In addition to my benefiting both spiritually and physically since beginning the practice of Falun Gong, my family, who understands the truth of Falun Gong, has also received fortunate returns.
I am currently 54 years old. I previously suffered from severe rheumatism and was unable to walk well. Every week I needed to have water drained from my knees, and all of my bones ached. I could not fall asleep at night. My husband and daughter-in-law massaged my legs for me, but my legs still hurt. Day in and day out, I depended on medicine, injections, and an infusion to survive. My husband took me to many doctors for care.
In 1998 an expert at Beijing University Hospital said, "You have severe rheumatism, and no one on earth can treat this disease. You can only rely on painkillers." The doctor's diagnosis was equal to a death penalty. I was so disheartened that I wanted to die.
At this very moment, I was fortunate to be introduced to Falun Dafa. On the seventh day of beginning the practice my body started to experience magical changes. The swelling in my body disappeared, and my arms, legs and hands could all move easily. The color of my lips and face turned from purple to red. I had experienced the miracle of Falun Dafa.
After practicing for two weeks, I felt free of the disease. I even wanted to jump as I walked. I washed clothes for the whole family, including all the bedding and quilts. The more chores I did, the more relaxed I felt. The more chores I did, the more grateful I felt toward Teacher. At last, I was not a burden for my family, and I could even help them. My family was also very happy to see the changes in me. I planned to set up a practice site at home, and my whole family supported me. My eldest son bought a TV set, VCR, and tape recorder for me. He also brought home all of the Falun Dafa books. My husband said, "You practice, and I will help you."
On July 20th, 1999 Jiang's regime began to persecute Falun Gong and as a result, no one came to the practice site tat i looked after to practice the exercises. I was so hurt that I was unable to get out of bed. My family members said, "Now that the government will not let us practice, does Teacher still protect us? Should we go to the hospital?" This question reminded me that I had Teacher and the Falun Gong teachings ot help and guid me, so what was I afraid of? I took out Teacher's lecture recordings, and I listened to the tapes for eight days in a row. On the ninth day I was able to get out of bed, and I felt very light. I understood that to save sentient beings, Teacher taught us to discipline ourselves according to "Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance." There's nothing wrong with that. I also found other practitioners, and we resumed Fa study (study of the Falun Gong teachings) and practiced the exercises. Together we studied the Fa and shared our experiences. We progressed together. Under Teacher's protection, fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts and deeds, and my family's support, our practice site has passed through ups and downs during the past few years.
My family has received good returns for supporting Falun Dafa, and our whole family has been bathed in the illumination of Falun Dafa.
Some of the Good Returns that my Husband has Received
One morning in October of 2000 my husband was suddenly unable to get out of bed. He went to the hospital and the doctor said that his lower vertebral disc was protruding. I told him that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner and that we had a practice site at home and that it would be all right. Our children said, "You practice, but Dad does not." I told my husband what I saw as his two options. First, if he wanted to get completely cured, he needed to cultivate in Falun Dafa. The second option was to go to the hospital to get temporary relief from the pain, but that he could have a relapse. My husband replied, "I will practice with you." This one thought helped him to quickly be restored to good health. After that, he started to adhere to the standards toaught in Falun Dafa. He is still very healthy. On October 20th, 2003, he accidentally fell off the roof, but, even at 220 pounds, he was not injured at all.
The Good Returns My Two Sons Have Experienced
One day in 1998 my two sons drove a truck to purchase goods. On their way back with a full load of goods, they suddenly saw a three-horse wagon in front of them. Immediately my son hit the brakes a few times, but the truck did not stop. He realized that the brakes were not working. At this critical moment my eldest son shouted loudly, "When one practices Falun Gong, the whole family benefits. Our mother practices. Whatever will happen, let it happen." Right before the truck was to hit the wagon, it stopped. My sons got out of the truck and noticed that one of the rear wheels had fallen off. They then went back to look for it, but did not find it. Later, they found it in the roadside grass in front of the car.
The Good Returns my Eldest Son and Daughter-in-law Have Experienced
Early one morning in September 2001 my daughter-in-law went to drop off their child at school. She took the motorcycle. On her way back, two assailants came riding beside her attempting to snatch her wallet. She would not let them take her wallet, and she sped up. The two robbers also sped up. As a result, they crashed. My daughter-in-law was thrown from the motorcycle a distance of about 10 meters. When she got up she found only one scratch on her leg. After the accident she told me, "If you didn't practice Falun Gong, the consequences from my being thrown that far would have been unimaginable."
On January 10th, 2006 my eldest son drove to Zhengzhou. It had just stopped snowing. About half way to his destination, he suddenly lost control of the car. The car started to spin in the middle of the road, but he did not panic. He touched the Dafa truth-clarifying card that he kept with him at all times. The car suddenly slid to the roadside ravine and stopped in a small ditch. The other people in the car were terrified. My son said, "Don't worry. I have Falun Dafa as my protective shield."
My Granddaughter's Good Returns
In December of 2004 my granddaughter was born premature, and the situation was very serious. She needed blood and oxygen. After a five-day treatment, she still could not take in milk. The doctor said, "There's almost no hope. Even if she survives, she will be retarded." My daughter-in-law's family almost wanted to give up on her, but I did not agree and said, "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Don't worry. She is a human being. If she has one breath, we should still try to rescue her."
Together with fellow practitioners, we sent-forth righteous thoughts and asked Teacher to strengthen us. On the eighth day the baby drank 30 ml. of milk, and fifteen days later she was taken out of the incubator. As soon as we got home, I played Teacher's lectures for the baby to help protect her.
After the 2006 New Year, my daughter-in-law was carrying the baby with her when she accidentally fell and the baby flew out of her arms. The baby bumped against a car and then fell to the ground. My daughter-in-law was so horrified that she was speechless, yet fortunately the one-year-old baby was not hurt at all.
Now my granddaughter can talk. Whenever she passes by Teacher's portrait, she says, "Grandpa," as if she's very familiar with Teacher.
There are no words that I can use to express my gratitude to Teacher. My family and I put our hearts into one sentence, "Falun Dafa is great! Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa!" We hope that all of the kind-hearted people in the world come to know the truth of Falun Dafa!
