(Minghui.org) I have been practicing Falun Dafa for 20 years and it has changed my life. My family and I have received many benefited from Dafa.
Letting Go of Feelings of Hostility
I am a village kindergarten headmaster. In April 1998, I was beaten by four teachers who were related to the village head and the executive cadre. I was of a very strong personality, but reasonable. But I refused to suffer, especially as I had never been abused by anyone before.
I had always resented the executive cadre because she assigned these incompetent people to work at the kindergarten school. After I was abused, I hated her even more. I had a big fight with her, kicking her door open, and forcing her to the village committees and district offices to seek explanations. I could not eat or sleep well at the time and was even fighting with her in my dreams.
While still quite angry, I met a Falun Dafa practitioner who gave me the book Zhuan Falun. I started practicing Dafa in July 1998. I learned that Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is the characteristic of the universe and, as a practitioner, one must follow these principles.
My moral character improved, I let go of my temper and became more and more tolerant. When I ran into a conflict, I looked inside for any wrongdoing. I even stopped hating those people who beat me and persuaded my family not to seek revenge.
Meanwhile, insomnia, bloating, arthritis and other illnesses that had bothered me for many years disappeared without my resorting to any medication.
Talking to the Neighborhood Committee and Police about Dafa
I submitted a criminal complaint against, Jiang Zemin, the former head of the communist regime, to the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Supreme Court in June 2015.
The neighborhood committee wanted to visit me in August, but I said that I would come by their office. This was an opportunity to let go of fear.
I went to the Falun Dafa study group and my fellow practitioners gave me some advice and helped to clear away any interference. On the way to their office, I was determined to get rid of my fear.
There were two men and two women at the office. They asked me if I practiced Falun Dafa, and I answered, “Yes.” They asked me to sign a guarantee statement that I would quit practicing Falun Dafa.
I told them why I started practicing Falun Dafa, about how I was beaten by coworkers, how the practice improved my moral character, and how I forgave them. I told them, “What kind of person would sign a guarantee to give up Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance?”
I told them not to be scapegoats of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The order of persecuting Falun Dafa was only communicated verbally and was not a law.
I then went to the neighborhood committee with a practitioner. The neighborhood committee asked a policeman to join us, whom I recognized as a district police officer of my neighborhood. I greeted him as if I were his old friend.
The other practitioner and I then talked to them about Dafa. I told them that I sued Jiang to expose the brutal persecution of Falun Dafa. I told them about the karmic retribution incurred by officials involved in the persecution.
I also mentioned two examples of people in my district who participated in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners and that they are currently suffering from illnesses. I said that there is justice in the universe.
I said that there's nothing wrong with practitioners trying to tell people the truth and suing Jiang Zemin, risking themselves of being arrested, beaten, and sentenced to prison.
The other practitioner said, “After practicing Dafa, I recovered from all my illnesses. I’m 74-years-old, and even a young man can’t catch up with me when I walk.”
She continued, “Since I had no money to treat illnesses, I cried a lot in the past and ruined my eyes. I used to wear glasses. Now I no longer need glasses. I had scars all over my face due to smallpox, but they have now disappeared.”
The five people were listening, and the police officer said, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. The world needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.”
The neighborhood committee director wanted me to sign a document to guarantee not to practice Falun Dafa. The police interrupted, “She’s still practicing. She wouldn’t sign it. She’ll be sick if she doesn’t practice. She definitely won’t sign. Don’t ask her to sign.”
My Family Benefited from Dafa
Dafa not only changed my life but also has benefited my family. My husband and daughter believe that Falun Dafa is good. They are healthy and have good jobs.
I have been raising my grandson who’s seven years old now. I always read Zhuan Falun to him. When he ran a fever, I didn’t give him medicine, and asked him to recite, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He always recovered quickly.
My older sister was diagnosed with stomach cancer and had a surgery that cut out three-quarters of her stomach in April 2009. She started practicing Falun Dafa half a month later. It has been over eight years, and she is very healthy now.
My nephew’s wife had uterine fibroids and needed surgery in 2012. She was terrified. I told her to sincerely repeat “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” She only needed a minor surgery and had a very fast recovery.
My brother in law is 73. He had surgery to remove his stomach due to cancer. His health was deteriorating. I told him that only Falun Dafa could save him. From then on, he listened to Master Li’s Fa lectures and watched the exercise video every day. We exercised together and he recovered very quickly,
