(Minghui.org) Our neighbor, Mr. Liang, took a fall one night and was taken to the hospital. He was found to have suffered a serious brain stem stroke. He was paralyzed from the neck down, retaining only movement of his eyes. He could not eat, so the hospital placed a nasogastric tube for feeding.
When I went to visit Mr. Liang, his mind was clear but he could not move. His family took turns repositioning him in bed to avoid bedsores. Mr. Liang was in his 80s, and I hated to see him suffer like this. I knew that I should tell him about the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and how people receive blessings after reciting them.
At the time, we were experiencing the most serious period of suppression of Falun Dafa by the communist regime. The lies spread by the regime deceived many people in the country. The Liang family was no exception.
Mr. Liang is a retired teacher, and we previously had a deep and close relationship. But after the persecution started, his family went out of their way to avoid me, and I never had a chance to clarify the facts about Falun Dafa to them. In order to talk to Mr. Liang, I had to wait until their children went to work and only him and his wife were at home. I brought him a box of milk, and his wife went to prepare tea for me.
As soon as Mr. Liang saw me, he blinked. I immediately told him the wonders of Dafa and how others overcame severe illnesses and survived fatal accidents by reciting “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
When his wife returned with the tea, I seized the moment and told them more. I said Falun Dafa is a high-level discipline for spiritual elevation and that humanity had come to the end of the cosmic cycle of generation, stasis, degeneration, and destruction. I said immoral people would face elimination, while good, kind people would escape the calamity. Those who acknowledge and appreciate Dafa would be blessed, I said.
I told Mr. Liang, “Although Dafa is not used for curing illness, one’s body will be purified if one practices Dafa. You are an intelligent and wise person. You might want to give it a try. And if you just recite ‘Falun Dafa is good’ and ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ you might be blessed.” He blinked twice and seemed to understand me.
I went to visit Mr. Liang two days later. As soon as I stepped inside his home, he waved to me and shouted, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” His voice was clear and strong. His wife told me that he recited the phrases all the time except while eating and sleeping. She was so encouraged to see his improvement that she reminded him to recite it as well. “It’s like both of us are saying it,” she said. I was deeply touched by the wonder of Dafa!
