My Whole Family Is Now Immersed in the Buddha's Light

I would like to take the opportunity of the 11th anniversary of "World Falun Dafa Day" to share the happiness and joy that Dafa has brought to my whole family and tell the entire world that Falun Dafa is good!

I was born in a poor family and had been sick since childhood. My husband's family is also poor. My husband was an alcoholic and often beat me and verbally abused me when he was drunk. My three children were weak and easily became ill. I cried almost every day.

I had to go to the hospital every few days to get injections or medication. I had a headache on one side of my head and could not open my eyes. I could not stand the sunlight. I had an infection in my uterus. I had so much pain in my abdomen that I could hardly stand up. I had massive uterine hemorrhage for about six months. I had mammary gland proliferation and inflamed tonsils for more than a month. Occasionally, I would spit up blood. In addition to all my physical miseries, there were always conflicts among our relatives. I felt so depressed that I thought about suicide several times. I would literally shout, "Why me?" Why did I suffer so much? Who could rescue me?

In 1997, my eldest son fell down in the restroom and fractured his skull. When he was about ten months old, he was traumatized by my drunken husband. Afterward, he had loose bowels about five times a night, and he frequently had convulsions. Whenever he suffered a relapse, I worried for his life.

After returning from another province to have our eldest son treated, the youngest son fell and injured his arm. Several days later, my daughter had her first period, but she bled nonstop. Her face turned yellow and we went to all the local hospitals seeking help. Then the youngest son began to feel a constriction in his chest. He was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at the county hospital. The doctor suggested that we take him to Jinan City for treatment. This news was like a clap of thunder on a sunny day. I was petrified with worry. A life like that is hard to sustain.

The night before going to Jinan City, I knelt down in the yard to offer incense to Buddha. I had tried before to seek divine help and blessings from Buddha. I prayed to meet a qigong master who could cure diseases right away. At that time, I lived in the remote countryside, and I had never heard about Falun Gong. In the depths of my misery, I made an ardent plea to gods and Buddhas to please have pity on me and help me find someone to save my child.

That night I had a dream: A door opened on the northeast side of the house. There was a large vegetable garden. All the plants looked luxuriant and laden with produce. In the lotus pond, the lotus leaves looked verdant. As soon as I woke up, I knew that I had had a good dream and that it indicated that I would have good fortune in Jinan City and I would meet someone highly skilled.

After we arrived in Jinan, we stayed in the hostel across from the hospital. The guard at the front door of the hostel happened to be an old friend of mine. He suggested that I learn Falun Gong. That was the first time I heard the name. But how could I concentrate on studying when my child was sick? He brought a copy of Zhuan Falun to me, but I could not calm down enough to read a single word.

I couldn't accept the first diagnosis, so I went to a second hospital in Shandong Province. There were so many patients waiting to be seen that it took two days from the time we registered to time he was examined. I was very worried. I told the doctor, "I'm from a county about 600 miles away. School is on break now. Can you see us this morning?" The doctor said, "I come from the same county. I'll do it right away." After she was done, she went to get a confirmation from a specialist. The specialist seemed to be waiting for us. He said, "Don't be afraid! No need for open-chest surgery. A small incision will do." My heart suddenly relaxed.

Later, after I obtained the Fa, I understood that everything had been arranged by Master to help me find Dafa.

After my heart was set free from worrying about my son, when I returned and passed by his door, I asked my friend, "Let me read the book you recommended." I opened China Falun Gong (Revised edition). I exclaimed, "Wow, this is the living Buddha!" I took the book back to the hostel and read it eagerly. Every word enlightened me and shook my heart. I read so anxiously that my eyes hurt. I wanted to read it completely. This is exactly what I had been searching for!

As I read, I said to myself, "I will listen to Master and no long create any karma. I must become a good person." Right away, I felt my heart lighten and I breathed more easily. I instantly felt jolted out of the mundane world. That was September 22. I will remember that happy day forever.

That day I learned the exercises from my friend. On the second day around 4:00 a.m., I went with him to the practice site at Thousand Buddha Mountain. The assistant allowed me to bring my child and husband with her family to listen to Master's Jinan Lecture. While I sat on the mat and listened to Master lecture, I felt that I was lifted up. My child was ten years old at that time. He said that he understood everything. He wished to practice Falun Dafa. However, his dad insisted that he have the surgery, so we filed the hospital application. We handed over the 3000 yuan deposit. I had just begun studying the Fa and didn't know what to do, so I went to talk with the assistant. She told me some of the miracles that had happened to other practitioners. While she talked, I was crying. She said that the Fa would save those who are predestined. My heart shook, and I wept. Three assistants came in the evening. I stood up abruptly and said, "No surgery! I'll withdraw the deposit tomorrow." I placed all my trust in Master.

On the second day, we withdrew our deposit, and my husband brought the Dafa books home. My child and I stayed at the hostel in order to practice. On the third day of listening to Master's Jinan Lecture, my child told me that he felt something turning in his lower abdomen. His chest no longer felt constricted, and he even easily ran up and down the stairs. He was so happy and kept saying, "Master cured me. I am getting better and better, day after day. I feel that I have improved rapidly. Everything looks nice to me. Everyone seems nice to me. I feel that I am in Heaven!"

After I finished Master's Jinan Lecture, I learned how to do the five exercises. The assistant also gave me copies of all the published Dafa books. As soon as I returned home, my daughter told me that after she read Zhuan Falun, she became healthy and got rid of all the medicines she had been taking. My eldest son was also in good spirits. This was the first time in my life that I could remember experiencing real happiness and peace.

In just seven short days, my whole family turned from living in sadness to joy, from misfortune to blessings. The change was so dramatic! I thought, "Master, you rescued my entire family from hell to heaven. I have to practice hard and tell everyone I know about Dafa so that more people can benefit." Since then, whenever anyone is at home, you can hear someone reading Master's lecture or playing the exercise music.

My whole family is immersed in the Buddha's light. No pain. No worry. No sadness. Only laughter and happy conversation. "Mom, did you maintain your xinxing (heart and mind nature, character) today?" or, "Today I wanted to bring a few papers back for you to use. However, I thought about Master's Fa right away, so I put them back." or, "My friend hit me, but I didn't hit back. They scolded me, but I didn't scold them back. I am very happy." My children and I diligently study the Fa and practice the exercises. We've become more and more healthy, both mentally and physically.

My neighbours, co-workers, and friends hold me in high esteem. They all praise the miracle of Falun Gong - not just for curing diseases but, most importantly, for guiding us to cultivate ourselves to be better persons.

Some of our relatives heard about the amazing changes we experienced and came to us to learn Dafa. My home became a practice site. Every night, from 12 to more than 20 people came to study and practice. Every Sunday and holiday, someone came to learn about Falun Gong. When many more people joined, we established an exercise site in the village and started exercising every morning at 4:00 a.m. Because it was located at the market, even people that lived far away quickly learned about Falun Gong.

There are five people in the family of one of my granddaughter's distant relations. They were all sick, constantly going to the hospital. They had sought help everywhere. The three children had asthma, and no medicine could release them from their pain. Her husband had colitis. He dared not eat watermelon or other fruit. He was so weak that he could not work. The doctor said that no medicine could cure him. My granddaughter suffered from constant, excruciating stomach pain. Once her husband heard that my family all recovered after practicing Falun Gong, he sent her over to have me introduce Dafa to her.

My granddaughter could not read or write, but she understood the Fa by listening to the lectures. She praised it again and again. She took her husband to study with her. After only six or seven days, Master cleansed his body. Her husband had continuous bowel movements for several days. Her parents-in-law were concerned and asked him to go to the hospital. However, they knew what was going on. He studied the Fa and totally recovered. He could eat and drink whatever he wanted. He could eat watermelon and any other fruit. More than a month later, he glowed with health. Her three children recovered from their asthma. They told their dad, "Because you practice, Master is also taking care of us. We are benefiting from your practicing."

Now my family is very happy. My three children are very healthy and live well. My eldest son has already married and had a son. My grandson is intelligent and adorable. As soon as he could talk, he could say, "Dafa is good." On holidays my husband burns incense and prepares delicious food and places it in front of Master's image out of respect. He even holds our grandson's hands to kowtow to Master.

Master has saved my life. I am not able to thank Master enough. What can I do to pay back Master for his graciousness? I can only listen to his words, assimilate to Dafa's principles, and tell others about Dafa so that they can benefit.
