(Minghui.org) A few days ago, a local police officer came to my home with four officers from the Haidian Police Station. They said they were conducting a survey. They asked me if I still practiced Falun Dafa and whether I had any books related to Falun Dafa. As I looked at their faces, I didn’t feel any fear and I spoke to them calmly. Their ages ranged from about 30 to 50.
Master said,
“It was Dafa—the Great Way of the universe—that created the cosmic body, the universe, life, and all of creation.” (“On Dafa,” Zhuan Falun)
I did not feel any hatred, discrimination, contempt, or vengeance, etc., toward them. At that moment, I realized that these beings were also created by Dafa. I had a strong feeling that I was encompassed by Master Li’s immense energy. I saw that I was surrounded by a peaceful, compassionate, and majestic light that was yellow at the center and pale orange near the edges. I was shocked to see this powerful emission.
I talked with the police for a short while, and when I told them that Falun Dafa is legal in China, they filed out of my home without saying a word, like children being led by a pair of invisible hands.
I smiled inside and was immensely grateful for Master’s protection.
After the police left, I reflected on what had happened. I felt I had not done well because I hadn’t spoken to the point that Falun Dafa is good or clarified the truth well enough to save them.
When I read the articles on Minghui.org, I always marvel at how fellow practitioners are able to talk about Falun Dafa with people and help them quit their memberships in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliates. I have done little in this area, and feel embarrassed to have only persuaded a few people to quit the CCP. I know I need to work harder in this aspect.
In a recent article Master said,
“…there are those who have a lot of ‘qing’ but haven’t taken it seriously for a long time.” (“Wake up”)
I recently had a new realization about qing (emotions, feelings, sentiment). Feeling happy when we see wonderful things in our daily lives is qing, and being upset, resentful, or angry is also qing. We need to eliminate all such feelings.
When facing police and others in specialized professions, I have sometimes felt the urge to argue with them. Doing such a thing would obviously not be up to the standard required by Dafa. My understanding is that it would be a display of qing, but isn’t easy to detect. I now send righteous thoughts to rid myself of the feeling as soon as I recognize it.
When the police came to my home this time, I remembered Master’s words:
“As I have always said, none of today’s Chinese people are simple or ordinary. Don’t be fooled by the fact that the human skin looks the same—the person that’s in charge of it is actually no longer who it used to be, and in most cases beings that descended from high levels are in charge. And a great many kings from different nations throughout history reincarnated in China. So the group of people in China today is far from ordinary. It’s just that when a person reincarnates or a divine being comes down to this world he enters the delusion, and people in delusion are susceptible to being used. But they were all meant to obtain the Fa and be saved, and they have great predestined connections.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2005 Manhattan International Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Vol. V)
As I remembered these words, tears filled my eyes. I felt Master’s immense benevolence and remembered how he has suffered for us. I thought, perhaps there are such lives among the police officers I meet. I should not reject them or argue with them. I should do as Master has asked—be nice and cherish these lives.
Although I was unable to truly make them accept Dafa and quit the CCP, I think with Master’s help, I helped them feel the wonder of Dafa and see practitioners’ kindness through my behavior.
There are no other practitioners around me to share experiences with. I access the Minghui.org website every week, download good articles, and read them when I have time. I believe this is also a way to communicate with practitioners. I find my own deficiencies by reading other practitioners’ articles, and also share my experiences by writing articles.
