(Minghui.org) Three elderly ladies in our town have become well known and highly respected for bravely upholding and sharing their belief. They frequently travel to other villages, telling the people about Falun Dafa and helping whenever needed.
The three women – Ms. Ma, Ms. Wu and Ms. Li (not their actual surnames) – started practicing Falun Dafa in 1999. Ms. Ma, then 50, suffered from a frozen shoulder, atrophic gastritis, and had problems falling asleep. After practicing Dafa, she recovered from all of her ailments.
Ms. Wu had practiced another qigong before and had even witnessed people levitating during meditation. However, after hearing about Falun Dafa, she recognized the goodness of the practice and knew that it would help her advance in her cultivation faster. She decided to practice Dafa exclusively.
Once, Ms. Wu found 2,000 yuan outside her door. Following Dafa's teachings, she looked for the owner and returned the money.
However, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) banned Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999, out of fear of losing power, as the Party felt that too many people practiced it. Under the severe pressure of the persecution, the three ladies stopped practicing.
Over 10 years later, in 2010, they began to practice Dafa again. These women used to be illiterate, but they now can read Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa.
Ms. Li came down with shingles shortly after she returned to Dafa cultivation. However, she simply ignored it and the shingles disappeared within a short time.
The three ladies have gone from village to village in their area to clarify the truth about Dafa and the persecution. They freely talk to everyone, be it at the farmer's market, construction sites, or in rural villages.
They started by distributing informational materials about Dafa. Then they began to talk to people face to face about this cultivation practice. They told people about the crimes the CCP has committed and advised them to quit the Party, explaining that when the CCP is eliminated, they too would face the same fate if they were still a Party member.
Some people did not understand the truth. Some called the police to report them, some harassed them, and others even tried to do them physical harm. But these ladies were unharmed every time.
Things have changed over the years and now more and more people understand Dafa. Nowadays, some people call out “Falun Dafa is good!” upon seeing the three practitioners. Some stop their cars and ask for help quitting the Party, some ask for Dafa books, and others offer them lunch.
A successful local businessman once told Ms. Ma's son at a wedding, “Your mother is a famous person in our county. She goes from village to village and helps people understand Dafa.”
There was a villager who could not eat, so she asked Ms. Ma for help. Ms. Ma told her to recite the words “Falun Dafa is good.” This person later told Ms. Ma that after she recited “Falun Dafa is good” for an hour every day, she could eat again.
On one occasion when the three ladies went to a barber shop, they met a deputy secretary of the CCP. The deputy secretary verbally abused them. They remained calm and mentioned that good begets good and evil begets karmic retribution.
The practitioners told the deputy secretary that high ranking officials who are investigated and detained for corruption in China nowadays are actually facing retribution for their persecution of Falun Dafa. The deputy secretary understood and quit the Party.
