The Cultivation Story of a Fruit Shop Owner's Family Zhang Lirong (Dictated by Xiao Feng) (Clearwisdom.net)
The family obtained the Fa one after another
I was born in 1964, have three children, and am the owner of a fruit shop in
Taipei. Last July I was hospitalized for uncontrolled bleeding from auterine
myoma. My brother introduced Dafa to me, and my daughter accompanied me to the
nine-day seminar. I was very feeble at the time because of heavy bleeding. After
the seminar, however, my whole body felt light and energetic. The following
month I again attended the nine-day seminar. Because of menorrhagia, I lost a
lot of blood. But treating myself as a cultivator, I stopped taking medicinal
supplements and persisted to practice the exercises at the park. When my husband
noticed the health improvement in me, he also wanted to attend the seminar. He
used to have foot problems that would require surgery according to the doctor,
but after obtaining the Fa the condition improved.
My father-in-law had difficulty walking, and when he visited me he came in a
wheelchair. After taking him to the nine-day seminar, he insisted and managed to
climb the stairs every day without others' help. I visited him during the New
Year and discovered that he was no longer wheelchair-bound. Now his condition is
much better.
Once my son had a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit), but it
quickly subsided. My daughter used to be dark and skinny, but now her complexion
is fairer and looks much nicer. Dafa is truly miraculous! Lately, my three kids
read the Fa for half an hour every day, do the exercises for half an hour, and
then send forth righteous thoughts. During the holidays they attend the
Clearwisdom School and participate in Hongfa (spread Dafa) activities; they
cooperate very nicely.
The family lives in harmony as our xinxing upgrades
Before obtaining the Fa my husband and I had our own disparate likes and
interests. My husband had a bad temper, so we often had quarrels; our kids also
liked to argue. After my husband started practicing Dafa, he quit smoking,
drinking, and other unhealthy habits. He also mellowed, and even did chores he
would never have done before. They kids became more obedient, and the entire
family had a common objective --- cultivation. The family atmosphere improved
and we enjoyed a new found happiness.
Assist the Master in spreading Dafa in the world
It could be said that I grew up on medicine, suffering from numerous
illnesses since childhood. Even though my husband and I own a fruit store, I am
always busy day in and day out, unable taking time off until my hospitalization
last July, during which I obtained Dafa, and I have never visited a doctor
since. Dafa amazingly changed me and my family, and miraculous events have even
occurred. The more I study the Fa, the more I realize that words fall short of
describing the profoundness of Dafa. Thus, I work hard to spread the Fa.
I display Dafa posters in the store, hand out information literature, and
introduce the Fa to my customers. My husband and I take turns to attend Hongfa
and experience-sharing events at home and abroad. Recently we have established a
group exercise site between 2 and 4 p.m. (the least busy hours during the day)
at a park 200 meters from the store. This way, we hope more predestined people
can obtain the Fa and learn the truth about Falun Gong.
After seeing how fellow practitioners in China are persecuted, watching
reports of the SOS campaign, and listening to others' cultivation experiences
and composed music, I cannot help shedding tears. With my long hours of work, I
often feel there is not enough time for Fa study, doing the exercises, and
spreading Dafa. Teacher stated in the last paragraph of teaching the Fa at the
2001 Canada Fa Conference that "you have all worked so hard. You have to
work and you have to study, you have your family life and social activities, and
at the same time you have to take care of your family, do a good job at work,
and you have to study the Fa well and do the exercises well, and what's more,
you have to clarify the truth. It is hard! It is pretty hard both time-wise and
financially. It is hard, so your mighty virtue is displayed; it is hard, and so
it is a good opportunity to establish your mighty virtue. Remarkable! Since you
are cultivators, even though it is hard you should do even better. That is all I
will say."
Thank you, Teacher, for your encouragements. I will strive to cultivate
diligently.
