(Clearwisdom.net) My husband's older sister practiced Falun Dafa for a short while but stopped when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting practitioners in 1999. Afterward, she developed heart disease and a serious thyroid gland disorder. In the last couple of years, she acquired new health problems in addition to the ones she already had. She developed benign tumors in her internal organs, often felt irritable and agitated, had headaches, and suffered from insomnia. Her temperament changed and her family couldn't tolerate her. They said she was morbid.
Last year after renovating their home, they discovered that she had heart disease and was in critical condition. Her heart palpitated, she felt suffocated and took big breaths, gasping for air. These symptoms manifested when she encountered certain odors or was tired. She had all kinds of examinations, but the doctors at the hospital couldn't find anything wrong with her. They merely said that she was sensitive and had allergic reactions. They said all she could do was to take medication to relieve her symptoms. When she went to visit her son, who lived out of town, her illnesses flared up again.
I urged her to start practicing Falun Dafa again. She is a good and decent person and can bear hardship. She always had a favorable impression of Falun Dafa and protected other Dafa disciples. However, due to the evil environment in her local area, she flinched when I suggested this. Her husband was a CCP official and had misgivings about her practicing.
Her illness was very serious and in my own mind I was clear that only Dafa could help her. I had urged her to begin practicing again several times before, without any results. This time I didn't call her; I asked Master to help her. I was quite surprised when my husband and her son, neither of whom practice Falun Dafa, urgently recommended that she practice again. My husband called her and said: “You should improve your character. Come to my home now and study the Fa with my wife.” He also asked me to call her and invite her over. Her father also encouraged her and said, “Practicing Falun Dafa is good.” Her son, pained by her condition, anxiously said: “Mom, haven't you seen my aunt and her fellow practitioners? They have a really good mental outlook. Haven't you seen them? Hurry up and start studying the Fa. You've gone to many hospitals and seen many specialists, and nothing has worked. What alternatives do you have?”
My sister-in-law felt that there was no hope from the medical field. She became determined to practice after her life's dreams were shattered due to such serious illness. Her husband and son brought her to my home.
It was exactly like what Master described in his lectures. On the third day, she started to have reactions. She felt nauseated and had diarrhea that lasted throughout the week. She had symptoms wherever she had illness before. Her fingers became rigid where she had arthritis. Her joints became hot and numb when she studied the Fa. Then her hands gradually became soft. She knew that she was eliminating karma and illness, and that Master was taking care of her. She had faith that she could get through this. Her mental state changed day by day. In the first two nights she was in my home, she was on oxygen and slept poorly. She couldn't sleep past 3 a.m. Later on, she slept past 7 a.m. and claimed that she had never slept so soundly. After so many years of suffering, she no longer had insomnia. For the first few days she didn't dare to walk around; she just lay in a prostrate position. By the fifth day, she helped me to prepare meals and watched Shen Yun DVD with me.
The most miraculous thing was that she improved her xinxing. She used to be agitated, irritable, and stirred up a lot of conflicts within the family. She demanded too much of her elderly father, was always managing him, and angered him. Everyone tried to kindly point this out to her, but she insisted that she was right. I encouraged her to study the Fa more, give up her attachments, follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and change her attitude toward her family. During a dream, Master gave her a hint to treat her father kindly. When she woke up, she regretted her actions and cried bitterly. She understood that she had been wrong and was determined to change herself. She quickly made a big improvement.
We did the exercises together. She studied the Fa by herself. When we had the time, I told her stories about other Dafa practitioners and how some had successfully opposed the persecution. I told her about the Fa-rectification in China and abroad. I encouraged her to send forth righteous thoughts. She could feel the righteous energy throughout her body in the course of cultivating. She felt very lively for the first time in her life. Her complexion improved day by day.
Her husband came 10 days later to take her to their son's home. He was amazed to see how much she had changed. She was calm and peaceful. He had been worried about taking a train with her, but his misgivings about her poor health were completely gone after watching her for a day. They went shopping and strolled about for a long time, and she was still energetic. When she had come to my home, she walked with a limp and wore a breathing mask, she needed two people to support her, and her complexion was sallow. When she left, she carried a backpack, she laughed and talked, and her complexion was rosy. She and her family experienced the miracles of Dafa and were overjoyed. This is the mighty power of Master and Dafa.
She has been very energetic ever since she returned home. Master has looked after her. Whenever I've talked to her, she's said that she is doing really well. Thank you, Master, for helping her return to Dafa!
Master cherishes and looks after all sentient beings. Everyone has a predestined relationship with Dafa. Master gives us the best. Trusting in Master and Dafa is the best choice a sentient being can make.
