(Minghui.org) It was very gloomy and rainy on November 9, 2018. I wasn't aware until nine days later that almost 40 practitioners were arrested that day. I felt very sad and complained to Alan (alias) when he told me about it. I thought that they hadn't listened to me when I asked them to pay more attention to safety and that they hadn't treasured the cultivation environment Master has created for us.
Two practitioners Alan knew well were arrested. He felt that he had lost his companions, but he still felt he was strong.
Back home, I looked within and realized that I had attachments, such as to complaining, to criticizing, and to self. I calmed down and started to clean my room. I dusted in places that I usually didn't want to clean, just trying to keep busy while I searched for attachments I still had.
Going Against the Tide
That night I had a very clear dream: It was drizzling rain, and the sky was dark. Many people were riding bikes toward a hill, but I went to the other side of the road to a school building. I entered the classroom while others with tickets were waiting outside. People were packed into the first three rows and focused on the class that wasn't over yet. I realized that only after these people had finished the class could those outside get in.
From this dream, I enlightened that we should go against the tide, that we should improve based on the Fa, but that we shouldn't be attached to time. We shouldn't be obsessive, but we should actively do whatever Dafa practitioners should do.
I am not sure when I started doing this, but whenever there was news about local practitioners being persecuted, I wrote and printed the information and posted it near where the practitioners lived or near the area where the detention center was located to expose the evil behavior. I also sent forth righteous thoughts nearby. I usually didn't personally know the practitioners.
I usually went by myself to clarify the truth, because I didn't know many other practitioners. But I can cooperate with others as a whole body. For example, I heard that a practitioner was being held at a certain police station. At that time, each day as I headed home, I passed that police station and sent forth righteous thoughts nearby. Within a week, I ran into another practitioner, who told me that the practitioner I had been sending forth righteous thoughts for had been released. I said I didn't know the practitioner personally.
I realized that Master giving me a hint that I no longer needed to go to that police station to send forth righteous thoughts. Thank you, Master. Since then, I know it is important to rescue practitioners in a timely manner as a whole body. The authorities are shocked to see their crimes publicized. Master has already told us this.
That night, I did the sitting meditation with my family and it felt really good, different from other days. Many things seemed to be rotating on my face and body, and they itched. I thought they must be Falun. When I attained tranquility, I saw a black space with a small white space where our posters were exposing the evil's crimes. I saw a large spring onion that had already been peeled and only the light green inside was left. I felt it was Master encouraging us to do well.
“Disciples, be diligent! Everything that’s the most magnificent and the most wonderful is developed in the process of your validating Dafa. Your vows will become testaments of your future”. (“Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciples,”Essentials for Further Advancement II)
I hope this sharing will encourage us to cultivate diligently together.
