(Minghui.org) I am a poor old lady with two sons. My oldest son was always fighting with others and my younger one was lazy and abused drugs. They were both in and out of jail. My family was dysfunctional and we fought constantly. My husband ended up committing suicide. People shunned our entire family, all because of my two sons. I was so depressed and I cried in front of my husband's grave, wishing that I could go with him.
One day, my older son brought a gentle and quiet girl to our home. She smiled a lot and was quite easy going. She was very helpful around the house and it was hard to believe that such a nice girl would want to join this poor family. She began to visit us quite often and I thought there might be a chance they would marry and I would get to be a grandmother. Since then, I have been very happy. Of course, I don't want to die any more.
One day, she unexpectedly told me that it would be good for me if I recited the words, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good! Falun Dafa is Good!” She also gave me informational materials about Falun Dafa and suggested that I quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I realized that she was a Falun Dafa practitioner! Because I had been poisoned by the CCP media, I became very angry with her. I cursed at her and threw all the materials on the floor. I shouted at her and told her to go away or I would call the police. Then, I turned to fight with my son and criticized him for having a Falun Dafa practitioner as his girlfriend. She just looked at me silently and calmly. She sat down in a meditation position and I didn't know what to do next.
My son begged me not to be angry. He said, “Look, I don't fight with others anymore and I haven't bothered you either. I have become quite calm and my health is better. I was highly praised by my company because I now work more efficiently and responsibly. You worried about both me and my brother your whole life, but we didn't think of you at all. You are sick and yet have to ask others for money. I know your tough situation. I am working hard now because I want you to enjoy your life in retirement.”
His behavior and honest words made me cry. He had become so considerate, honest and warm. I asked him how he was able to change? I told him that it was probably because he learned to be positive from his good partner! My son responded, “I have changed so much because I remember in my heart that 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good! Falun Dafa is Good!' I don't want to hurt others. My girlfriend has helped me to withdraw from the CCP and its related organizations.”
It was hard to believe that these few words could change my son! Were these words really that powerful? My son told me, “I usually repeat this words whenever there is danger and I am fine. My colleagues say that I am very energetic. You are old now and your safety and health are precious. Please remember 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good! Falun Dafa is Good!' You hurt my girlfriend with your angry words, but do you know her only concern was for you? I must have had great virtue in my previous life to meet such a great person.” My son continued, “She practices Falun Dafa. You shouted at her just now, but she didn't fight back. Can you find a person such as this in society today?” “Falun Dafa's principles educated me. Was my previous behavior like this? I brought this girl home and I want to be married, but you treat her like this. Previously I would fight with you about this no matter what. I think that if I married her, that would bring us both virtue. Will you support me in my choice of a wife?”
I said to my son, “I am old. I have been deceived by the CCP most of my life. I followed what the CCP said, so I didn't educate you well.” “Falun Dafa is good! And it has changed you!” My son told me, “I bear your curse right now, but I would like to change my way of thinking. That is due to the power of Dafa.” “My girlfriend practices Falun Dafa and this benefits our whole family. If we don't believe 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is Good! Falun Dafa is Good!', how can we fix our poor and broken family? You always cried and complained to my father about our problems. If you really cared about him, you would have helped him to withdraw from the CCP and its related parties.” I felt very guilty and now I finally understood. I apologized to him and his girlfriend. She really was a good person and had brought a positive influence to our whole family.
