Katja said, “Falun Dafa changed my life completely. The teachings guide me to view things differently. I am able to think of others first and be considerate, and, on a daily basis, I can feel the positive changes.”
She continued, “For example, in the past, freedom, to me, meant having things go the way I wanted them to. It is a totally different understanding now: Freedom means I will accept whatever I am faced with calmly, even if it is a challenge. I have the principles of truthfulness, compassion forbearance to guide me, and I will do better each day.
“I gradually realized that I was also part of the problem when it came to my marriage. I might have hurt my husband or mistreated him in the past. How could I hold him completely responsible for the failed relationship? No one is absolutely right or wrong; the only thing I can do is change me, myself.
“I no longer insisted on my point of view, and I began paying more attention to others. My relationship with my husband improved.”
Sharing the Good News of Falun Dafa
Katja has owned a boutique store in town for over 10 years, and she often tells her customers how wonderful Falun Dafa is and how she has benefited from it.
She wishes that everyone can have the opportunity to learn Falun Dafa and benefit from it. She also hopes they will learn about the persecution of Falun Dafa happening in China and help stop it.
She still remembers the first time she helped to promote Falun Dafa. “It was in Graz, and I was wondering how others would perceive us, particularly when it began to rain. I whispered to a fellow practitioner nearby, ‘They might think we are all crazy.’ He quietly replied, ‘Quite the contrary. Our resolve will leave them with a good impression.’”
Katja has been practicing Falun Dafa for the past 15 years. She found answers to lifelong questions and came to understand that life’s trials and tribulations are to help her improve. “I will continue to tell people about the persecution. They deserve to learn the truth and not be deceived by the Chinese Communist Party's lies.”
This article was originally published on Minghui.org, a website organized by Falun Gong practitioners to spread information about the Chinese spiritual practice and the persecution it suffers because of the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution.
