(Clearwisdom.net) In January 2000, due to the fact that we practiced Falun Gong exercises in a group, I was arrested by the local police and detained for two days. I was later bailed out by our work unit. On January 23, I was once again called to my work place and sent to brainwashing classes. After two days of unsuccessful attempts to brainwash me, the local police and my work unit forcefully detained me at the detention center for one month. During this time behind bars, an amazing story evolved about a pre-destined relationship with Dafa.
Police jailed me in cell number three, where there were already 16 to 17 people. One of them was a 23 year-old young man with the surname of Wu, who was the leader of this cell. He had been sentenced to life in jail due to stealing and robbery. As soon as I walked in the door, he could tell I was a Falun Gong practitioner. He said, "I know that all Falun Gong practitioners are good people. When you are here, you don't have to go on duty or do cleaning. You can do whatever you should do." At the same time, he brought over bowls and blankets for me. He seemed to be very caring towards me. It was obvious that he knew about Falun Gong.
A few days later, my family brought in a few clothes, in which there was a hand-written version of Hongyin (Master's poems). As I was reading it, Wu, who was sitting next to me, asked whether he could read it first. I said to him, "This is one of our Master's books, named Hongyin. Read it slowly and keep it safe." He said "no problem", and started reading it. Sometimes he would read very loudly on purpose, so that others could hear, as well, and sometimes he would nod his head and say, "Very well written, very correct." He finished reading it in one go, and gave the book back to me. That night, he complained of a stomachache. I could see that there was black substance coming out of his stomach (I have this supernormal capability). I remembered that he had read Hongyin. I said to him, "Your stomach-ache is a good thing. This means that Master is purifying your body. This is because today you read Hongyin, and have kind thoughts. Don't worry: it will be better very soon." After an hour, he still complained of the pain. I said to him, "Just forget about it." Later he went to do other things, and forgetting about the pain, his stomach stopped hurting. From then on, he occasionally asked me issues about cultivation, and asked me to teach him the five sets of exercises and the verses.
One day, a 35 year-old man guilty of robbery was transferred to our cell. When I tried to talk to him about Falun Gong, he would not accept it at all, and often slandered Dafa. After two days, he suddenly had a very severe toothache. He wanted to see the dentist, but the police refused. He came to me, wanting me to heal his illness. I said to him, "Falun Dafa is for cultivation. It is not used for people to heal illnesses. If you want to get rid of your illness, you must become virtuous and stop slandering Dafa." Then Wu asked me, "Why is there black substance on his mouth?" I said, "That is because he slandered Dafa, and is receiving retribution."
One night, Wu suddenly told me about my past life, what I looked like and what I did. It was all correct. It appeared that Wu had gained the supernormal ability of Precognition and Retrocognition.
The night before I was released, Wu said that he saw a circle of light, in a moon shape, around my head. He also said that only I had it: no one else.
He also gave me a cigarette case, which was filled with cranes, folded from beautiful gold and silver cigarette paper. He said, "There's nothing to give you, so I want you to have these as memorabilia." He told me not to throw them away and said that, "one day, these things will fly".
On the morning of February 21, 2000, Wu sat next to me in the lotus position, and said to me, "I want to see what you are like." After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up and said, shocked, "I saw that you are a Buddha!" A few people expressed their doubts. He started to draw what he saw on a piece of cigarette paper and then showed me. He said, "I drew you", and started to explain the details of the picture. You are sitting in meditation, and your hair is curly. There is a spot between your eyebrows. You have your eyes closed, and your earlobes reach your shoulder, and you are wearing a kasaya (translator's note: a patchwork, outer vestment worn by a Buddhist monk). You are sitting on a structure made of leaves, but no leaves in our world are as beautiful as these. In the front, there is a very beautiful golden flower; it is splendid. There is a moon-like circle around your head, around which there are thousands of tiny flame-like things." After he explained everything, he said to me, "Keep this as a memento." He then sat in the same position as last time, and after a few seconds, he straightened up and asked me, "Who is that person standing next to you?" I asked, "What does that person look like?" He started to describe: "That person is standing on a lotus flower plate, wearing a blue-green robe. His hair has big curls, like mushrooms. His right hand is in a lotus position and has a flower. There is a rainbow-like circle of light around his head." He started to draw what he saw on another piece of cigarette paper. He asked me, "Why is it that you are sitting, and he is standing? Why do you have a big moon, and he has a big circle of light?" I said to him, "Have you seen Buddhas in temples? Some are standing and some are sitting. This is what you can see in another dimension. Whatever you saw around my body, whether it is a moon-like circle or a circle of light, they both represent a Heavenly World." After listening, he nodded his head, and once again sat in the same position. After a few seconds, he straightened up, and quickly asked me, "How come there are ones with three heads? Why is that?" I said, "You saw the transformed body of the Buddhas. Sometimes there are even more heads. These are all explained in Falun Dafa books." He then said, "Let me see what Master really looks like." He started to look again. This time he was even more shocked. He said excitedly, "Master has a golden body, and is sitting on a lotus flower plate. His earlobes reach his shoulders, and everything is dazzling and extremely bright. He has no circles of light around his body, just a blue sky, with a few flying, heavenly cranes.
Just as he finished speaking, someone was calling for me to pack my things to leave the jail. After being out of the detention center for two months, I went back to visit Wu. He had been transferred to the "re-education jail." He told me that his heart felt calmer than ever before, and he has quit smoking. He also feels that he has no interest in a lot of the things people say. I encouraged him to be a good person, no matter what the situation, or where he is. If he always follows "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance," then he will have a wonderful future. At the same time, I gave him a small-sized book with Master's articles. He said that he would study the Fa, and use all available time to learn it.
In the past, Wu used to say rude words, smoke and hit people at the detention centre. Now, seeing his change, I felt like he has truly become another person. After a period of time, I went to see Wu again, and coincidently met his older sister. After telling her about Wu's personal experience and about Dafa, she started to cultivate as well.
