Three Generations Discover Hope in Falun Dafa

(Minghui.org) My family members have practiced Falun Dafa for more than 20 years. Dafa changed the fate of three generations of my family and gives us hope. 

Eldest Brother Saved from Despair 

I have three siblings. My eldest brother suffered from ankylosing spondylitis at the age of 22. Every time when the unbearable pain attacked, he would perspire and it often took him more than an hour just to get up. He sought medical treatment everywhere and took various medicines. He even tried practicing qigong, but nothing worked. Years of illness made my eldest brother feel desperate. He often stared in silence at the sky. 

When a practitioner introduced Dafa to my brother in 1995, he didn’t accept it. A year later another practitioner gave him some Dafa books and this time he took them. He resonated with the principles discussed in the books and became a Dafa practitioner.

Gradually, color returned to his pale face and his illness symptoms disappeared. He regained his health fully and became energetic. His miraculous recovery convinced more members in our family to take up Dafa as well.

Elderly Mother Blessed

My mother was 50 when our father died. She continued to raise the four of us alone. Due to the poor health of my eldest brother and youngest sister, my mother became physically and mentally exhausted and lost hope in life. 

After my eldest brother recovered from his illness, he introduced Falun Dafa to my mother. She was reluctant to try it at first, but after my brother read Dafa books to her, she changed her mind.

My mother was going to Beijing to appeal for Dafa in 1999 when she was arrested. She said to the police, “Falun Dafa is the fundamental way of the universe, and I will practice it to the end!” Under the protection of Master, the police let her go.

Over the years, my mother has been practicing diligently. She lives by Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. She is an octogenarian now but looks much younger, as if she is in her 60s. She is healthy,energetic, and able to do things quickly.

100-year-old Grandma Has Been Healthy Since Learning Dafa

My grandma has the demeanor a traditional woman. She is kindhearted and has never beaten or scolded any of her children.

My grandma was 75 when she started practicing Dafa. Her menstrual period returned. Even though she had her feet bound, she no longer felt tired after a long walk. Neighbors were impressed by her changes.

One early morning while my grandma was still sleeping, her soul left her body and kept walking away farther and farther. A man stopped her and told her it was time to go back. Then my grandma woke up. She was in her 80s at that time. 

My grandma celebrated her 100-year birthday this year. She can still hear and see things clearly. 

Sister-in-law Prompted to Take Up Dafa to Avoid Doing the Dishes

The cultivation story of my elder sister-in-law was most interesting. One day, she was washing the dishes alone while we were all doing the exercises. She was not happy with that. She said, “You all do the exercises and I am left to clean the dishes alone. So I will practice, too!”

This is how my elder sister-in-law became a Dafa practitioner.

My Stories

I suffered with headaches since I was a child. The headache would become severe as soon as I started to study. I tried various treatments to no avail. At 22, I had hydronephrosis due to kidney stones and became very weak. I also suffered from arthritis, strep throat, and gynecological diseases. I had a hard lump below my breast and the doctor could not treat me. 

I started practicing Falun Dafa a few months after my child's birth in the summer of 1997. That winter, while in the bath, I was surprised to find that the hard lump was gone.

One day in the spring of 1998, I suddenly felt like I had a bad cold. All my bones ached, and the unbearable pain made me cry. I knew that Master was eliminating my karma and I had to endure a little bit of pain. After that, all my diseases disappeared.

To stay safe, I lived away from home after the persecution started. During that time, I rented a house; it had a well in the backyard. An old couple next door were overome with grief every day over their daughter's suicide. I comforted them the best I could and offered to help them any way I could. To thank me, the wife asked her husband to fetch water for me. I told them that I could drink water from the well in my yard. They said that water was salty. Three days later, I felt sickly and said, “God has his own way. I will drink my well water if that is what God has planned for me.”

Amazingly, my well water turned fresh after that day. I realized that this miracle was brought by Dafa. I fetched the water and gave it to my neighbors to try. They were amazed by how fresh the water tasted. The miraculous story then spread and many villagers, including my landlord, asked if they could get water from the well. I took this opportunity to tell them the facts about Falun Dafa. Seeing the miracle, many of them became practitioners.
