Righteous Thoughts And Patience Overcome Interference

With the improvement of my xinxing [heart-nature / moral quality] during my cultivation, my husband has changed from opposing Dafa to supporting my Dafa cultivation. Recently, however, departing from his normal behaviour, my husband unreasonably scolded me for doing Dafa work and studying Dafa books. By looking inward, I found that I had ignored doing housework, and become less concerned with my husband. After I corrected my behaviour, the atmosphere at home eased a bit, but I was still restrained. I did not feel at ease when doing Dafa truth clarifying work.

One day, I asked my husband, “What’s so bad about me that I deserve your terrible temper?” To my surprise, he unpredictably said, “Don’t you want to go back to China to visit your relatives? You are so active in doing Falun Gong work, and so involved in it. They absolutely won’t allow you to enter China.” I was baffled and asked, “Why should it be so urgent for me to go back to my country during such severe repression?” Unexpectedly, my husband became more furious. He yelled at me, “It’s all right for you that you can’t go back, but because of you, I can’t go there, either! ”Hearing it, and not knowing whether I should laugh or cry, I asked, “Being a German native, what’s there for you to be so worried about?” At that time, I only felt that he was filled with malevolence. However, because I had to prepare a meal then, our conversation was cut short.

In the following days, I kept sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the bad factors which prompted his negative actions. Then, I found some time to talk with him again. Meanwhile, my husband had become more composed, so he told me why he was cross: “I left a nest-egg in your country, China, before and was expecting to settle down in China when I am old. However, because you practise Falun Gong, we cannot go back anymore. Therefore, my plan’s all ruined, and my retirement’s been all disturbed. How could I not be angry?” After hearing what he said, I patiently explained to him, “Actually, the problem is not that serious. First of all, I firmly believe that it is impossible for Falun Gong to be repressed forever. All that Dafa practitioners are doing now is to clarify the truth about the illegal persecution of Falun Gong, and to call on all people with a sense of justice in the world to stop it. Secondly, at the moment our children are still little. We have to take care of them. So we can’t settle in China at the moment. We still have to wait a few years anyway. ”My husband calmed down much more, and said in a relaxed way, “In fact, I don’t want to go to China now, either. It’s strange that I was worried so much! Let’s see... we can first settle down here, and then visit your relatives in China in two years time. Anyway, we’ve been there many times. If we can’t settle in China, then, how about going to America?”

I happily agreed with him. As a result, I can study the Fa and do Dafa work now with a peaceful mind.
