(Minghui.org) I am 55 years old and began to cultivate Falun Dafa in July 2019. I was pleased to be told that the true meaning of life is returning to one's original home.
I was anxious to tell my sister about this. However, poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) lies, my family members were all against my cultivating Falun Gong. My father even threatened to break off his relationship with me if I practiced Falun Gong. I knew that they didn’t know the truth, so I was not moved and instead I strengthened my thought about cultivating Falun Dafa.
I slept a lot, day and night, before practicing Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong), but I still felt sleepy and my thinking was not clear. I had high blood pressure and also suffered from heart disease, back pain and frequent colds. Sometimes I felt close to death.
Master purified my body after I began to practice Falun Dafa. While meditating on the fourth day, I felt something pulled from both arms and I felt relaxed immediately after. Since then, I recovered from all my diseases, and I felt as if I could levitate. I only need six hours of sleep to stay alert during the day.
One day, near dark, a young man came to my shop to charge his electric car. It would take a long time to fully charge, so I gave him a ride home, 10 miles away. On the way, I told him that I cultivate Falun Dafa and follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and I recovered from all my diseases. I forgot about my attachments of worry and fear, I helped him quit the CCP when I dropped him off. This was my first experience to help someone quit the CCP.
My family called me to ask if I could go home to take care of my mother at the end of 2021. My brothers and sister were too busy. I was in a dilemma as I didn’t want to lose the group Fa study environment, but I knew that I should treat my parents with filial piety, especially now that I cultivated Falun Dafa. After sharing with fellow practitioners, I understood that I should go back to my hometown to clarify the truth and save people.
My mother used to suffer leg pain and couldn’t sleep through the night. I taught her the sitting meditation. However, without the cultivation environment, she didn’t practice the exercises and only listened to the Fa lectures occasionally. Even so, the leg pain was lessened and sometimes she could sleep all night.
When I returned home, I saw my mother lying in bed. She was unable to take care of herself. I downloaded many recordings of cultivation experience sharing articles for my mother to listen to, and after she heard them, she recovered from all her diseases. This really strengthened my mother’s confidence. My father was happy too and agreed that cultivating Falun Dafa is good.
Since my family members didn’t accept Dafa at the beginning, I knew that I must do my best. I took care of my mother even helping her go to the toilet. After a while, my family witnessed how I took care of my mother and they admired me. When they were in need I also helped my brothers and sister. I didn’t care about my personal gains and losses regarding my mother’s pensions and money for hospitalization. My family members witnessed significant changes in me after cultivating Dafa. They all now agree that Falun Dafa is good.
One day, I went up a mountain to chop wood. The firewood that I bundled up was almost 500 pounds. I slid the firewood down a steep slope of nearly seventy degrees. Unexpectedly, the firewood bundle didn’t go straight down and got stuck. When I tried to release it I ended up falling. The firewood began to roll down and would have landed on me, however it suddenly stopped as if some unseen force held it. The firewood did not fall on me. My life was saved. I immediately understood that Master protected me.
After my family understood the truth, my brothers and sister told me that they would take care of our mother and said that I could return home. My mother didn’t want me to leave and cried when I told her about leaving.
A few days later, I had a dream about a graduation ceremony. Around me were all kindergarten and elementary school students. I asked the person next to me if there were any higher-class graduates. He said yes and pointed to somewhere in the distance.
The road was muddy, and I fell but continued to crawl in that direction and then I woke up while still crawling.
I told my mother about this dream, that Master was hinting me to go back, otherwise I would be late. My mother agreed this time as she knew that I need a cultivation environment.
I tried to help my father quit the CCP before, but he refused and told me to practice Falun Dafa at home and not to go against the CCP. I developed the attachment of fear and didn’t ask him to quit the CCP again.
The night before leaving, I sent righteous thoughts to clear the field in my father’s dimension. The next morning, I told my father that he was persecuted by the CCP because his family background was not good, and he needs to break away from the CCP so he will be safe when it is eliminated by Heaven. Then my father agreed to quit the CCP.
As long as we have the thought to save people, Master will always help us.
