Staying Safe by Keeping in Mind Falun Dafa Phrases

(Minghui.org) Another wave of COVID suddenly hit my city in late December 2022. There was no warning and nearly everyone was infected. Because of that, few people stepped outside. Even the sky looked grayish and sad.

My Family

My grandson came home from school one day, coughing with a low fever. I asked him to recite with me the auspicious phrases "fa lun da fa hao (Falun Dafa is good)” and “zhen shan ren hao (Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good),” and he agreed. Two days later, he no longer coughed that much and his fever was gone. After another two days of sore throat, he fully recovered.

Then my daughter started running a low fever. In the past I had already explained to her what Falun Dafa is and why the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecuted traditional values like Falun Dafa. She agreed that those who supported Falun Dafa in the harsh persecution would be blessed. So as soon as she felt uncomfortable this time, she began to recite the auspicious phrases mentioned above. After a few days, she fully recovered and could go out as usual.

My son has always supported my practice of Falun Dafa and respects Master Li (founder of Falun Dafa). Almost every one of the over 200 employees in his company got infected except for him and a few other coworkers. By reciting the auspicious phrases, he remained healthy all along the way and worked normally without taking any time off or needing any medication. His supervisors were amazed.

My granddaughter works in another city and she was the only employee with perfect attendance during the recent surge of positive cases. She often told me that she is very thankful for what Falun Dafa has brought to society. “There were two days when I did not feel comfortable,” she said to me, “but I recited the phrases you told me and things were fine.”

One evening, I was aching all over with a cold sweat. As a Falun Dafa practitioner, I realized this was a hint for me to do better aligning with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Through looking within, I found that I still had fear of becoming ill and suffering hardships. I sent forth righteous thoughts to negate my fear since I knew it was not my true self. With faith in Falun Dafa and Master, I was determined to eradicate my attachments, including showing-off, jealousy, and resentment. Two hours later, the pain vanished.

Another time, I went to visit a practitioner and suddenly had severe chest pain at her home. I rushed back home. I started having a cold sweat all over the moment I stepped inside my home. I immediately went to my room. My daughter saw me and she was frightened, “Mom, what’s going on? Your lips are very pale.”

“Please do not worry about me. I will be just fine by reciting the auspicious phrases,” I replied. As soon as I finished saying that sentence, all my symptoms were gone and my lips turned back to pink.

“Wow! I did not expect it would be this fast,” my daughter exclaimed, “Falun Dafa is indeed great!”

Clarifying the Facts

Like many other Falun Dafa practitioners, I have been exposing the persecution of Falun Dafa and sharing the goodness of Dafa with people for years. But the new wave of COVID kept people at home and it was difficult to find people to talk to.

I continued studying the Falun Dafa teachings and asked Master for help. I went out and saw two people, but both of them walked very fast (probably to avoid interactions with anyone). I did not see anyone on the street the following day either.

On the third day I went to a supermarket where there was only one female customer and a male employee. I chatted with the customer, who was buying food and fruits for her family. I mentioned how the CCP had been deceiving people, including about the pandemic. She felt the same way and agreed to quit the CCP’s two junior organizations (Youth League and Young Pioneer) she joined when she was young. She said she’d also keep in mind the auspicious phrases. After she thanked me and left, the male employee also quit the two junior organizations without hesitation.

I kept going out every day and was always able to find some people to talk to. They were receptive to what I said about how to stay safe in the pandemic. Many of them, including two young women I saw at a bus stop outside a hospital, agreed to quit the CCP and its two junior organizations and keep in mind the auspicious phrases.

But not everyone was so receptive and someone simply told me to go away. Wei, a CCP member in his 70s, lives on the first floor of my apartment building. His daughter Fen is also a CCP member, but neither of them agreed to quit the CCP, even though some other practitioners and I had clarified the truth to them many times. Since I had not seen them for a while during this wave of the pandemic, I went to visit them with some food.

After Fen opened the door, I saw Wei leaning over a table coughing. I could tell he was in a lot of pain. On the table was a portrait of his parents, who had died many years ago. I again urged him to quit the CCP, but he refused to listen and shook his head. Fen remained silent no matter what I said. I felt bad for being unable to see through the CCP’s evil nature and help them out of danger.

Looking back, I was like Wei and Fen many years ago and believed whatever the CCP said. My perspective changed after I began to practice Falun Dafa in March 1996. Dafa enabled me to gain a new understanding of life, history, and many other things I had been confused about. The persecution of Falun Dafa never shook my faith in Dafa and I came to a better understanding of Dafa’s power in uplifting morality in a chaotic society. I am grateful to Falun Dafa for giving me, a 77-year-old woman, good health. More importantly, I want to thank Master Li for guiding practitioners with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, which makes this world a better place.
