(Minghui.org) When three police officers recently knocked on a local practitioner's door, she pleasantly told them the facts about Falun Gong. They ended up helping her obtain funds for her husband's funeral.
The practitioner warmly invited the police into her house and asked, “What can I do for you?”
“Nothing. We just want to see how you are doing,” one officer replied.
“I am very well. All my illnesses are gone. I became totally healthy after I began cultivating Falun Gong. Our Teacher asks us to follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and to be selfless. We cultivators don't pursue personal interests or fame. My life is now very relaxing and fulfilling. This is the happiest time of my life,” said the practitioner.
“I was like some other people before I cultivated in Falun Gong. All I thought about was making money and getting ahead. Pursuing fame and self interest were the main purposes of my life. I became depressed when I lost money or status, and ended up with all sorts of illnesses.
“After cultivating Falun Gong, I learned that the true purpose of the human life is to return to one's original self. I now have a clear goal in my life, to strive to cultivate away all my bad thoughts and attachments, and to keep elevating my moral character.
“Looking back, in the past all I focused on were my own needs. I didn't care at all whether my actions were moral or not, as long as I made money. After studying Falun Gong, I realized that materialism just satisfies the senses and brings a type of happiness that is very fleeting. Only moral elevation can lift one's soul and enable one to attain true happiness.”
“After I started cultivating, I began to understand the meaning of what ancient sages said about sacrificing one's life for righteousness and kindness. Ancient people sometimes gave up their lives to uphold their faith or keep their word. Nowadays, people don't understand how great those people were.
“Look at what I have become,” said the practitioner. “All I think about each day is how to be a good person. Most practitioners are like this. Don't you think it's desirable to have good people in society?” The officers nodded their heads yes.
“You know, Qiao Shi, commissioner of the National People's Congress, organized a detailed investigation of Falun Gong in 1998. The report concluded that Falun Gong was bringing one hundred benefits to the people without a single, harmful side-effect. Jiang Zemin violated a universal law by persecuting of Falun Gong, and he won't escape punishment from heaven.”
According to the press, China's Administration of Press and Publications abolished the ban on Falun Gong books at the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. This is a sign that the officials throughout the nation want to begin governing the country according to the rule of law. All those who have persecuted Falun Gong will be held accountable.
The police officers listened quietly. They then asked the practitioner whether she had any difficulties. The practitioner told them that her husband had passed away five years earlier while she was in prison [for practicing Falun Gong]. She was eligible for funds from her workplace to cover the cost of her husband's funeral, but even though she applied for the compensation after she was released, her application was rejected because she practiced Falun Gong.
“No problem. We can help you solve this,” an officer said. They took her to her former employer. Initially, the manager refused to talk to the officers because they weren't in uniform. When the police showed their IDs and urged the company representative to reconsider, the allowance was granted.
From this incident, we can see that we should treat everyone, including police officers, with benevolence. When we use our own experiences and feelings to tell them the facts about Falun Gong, they are more likely to understand and make the right choices.
The majority of society is now quietly changing. It is a great opportunity for us to clarify the facts to people and save them. When speaking with with people who are responsible for upholding the law, and who are among those most harmed by the Communist Party lies, we should let go of our attachments to hatred and competition. With peaceful and kind hearts, we should give them accurate information about Falun Gong.
