October 1999

Teacher Li said:

"Every disruption to Falun Dafa is a promotion of Falun Dafa."

"I have opened such a big door that I will save you as long as you want to practice cultivation, even if you have committed all kinds of sins."

"Falun Dafa saves people with predestined affinity."

In China, Falun Dafa practitioners are constantly being arrested and thrown into detention centers. But they have become more enlightened to the benevolence and harmony of Falun Dafa. In these special circumstances, they are not simply enduring hardships. There are all kinds of people with predestined affinity waiting for the chance to learn the true meaning of life. Falun Dafa is now giving every life an opportunity of being reborn.

Ms. Liu is a Falun Dafa practitioner from Hebei province. When she was detained in a local detention center, she ran into a lady who was detained there for disputes in business. Because she had had such a good life ever since childhood and also because she felt that she had been wronged, she could not stand for the hardships in the detention center. Therefore, she complained tearfully to Ms. Liu. After learning that Ms. Liu is a Falun Dafa practitioner, she told her a story of her affinity with Falun Dafa. The day before she was detained, she and her husband stayed in a hotel where they felt very bad about those vicious TV programs denouncing Falun Dafa. Unexpectedly, they found a book of Zhuan Falun (the main text of Falun Gong) under their quilt. They read through the whole book on that night and thought that Falun Dafa is really good. They generated a thought to take the book with them, but after some hesitation they still put it back. Ms. Liu told this lady her own cultivation experience and Falun Dafa's principles. She also helped her settle all kinds of anxieties. Three days of communication made this lady realize that she had learned the true meaning of life. She said she would consult Ms. Liu later about cultivation. Ms. Liu told her, "Falun Dafa practitioners are everywhere. All of them would try their best to help you to learn Falun Dafa."

Ms. Wang and Mr. Zhang from Hebei province were arrested when they went to Beijing to make appeals. They were transferred to a local detention center where they met a person who had already been detained there for more than 40 days. This person told Wang and Zhang that he had been such a kind person that when he was hit by a car he stood up and said, "It doesn't matter. You can go." But this time for no reason, he wounded a person. After some conversations, Wang and Zhang found out that this person was quite eager to learn more about Falun Dafa. Thus they decided to introduce him to the book Zhuan Falun chapter by chapter. They started from "Lunyu" (the preface of Zhuan Falun). On the third day when they were introducing him to chapter eight, they were transferred to another place. Before they were taken away, they left him their addresses, and promised that they would give him a copy of Zhuan Falun.

Genuine Falun Dafa practitioners in China all feel that it is their responsibility to introduce Falun Dafa to other people and defend the righteousness of Falun Dafa. In these adverse circumstances, Falun Dafa practitioners walked into the lowest level of human society to reveal Falun Dafa's benevolence to every kindhearted person with predestined affinity. In jail, some practitioners talked with prisoners one on one. In some jails, the "head of prisoners" asked a prisoner to stand sentry while Falun Dafa practitioners were talking about their cultivation experiences. A prisoner who has been detained for 10 years sighed, "I would have never committed a crime if I had known the Buddha Law 10 years earlier." An elder lady who could not read recited "Teacher Li Hongzhi" and "Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness-Benevolence-Tolerance)" again and again. Some Falun Dafa practitioners said that if there were people with predestined affinity in jails, they would not mind going into jails to introduce Falun Dafa to them.

The Buddha's light illuminates everywhere and enlightens people in every corner of the world.
