(Minghui.org) I would like to tell you how my family members benefited from Dafa, as well as two experiences I had in overcoming sickness-karma and eliminating resentment.
My Family Members Learned the Truth and Were Blessed
I helped my family members to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, starting with my eldest brother who was a CCP secretary. When I clarified the truth to him and encouraged him to withdraw, he said, “I can’t withdraw yet. In another year, I’ll have been a Party member for 40 years.” I advised him, “What’s that good for? If you withdraw, you won’t be held accountable for the CCP’s crimes.” He said, “I know that there’s no hope for this Party. I’ll withdraw.” He had been scheduled by his workplace to retire. After he withdrew from the CCP, he was asked to continue working for two more years. I knew he received this blessing because he withdrew from the CCP.
My oldest sister suffered from chest pain since she was a child. She once fainted due to the pain but regained consciousness when she was carried outside. After I clarified the truth to her, she withdrew from the CCP organizations she joined. Now, she always carries a truth-clarification amulet and says, “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Her chest pain has never recurred. She is now 82 years old and has no health problems. She can go to the market by herself and she even plants sweet potatoes in the field. She is happy every day. I know she’s been blessed because she withdrew from the CCP.
My second oldest sister and her entire family understand the truth and know that Dafa is good. They have also benefited from Dafa. When she underwent surgery on her liver and gallbladder several years ago, I asked her to remember, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Her whole family agreed, and her surgery went very smoothly. She was discharged from the hospital just three days after the operation. Her husband told me, “When I said, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ I felt good!” I said, “This is the power of Dafa. We should all thank Master!” My second eldest sister is now 77 years old and is in very good health. She still helps take care of her son’s children. Her husband’s insomnia also went away.
Two Life-or-Death Tribulations Brought On by Resentment
My mother-in-law became ill and was hospitalized. Although she had several children, they all lived out of town and couldn’t help her. My husband’s seventh uncle called me and asked me to go there to help, so I immediately took a bus. At that time, the only one who was taking care of my mother-in-law in the hospital was my oldest sister-in-law. She had become so exhausted by taking care of her mother, that she had to be hospitalized.
I got on the bus a little after 1:00 p.m. that day and arrived at the hospital after 4:00 p.m. My mother-in-law was seriously ill, so I called my second oldest sister, who lived out of town, and asked her to come. However, my mother-in-law’s condition was severe. She had to urinate every 25 minutes, and we also had to help her clear phlegm continuously. My sister and I did not sleep that night or the following day. It was not until after 9:00 p.m. the next day that my fifth and fourth sisters-in-law came to take over. We then went to my husband’s seventh uncle’s home and finally got some sleep.
The next morning, we went back to the hospital to relieve my fifth and fourth sisters-in-law. At that point, my husband’s second oldest brother called and said, “I planned to come and take over for you, but I have to clean the house this weekend to prepare to rent it out, so I can’t go.” When I heard this, my resentment arose.
Before my fifth and fourth sisters-in-law had even left, I suddenly felt as though I had lost sensation in my body. My legs would not move when I tried to walk. I had symptoms of a brain blood clot and I couldn’t walk. I said I was fine and I would soon be better, but they wouldn’t listen. They put me in a wheelchair and took me to the emergency room. My children happened to arrive at the hospital. Without my knowing, the doctor requested that I undergo an MRI, and my husband’s younger sister paid for it. When I heard this, I didn’t want to have the examination, but the money could not be refunded. My relatives all insisted that I have the MRI so I had no choice but to undergo it.
As soon as I lay on the examination bed, I began to send forth righteous thoughts. In the end, nothing was wrong with me. The doctor nevertheless prescribed three kinds of medication, although the hospital had only one of them available at the time. I thought, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and Master is looking after me. I’ll be fine.” I secretly threw the prescriptions and that medication into the trash can. My husband’s seventh uncle called my children to come and take me home.
On the way home, I continued complaining to my children about my second brother-in-law and in particular, his wife. My mother-in-law had been hospitalized several times, yet she never once came to care for her. She only cared about herself. When I later shared my experiences with other practitioners, I realized that this illusion of sickness karma had been brought on by my resentment. I should not hold ordinary people to the same standards as a practitioner. I looked within and found I was afraid I’d become exhausted. But the main issue was that I resented my second sister-in-law.
Another experience of illness-karma occurred after my husband and I had an argument over household matters. I felt he was messy. One day, before it was time to send righteous thoughts, I thought I would mop the floor first. After I finished, when I picked up the towel, I suddenly couldn’t move my hand, and then I could no longer control my entire body. My husband was lying on the bed. I called out just once, and then I could no longer speak. When my husband saw what was happening, he quickly dragged me out of the bathroom. I was completely clear-headed, but I couldn’t say a single word.
My husband helped me to the bed and wanted to call 120 (the emergency number in China). I said in my heart that there was no need to call, but I still couldn’t make a sound. I could only wave my hand to stop him. When the ambulance arrived, they put me on a stretcher and took me to the hospital. While I was having a CT scan, I suddenly remembered that I usually told others to say, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Why had I forgotten to do this at this crucial time?
I immediately began to recite in my heart, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” From the CT room to the observation room, I said it only four times. When the doctor asked me to move my legs, I found that I could move my entire body. The doctor asked me my name, and I immediately answered him. My husband was excited to see this, and the doctor said, “For someone in this condition, you are very lucky.” My daughter arrived at the hospital soon afterward. I said I was fine and I wanted to go home, but they stopped me and insisted that I stay for further observation and spend the night in the hospital.
I felt this wasn’t the place for me. The next morning, while the doctor was off duty, I quietly left the hospital and went home. When the doctor discovered that I had left, he called me. I said, “Thank you for taking care of me. I’m fine now.”
Afterward, I looked within to see the why this happened. During that time, I was constantly filled with resentment for my husband. That day, I became angry with him again because I felt that he was careless about hygiene. He told me not to meddle in his affairs. I replied, “If you make me so angry that I have to go to the hospital, even if you come to see me, I won’t talk to you.”
Through this incident, I realized that the old forces had seized upon my resentment and used it as an excuse to persecute me. Fortunately, I firmly believed in Dafa and I was able to negate it at the crucial moment. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
I Finally Eliminated My Resentment
Through studying the Fa and listening to other practitioners share their experiences, I learned to look inward and, in particular, to eliminate my resentment. I became more peaceful and I can calmly handle things that once made me furious. This was especially evident in the way I cared for my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law is very strong-willed and loses her temper when things don’t go her way. One time she called me, but I didn’t hear her. So she immediately threw her chopsticks onto the floor. I didn’t get angry and spoke to her gently. Seeing me react this way, she also acted as though nothing happened.
Another time, my mother-in-law wanted to eat scallion pancakes. After I made the first one, I thought it might be a little too hard for her, so I didn’t give it to her. I planned to make another one and put the two together to let the first one soften a little.
When my mother-in-law began to eat, I asked her whether the seasoning was okay. She suddenly threw the pancake on the table and said angrily, “It’s not salty!” What she was really upset about was that I had not given her the first pancake as soon as it was made. When I saw that she was angry, I quickly sat down beside her. I put one hand on her shoulder and gently rubbed her back with the other. Smiling, I said, “Mom, don’t be angry. The first pancake was too hard. If you are angry while you eat, you won’t be able to digest your food well.”
At that point, my husband’s fifth younger brother could not bear to watch anymore. He called my daughter and said, “Come quickly and take your mother home. Your grandma is going to send your mother to the grave.” My daughter then called me and asked what happened. I said that everything was fine. I truly did not feel that it was a big deal. My husband’s eldest brother said to me, “You are the only one who can really take care of our mother.”
After my father-in-law passed away, I brought my mother-in-law to live with us and I took good care of her. She said, “If I went back home and told the neighbors how well you treat me, wouldn’t that make those old ladies my age turn green with envy?”
Practicing Falun Dafa changed me from a person full of conflict and resentment into someone who can face issues calmly. My mother-in-law said, “Even if my sons don’t take care of me, I’m not afraid. As long as I have you, I have someone I can rely on.” The son of my husband’s sixth younger brother also told my mother-in-law, “Grandma, you have two good daughters-in-law.” My mother-in-law asked, “Who are they?” He replied, “Third Auntie [referring to me] and Fifth Auntie.” My mother-in-law smiled and said, “You certainly have a good eye!”
