(Minghui.org) A Dafa practitioner's father became seriously ill in April last year, and was unable to get out of bed. As all the sisters in the family are Falun Gong practitioners, so they took turns reading Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa, to him. Their father got better and better as the days went by, and he was eventually able to get up and walk. The daughters bought a digital player for their father to listen to Master's Fa-Teaching in Jinan, which helped him to completely recover by August. However, their father spent the rest of his time playing cards, and dared not tell people the reason for his recovery for fear that his family members might be persecuted. He got sick again in October, even more serious this time. Right before he passed away, he asked for Zhuan Falun and shouted “Falun Dafa is good” with his last breath.
Another Dafa practitioner's father had cancer. After studying Falun Dafa, his sickness disappeared. When feeling comfortable, he stopped studying the Fa, and did nothing else but play cards to kill time. Other people asked him why he had gotten well so fast, but he didn't have the courage to say it was all because of practicing Falun Gong. When a fellow practitioner asked him to continue reading the Fa, he even said, “I don't dare to read it again, because my oldest son is still serving in the army—I am afraid that his future might be affected.” Soon, his sickness relapsed. When he was dying, he realized that Dafa is precious, but it was too late.
Older people can face a problem when learning Dafa. In Zhuan Falun Teacher said,
“There is a criterion, however, that the life prolonged beyond your predestined time to live is completely reserved for your practice. If your mind goes wrong a little bit, your life will be in danger because your lifetime should have long been over.” (Zhuan Falun)
Therefore, it is very dangerous for older people to not validate the Fa after obtaining it. When an ordinary person who is seriously ill gets cured, he or she would express gratitude and tell others about the cure, whereas when Dafa thoroughly cured these persons, they didn't even dare to tell others about it.
This also reflects the fact that some Dafa practitioners do not do enough truth clarification with their loved ones when they are only concerned about recovering. They don't make clear the relationship of loss and gain as described in the Falun Dafa teachings. Dafa practitioners should continue clarifying the truth to their relatives and loved ones, because they are not only sentient beings, but also good assistants for doing well the three things.
