The Radiance of Master’s Grace Saves My Family

(Minghui.org) I would like to share family occurrences that I have witnessed to express my respect for Master Li Hongzhi and celebrate his grace and the wonders of Falun Dafa.

Husband’s Family Medical History

My husband has three brothers and three sisters. His second brother, Jian, was diagnosed with late-stage cirrhosis of the liver and hospitalized multiple times in 1989. Jian was only 30 at the time. He started to vomit blood and had bloody stools, and died of excess fluid in the abdomen at the age of 32.

Later, my father-in-law was also diagnosed with cirrhosis. When we suggested that he go to the hospital, he said in despair, “Jian died, why can’t I?” We had to bring a doctor to the house to treat him. The doctor said that his condition was terminal. Seeing two of his family members with the same illness, my husband quietly went alone to the hospital for a checkup. He learned that he was a carrier of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), which can cause liver damage. The doctor said that the disease often occurred in multiple family members. He quickly asked his other brothers and sisters to get examined and, as expected, they were all carriers.

A year later, my father-in-law fell into a hepatic coma and passed away with a severely swollen abdomen. Soon, my husband felt sick. His medical check-up showed that all of his liver tests were abnormal. Though he was discharged a month later, he knew that the disease was still there, and could resurface at any time to take his life. He was only 39 at the time, and felt miserable.

Mishaps didn’t stop there. One of my husband’s younger sisters, Yuan, started to vomit blood and have bloody stools. The symptoms came and went several times a year. Every time Yuan was hospitalized and received blood transfusions, her family members had to take turns caring for her. In those years, my husband became especially depressed, seeing Yuan tortured by the illness and in so much pain.

In 1994, I became a Falun Dafa practitioner. In little more than a month, my irregular heartbeat, stomach pain, severe constipation, nausea due to a spinal problem, ovarian cysts, and a uterine fibroid disappeared. I was no longer sickly and constantly fatigued, and now was energetic at work.

Also, my temper improved dramatically. All these changes allowed my husband to have a very good impression of the practice, and he’s always been a supporter of Falun Dafa. He didn’t listen to my advice and take up the practice, but he often recited the auspicious phrase “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good.” He used to have a waxy complexion because of his illness, and often caught a cold due to his compromised immune system. After he sincerely recited the phrase for a while, his health visibly improved. His coworkers told him that he looked younger by the day. He told them that “if everyone could follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, we’d live in a better society.”

In the fall of 1999, Yuan passed away at 38 years old. Saddened by her departure, my husband began to experience abdominal pain. I comforted him, but he wanted to get a Doppler ultrasound exam to be sure his liver was okay. We couldn’t afford the test, which cost 150 yuan at the time. He had been out of a job for years, and our son was still in school. I only made 120 yuan a month. As a result, I had to pawn a pair of earrings for him to get the test done. The result came back, and all of his liver tests were normal.

He has not taken any medicine for his liver in 30 years. His last health check a few years ago showed that he was perfectly healthy. He once thought that he’d be lucky if he lived past 60 like his father. Now he’s 72, and still energetic. Most of his siblings still rely on liver medicines. My husband avoided the family illness, thanks to Master’s grace.

Youngest Sister-in-law Was Blessed

My husband’s youngest sister, Fen, had the worst health in the family. She had neurological problems affecting her facial muscles, high blood pressure, diabetes, and thyroid disease. Fen could barely see or hear and required disability insurance. Whenever she visited, I encouraged her to recite the auspicious phrase, and she’d gladly do so. During the Covid-19 years, she called me and said that she was afraid of contracting the virus. I comforted her and suggested she continue to recite the Falun Dafa phrase, and have her family do the same. She agreed and her family remained reassured and safe in those years.

Though Fen suffered severe health problems, she barely took medicines. Occasionally, she had high fevers, but after reciting the auspicious phrase they would go away. In the big city where she lived, each medical visit would cost her thousands of yuan. Fen felt that the Falun Dafa phrases improved her health and resulted in tremendous savings on medicine. She told everyone in the family that if it wasn’t for my advice, she’d have already been dead.

Now Fen has no financial burdens. Her oldest daughter has graduated from college and holds a good job, and her second daughter did well in school.

Master Saved My Sister’s Life

Ten years ago, my youngest sister, Ying, suffered low blood potassium, and hence, had weak muscular function. Every now and then, she’d collapse and be unable to move at all. One morning in 2016, those symptoms surfaced, and her daughter and son-in-law took her to a hospital. Because her daughter was pregnant, I went to the hospital to stay with my sister. That night Ying experienced respiratory distress and was transferred to an intensive care unit. Her husband believed that she was dying and informed the rest of the family to come to see her at the hospital.

After a half hour of rescue efforts, all her vital signs – heart beat, breathing, and blood pressure – flattened on the screens. The doctor removed the life-saving equipment from the room and said that she had passed away.

We all burst into tears, because Ying wasn’t even 50. Besides low potassium, she had no other problems that morning when she was hospitalized. Suspecting medical malpractice, several of my brothers went to the doctor to question him. I was also suspicious about her sudden deterioration, but I knew that as a practitioner, I shouldn’t join the fight.

At the time, over ten of my family members surrounded the doctor, some crying and some yelling. The doctor called security to manage the situation, and he and the nurses went into his office to avoid the conflict. Seeing that the security guards arrived with electric batons, my family was enraged, and a fight was about to break out.

At that moment, I remembered Master Li, and stopped crying. In my heart, I inquired, “Master, I don’t know Ying’s situation as you do, I only know she has quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP); but if she is to be saved, please bring her back to us.” I then closed my eyes and waited.

Suddenly, my husband ran out of the hospital room toward the doctor’s office, “Who’s in charge here? Why are you sitting there instead of saving people? Go help her, or I’ll sue you for reckless endangerment.” The doctor and nurses rushed to Ying’s room, plugged in the equipment, and started to revive her. Soon, the flat signals on the monitors improved. We all held our breath and closely watched every moment. She made a soft noise, and her dark yellowish face gradually turned pink as she started to breathe.

The doctor exclaimed with relief, “She’s back”! All the family members rushed inside the room and saw Ying open her eyes. While everyone celebrated the miracle, I walked out of the room with tears streaming down my face. I said to Master, “Thank you, Master, for saving my sister’s life, and sparing us from a disastrous situation.”

I later mentioned my prayer at the hospital to my family members, and told them that Master saved Ying. It’s been over ten years and Ying stayed relatively healthy. I often reminded her that Master had saved her life, and she could thank him by reciting the auspicious phrase. She’d always smiled and agree.

Since the incident, Ying’s temperament has completely changed. She used to be loud and argumentative, now she is quiet and often has a smile on her face. I’d make fun of her, “Did Master give you a new brain as well?”

Granddaughter Learns the Practice

My granddaughter, Wakey, is ten. I practically raised her. When she was two months old, I took her to study the Fa with other practitioners. She’d sleep through the sessions and never made a fuss. When she was six months old, I’d carry her to places to clarify the truth. She often slept the entire afternoon. If she woke up, I would feed her, and she’d go back to sleep.

Wakey liked to watch Shen Yun videos. I often played the videos I had for her, and she never got tired of watching the same ones. Every year we’d watch Shen Yun’s live stream on New Year’s Day. She likes to read Minghui’s articles and see pictures of Master Li. She was able to memorize Lunyu when she was eight. I sometimes talked to her about how to behave like a practitioner, and she’d understand. For me, it felt like I could communicate with her like she was a practitioner.

When she was in second grade, she was chosen to perform in the school dance event. After the training, she told me, “Gran, how wonderful would it be if I could foresee the future, then I’d not join the dance team.” She then told me that two days before her teacher informed her that she had to wear a red scarf when she performed, and that when she protested and wanted to quit the team, her teacher wouldn’t allow her because they couldn’t find a replacement. From then on, she refused to participate in the school’s dance team no matter what. Every Monday, all students had to sing a song praising the CCP, but she sang “Falun Dafa is Good” instead.

Wakey knows how evil the CCP’s persecution of Dafa is. When I had to go out at night, she’d say, “Gran, come home early, or I will not be able to fall asleep.” She would put a piece of paper with the auspicious phrase on it in my pocket before I went out to the local court, and remind me to recite the phrase. She likes to sleep with me, saying that it makes her feel safe.

A few years ago, my son took Wakey and her younger sister to the park, and she accidentally fell off the air castle and twisted her ankle. When she came home, she told me that she had injured herself and couldn’t dance anymore. I reminded her to recite the Dafa phrase, and she told me she did, “As soon as I got injured, I recited the phrase, and that is why it doesn’t hurt at all.” She slept well that night, and the next day, her father wanted to take her to a hospital for an X-ray. I told him it didn’t hurt her and she should be fine. My son still took her to a doctor, who said that she had a comminuted fracture that required the use of a plaster cast.

Wakey came home and said to me, “Gran, my ankle bone is fractured, but it doesn’t hurt, because Master protected me.” My eyes welled up. The only explanation was that Master shouldered the pain for her. How else could she not feel any pain at all with a serious fracture like this.

Two weeks later, she was able to walk on the injured leg. She stayed home during that time and studied on her own. A month later, she went back to school and still got good grades. She was able to dance without feeling any discomfort.

Wakey is now in the fourth grade, and she is a good writer. Her teacher often reads her compositions to the class. She also tried to write poems and showed them to me. I quite enjoyed them. Wakey said she was able to write well “because I memorized Lunyu and the Fa has given me the wisdom.”

Master said,“...with one person practicing, the whole family benefits...” (“Teachings at the Conference in Australia”)

My family thanks Master for his immense grace.
