(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1998. Compassionate Master helped and protected me every step of the way as I stumbled through ups and downs on my cultivation journey. I’m honored to be a practitioner during the Fa-rectification period. No words can express my gratitude to Master!
I’d like to share my cultivation experience with you. Please kindly point out if my understanding is not in line with the Fa.
My mother-in-law fractured her bones three times in one year, from autumn 2019 to autumn 2020. She broke four ribs the first time. Her oldest son took her to the county hospital, and the doctor said it was an age-related ailment and sent her home. But the pain was unbearable, so she called us, and my husband brought her to the city to live with us.
I let her wear my brand new undergarments the next day and took her to the hospital. My son had a specialist check her, and he confirmed she had four broken ribs. She underwent minimally invasive surgery and I washed her dirty clothes afterward. I was already exhausted from taking care of two granddaughters and a grandson—and this experience caused many of my attachments to emerge.
My mother-in-law didn’t lift a finger when my husband and I got married. She was in her late 40s then, and was hard-to-please. She berated whomever she wanted, and said she didn’t need help from anyone.
She was constantly chewing people out and gambling day and night. My father-in-law was paralyzed on of one side of his body, but he had to cook and wash the dishes. None of her three daughters-in-law wanted anything to do with her.
Being a practitioner, I knew I should follow Master’s teachings and be tolerant. Yet my resentment toward her ran deep. My mother-in-law stayed at my house several days after she was discharged from the hospital.
She broke her hand three months later, and the doctor put a cast on it. Within two months, she fell and fractured a femoral head. My brothers-in-law said they couldn’t take care of her, so my husband and I took her to the county hospital. The doctor said she needed surgery.
I bought her a new set of pajamas, washed her clothes, and helped her bathe. She was touched and said, “You must be tired, my dear daughter-in-law!”
I replied, “I’m not tired. Just remember to recite ‘Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance is good.’” She continued to repeat the phrases even when the doctor came to the room to check on her.
My painstaking care for my mother-in-law touched the entire family, and they understood Dafa is a good practice. The oldest brother-in-law and his wife, who were skeptical before, changed their minds. His wife asked me to teach her the two auspicious phrases, and she wanted to start learning the practice. She also quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
My mother-in-law passed away the following year. The oldest brother-in-law then wanted to settle some old scores with his brother. But he dropped the matter after I talked to him, and a family conflict was averted.
Our village was demolished soon after. I decided against taking the compensation for my mother-in-law’s two houses and let my brothers-in-law have it. The oldest brother asked my husband, “Why didn’t your wife take the compensation?”
He replied, “Don’t you know she’s a practitioner? If she didn’t practice Dafa, she wouldn’t have given you a single penny!”
Our family learned what Falun Dafa was all about through my actions, and they now know Dafa is good!
