Sisters Become Kinder and More Optimistic



Ms. Sun, who lives in Montreal, said that she first encountered Falun Dafa after her mother began practicing it in 1996. At that time, in their village, someone with terminal stomach cancer had recovered by practicing Falun Dafa. The news spread, and many people began to practice.

Before that, Ms. Sun’s mother was dependent on medications. She was often depressed and angry. After she started practicing Falun Dafa, she became a different person, healthy and optimistic. Seeing the great changes in her mother, Ms. Sun witnessed how extraordinary Falun Dafa was. But she lived in a boarding school during high school and only came home once a month, so she was unable to start cultivating herself even though it was a heartfelt desire.

After she was diagnosed with high blood pressure, she decided to practice Falun Dafa in 2022. Since then, her body and mind have totally transformed.

Ms. Sun was frail as a child and then had high blood pressure. She was often tired and could do little housework. She had to rest all the time. Six months after she started practicing Falun Dafa, she regained her health. Today, she is full of energy. She takes care of her job and the household chores, and also devotes time to clarifying the truth. Even when she is busy around the clock, she does not feel tired.

She used to be domineering at home and was easily angered when something didn’t go her way. She has become more patient with her husband and children, and they’ve noticed how she’s changed. One day when her eldest son was helping his little brother with his homework, he said to him, “If you’d gotten a grade like that in the past, Mom would have yelled at you.” Ms. Sun said that, by following Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, she now can be considerate in the face of conflicts. Also, one should see the other peron’s strengths and understand that everyone has their own path in life. As soon as she thinks about this, her heart calms down.

Sisters become kinder and more optimistic after practicing Dafa.

Her younger sister, Mina, grew up practicing with their mother. She said Dafa is wonderful. When she went to college, out of negligence, she stopped reading the Dafa teachings. Upon entering the workforce, she encountered the dark side of society. In this big “dye vat,” she felt powerless, becoming more and more negative and irritable. Six years ago, she remembered Master Li’s words that cultivation in Dafa is a pure land, so she picked up the Falun Dafa books again and returned to cultivation.

Since returning to the practice, Mina has become the joyful and radiant girl she used to be. She has also noticed that, with the change in her state of mind, more kind people and things have appeared around her.

Ms. Sun said, “I thank Master for never abandoning me all these years and for always protecting me. Thanks to Dafa, I have understood the meaning of life. I will continue to cultivate diligently and fulfill my vow to return home with Master. As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, I wish Master a happy holiday.”

Mina added, “Thank you, Master, for giving me direction in life and helping me understand the true meaning of life. I will follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance to be a good person, elevate myself in cultivation, and convey the beauty of Dafa to others. I wish Master a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!”

A Family Follows Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance

Joël from Quebec City, a dedicated Falun Dafa practitioner for 17 years, participated in this activity to thank Master Li for helping him to become a better person.

Joël said, “Falun Dafa is a spiritual practice that teaches me better moral standards and guides my daily life, especially when I am not sure what to do or what decision to make.

“Being honest, authentic, and tolerant provides me with a path that makes me feel very secure. In my opinion, it contributes positively to society by eliminating my ego and making me considerate. Falun Dafa gives me harmony and inner peace.”

Stéphanie from Quebec City has also been a dedicated Falun Dafa practitioner for 15 years. “Practicing Falun Dafa has helped me find balance and stop blaming others. It also freed me from all kinds of minor infections, nightmares, and everyday stress.” She thanks Master Li for passing on this practice, which has enabled her to live a much better life.

Two years after they met, Stéphanie and Joël married. As a family, they follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Stephanie said, “We help our children apply these principles in their daily lives, with their friends, and in situations that arise between siblings.”
