About six months ago, when my colleague was very happy over the publication of her paper, her research topic being approved, and her promotion, she was diagnosed as suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis. In the initial stage of her illness, she was able to face it with a calm mind and to take actions with a positive attitude. The head of the department in the specialised hospital, her classmate, told her, "Don't worry, you will be fine soon."
Several months passed by, but she was still as sick as before. The illness made her irritable and restless. She even thought of taking her own life. One day, being extremely anguished, she called the head of the department and said that she wanted to take her own life. The head of the department immediately looked for a psychiatrist for her. With help from her colleagues, her emotional state got a little better. Several more months passed, and her health changed for the better slightly, but her sickness still remained for the most part. Her mental state started to deteriorate as time went on. When she was irritable and restless because of not being able to fall asleep, she often woke up her husband and said: "I'm not sleeping, so you shall not sleep either." Her husband said to her, "If we continue like this, I will be the one suffering from a mental illness instead of you." Gradually, her husband began to stay out all night. One day, she decided that she did not want her son reading a martial arts novel. She grabbed the book from him and tore it into pieces. Her son was frightened and trembled in fear. After a while, the son's fear turned into anger. He walked over and tore the newspaper in her hands into pieces. The bad emotions began to spread. She quarrelled with her mother and said hateful things to her dying father-in-law, who was in the late stages of cancer.
One day, she came to me and spoke about her misfortune. After hearing her out, I started to talk about the beauty of Falun Dafa. She was skeptically at first. Gradually, I told her about my relatives' miraculous changes after sincerely saying, "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good."
Soon after returning home, I received a call from her. She told me, "It was great. I said it three times on the way home. As soon as I got home, I greeted my son with a peaceful heart. My son responded with a smile that I have not seen for a long time."
After several days, I got a call from her again. She said: "These three characters, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, are truly great. They have led to inconceivable changes in my life. I really want to post those characters everywhere." Her voice was full of excitement and appreciation, "Falun Dafa is truly great!"
