(Minghui.org) My nephew and his then-girlfriend lived together before she turned 20 (the legal marriage age in China) and had a daughter. Therefore I didn’t have a good impression of her.
They eventually got married, but she didn’t take good care of their child and often threw temper tantrums in front of my sister (her mother-in-law), so I disliked her even more. I often dwelt on her flaws whenever I saw or thought of her.
I had forgotten my responsibility as a practitioner and neglected to look inward to improve. Although I thought about telling her about Falun Dafa and the persecution, somehow I didn’t think she would listen or understand.
We got together at my sister’s house one evening. After dinner, we talked about current affairs and natural disasters.
My nephew’s wife was terrified of the COVID-19 virus and felt helpless. She didn’t know how to protect herself from it.
I seemed to suddenly forget her shortcomings and said, “If you sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ and renounce the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations, divine beings will protect you from the pandemic and other disasters.”
She looked at me in wide-eyed amazement and asked, “Please tell me what Falun Dafa is all about. Is the ‘self-immolation incident’ for real? Why should I quit the CCP organizations?”
She listened carefully as I answered her questions, and my nephew interjected a few words here and there. After agreeing to withdraw from the Young Pioneers, she asked if she could practice Falun Dafa.
I didn’t have any Dafa books with me, so I suggested she listen to the audio lectures of Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) with her mother-in-law.
My sister believes in Dafa, often reads truth clarification materials, and recites “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She also has copies of Master's lectures on audiotape.
She had serious gas poisoning not long ago but survived, blessed because she had faith in Dafa.
I was embarrassed I’d had such bad thoughts about my nephew’s wife. People are waiting to be awakened, and I have so many human notions that prevent me from clarifying the truth.
Master strengthened my righteous thoughts that night and removed my prejudiced attitudes about my nephew’s wife. This made me realize that I should not have a negative opinion of anyone else, because that will hinder me from awakening more people.
Thank you, Master, for your boundless compassion!
