(Minghui.org) After I read Master’s new article “A Wake-Up Call,” I decided to memorize it. However, after an entire day, I couldn’t remember the first sentence:

“Compassion is expressed in this world through love and kindness, and these are qualities that those who practice Dafa should always radiate from within.” (“A Wake-Up Call”)

I didn’t expect memorizing five paragraphs would be so difficult, so I felt discouraged. I looked inward and realized that what blocked me stemmed from my lack of tolerance and compassion. This made me deeply aware of the seriousness of cultivation, and I strengthened my determination to memorize this article. After a week, I memorized the entire article.

The Fa I memorized guided my cultivation. For example, my father-in-law contracted COVID-19 and was admitted to the ICU for treatment, which resulted in enormous medical bills. My family and my sister-in-law’s family each contributed 200,000 yuan, but it wasn’t enough to cover the costs. Overwhelmed by the burden, my sister-in-law suggested that we stop treatment, saying, “It would be better for father to pass away than to suffer.” She refused to pay for any more medical expenses.

My husband was extremely anxious—his father’s life was in danger, but we had little money left. I couldn’t help blaming my sister-in-law. I thought, “Even I, as a daughter-in-law, am actively supporting his treatment, yet you, as his daughter, refuse to help. How could you be so cold hearted?” I resented her.

I reminded myself that as a Dafa practitioner, I shouldn’t harbor resentment. Instead, I needed to be tolerant—she thought differently than we did. I had to follow Master’s guidance and cultivate a compassionate heart. So, I comforted my husband, saying, “It’s okay. We will cover all the expenses.”

Another incident involved my upstairs neighbors who often made loud noises in the middle of the night, which disrupted our sleep. One night, just as I was falling asleep, there was a loud noise upstairs that sounded like a heavy object hitting the floor. It continued for several minutes, making it impossible for me to sleep. Frustrated, I thought to myself, “If this happens again, I will knock on their door and complain.”

At that moment, Master’s words surfaced in my mind, and I reminded myself that my neighbors probably weren’t being intentionally noisy. I shouldn’t be upset. Instead, I should thank them for helping me improve my xinxing. Miraculously, the noise stopped as soon as I had that thought.

Through memorizing the Fa, I felt a significant improvement in my xinxing. My compassion surfaced, and I gained a clearer understanding of how to cultivate myself.
