Life is Part of Cultivation - Repairing Family Gaps
By a Dafa practitioner from Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Even today there are practitioners who cannot step
forward from everyday people and from their families. It is really a pity. The
key is to upgrade xinxing, think from a different angle, and eliminate
selfishness from the old universe's principles so as to be able to follow the
benevolence, kindness, righteousness and forbearance of the principles Master
teaches, so as to be able to break through the family gaps arranged by the old
forces. It is also to be able to let people with predestined relationships
obtain the Fa and have righteous thoughts and actions. I was previously illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor. From
clarifying the facts at the police department, the jail, the Shijiazhuang City
Forced Labor Camp, the provincial law enforcement center, the Gaoyang Forced
Labor Camp, then back at the Shijiazhuang local police department and home,
Master has protected me all the way. Behind each tribulation there was a human
notion that needed to be removed. When xinxing was upgraded, the surrounding
environment changed. With righteous thoughts and actions, each tribulation
disappeared without much effort. I would like to share with everyone the
following story from the past year. In spring 2004, one evening I was preparing for the next day's business trip,
and my husband asked me where I was going. Life's hardships and accumulated
resentments caused me to reply without much thought, "Do I have to report
to you where I am going?" He then grabbed a chair and threw it towards my
head. I immediately sent forth righteous thoughts and told him, "I do not
want you to incur more karma." At the same time, I started to eliminate
dark minions and rotten demons that interfered with him in other dimensions. Driven by competitiveness within myself, I then ran out of the house to the
yard and did the exercises. How can I let this situation prevent me from
practicing at home? I didn't even stop doing the exercises while I was in
detention. My child then rushed to me saying, "Mother, you have to leave,
father is calling the police." I immediately went back into the house and
criticized my husband, "You beat a person and broke the law. What were you
going to do if you hurt me?" I sent forth righteous thoughts that night and
the police did not dare come to my home. In order to stop my husband's bad actions, I stayed at a classmate's home for
three nights. I thought of many things, but thinking of divorce brought tears to
my eyes. I first looked inside for demonic nature and resentment. I thought of the
miracle of my broken tooth recovering after my husband's beating. When I gave
the inch-long front tooth to a dentist, 24 hours had already passed. The dentist
said that the tooth would not survive for more than three years. Now eight years
have passed. Isn't it a miracle of Dafa? Then I thought of the past few years,
during which time my husband and daughter relied on each other to survive. My
husband has a bad temper and irrational behavior due to his rheumatism disease.
He lost his vision during my detention. His medicine costs several thousand
yuan each year. I have support from Dafa, but what kind of hope does
he have? If a Dafa disciple can not tolerate him, he will become a burden to
whoever is taking care of him. Moreover, I was just released, so others may
misunderstand the reason for divorce, and his family would resent Dafa, which
would have an impact on society. I will not allow the evil to take any advantage from my attachment. My
classmate saw that my bleeding did not stop, so she took me to my
mother-in-law's home, saying that if I had fought back, I could have hurt my
husband, but because I cultivated Zhen-Shan-Ren, I did not fight back. I also
calmly told them not to worry or be angry. Later, I calmly went home and did
housework, as though nothing had happened. Later my husband's family heard of
this, and they asked him to go to the police department to rescind his report,
and stop the police from acting on the evil thing that he had begun. After that,
several people who came to my husband and me obtained the Fa. I took every
opportunity to promote the Fa. One day a classmate who just obtained the Fa came to my house to do the
exercises. She asked my husband, "Wouldn't you get well if you did the
exercises?" The three of us then started doing the exercises. My classmate
laughed because my husband was now learning the exercises after many years of
objections. My husband laughed, and I also laughed at him as I questioned his
seriousness. My unfriendly laugh almost stopped my voice as I was coordinating
the exercises. I immediately realized that my thought was not righteous and I
should eliminate it. At a crucial moment, one's thought is very important and I
should not treat people with old notions. Perhaps his clear side already wanted
to obtain the Fa, but the timing was not yet right. Otherwise, I might have
ruined his future. I thought of what Master said about each thought showing
goodness or badness. Not long afterwards, blotches broke out all over my body, except my palms and
arches. Doctors said it was a skin disease, psoriasis, which would cost a lot of
money to cure. I decided to do sitting meditation every evening. Sometimes I
felt cold and sometimes I felt hot. Many layers of skin peeled off during the
first month or so. Then my skin disease completely disappeared. I walked out of
my home and visited the city police department, 610 Office and my
work unit. The city 610 Office chief saw the wound made by my husband and said,
"I'll give you my office phone number. You call us if he beats you
again." Up until August, a deputy director of the city police department had
repeatedly asked me to tutor his two children. I told him that I appreciated his
trust, and that I cultivated Zhen-Shan-Ren to be a good person, and that Dafa
requires me to do everything with my best efforts. I took every opportunity to
show that Dafa is the true science, not just preaching or idealism. My
parents-in-law saw my skin disease disappear without getting any treatment, and
they asked their son to learn the exercises from me, saying it would save money
and reduce suffering. They remarked how wonderful and valuable Dafa is! Now we hang Master's picture in a prominent place in our living room. When my
husband sees me doing the exercises, he quietly closes the door. When he sees an
article in Minghui Weekly that is of importance to practitioners, he
informs other practitioners. When a predestined relationship is strong, we
should cherish it. When it becomes weak, we should let it go naturally. We
should not complain or hate, and we should have a big heart and stay optimistic.
If there were no Dafa, my family would break up. I have been witnessing Master's
benevolent saving and protection by my husband's change from reporting me, to
his learning the exercises, to his change of mind after reading "The Nine
Commentaries." My husband's yearly winter illnesses have subsided, and he
is now free of medicine throughout the year. He changed from an everyday person
who had been deceived by the communist evil spirit, to a good person with a
positive attitude toward Zhen-Shan-Ren, and we have become a harmonious family. February 16, 2005 |
