Shop Owner: “I’ve Never Met Such a Kind Person!”

(Minghui.org) I used to have a thyroid tumor, and several medical experts urged me to undergo immediate surgery. I also needed reading glasses when I reached my 40s and still couldn’t see large print clearly. My whole body was weak, and my memory declined to the point that I couldn’t even manage simple tasks, such as handling money and doing housework. I was constantly restless and slept poorly. A doctor told me I would need medication for the rest of my life. I was miserable and felt my life wasn’t worth living.

In July 1998, I went to a park and saw a large group of people practicing Falun Gong (Falun Dafa). One Dafa practitioner offered to lend me a small copy of Zhuan Falun. I had presbyopia and wasn’t wearing reading glasses at the time, but I could clearly see the words in that precious book. It was miraculous! That night, I slept soundly for the first time in years.

From the day I began reading Zhuan Falun, I’ve never again needed glasses to read Dafa books. And since I started practicing Falun Dafa, I haven’t spent a single penny on medical expenses. My eyebrows, which had fallen out, grew back, and my hair turned black again. A tooth on the lower left side was decaying and broken, yet a new tooth grew in its place. I can now eat almost anything, including apples.

When one person practices, the whole family benefits. Not long after I began practicing, my husband was riding his electric bike one summer evening when a vehicle hit him. His bike was destroyed, yet he was mostly unharmed. He even showered that night, went grocery shopping, and cooked the next day.

Letting People Know the Truth About Dafa

In August of this year, I walked past a clothing store and noticed several customers browsing inside, so I decided to go in as well. After sending forth righteous thoughts, I picked up an article of clothing and began reading the tiny print on the label about the fabric composition and care. The customers were surprised, and one of them asked, “How old are you? You can still read such small print?”

I smiled, “I’m 81. My health used to be so terrible that I could barely walk, and I needed reading glasses. I later learned a wonderful practice, and my health completely recovered. I haven’t spent any money on medical expenses in nearly 30 years.

“During the pandemic, many people around me tested positive, but I didn’t. I’ve learned that if you treat others kindly, even when they mistreat you, and you don’t hold anger or resentment in your heart, Heaven will protect you and bless you with good health. Everything people do is seen by divine beings. Good and evil deeds have their consequences. Atheism only harms people.

“I practice Falun Dafa, a Buddhist cultivation practice, and it has extraordinary effects in healing and improving health. But Jiang Zemin [former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader] twisted the truth for his own selfish reasons and called good things bad and bad things good.

“I truly regained my health without spending a penny, yet I’m not allowed to talk about it, and those who do are persecuted. Slandering the Buddha Law and persecuting good people is a sin. Heaven is protecting the good and will eliminate the wicked. I would tell them to withdraw from the CCP, Youth League, and Young Pioneers.

“If you sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ and try to live by these principles, you will be safe when disaster comes. Sharing this with your family and friends also saves people and accumulates virtue and blessings.” She agreed to withdraw from the Youth League and Young Pioneers.

Afterward, I bought the article of clothing. The shop owner said, “I’ll give you a 10-yuan discount.”

I replied, “You’re working so hard. I don’t need a discount.”

She was delighted, “I’ve never met such a kind person! I’m really happy to have met you today.” I clarified the facts, and she wholeheartedly accepted my talking points. She even wrote “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is good” on a piece of paper and placed it in her drawer.

When I passed a noodle shop, I saw a woman smiling and waving for me to come in. I went inside and sat down. She exclaimed, “The food here is delicious. I’ll treat you!”

I told her, “I’ve already eaten, but you’re very kind. Let me share with you a good way to stay safe.” Just as I had done in the clothing store, I told her the facts about Falun Dafa. In the end, she happily withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party, Youth League, and the Young Pioneers.

Eliminating Attachments

Clarifying the facts to people is also a process of cultivating my character. Sometimes, when I meet kind and receptive people, I feel joyful. But when I encounter people deeply influenced by the CCP’s propaganda or those who might report me, I feel fear. When it’s getting dark, I sometimes worry about being late and upsetting my family. But when I hurry home, I pass by those whom I might have had a predestined relationship with.

I know I must eliminate my attachments to being overjoyed, fear, carelessness, and selfishness, and do the three things well—study the Fa, send righteous thoughts, and clarify the facts to people, so as not to let down Master’s compassionate salvation.
