(Minghui.org) I noticed something abnormal when I checked my daughter’s mouth while she was brushing her teeth. I took her to the dentist, and he recommended to extract a few extra teeth after seeing the X-ray.

I was a bit surprised and didn’t think it was necessary. I remembered reading young practitioners’ articles regarding tooth issues, and I decided to have my daughter study the Fa more.

My daughter used to study the Fa on and off, and I rarely supervised her since I was busy. She was young and liked to play, and just went through the motions when reading Dafa books.

Perhaps she sensed the seriousness of the matter and became more obedient. She listened to the lectures everyday, and told the teeth to grow where they should.

I searched inward and found some attachments. I was competitive, argumentative, and didn’t cultivate my speech. They were like the teeth that grew in places where they shouldn’t. I told myself to stop arguing, and getting upset easily.

I reminded my daughter to look inward and not argue with other children. She came home one day and told me, “A classmate scolded me, but I didn’t talk back. I think he gave me virtue.” She truly remembered Master Li’s words.

A thought crossed my mind days later, “Perhaps the X-ray image was an illusion. I should take my daughter to another dental clinic.” The dentist said there was no need to pull out the teeth or perform a dental surgery.

I realized then that the “extra teeth” was an illusion to see if I could enlighten to the Fa. I was worried that if my daughter didn’t cultivate well, she would not be able to go home with Master. Thus, I kept sending forth righteous thoughts and asked Master for help.

When I encountered problems in the past, I failed to look at the issue from the perspective of cultivation. This time I learned that cultivation is the key that turns bad things into good things. By memorizing the Fa and searching inward, I understood the meaning of “… Eating bitterness treated as joy ...” (“Tempering One’s Heart and Will,” Hong Yin)

It is important to have righteous thoughts and think of Master in times of trouble. Thank you, Master, for your compassionate protection and arrangement!
