(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 2003. Prior to that, I suffered various illnesses, such as trigeminal nerve pain, gynecological diseases, arrhythmia, hypertension, and child bearing complications. I took all kinds of medications without any luck. As my health deteriorated, my temper did as well. I became hard to please and started to find fault with my husband. I eventually divorced him.

After the divorce, my life became even more miserable. Due to my poor health, I could not work and earn a living for me and my child. My child was very young and needed my care, so I had to stay home. The grudge I held against life and my fate could not be more tangible. I could see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Dafa Saved My Life and Marriage

Right about this time, Falun Dafa practitioners approached me and told me about all the benefits of practicing Dafa. I said to myself, “I've got nothing to lose and this is free. I don't care if the government has banned it. I will give it a try and see if it can cure my illnesses.”

After reading Zhuan Falun and learning the exercises, wondrous things happened. My illnesses gradually disappeared. Ever since then, I have not had to see the doctor or take a single pill. Furthermore, I have great stamina to go about doing my daily chores and the work that I used to dread.

As my health improved dramatically and my Fa study deepened, the harsh feelings toward my husband lessened and I could appreciate him more.

Master clearly pointed out,

“In cultivation practice, there may be two scenarios when dealing with specific conflicts or when others treat you badly. One is that you might have treated this person badly in your previous life. You feel in your heart that it is unfair, "How can this person treat me like this?" Then why did you treat this person that way in the past? You might claim that you actually did not know it at that time, and this life has nothing to do with the other life. That does not work.” (Zhuan Falun, Lecture 4)

After reading Master's words, I could understand the predestined relationship between husband and wife, and the fact that there was a cause in a previous life for this special relationship. Dafa taught me to be a good person, to be considerate of others, and to put others' feelings and benefits ahead of my own.

Master said,

“You should always maintain a heart of compassion and kindness. Then, when you run into a problem, you will be able to do well because it gives you room to buffer the confrontation. You should always be benevolent and kind to others, and consider others when doing anything. Whenever you encounter a problem, you should first consider whether others can put up with this matter or if it will hurt anyone. In doing so, there will not be any problems. Therefore, in cultivation practice you should follow a higher and higher standard for yourself.” (Zhuan Falun, Lecture 4)

Dafa awakened me and made me realize that I must hold myself to a high standard. Although I was the one who filed for divorce, I decided to invite my ex-husband back, remarry him, and give him a warm and welcoming home.

As I explained my action to relatives and friends, they were happily surprised that Falun Dafa had the power to completely change my mind, knowing well that I was stubborn and never apologized to anybody. But they still were not sure if my change was from the heart and if I could carry it through in the long run.

After remarriage, I continued to stay true to Dafa's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I made each and every effort and strived to be a good wife and mother in my daily life. Our home became harmonious for the first time.

Our relatives and friends were completely reassured, and my family's life-changing experience had a profound impact on them. Later, when I was detained and sentenced to two terms of forced labor for practicing Dafa, none of my relatives ever gave in to pressure from the authorities and never tried to coerce me to give up my practice. Furthermore, most of them have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its associated organizations.

People Awaken after Hearing the Truth

As a Dafa practitioner, it is my historic responsibility to tell people about Dafa and quitting CCP, and I must do it well. I take advantage of every opportunity to talk to people regardless of their gender, age, occupation, or social status. Afterwards, most of them smile and thank me.

Once, I met a person who looked like a government official. I started chatting with him first. After a while, I asked him if he had heard of quitting the CCP. He admitted that his brother-in-law had mentioned it to him a few years back and several others had as well, but he never accepted what they said.

I then switched the topic to government officials having the tendency to believe superstition since he revealed that he was a local government bureau chief. Then I told him that quitting the CCP was for the sake of one's own safety and welfare.

I continued to give him more information about Dafa. Eventually, he smiled and said to me, “You have convinced me today. What you said makes sense to me. Please quit the CCP for me.” I knew right away that another precious being was awakened by practitioners' persistent truth-clarification efforts. I simply provided the last push that helped him over the threshold.

Another time I ran across a senior gentleman as I was walking down the street. I initiated the conversation by saying, “Great day to take a walk. You look so healthy.” He was friendly and we exchanged pleasantries while we went on side by side.

As the conversation touched on the topic of government corruption, he said that it was a direct consequence of Jiang Zemin's rule. I saw an opening and said, “I heard that there have been over two hundred thousand people who have filed criminal complaints against Jiang to the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. He will soon be brought to justice.”

We then chatted about the Cultural Revolution. He told me that he was a teacher. As I brought up the issue of quitting the CCP, he said he'd never heard of it but was willing to do it. As we parted ways, he said to me, “Thank you! Thank you!” I could sense the happiness and gratitude of an awakened being who had been saved by Dafa.

There are so many such stories. It is Master who leads people with predestined relationships to me. Truth clarification is the happiest part of my daily life, in addition to Fa study and exercises. I want to thank Master for the precious opportunity to practice Dafa and help save sentient beings. I also want to thank fellow practitioners for their selfless and persistent efforts in our joint endeavor to save more people.
