A Belligerent Teenager Changes

(Minghui.org) Ms. Zhang is a good friend of mine. I clarified the truth to her whole family and helped them quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Xiaocai is Ms. Zhang’s grandson. He was a stubborn teenager with a bad temper. He didn’t like to study and just wanted to play games. From his third year of junior high school to his time in college, I often clarified the truth to him and his family. Due to Master’s care and the wisdom that Dafa bestowed upon him, both his moral character and his grades improved.

Xiaocai Passes the High School Entrance Exam

When Xiaocai was about to graduate from junior high school, Ms. Zhang said to me, “What should I do? Xiaocai’s school grades are just average. I am afraid that he will not be able to get into high school, and we are all worried.” Ms. Zhang also said that her sister had teased her, “You often say good things about Falun Dafa. If Falun Dafa can help Xiaocai get admitted to high school, I’ll believe that Falun Dafa is good.”

I told Ms. Zhang, “Your whole family should sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Then you will be blessed, and miracles will happen.” Ms. Zhang directed her family to recite the two phrases, and Xiaocai was indeed admitted to a public high school. Ms. Zhang was very happy and invited me to her sister’s home to clarify the truth about Dafa to her. I helped her sister quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

Dafa’s Teachings Calmed Xiaocai’s Temper

After Xiaocai entered high school, his parents arranged for him to be tutored so that he could keep up with his studies, but he didn’t want to go. Once at dinnertime, Xiaocai’s father slapped him in the face twice because he didn’t want to go to tutoring. Xiaocai left the table and ran away crying. The whole family, along with nearby relatives, searched for more than two hours but did not find him.

Crying herself, Ms. Zhang came to me for help. She said, “I’ve looked everywhere. I won’t want to live anymore if something bad happens to him. You are a Falun Dafa practitioner. Please ask Master Li to bless my grandson.” I comforted her so she wouldn’t cry and told her something that Master said,

“(in couplet form)The three words of Zhen, Shan, Renare sacred with boundless power divineAt just the sincere thought of, “Falun Dafa is good”all calamities will change” (“The Origin of All Wisdom,” Hong Yin IV)

I said, “If you believe that Dafa is good, just recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and your son will be fine. I will look for him with you.”

Xiaocai went to his grandmother’s that evening, so I went with Ms. Zhang to see him. Xiaocai had lost his temper and yelling, “My mother is not a good mother! She actually says that other people’s children are better than me. My dad isn’t a good dad, because he tore up my books. I don’t want to live anymore. I was just on the roof of a building and thought about jumping off. I really almost did!”

He was sobbing as he spoke and stabbed the tip of his pen into his arm. His grandmother tried to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen. He shouted and slammed his fist into the door frame. His family was so frightened that his grandfather didn’t dare say anything. Using Dafa’s principles and standards of traditional morality, I encouraged and tried to enlighten him until midnight. When I got home, I said to my husband, “That kid has a bad temper—I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s frightening.”

A few days later, Ms. Zhang brought Xiaocai to my house. I was shocked. Ms. Zhang told me privately, “The day after you left, he told me that the older lady [referring to me] yesterday was so kind! She is so good, I want to see her again.”

I didn’t want to see that boy again, but then I remembered that I was a Dafa disciple and Master told me to be kind to and considerate of others. So I told Xiaocai beautiful stories of Falun Dafa cultivation and shared examples of traditional Chinese virtues. He listened and went home happy.

A few days later, Ms. Zhang brought her daughter and grandson to my house again. This time Ms. Zhang asked my husband to tell Xiaocai about learning. My husband said that to learn effectively, one had to first set goals. Xiaocai’s face immediately changed, and he said, “Beginning in elementary school, teachers have always told me to set goals, and I’m tired of it. I’m leaving.” He rushed out and didn’t come back. Ms. Zhang was embarrassed and left, too. My husband said, “I now see how bad this kid’s temper is. I won’t talk to him again.” I was speechless, too.

Xiaocai’s Mother Changes

Soon after Xiaocai started high school, his teacher told his parents, “Xiaocai does not like to study. He sleeps in class and does poorly.” Xiaocai’s mother told him to study hard and focus in class, but Xiaocai didn’t listen. His mother was angry but didn’t know what to do.

Ms. Zhang asked me to come to her house again to encourage Xiaocai. I talked about the beauty of Dafa and asked him to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” and quit the Young Pioneers. He said he understood. I was afraid I would keep him from his homework and wanted to leave, but he didn’t want me to go and asked me to say more. His grandmother was in the living room with his parents, and they were very happy to hear it.

Two months later, Xiaocai’s mother came to me again, and this time she was angry. When I asked who she was angry with, she said, “My son. His teacher has called me several times. Xiaocai refuses to study, and I am so angry that I am distressed. He won’t study anymore and sleeps in class. After you talked to him last time, he was better, and his grades went up. But now he is like he was before.”

I advised her to deal with him with an attitude of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, to be kind to him, to have patience, to encourage him, to guide him correctly, to be a friend to him, and to not lose her temper. I said, “You can’t solve any problems if you are angry. You know how good Dafa is. You can study Zhuan Falun to benefit yourself and enlighten your son.” She said she would.

From then on, Xiaocai’s mother began to study Dafa, and the formerly incurable eczema on her face and neck that she’d had for many years went away. A janitor in her building noticed her skin was better and asked her how she was doing. The janitor said that she had rheumatism and was always in pain and that every winter she caught a cold that would last for a month. When Xiaocai’s mother asked me how to answer her, I said, “Just tell her to sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and quit the CCP. That will keep her safe.” Xiaocai’s mother did what I suggested.

About a month later, the janitor told Xiaocai’s mother, “I am so much better now! I am not sick, and I am not in pain. I’m going to tell my relatives about this good thing.” A year later, the janitor told Xiaocai’s mother, “I didn’t catch one cold this year, I recite the auspicious phrases every day, and my health is getting better and better.”

Xiaocai Has Changed

Xiaocai likes me. After he was admitted to high school, he came to see me every other month to talk to me. His parents noticed that as long as Xiaocai talked to me, he would be in a good state for several months. When he was not in a good state again, he had to come to see me.

It was almost time for Xiaocai to take the university entrance examination, and Ms. Zhang, her daughter, and Xiaocai came to see me. Xiaocai’s grades were so-so, and the adults were anxious. I said, “Don’t worry, and don’t get angry. Xiaocai is very good. He knows in his heart that Dafa is good, and he refused to join the Youth League. Xiaocai, just recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ when when you are taking the exam. Do it sincerely, and miracles will happen.” Indeed, Xiaocai was admitted to a public university, and the whole family was happy.

I went to Xiaocai’s college entrance celebration party. His aunt said, “I have heard a lot about you and know who you are.” I took the opportunity to tell her the facts about Dafa and encourage her to quit the Party. She said, “I didn’t believe in anything, but with Xiaocai, I saw that Falun Dafa can miraculously change people. I know that this child’s previous test scores were not good, but he got the best score on the entrance exam. Seeing how he has changed, I believe that Falun Dafa is good. I will heed what you say and quit the CCP’s organizations.”

Xiaocai’s grandfather was a member of the Party. Xiaocai’s mother had tried to persuade him to quit, but he said that he would not quit anything. At the party, I met him for the first time, so I said, “We don’t know each other. Your grandson often comes to my house. You probably know how much he has changed.” He saw that Dafa had turned his grandson into a good boy, and he was very happy about it. I then told him the facts about Dafa and advised him to quit the Party. He said, “I agree. I will quit. In fact, I don’t believe in the Communist Party at all, and I don’t have a good impression of it.”

Xiaocai has changed a lot. His moral standards have improved. This year he is a sophomore, and he started reading Zhuan Falun during the holidays. Now his mother, Ms. Zhang, and Ms. Zhang’s husband are all studying the Dafa’s teachings. They have benefited from Dafa’s Buddha’s light, and they are all grateful for Master’s great compassion and grace. Words fail to express my gratitude to Master for his compassion.
