(Minghui.org) I am a medical doctor. I have been practicing Falun Dafa for more than 20 years. Falun Dafa has transformed me from a selfish, competitive person into a kind, hardworking, and considerate person.
The grudge between my mother-in-law and me started after I gave birth. I had a difficult labor and ended up having a C-section to give birth to my daughter. At first, I could only drink rice soup after delivery. After a bowel movement, I could eat normally, but my mother-in-law still gave me rice soup, which didn’t have enough nutrients. My husband asked her to cook more nutritious food for me. My mother-in-law only made me thick rice porridge. I was angry and sad at the time. I was weak after giving birth and did not get the timely nutrition to recover. My body collapsed, and I was in pain all over my body. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law made millet rice for me, and my sister-in-law told me that I would not have milk for my baby if I ate millet. Indeed, I no longer had milk for my baby. It was not until my parents came that my mother-in-law began to cook meals for me.
In contrast, my sister-in-law (my husband’s younger sister) moved into my mother-in-law’s house after she gave birth to a daughter, and my mother-in-law took care of her child. But my mother-in-law was unwilling to take care of my daughter. This experience deeply harmed me. I secretly swore that I would never take care of my mother-in-law if she needed me in the future.
After I started practicing Falun Dafa, Master’s Fa untied the knots in my heart, and I gradually got rid of my resentment and grudges toward my mother-in-law. I was able to think from her perspective, and I knew I should not treat my mother-in-law according to the declining moral standards in society. I had to treat her kindly in accordance with the requirements of a Falun Dafa practitioner.
I took leave to take care of her. I collected her urine, bought her favorite fruits and meals, and discussed her treatment with doctors while my mother-in-law was in the hospital with a broken leg. I hired a caregiver to take care of my mother-in-law when she was discharged from the hospital, since I was busy at work. My mother-in-law had many chronic diseases. I was the one who treated her and adjusted her medicines, and paid for them.
When she was dying, I was the only daughter-in-law who stayed by her side. My husband and I bought her burial clothes and dressed her. Even her beloved daughter and the other two daughters-in-law arrived late. Dafa made me put aside my past grudges and take care of my mother-in-law with respect.
Looking back, I am grateful to Master and to Dafa for enabling me to understand the purpose of life, improving my morality, and freeing me from the burdens of fame, wealth, and emotion. A happy heart and hope for the future are not something that can be bought with money or power. Practicing Dafa gave me back good health and a filial and successful child. Although my daughter got married at an older age, she gave birth to a son smoothly, and her family bought a large four-bedroom apartment. Our entire family lives happily.
