(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa can improve people’s moral standards and help them be kinder. It can resolve conflicts and resentments and help people abandon bad thoughts about others. There have been so many instances of how Dafa has blessed them. Here are a few examples to show how wonderful Falun Dafa is.

“If I’d Known This Before, I Wouldn’t Have Started the Fire”

In 2001, I was illegally detained because of my belief in Falun Dafa. There was an elderly lady in the same cell who was from the countryside and was almost 70 years old. The reason for her detention was that she’d set her neighbor’s pile of firewood on fire on a windy day because she suspected that her neighbor stole her son’s bike. The fire spread rapidly, and it was very difficult to put out.

The police investigated and discovered that she was the one who’d started it. But she didn’t think she was wrong and said to the police, “I only started the fire because they stole from us.” She was very stubborn, and the police couldn’t convince her that it was wrong. They told her that arson was one of the most serious crimes and that she might be sentenced to prison for it. She was very frightened and frequently cried.

She was emaciated and didn’t have enough clothes for the weather. She had jaundice and was very malnourished. I felt very sorry for her, and I often gave her my food. I also gave her my new sweater. She was very grateful. Others in the cell also said that Falun Dafa practitioners were the kindest people.

I often tried to guide her. I told her that it was wrong for her to start the fire. I explained that people should do good deeds, follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be a good person, and thereby accumulate virtue. I said that one should repay grievances with kindness. That way, our minds will be healthy and the world would be a more beautiful place. On the other hand, doing evil deeds to seek revenge will be punished, and one will receive retribution according to one’s karma. Despite her stubbornness, she eventually changed. She said, “If I’d known this back then, I wouldn’t have started the fire.” I told her about the beauty of Falun Dafa and that anyone who believes in Dafa will be blessed. She listened to me and agreed.

Gradually, she became more energetic. She had a good dream in which she climbed up to the sky via a tall pole and saw bright stars in the sky. After a short while, she was released and allowed to return home. Before she left, she cried and thanked me again and again, and repeatedly invited me to her home.

“Don’t Worry About Me, I’m with Two Falun Dafa Practitioners”

In the winter of 2009, a fellow practitioner and I were arrested for clarifying the truth and put in a detention center. It was very cold, and the doors and windows of our cell leaked. So all the others in the cell fought for the beds near the center of the cell. The blankets were very thin, and when the cell wasn’t full, everyone else fought over the extra blankets on the empty beds. But we never did that. When a newcomer was brought in in the middle of the night, we tried to help her find a bed and blanket. If she was in a bad mood, we tried to comfort her and clarify the truth to her. Many people became more kind after understanding the truth, and thus everyone got along well.

Many people threw away the cornflour buns they couldn’t finish by flushing them down the toilet. The other practitioner and I tried to tell them not to waste food, but they didn’t take it seriously. We always returned any leftover cornflour buns to the cafeteria, and they used them to feed the pigs. One time, the toilet got clogged because too many buns had been flushed. People complained and got angry with each other. I knew that, as a cultivator, I should be a good person in every situation. So I rolled up my sleeves and took out everything clogging up the toilet with my hands. That made everyone happy. Two days later, it happened again, and I took the buns out again without complaint. I then again suggested that everyone stop wasting food and only take as much as they could eat, because it was a crime to waste food. After that, they stopped throwing food in the toilet, started to take less from the cafeteria, and began to return what they couldn’t finish to the cafeteria. The guards were very happy and said this had never happened before.

Everyone in the cell liked to listen to us explain the truth about Falun Dafa. They also liked to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” with us, to sing Dafa songs, and to recite Hong Yin with us. They all benefited physically and mentally. Many people were touched by everything we did. They said they never knew that Dafa was so great and that what was on TV was all lies. They also said they wouldn’t have committed their crimes if they had known Dafa’s principles. They promised to follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be good people from then on.

One elderly lady was very bold and reckless. Her family was very rich, but she just refused to repay her debts. The creditor got angry and took her to court, landing her in the detention center. Because she had a bad temper, her family was worried about her. When they came to see her, they were surprised to see that she was even more energetic than when she was home. She told them, “Don’t worry about me. I’m with two Falun Dafa practitioners. They are such great people, and all they do is tell people to be good. We have all learned to be good. Falun Dafa was wronged. Its practitioners are all great people. I’m now learning the Dafa exercises with them.” The guard there also smiled.

All the others in the cell respected us. As soon as there was a newcomer, someone would tell her to listen to us first, because they had all personally witnessed and experienced that one would be blessed after learning the truth.

“I’ll Be Released When I Have Memorized All 72 Poems in Hong Yin”

A young lady was detained for counterfeiting, and the investigators wanted to have her sentenced. We told her about the importance of moral character and that one would be blessed for following the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. She understood and was determined to practice Dafa after getting out, to be a good person, and to stop doing anything illegal. We told her that if she sincerely wanted to practice Dafa, miracles would happen, and Dafa’s Master will help her reduce her karma and resolve her troubles.

She had very good enlightenment quality and wanted to recite Hong Yin with us right away. We told her that there were 72 poems in Hong Yin. She said, “I came here to learn Dafa. I’ll be released after I have memorized all 72 poems in Hong Yin.” We were all very happy for her.

She memorized the poems every day. She also tried to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. For example, she took care of a lot of the workload in the cell, and she smiled and never complained no matter how hard or dirty the work was. Dafa purified her heart and reduced her karma. She became a totally different person and was pure, kind, and beautiful. Seeing the changes in her, everyone recited Hong Yin and tried to share the workload in the cell. The cell became very peaceful, and even the guards were friendly to us.

Just as the young lady memorized the last poem in Hong Yin, the big iron gate of the cell opened. The guard came in and told her to pack her belongings and go home. Everyone in the cell witnessed the miracle of Falun Dafa. From then on, everyone studied the Fa, and they all received blessings and went home earlier.

“If I Hadn’t Learned about Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to Be a Good Person, I Really Don’t Know What Would Have Happened When I Went Home”

One night, a lady in her 30s from a rural area was put into the cell. She was angry. We soon found out that she had long-term conflicts with her father-in-law, so she beat him and her family reported her. She was going to be detained for 15 days.

Being detained is a disgraceful thing, so she gritted her teeth and cursed her father-in-law. She vowed to take revenge on him after she got out and even said she would kill him. Someone in the cell said to her, “You can’t make more mistakes! Look at the two Falun Dafa practitioners. They have been treated unfairly, but they never swear at others. Falun Dafa practitioners are good people, and the Tiananmen self-immolation incident was staged.” Everyone told her the truth about Falun Dafa. We also told her to be a good person according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and that only then would she be healthy and happy. Fighting, on the other hand, would lead to karma and illness, as good and bad deeds are rewarded accordingly. Moreover, we must be kind to our elders.

When she learned that my husband had died young and that I still respected and cared for my mother-in-law, she was a little embarrassed and felt that what she did was indeed wrong. After she learned the truth about Falun Dafa, she recited, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” every day. Her high blood pressure and headaches disappeared, and she was no longer angry. She admitted that she was wrong to beat her father-in-law. She said, “If I hadn’t learned about Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be a good person, I really don’t know what would have happened when I went home.” She thanked us for what we told her. We said, “It is Dafa’s Master who wants to save you, so you should thank him!” She said, “Thank you, Dafa’s Master.” She said that she would be a good person from then on. She went home seven days early.

The guards in the detention center knew that Falun Dafa had been maligned and the other practitioner and I had committed no crimes. They expressed their sympathy and respect for both of us in different ways. The director used his own money to buy food for us in their small cafeteria; they provided us with hot water for showers; they gave us a lot of paper and pens; and they supported us in clarifying the truth and exposing the persecution. They understood that everything was calm in the women’s cell because we told the women there about the principles of Falun Dafa. They told us, “The special treatment we gave you has never, ever been given to any other detainees here.”

After we were sentenced to prison and were about to leave the detention center, the director held a banquet in their cafeteria for us. He said, “I really feel sympathy for you, but at present I can only do so much. If your cases are turned around, I will go to the prison and pick you up and take you home.” His kind thoughts and actions also brought him blessings. He was promoted shortly thereafter.

Now that the pandemic is here, the catastrophe is imminent, but there are still a lot of people who don’t understand the truth about Falun Dafa. I hope that everyone will stay away from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations to stay safe.

Sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” is the best way to save oneself. It’s the only panacea. May everyone find out the truth as quickly as possible and be blessed by Dafa.
