I have a relative who was a general when he was in the military service. In order to offer him salvation and an opportunity to assimilate to Dafa, I tried several approaches to clarify the facts to him. I also told him about the spiritual and physical changes in me after I started cultivation. He witnessed the miracles of Dafa in me and in his own experiences after he started to believe in Dafa and Master.
Maintaining my spiritual status of a cultivator, always thinking of others, and always behaving according to the standard of a cultivator has won respect from my relatives and friends, and it also helped the general to have the right view of Dafa and practitioners. As a practitioner during the Fa rectification period, I have worked hard to offer salvation to others with compassion and to clarify the facts well. The general gradually understood that Dafa was good and also started to gain a clear understanding about the Chinese Communist Party after reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.
One time the general's wife told me, "Our living room has been rearranged, and the picture of the general and Jiang (Zemin) shaking hands has been taken down and destroyed." I felt very happy for them after hearing about this. I felt happy for the general and his family for choosing a bright future for themselves.
Another time, when many relatives gathered for a party at a restaurant, and everyone was toasting each other, the general stood up and said solemnly to the three of us practitioners, "I would like to propose a toast for your Master, I wish him health and all the best!"
In 2008, the general went to the hospital for surgery. I went to Beijing visit him while he was in the hospital. Before I left for Beijing (the 28th of that month), I added one thought when I was sending righteous thoughts at 6:00 a.m., "Clear away all the evil elements and dark minions who interfere with the general's recovery." When I arrived in Beijing, the first question the son and wife of the general asked me was, "Did you send any energy at 6:00 a.m. on the morning of the 28th? We [the general] felt it!" I told them, "Yes, I sent righteous thoughts exactly at that time!"
The general's wife told me that at 6:00 a.m. on the 28th, the second day after the surgery, the general was still hooked up with many tubes and not out of danger. At that time he suddenly woke up and sat up. He looked all over his body and murmured, "Falun Gong, Falun Gong..." He even mentioned Master's name. He sat there murmuring. At the same time, he removed all the tubes and needles. The doctors and nurses got agitated and asked him to let them connect them back, but he said, "No need, the Master of Falun Gong came. I am healed, and there is no pain at all." The general went back home six days after quite a serious surgery.
When we gave him the book Zhuan Falun to read, he accepted it gladly. He said that he would read it, and he asked for Master's lecture audio. The general told us afterwards that he listened to Master's lectures three times continuously, and then he read Zhuan Falun again, and that he understood much better.
