(Minghui.org) In 1998, I began my journey as a Falun Dafa practitioner. Now, at 55, I reflect on the countless times Master’s compassionate protection has guided my husband and me as we strive to help others. Along the way, we've encountered many miraculous events that have deeply touched our lives. I’d like to share some of these extraordinary experiences, particularly how my family members were transformed by sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual discipline for mind and body that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999. Despite the persecution, the practice has brought countless blessings to my family.
My father-in-law, an 86-year-old retired teacher, is a man who enjoys life’s simple pleasures, like playing mahjong. Despite his atheistic upbringing under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), he never opposed my husband and me practicing Falun Dafa. In fact, he had even quit the CCP organizations long ago.
For years, he struggled with shoulder pain and a severely herniated lumbar disc. He tried everything—electrotherapy, acupuncture, and a mix of Chinese and Western medicines—but nothing worked. His condition only worsened, leaving him in constant pain. Time and again, I encouraged him, “Dad, if you sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ you’ll feel better.” He would smile politely but never took my words to heart.
But in 2014, things changed. His condition got so bad that he could no longer enjoy his beloved game of mahjong. One day, out of the blue, he approached me and asked, “What were those phrases you mentioned?”
I was surprised. My father-in-law, a man with a sharp mind, could have remembered the phrases after hearing them just once, yet he had never taken it seriously—thanks to years of atheistic indoctrination. But now, in desperation, he was ready to give it a try. I quickly reminded him, “It’s ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’”
Three days later, my husband and I visited him. As soon as we stepped into the house, we found him humming a tune, bustling about as he tidied up. I knew immediately that something had changed. Seeing us, he beamed and exclaimed, “This Dafa is truly amazing! Your Master is truly divine! Last night, after dinner, I sat on the bed and said, ‘Master of Dafa, my son and daughter-in-law practice Falun Gong, and I know Dafa is good. Please help me.’ Then I started reciting, ‘Master of Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is good!’ Before long, I fell asleep. In the middle of the night, when I got up to go to the bathroom, I realized my back pain was completely gone! Not a trace of it remained!”
To prove it, he squatted down and stood up again, his face glowing with joy. This time, he truly believed.
During the pandemic, when we were all locked down at home, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law both contracted the virus. My father-in-law lived with them, and we were deeply concerned for his health. My husband called him to check in, asking, “Dad, how are you doing?”
We were met with a loud, confident voice on the other end: “I’m doing great! I’m constantly reciting the two phrases. With Master’s protection, I’m perfectly fine. Don’t worry about me. I’m the one taking care of them because they can’t even move!” My husband and I couldn’t help but laugh with relief.
June 2023 was just another day for my father-in-law, who, as usual, went out to play mahjong. On his way, he encountered a small slope in the neighborhood where a landscaping bulldozer was at work. The bulldozer’s front and rear looked similar, and he couldn’t tell them apart. Without realizing the danger, he walked directly into the machine’s path.
The driver shouted for him to move, but at 86, my father-in-law wasn’t quick enough. He was struck by the bulldozer, which pushed him down the slope. At the bottom was a large truck, which the bulldozer also pushed several meters before it finally stopped. The driver was terrified, certain that a tragedy had occurred.
My sister-in-law, who happened to be looking out the window, saw the accident unfold. She called my brother-in-law and rushed to the scene. By the time they arrived, a crowd had gathered, murmuring that the old man was surely done for and the driver was in serious trouble.
But when my brother-in-law peered into the bulldozer, he was stunned to hear my father-in-law’s voice, calm and steady: “Pull me out quickly!” The crowd gasped in disbelief. “How is this possible? The old man is okay?”
Slowly, my brother-in-law helped him out of the bulldozer. By then, an ambulance and the traffic police had arrived, and they took him to the hospital. Astonishingly, he was completely unharmed.
This miraculous escape defied all logic. It wasn’t just a stroke of luck; it was the power of sincere faith. My father-in-law had often recited “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and it was this unwavering belief that protected him. As he often says, “Sincerely reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ is more effective than a magical elixir!”
My brother-in-law and sister-in-law also understand the truth about Falun Dafa. They know it is good and recognize that the CCP is evil. They, too, quit the Party organizations and never opposed our practice. But during the CCP’s “Zero-Out” campaign in 2020, which disrupted my business, my brother-in-law began to voice his frustrations. “Why are you two so stubborn? Is it really that hard to lower your head a little?” he would often say.
After the lockdowns were lifted, they both contracted COVID for a second time and this time it hit them hard. It took them more than two weeks to recover.
On December 31, 2022, my brother-in-law came down with a high fever after simply washing his hair. He coughed, struggled to breathe, and felt as though his organs were tearing apart. My sister-in-law rushed him to the hospital in the middle of the night, but the overcrowded facility could not accommodate them. They returned home with only some medication, but his condition worsened. He was gasping for air, fearing that he might die at any moment.
In his desperation, he remembered what my husband and I had told him: “Sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and you’ll be protected from the plague.” He began to recite the phrases. As he said them a second time, he saw a lotus-like plate beaming light at him. He nudged my sister-in-law and shouted, “Look! There’s a big round plate beaming light at us!” She thought he was dreaming, but he insisted, “I’m not asleep.”
The next morning, my brother-in-law woke up completely fine.
A few days later, on January 3, 2023, my husband and I visited my father-in-law. As soon as we arrived, my sister-in-law shared the story: “Your brother-in-law was on the brink of death, but after reciting those phrases twice, a big lotus-like round plate beamed light at him, and by the next morning, he was completely recovered! Your Falun Gong is amazing!”
I explained, “It’s because he sincerely recited the phrases that Master protected him.”
When my brother-in-law heard us, he ran out of his room, beaming with joy. Despite being in his 50s, he was as excited as a child, jumping up and down between us. “Little Brother, I’m really better! Falun Gong is truly miraculous! Your Master is divine! Now I genuinely believe that sincerely reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ is indeed a magical elixir. Not only do I recite those phrases, but I’ve also added another sentence: ‘If Falun Dafa isn’t good, what else is?’”
These are just a few examples of the countless miracles that can happen when one sincerely believes in the power of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa is the Great Law of the universe, and Dafa disciples are working to save people in times of great danger. By sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” you too can be protected by Heaven and find peace amidst tribulation.
