(Minghui.org) I am 25 years old, and came across Falun Dafa when surfing the Internet. I have only been practicing for a short time.
A few months ago, when I was about to leave for work, my sister stopped me and said: “Mom had a migraine earlier this morning. She is pacing up and down and seems to have lost her memory. She can't remember her work address or what happened a few minutes ago.”
My mother is 53 years old and contracted meningitis at a young age. She had issues with blood vessels in her brain ever since. It was common for her to have a migraine, but this time it was quite serious.
I told my sister to go to school. Then I called my office to tell them that I was taking the day off to look after my mom. I also called my mother's office to inform them that she was ill. I told her not to worry and to recite 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,' which she did. After a while she went to bed and fell asleep.
Looking Within
At this point I was thinking, why I was facing this problem? As I looked inward, I noticed that I held a grudge against my mom and always complained about her. The meals are not that tasty, our home is messy, etc. In my mind, what she did at home was not good enough to meet my expectations.
As a son, I did not treat my mother with enough respect. As a practitioner, I did not practice compassion or forbearance. When I realized this, I felt ashamed of myself and sorry for my mom.
The next day, my mom was feeling much better and went to work. From that day on, I no longer complained about her. Instead, I started to do more chores around the house. My mom also started practicing Falun Dafa and has been reciting: “Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
My mom now enjoys good health and looks much younger than before. I told her that we are most fortunate to practice Falun Dafa. She agreed and said, “Thank you Master Li for offering us salvation.”
