(Minghui.org) Even at the age of 95, my mother is still in good health. She can take care of herself and do some simple chores around the house.
She lives by herself, and my siblings and I take turns visiting her daily. She often goes to city parks when the weather is good. When my brothers visit, they like to take her out for dinner, which she enjoys.
Thanks to Falun Dafa, an ancient spiritual discipline, Mother is enjoying her old age. She believes that it was Falun Dafa’s founder, Master Li Hongzhi, who saved her life five years ago.
One morning in December 2014, I was at her home when I heard a loud bang and then saw her lying on the floor, face up. I squatted down next to her and asked her to repeat after me: “Falun Dafa is good!”
“Falun Dafa is good!” she repeated.
“Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are good!” I said.
“Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are good!”
Then I said, “Master Li Hongzhi, please help me!”
Mother also repeated that, also.
After a while, I helped her to bed. We repeated what we had said, and Mother's voice was firm, sincere, and loud.
In the past when I told her to recite “Falun Dafa is good,” she never did because she was afraid of being persecuted. This time, she knew she was in serious trouble and decided to ask Master Li to help her.
When one of my brothers came later that day, I told him that mother fell. Because she looked okay, he didn’t ask for details.
My mother had been suffering from cerebral arteriosclerosis and relying on shots to alleviate her symptoms since she was in her 40s. Most people her age who fall would go to the hospital for a full checkup. But I was certain that Master Li had saved her, and there was no need to do that.
Mother didn’t have any abnormal symptoms in the next two days. On the third day when I went to see her, she said she was feeling a little dizzy.
My first thought was that she might be having a brain hemorrhage. But I immediately realized that that thought was not right. Master Li had helped her, so she shouldn't have any problem.
In fact, she has had problems with her circulation that left her feeling dizzy before. She always ate a piece of chocolate and then she'd feel just fine.
I told her to have a piece of chocolate. She said she didn't feel dizzy anymore. She had no discomfort afterwards.
Two months later, I was helping her to wash her feet. When I took off her socks, I noticed that her toenails, which used to be thick and gray, were now thinner and shiny, with the exception of her big toes. It was very surprising because her toenails had been gray for decades.
When I thought about it, Mother had undergone other, subtle changes ever since her fall. She no longer complained about minor aches and pains. She stopped taking painkillers, which she had done for years. She seemed to really be growing younger.
I believe it was Falun Dafa that saved her and made her better. I wish more people would give it a try and benefit from it.
