(Minghui.org) After my son got married, my daughter-in-law barely smiled or talked to us. She resumed her job two months after giving birth. My son often worked away from home, and my daughter-in-law came home very late. I looked after their baby, cooked the meals, and cleaned the house.
When my granddaughter was four years old, my son told me that he wanted a divorce. I was stunned and asked what happened. He told me that his wife had an affair.
She kept the house after the divorce, and my son and granddaughter lived with me. My now ex-daughter-in-law frequently came to see her daughter. We always felt a little awkward when we met, but Master told us that practitioners must be kind to others and have no enemies. Every time she came, I welcomed her into my home, but she always stood outside and called her daughter to the front door to talk.
She came to visit her daughter in the winter and stood at the door, looking very cold. I asked her to come inside, but she refused. I said, “My dear, come in to have lunch with us. I will make your favorite hot pot.” She looked at me with tears rolling down her face.
My son and daughter-in-law later remarried, and they lived in my house. My daughter-in-law was well behaved at first and was at peace with my son. But two years later, she went back to her old ways. She often went out late and sometimes didn't return home until after midnight or not at all. My son and daughter-in-law began to quarrel again.
I wanted to talk to her, but I was sure she wouldn't listen to me. My mother came and stayed with us for a few days. She said angrily to me, “Your daughter-in-law is too much. You serve her all year round and she has no respect.” I smiled and said nothing.
I always treated my daughter-in-law with the mentality of a cultivator. I look at a person's strengths, not their weaknesses. She was an outstanding employee at work and was good at public speaking. Many people liked her, so I should learn to tolerate her.
I gave her an MP3 player with Master's Fa teachings on it, and said, “This Dafa is a the purest treasure. Would you like to learn it?” She agreed but didn't listen to it. I knew that no matter what shortcomings a person has, as long as they can practice Falun Dafa, Dafa can change them.
My granddaughter came into my room one day and burst into tears. My daughter-in-law followed with a gloomy look on her face. My granddaughter said, “Mom and Dad are going to divorce again.” Before that, my granddaughter secretly told me that her mom was very close to another man.
My daughter-in-law was not bad by nature. She always fed stray cats and gave money to beggars. However, she seemed to have drifted along with the current and didn't know right from wrong. As a Dafa practitioner, I should tell her how to be a good person by following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance so that she would not do bad things and the family would be healed.
I sat down with her and, holding back my tears, I said, “You have lived with me for so many years, and I haven't led you into Dafa cultivation. This is my fault. This Dafa teaches people to be good and helps them to become healthy. I used to be in poor health. If I didn't study Dafa, I probably would have died long ago. We are together in this life, so we should cherish this predestined relationship!
“Think about it, can you be forever young? Your daughter has a very strong affection for you. If you divorce again, she will be depressed, leaving scars in her heart. Are you okay with that?”
My daughter-in-law was silent. I continued, “Read the Dafa books and cultivate with me. This Dafa will help you.”
Although she didn't say anything, I felt her heart was touched. I said, “Listen to Master's Fa teachings I gave to you on the MP3. You will know what it is after you listen.” She nodded in agreement.
Not long after that, my granddaughter quietly told me that her mom was listening to Master's lectures. I was very pleased.
At the beginning of this year, the Wuhan virus began to spread throughout China and around the world. The community where we live was closed, so I asked my son and daughter-in-law to watch Master's Fa lecture videos with me.
When my daughter-in-law started watching, she experienced a lot of interference. She kept fidgeting, going to drink water, and going to the toilet frequently. She managed to calm down two days later and was able to watch with a focused mind.
I told her a lot about my cultivation experiences and how I had benefited from the practice. Over the next few days she experienced symptoms of karma elimination, such as headaches, nausea, a runny nose, etc. After that she felt great.
Master opened her third eye, and she could occasionally see things in other dimensions. She once saw some black, bug-like creatures coming out of her head. After that, she no longer had headaches. She told me, “My body has changed completely. I feel great!”
In less than a month of practicing Falun Dafa, her skin became delicate and smooth. From then on, she never went out late at night and got along well with my son. She also took an interest in her daughter's schoolwork.
My daughter-in-law rarely talked to me before, but now she consults me on everything. She never cleaned the dishes much, but now she washes them all, cleans the house, and does all the other housework.
My daughter-in-law has a smile on her face and sings and jumps like a child. There is joy in her heart. It is Dafa that gave her a new life. Dafa purified her body and raised her moral standards.
When relatives came to my house before, they had a negative opinion of her. But when my sister-in-law's family recently came over for lunch, my sister-in-law said, “How did she become so good?”
I replied, “Falun Dafa can truly change people!” They then wanted to read the Dafa books, too!
