My Mother's Smiling Face

Feb. 28, 2011 |   By the daughter of a Dafa practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) Since as far back as I can remember, my mother has suffered from various diseases. Later she suffered from comprehensive traumatic brain injury syndrome as a result of a car accident. Tortured by her diseases, she was irritable and often cursed at people and threw things. My father and I had to be very careful and tried not to irritate her. My father would rather drink alcohol than go home. After school, I preferred to wander around with classmates than go home. We had very few friends and relatives and my classmates were all afraid of coming to my home because they were all scared of my mother. If my mother smiled a little bit, my father and I would be happy for several days. I wished I could be a doctor when I grew up to help all mothers who suffer from diseases; I wanted to see smiles on their faces.

  I will never forget the day when my mother revealed her long-lost smile. She put me in her arms and told me gladly that her best friend Aunt Zhang told her some great news. There is a cultivation practice that can cure all her diseases. My mother had been in bed for more than half a year due to a lumbar disc protrusion. It was very painful for her to go to the restroom and put on clothes. I knew that Aunt Zhang had been very weak after her uterine cancer surgery. We were worried that she might die very soon, but she is now a totally new person with a ruddy complexion, high spirits and all her diseases gone. Hearing mother's description, my father and I fully supported my mother's wish to practice.

It was this day that I learned there is such a wonderful practice as Falun Dafa. When I first heard the exercise music, I felt it brought me a totally different feeling and made me feel cleansed. It was the happiest I had ever seen my mother. She and her fellow practitioners are all kind people. They help my mother enthusiastically, explain the principles to my mother patiently and encourage my mother. My mother also notices changes in herself every day. She has become happier and speaks more softly. One day, my mother told my father and I with tears that she regretted what she had done before. She said that she only cared about herself and didn't pay attention to our feelings. “I am so selfish and I lose virtue every day. Therefore I have suffered so many hardships. I realized that I was wrong after reading Master's book. I finally found my way home.”

My dear mother has truly renewed her maternal place in the family and has experienced a new life from practicing Falun Dafa cultivation. Dafa saved my mother from various diseases and also saved a family that was about to break up. That was my happiest time in my life. My mother and other practitioners practiced Falun Gong, sharing experiences together. They promoted the Fa together and helped those people who need it. My family atmosphere is full of happiness and harmony. A lot of people came to ask my mother what caused the huge change. My mother told them that there is such a wonderful Dafa that saves hundreds and thousands people. My mother also said that she would tell everyone such wonderful things so more people would benefit. Many people have joined my mother to practice after witnessing the amazing changes in her.

I am so proud of my new mother. I love Dafa and my mother's smile from cultivating Dafa. I hope all the children in this world can have their mothers cultivate Dafa. Master gave us all of them and he is the great benefactor of our family.

This is my first submission. It is also my wish to write down the story of my family to let more people know the wonder of Falun Dafa.
