I Am Grateful to Master for Taking Care of His Disciples and Their Families

(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1995 and am now in my 60s. Prior to cultivating Dafa, I was very competitive. Even though I didn’t argue with others on the surface, I sulked and resented them.

After I got married, my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law often plotted against me. Because of all that resentment, I developed many health problems, such as arthritis, heart failure, frequent dysmenorrhea, abdominal sarcoma (a type of cancer), and straightening of the cervical vertebrae. I couldn’t get up on my own and relied on others to take care of me. I even thought about committing suicide because of my poor health.

Practicing Falun Dafa Helped Me Let Go of Resentment

When my mother celebrated her birthday in September 1995, I took my son with me to help her celebrate. At that time, my mother had just begun to practice Falun Dafa. As I chatted with my mother and sisters about things that happened in the past, my mother listened and then replied, “These things happened because you owed these people from before.”

I said, “I was always the one who suffered. They were obviously bad and wrong, so how could I owe them?” I wanted to hear words of comfort from my mother, but she attributed these things to the fact that I owed others based on what I did in the past. I was very unhappy and went home after dinner.

At the entrance to our residential area, there was a children’s bookstore. I went inside and asked an employee, “Do you have a Falun Dafa book called Zhuan Falun?” He replied, “Yes, here is the very last copy.”

At home, as soon as I opened the book Zhuan Falun, I couldn’t put it down. Many questions in my life that I had wanted answers to were resolved.

It took me 24 hours to read all of Zhuan Falun. My mood seemed to change all of a sudden, I became a different person, and my view of the world also changed. I understood that I was being schemed against because I had done bad things, bullied others, and hurt others in the past. I was paying off the karmic debts I’d incurred!

I let go of my grudges and began to feel calm. I also recovered from all my ailments. I introduced Falun Dafa to my entire in-laws’ family. Later, my parents-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and her husband all began to cultivate in Dafa.

Going to Beijing to Validate Dafa

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to officially persecute Dafa in July 1999. I went to Beijing to defend Dafa. I had never been out of the city where I lived since I was a child. Because this was my first trip to Beijing, I got completely lost. We left late, and it was dark when we arrived in Beijing. Fellow practitioners and I found a small hotel, but at first they refused to let us stay because we did not have ID cards. It took us quite a bit of effort to persuade them, but they finally agreed to let us stay. Then, soon after, the receptionist got a phone call and changed his mind, saying that he would not let us stay no matter what. So we had no choice but to leave with our children.

On the way, we passed a store, and each of us bought a large winter coat. At that time, the roads to Beijing were heavily guarded, and people were pursuing practitioners everywhere, so we stayed in Xiangshan for one night. The next morning we saw a very high mountain at the entrance of Xiangshan Park. There were very high steps at the mountain gate, and I wondered how many steps there were. There was also a horizontal plaque on the gate at the top of the steps that read “Jie Yin Buddha.” Seeing such high steps, we said that, since we’d come this far, let’s go up and take a look. We were excited. As we walked up step by step with tears in our eyes, we felt the difficulty and hardship of Master saving his disciples.

Many years later when I mentioned this part of the trip to another practitioner, she said, “There is no such mountain there, nor a plaque that reads ‘Jie Yin Buddha!’ Master probably evolved it for you to encourage you, or perhaps you went to another dimension.” Only then did I come to enlighten that benevolent Master has been encouraging every one of his disciples.

Master Helped Me Escape Danger

The authorities tracked me down in 2004. When I got home, I heard someone pounding on the door. I knew it sounded strange, so I called my husband and told him to come right home. I tried to calm my mind to send forth righteous thoughts, but I couldn’t, so I asked Master for help. At that time, the thought “leave” came to my mind. My apartment was on a top floor. There were police officers at the door, and others below at the entrance to the building. How could I leave? I looked out of the window and tried to decide if I should climb out of the window. I went to a window of the building next door, tried to quickly explain the situation, and signaled the neighbor to open the window and let me in. He understood and opened the window. I briefly explained the situation to him and thanked him for doing a good deed. I said he would be blessed.

I quickly left his building. Since the community was U-shaped and there was only one exit, I had no choice but to go further into the community. At the end was a wall. I climbed up on a pile of debris and got over it. I saw I was in someone’s yard, but there was no one in the yard. I opened the gate and went out. A cab happened to be parked in front. The driver opened the door and said, “Hurry up and get in. Where are you going?”

After I got into his cab, tears came to my eyes. I thanked Master for saving his disciple one more time.

A police officer later asked me, “We blocked your door. How did you get away?” To protect the neighbor who opened his window for me, I told him, “It’s a secret.”

The Miracle of Finding Another Practitioner’s Home to Form One Body

A practitioner wanted to learn how to browse the Internet in 2009, so I went to his home to show him how. Time was tight, and I had to leave after finishing the task. Before I left, he said with tears in his eyes, “We will meet again.” At that time, we didn’t know how to securely contact each other through email. Since the persecution began, he and his wife had been cultivating alone. Thus, he was very eager to interact again with other practitioners. I also said to him, “We’ll meet again.”

A little more than a year, I recalled how he’d seen me off with tears in his eyes. Thus, I prepared some materials: Master’s new articles and the Minghui Weekly. Then I headed to his home. But when I got to his community, I forgot where his apartment was. I recalled that he was on the first floor and there was a small courtyard and green railings, but I couldn’t find it. I asked for Master’s help: “Master, please help me. Give me a hint as to where I should go.” With that thought, before I took ever a step, his courtyard appeared before my eyes. I was so excited. Thank you, Master, for protecting your disciples at all times!

When I knocked on his door, he opened it, saw me, and started to cry. He said, “I knew you’d come back.” His wife held Master’s new articles and Minghui Weekly in her arms and cried as well. We thanked Master for giving his disciples another chance to diligently cultivate together and follow Master to rectify the Fa.

Clarifying the Truth to My Classmates

One of my former classmates contacted me in 2019, after more than 40 years, and said, “I have been looking for you for a long time and finally got in touch with you. There are several other classmates who also want to see you.” I thought: “Master has arranged for me to save them.” We immediately decided to meet at a restaurant. I brought truth-clarification materials, sent righteous thoughts, and asked Master to strengthen me.

When I got there, everyone was already seated. That classmate then stood up and said to everyone, “She has brought everyone a gift today.” This helped to break the ice for me. I told them that heaven would eliminate the CCP and told them the basic facts about Falun Dafa. I also helped every one of them quit the CCP and its youth organizations. One classmate even asked me, “Will you come see me? I want you to talk to my spouse!”

My Sister-in-Law Returns to Cultivation

My sister-in-law began cultivating Dafa in 1994 and shared the Fa with her family. About a dozen of our family members began to practice. We have continued to cultivate, except for her. She stopped when the persecution began.

Master mentioned a “Great Final Judgment” in his lecture “Fa Teaching at the 2009 Greater New York International Fa Conference.” I said to her, “So many of our family members still cultivate Dafa. But you quit, and we can’t leave you behind. When we first came down to the world, we signed a pledge to Master, using our lives as a guarantee to help Master rectify the Fa. We also agreed among ourselves that we would awaken whoever was lost. You once awakened us all, but now you are lost. I must keep my promise to you and wake you up! My sister-in-law, please come back. Let’s go home with Master together.”

She said, “I know Dafa is good, and I support your brother.”

I said, “That’s not it. It’s not about if you know that, you’ll be fine. You are a Dafa practitioner in the Fa-rectification period. If you don’t do well, you’ll have to face the trial in the future.” She then agreed to return to cultivation. However, soon after, she was again living an ordinary life.

After Master published the article “Cultivation in Dafa Is Serious,” I went to see her and shared with her about it. The thought karma behind her still tried to drag her down, having her imply that she didn’t want to come back to cultivation. I said, “Nobody can block your path. As long as you want to cultivate, Master will take care of you. My sister-in-law, please come back. Please give me a chance to fulfill my promise to you?”

That time, her expression changed. She said, “I’ll come back to cultivate with all of you.” After she went home, she threw out all her medications. She then read one chapter of Zhuan Falun in the morning and another in the afternoon. Thank you, Master, for giving her an opportunity to be saved.

My In-Laws Have Been Saved

My son, who is now 40, has studied the Fa since he was a child. Even though he only practiced on and off, he understood Dafa’s principles. When he was in his 30s, he was busy every day and never at home. His salary was not enough to cover his expenses, and he constantly asked me for money. From the bits of conversations with him, I learned that he might be dating someone, but he never brought her home. I later learned from his classmates that his girlfriend was divorced and had a little girl who was seven or eight years old.

I was stunned. I was at a loss and couldn’t calm down for several days. I could not accept this. All my attachments flared up, and I could not understand the Fa I read. After a while, I was able to calm down and thought: “I am a practitioner. What am I doing? Isn’t this sentimentality? There must be something that I need to eliminate.” When I thought about the fact that the girlfriend’s daughter and I were not related, wasn’t my starting point based on the human side? I should snap out of that and view it from the Fa. Whether we are related or not, for us to meet came down to a predestined relationship. After I thought it over, I told my son, “Why don’t you bring them around? This relationship came about due to a good predestined relationship.”

I wanted to save my granddaughter. One day she came over and said, “Granny, I want to watch TV.” I replied, “Wait a moment, I want to play a video for you before you watch TV, okay?”

I played a video for her that told people about quitting the CCP and its youth organizations. After she watched it, she said, “Granny, I want to quit the Young Pioneers.” This life was saved!

Now, it is as if we are related. She spent this past Chinese New Year at her grandma’s home. On the eve of the Chinese New Year, she called me to wish me a happy Chinese New Year. She also told me, “Granny, I want to go to your home to celebrate the Chinese New Year!”

I said, “When you come here on the first day of the New Year, Grandma will give you a big red envelope!” She was happy and said, “Thank you, Granny!”

My son’s father-in-law is a Party member and was deeply poisoned by the CCP. When my son clarified the truth to him about Dafa, and he replied, “If you keep going on like that, I’ll have to sue you.”

When I heard this, I said to my daughter-in-law, “Can you arrange for me to meet your parents?” She said, “I don’t want you to meet because they’d argue with you.”

I said, “If they want to do that, we have to face it. But at least give us a chance to meet.”

She frowned and said, “OK.”

I understood that she was afraid that we would quarrel, and she would be in a difficult position. I said, “Don’t worry, I won’t take it to heart.”

When we met, their reaction was totally unexpected. As soon as I walked in the door, my son’s father-in-law said, “Why didn’t you come sooner? Please show me how to do the exercises.” I was stunned and didn’t know what to say. I clarified the truth to them and helped him quit the CCP. But as we were leaving, I noticed my son’s mother-in-law looking gloomy, and she refused to see us off.

After I got home, I mentioned it to a practitioner. She said she wanted to go with me to visit them. So I took a copy of Zhuan Falun and a video of Master teaching the exercises and we went. The mother-in-law’s face was as gloomy as the last time. We showed my son’s father-in-law how to do the exercises, and we studied one chapter of Zhuan Falun with him. As we talked with my son’s mother-in-law, we specifically targeted her misunderstandings of Dafa. In the end, she said, “Can I also have a copy of Zhuan Falun? This is a book that teaches people to be good. Please also help me quit as well.” Thus, both my in-laws were saved.

Thank you, Master, for taking care of your disciples and their families!
