when Falun Gong practitioners try to tell them the truth about the persecution. Instead they attack Falun Gong and insult practitioners. This caused losses for Falun Gong, aka Falun Dafa, and leads to unfavorable consequences for these people.

Master is endlessly compassionate however. Regardless of how hostile people have been toward Dafa in the past, if they sincerely repent and truly want to change, they will receive blessings. I would like to share a few experiences where miracles occurred when people renounced the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and sincerely repented for their mistakes.

My Husband’s Story

When the communist regime launched the persecution in 1999, my husband became a different person. He vehemently opposed my practicing Falun Gong and forbade me from contacting other practitioners. I tried to clarify the truth to him, but he wouldn’t listen. He beat me and verbally insulted me, and later insulted other Dafa practitioners and even Master Li. This violence and hostility lasted for quite a few years before he let up, but then he soon relapsed. It went back and forth and dragged on for more than a decade.

My husband found some of my truth-clarification fliers in fall 2016, and he was livid. He grabbed the fliers while insulting me and Master. I remained calm and wasn’t scared at all. I looked at him, thinking, “I’ll talk to you after you’re done.”

When he finally stopped, I said calmly, “By telling them the truth, I am saving people. You shouldn’t treat me this way. Whatever people do, heaven is watching. There are divine beings three inches above our heads. The divine beings know that deep down you are a good person. You used to be supportive of me cultivating in Falun Dafa. The evil CCP turned you into an irrational person. Master is here to offer salvation to all of humankind. You’re one of them.”

He shouted, “Who needs to be saved by you? You’re against the Party. I’m not listening to your nonsense.” I said, “If you don’t want to be saved by Dafa then nobody can save you. If you fall into a deep well and can’t get out, you ignore the rope I throw to you, and you tell me you don’t need me to save you, what do you think is going to happen? You can decide for yourself. I really hope you will listen, and find out for yourself what Falun Dafa is, and why the CCP is persecuting Falun Gong.”

He didn’t say anything so I continued, “You’re already in your 60’s. Cursing is so improper.” He said, “What is proper? It is going to kill me if I don’t let it out. I feel better only if I curse.” I told him, “It is not actually you who is cursing—it is the evil spirit of the CCP that controls you and makes you do it.”

He was stunned, “What did you say?” I asked him, “Have you ever seen a Party official who doesn’t curse?” He said, “You might be right about this. If I don’t curse, something really bothers me, especially when I see you or any other Falun Gong practitioners. How do I stop cursing?” I said, “Well, you need to eliminate the evil spirit of the CCP in another dimension that controls you.” “But how?” I said, “I know a way. Give it a try if you truly want to change from the bottom of your heart. Master will help you to eliminate the possessing evil spirit.” He agreed, “Okay. What do I do?”

I said, “Master is compassionate. You just need to make a solemn statement like this, ‘Master, I was wrong. I will not curse Master or any practitioners any longer. I will not make such mistakes again. Whatever I’ve said or done in the past that was hostile and disrespectful toward Dafa and Master are invalid. I will make up for whatever losses I’ve caused. I’ll repay Master’s compassion with action. Master, please help me.”

My husband wrote it down as I spoke, and he signed his name at the bottom and dated it. He looked at me and said, “My heart is filled with light. I will not curse again.” Tears ran down my face, knowing that this being was finally saved. His expression softened and was no longer sneering at me. His complexion became healthy and his voice calm. He was all smiles and seemed happy. His entire demeanor changed before my eyes. It was incredible.

My husband has been a completely different person since that day. He hasn’t cursed even once, and is now supportive of my practice. When he cooks or buys fruit from the market, he offers some to Master’s picture before we eat. The changes in him are a testimony to how extraordinary Dafa is, and Master’s endless compassion.

The Story of Ms. Peng

Ms. Peng (pseudonym) and her husband are both members of the CCP. I helped them quit the Party more than ten years ago. However, she came to my door a few years later and told me about her colleague, who was also a Dafa practitioner. She said the colleague was arrested for talking to people about Dafa, was sentenced to prison, and fired by the company.

She said, “The CCP gave you a job and pays you a salary, yet you are against the Party. You’re all liars, evil, and haters.” She told me she no longer wanted to quit the CCP, and neither did her husband. They wanted to be members of the Party. She wouldn’t listen to anything I tried to say and attacked Dafa practitioners while repeating the CCP’s lies. She said some really awful things. Other practitioners later tried to help her see the truth, but eventually gave up on her.

Ms. Peng contracted the coronavirus in April 2020 and became very sick. She was bedridden and trapped at home during the lockdown. When I heard people talking about her, saying she deserved it and it was karmic retribution for being hostile toward Dafa, I felt sad for her, but was still hopeful that she could change. I paid her a visit, and sure enough she was very sick. Her face looked grayish and sickly. She had lost a lot of weight, and was very weak. She couldn’t talk or get out of bed.

She was in despair and told me that her days were numbered. She asked me, “Why are you here?” “I heard that you were sick and wanted to come see you,” I said. “I know how you feel about Dafa. But if you change your mind, you will get another chance. Master will save you.” She was skeptical, “Are you sure?” I nodded, “If you sincerely believe in Dafa and believe that ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ it will work.” I asked her, “How about I teach you these phrases so you can recite them?” She looked away, “I’m scared. I don’t want to recite the phrases.”

I said to her, “The evil beings controlling you know they are going to be eliminated. They are the ones who are scared. Just recite the phrases loudly and Master will take care of it. It is a matter of life and death. Master arranged for me to visit you and tell you all this because he knows that you’re a kind person deep down. But, you have to decide whether you want to be saved or not. If you truly believe Dafa is good, Master will save you.”

My words really touched her. With tears in her eyes, she said, “You’re really here to help me.” I said, “Yes, I am. Remember how healthy you were after you separated yourself from the CCP ten years ago? Now you can’t get out of bed. So, you have money, can you spend it? What use is it? The smart ones have all renounced the CCP. The high ranking Party officials quit after they went overseas. Now the plague is here to filter out evil beings and bad people. What are you going to do? Stay away from the evil CCP. Don’t side with it because the red devil is behind it. It acts like a scoundrel on the surface and does all kinds of evil. The heavens are bound to eliminate it. All who side with it will be eliminated together with it. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”

I recited Master’s poem “Rationality” from The Essentials of Diligent Progress II for her. She seemed shocked, “Okay. Okay. What do I do now?” I said, “This time, sincerely renounce the evil CCP and make a solemn statement apologizing to Master. Don’t change your mind again this time.” She said, “Okay. I will not change my mind again.”

I wrote a draft stating that all she had said and done that was disrespectful to Dafa and Master were invalid. I also put in the draft that she knows Falun Dafa is good and will not change her mind about this declaration. She was going to make up for the harm she had done and will not slander Dafa again. She signed her name and dated it before giving it to her husband to also sign it. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

In a matter of minutes, her complexion became fair and rosy. She even looked prettier. I asked her, “How do you feel right now?” She said, “When I signed my name on the statement, I could feel that my heart lit up. I am not scared or anxious anymore.” I said, “This is all because you genuinely want to change your ways. That is how extraordinary Dafa is—Master can do anything.” She said, “Dafa is incredible. It works faster than taking medicine. This is amazing.”

I was so happy for her from the bottom of my heart. Tears rolled down my cheeks and I couldn’t describe my gratitude to Master. I left the couple some truth-clarification booklets and Dafa amulets so they can learn more about the practice and the truth behind the persecution.

She completely recovered in the following week. She is still healthy as can be two years later.

The Story of Ms. Ni

Ms. Ni, our grandchild’s kindergarten teacher held a parent-teacher conference in the fall of 2015, and announced that she was leaving her job. Her father had fallen and was in a coma. As the only daughter, she planned to move back to her hometown to take care of her father. “I hope you understand, and I wish you and your children the best of luck,” she said.

My thought was, “Once she moves away, I won’t have the opportunity to clarify the truth to her. I have to save her.” Not caring that many parents were still around, I went up to Ms. Ni after the meeting and said, “I am so sad that you’re leaving. You’re a great teacher. I hope you and your father can sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Master will help you and your father. I wish him a swift recovery.”

I gave her a couple truth-clarification booklets and a Dafa amulet and asked her whether she’d like to quit the CCP and its youth organizations. She readily agreed, “Okay. Thanks Auntie. You’re such a warm and caring person.” She burst into tears as she spoke. I told her, “Thank Master. Master is thinking of every sentient being.”

As we were talking, a grandma came out from behind me and tried to snatch the truth-clarification booklets from Ms. Ni. Ms. Ni quickly turned sideways and dodged her. As Ms. Ni walked away, I told her, “Your parents raised you, not the Party. Saving your father is the most important.”

The grandma was infuriated, “The Party pays your salary, yet you turn people against the Party. You’re a counter-revolutionist.” She slapped many labels on me and called me names. I couldn’t get a word in, so I quietly recited the Fa-rectification formula. She suddenly lost the ability to talk and left in a hurry.

Other parents later told me that this grandma had badmouthed me behind my back, but I didn’t care. I stayed focused and helped most of the parents in the class quit the CCP and its youth organizations. I know that Master helped me resolve a big tribulation.

I later found out that this grandma had mental issues. She complained to everyone that her grandson was naughty. She told others that he hit people, cursed at her, and was uncontrollable. This seemed to affect her psychologically, and when it affected her on a deeper level, she even became suicidal. When she interacted with people, she avoided making eye contact, as if she was scared.

I ran into her a few months after the parent-teacher conference. I greeted her, “How are you?” She said, “How could I possibly be good? Nothing goes my way.” She started counting the naughty things her grandson had done and said that life was meaningless. I told her, “There is something that can help you. But it all depends on whether you can really change or not.” She said, “I can change. I really do want to change. Please help me.”

She seemed sincere, so I said to her, “The best way to turn your life around is to admit your past mistakes. Would you make a solemn statement apologizing to the divinities and to the Master of Falun Dafa and change from the bottom of your heart? Master will help you if you sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Divine beings only look at a person’s heart.”

I asked her, “How about I tell you what to say and you just repeat after me. If it sounds good to you, write it down and sign your name. Would that work for you?” She nodded, “Yes. Yes, it would work. It works for me.” So I taught her to say, “I am sorry, Master. I was wrong. I will not interfere with Dafa practitioners clarifying the truth any longer. I will not say anything negative about Dafa and will be supportive of Dafa practitioners. I declare that all the disrespectful things I’ve done toward Dafa are no longer valid. I will make up for the harm I’ve caused, and I will stick to these words. I agree to quit the evil CCP and its youth organizations.”

After we were done, I asked her, “How are you feeling now?” She said, “It really worked. My heart feels light and bright. I am no longer worried.” She no longer looked scared at that moment. She had a beautiful glow to her and was even smiling at me. I told her, “Dafa is extraordinary. It works right away when you believe in it.”

Now, this grandma often gets truth-clarification booklets and Dafa calendars from me to give to others. She told me Master is always watching over her.
