(Minghui.org) I suddenly had extreme pain in my right side one day in the spring of 2021. It was impossible to stand up straight or squat down. When I needed to use the bathroom, I had to hold on to the wall and take small steps. In over twenty years of cultivation, I had never experienced anything like this.
Alarmed, I immediately searched within myself for the root of the problem. I realized that I strongly disapproved of my daughter. I did not even want her to go to the market with me. I thought she was fat and worthless, and I nagged at her endlessly for things she was not. I was unhappy that she did not turn out to be a good looking young lady with a nice job. My daughter is, however, an obedient, traditional girl, who does not talk back.
As soon as I realized this, my opinion of her changed. Some children have disabilities and look worse than my daughter, but their parents still love them. My daughter is well behaved and kind. If I truly dislike my daughter, isn’t this an issue with my xinxing? It took me five days to discover the problem. Once I got it right, my physical discomfort disappeared. It was amazing!
My father suffered a stroke in 2017, during the sensitive dates before the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) held its 19th National Congress. On our way to visit my father, my husband and I were stopped at one of the checkpoints. Police found some Falun Dafa pamphlets in our car and arrested us.
A police officer at the police station asked, “Do you know why we caught you?” I replied, “(It is) because I did not study the Fa and do the exercises. I was too busy making money.”
In the detention center, the head inmate asked me, “What did you do to get yourself in here?” “I practice Falun Dafa.” I replied.
The first week, the head inmate left me alone when I talked about Falun Dafa, and cursed at me when I did not. Whenever I had a good chat with other inmates about Falun Dafa, the head inmate called me over and gave me a snack to eat.
A few days later, I was moved to another room. The head inmate there asked me the same question, “What did you do to get yourself in here?” “I practice Falun Dafa,” I answered. Upon hearing this, one inmate close by sat crossed legged and shouted, “Falun Dafa is good!” This woman had been waiting for a court decision for two years. She was released a few days later.
Her release shocked me. Dafa has such great power!
Another inmate refused to listen to the truth about Falun Dafa. She was sentenced for a minor offense. Different attitudes towards Dafa definitely lead to different consequences.
I’ve stumbled and fallen on my cultivation journey. With Master’s help, I got up and kept on going. Thank you Master!
