(Minghui.org) I have practiced Falun Dafa for over 20 years, and I’ve experienced the sacredness of “Bathed in divine light, conduct and thought become right.” (The Third Talk, Zhuan Falun). The principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance have not only tempered Dafa practitioners but also penetrated people’s hearts like the sun melting ice, resolving all kinds of grievances.
Doctor Wang was a director of the thoracic department in a top-rated hospital. Many patients wanted him to perform their operations. There was an endless waiting list. However, he was arrogant and mean to the staff. He also took bribes and got rebates from medical suppliers. So he became known as the famous “Rebate Doctor.”
Wang was later diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer in his 50s. As a thoracic specialist, he had dealt with lung cancer patients for many years and knew what awaited him.
A Falun Dafa practitioner who worked in the same hospital visited and told him about Dafa. Since he was extremely weak, his main consciousness wasn’t always clear, so his wife read Zhuan Falun to him.
Doctor Wang told the practitioner that he thought Zhuan Falun was well written but, unfortunately, he got to know about the Fa principles too late and ended up pursuing fame and self-interest. As a result, he accumulated too much karma and later passed away.
At a meeting of specialists and directors, the leader conveyed doctor Wang’s last wish. He asked the leaders to convey his apologies to everyone whom he had harmed, expressing deep remorse for his past actions and the hope to be forgiven.
This incident caused quite a stir in the hospital. Doctor Wang entrusted his leaders to make open apologies, which is a rarity in today’s world.
Many people knew why doctor Wang had changed. It was the great compassion of Dafa that awakened his conscience to have all those grievances resolved.
My Grandmother’s Transformation
My grandma, my mother’s stepmother, was mean, suspicious, and narrow-minded. A careless word from her could trigger a conflict with my mother, which could go unresolved for many years. So we were very careful in dealing with my grandma.
After my mother began practicing Falun Dafa, she gradually let go of her grievances toward my grandma. My mother followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and treated every family member kindly. After Dafa practitioners were subjected to persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), her family gave her a hard time, but she didn’t take it to heart.
She was still filial (devoted) to caring for the elderly and maintaining harmony with everyone in the family. When my grandma was hospitalized, my mother went to take care of her. Whenever the holidays came, she took the initiative to call my grandma and mailed her some gifts. When my grandma ran into a conflict with my aunt and uncle, my mother intervened with kindness and helped resolve them, one after another.
My grandma gradually saw that my mother benefited from practicing cultivation, exhibiting kindness, and always being optimistic amid tribulations. So she began to read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, watch truth-clarification DVDs, and listen to Master Li Hongzhi’s lectures (Dafa’s founder). In the end, she agreed to quit the CCP and its youth organizations.
During a medical checkup, my grandma was found to have lung cancer. She knew the truth about Dafa and wasn’t worried. Instead of having her children pursue any advanced treatment for her, she chose to stay at home. What made it different from before was that she sincerely recited the phrase “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!”
The conflicts between my aunt and grandma used to be intense, and they didn’t talk to each other for years. After my grandma and grandpa made their separate wills to distribute their assets, my mother gave everything to my aunt and uncle’s daughter. As a result, my aunt truly admired my mother and was willing to let go of her grievances and took the initiative to look after my grandma.
When seeing my aunt’s transformation, my grandma was very touched. When she was later admitted to a hospital, she often cried and told the doctors and nurses, “Do you know? None of them are my biological daughters, yet they treat me so well!” What she thought was that if she could return home, she would make up for all her wrongdoings.
When I went back to visit my grandma, she told me she often felt a warm current of energy penetrating through her body. Every morning, after she woke up, the phrase “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” would appear right in front of her. She also said, “While I was half-awake, I saw people practicing Falun Dafa on the road, over the bridge, and on the grass. Truly wonderful!”
Bathed in the light of Falun Dafa, she didn’t feel any pain. She passed away, peacefully, in her sleep eight years later.
The doctor who had treated her said, “For someone who had lung cancer for eight years without receiving any treatment, it was amazing she didn’t feel any pain. This can’t be explained by medical science.”
My Cousin’s Family Is Very Fortunate
After my uncle passed away, my aunt started a small business to make ends meet. My cousin wasn’t very helpful, and they needed other people’s help. But my aunt believes Falun Dafa is good and kept in mind what my mother told her: Sincerely recite: “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” when experiencing difficulties.
After a few years, my aunt remarried and emigrated to the United States. After leaving China, she truly came to feel the importance of morality and maintaining a strong bond in her marriage. She once came back home and told us, “Thinking back on my life in China, it was really hard to look at. I have probably received good fortune so that I can spend the rest of my life in the US worry-free.”
My cousin in China often needed to work overtime, and when she couldn’t sleep, she’d recite the phrase, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” She also shared this secret with her friends. In the end, her friends also snapped out of their troubles. During the lockdown in 2020, she and her friends managed to get through that difficult period. They all knew it was because they believed in the Falun Dafa principles.
After the lockdown was lifted, she started working in a restaurant. This restaurant did well and opened a few other branches. She was later promoted to manager. Despite the impact of the pandemic and the overall decline of the Chinese economy, her life was very good, which made her relatives look at her differently.
For my cousin and my aunt to truly believe Dafa is good and sincerely recite the phrases, both of them snapped out of their difficult situations and began new lives.
A Strange Predestined Relationship
My husband divorced me and married again. After many years, I let go of my resentment of him through Dafa cultivation. I also lost contact with him. During the pandemic, my mother and I seized the time to clarify the facts to our relatives and friends, telling them how to avoid being infected by the coronavirus.
However, I was a bit hesitant to tell my ex-husband’s family, as our relationship was a bit strained. Even so, I thought that I couldn’t be selective in terms of saving people. After thinking it over, I decided to invite his family over.
He accepted the invitation and brought his wife and daughter along. My daughter was very happy to play with their girl, whom she’d never met. My mother and I treated them with respect. The atmosphere was very peaceful.
I talked to his wife as if we were old friends. I told her about Falun Dafa, and the truth about the pandemic, which was blocked by state-run media. She told me that she grew up in a family believing in gods. Her parents often led the villagers to worship them. So she could totally understand what I said. In the end, she agreed to quit the CCP. Before they left, she happily accepted the amulets and Dafa brochures I gave her.
Out of the many relatives and friends to whom I clarified the truth, she turned out to be the most receptive. One’s predestined relationship arranged by gods is truly miraculous. What seemed to be a very strained relationship turned out to be a perfect opportunity for someone to be saved by Dafa.
Repaying a Grievance with Virtue
My daughter started hanging out with one of her classmates. But gradually, this classmate became more and more demanding and was often at odds with my daughter. She once bullied my daughter and pinched her face.
The gap between the two girls grew over the past two years. When mentioning the girl, my daughter often became emotional. In the middle school entrance exam, the competition was fierce. The girl did well in some subjects, but not in others. She was under great pressure and felt depressed. None of her classmates liked her and kept a distance from her. Her teacher and parents were also worried about her.
Feeling helpless, she asked my daughter to help her with math. Seeing her looking so pitiful, my daughter decided to put aside her grievances to help her prepare for the entrance exam. So every Friday night, I picked up both of them, then cooked dinner, and found a place for them to study together. Her parents showed us a great deal of appreciation.
I told her about the importance of quitting the CCP’s youth organization, the Young Pioneers, and she agreed to it. I also gave her an amulet and shared with her the importance of reciting the auspicious phrase “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
She told my daughter that she recited them after returning home, and it was so miraculous that she could finally sleep well. She then introduced the phrase to her cousin who was facing a high school exam.
Even though this girl wasn’t admitted to one of the best middle schools, she wrote in my daughter’s graduation message, “Six years have passed. We had conflicts and clashes in between. However, didn’t they all get resolved? After we’re separated from each other, I wish you all the best in the future.”
My daughter repaid a grievance with kindness, under Dafa’s benevolent saving grace. Master Li said,
“How many chaotic affairs in the human worldGratitude and resentment experienced over and overWicked hearts with massive karma are doomedDafa settles everything from the origin”(“Settling the Great Havoc,” Hong Yin II)
Under Dafa’s immense saving grace, grievances in the world turn into opportunities for the Buddha Law to save sentient beings. The Buddha's light illuminates everywhere and brings blessings to everyone.
