(Minghui.org) I began to practice Falun Dafa in 1998. I knew that Dafa is good, but didn’t truly understand the principles of the practice. After the persecution began in July 1999, I remained in a poor cultivation state. It wasn’t until 2005 that I began to be more serious about Fa study. I finally understood that I, as a Dafa practitioner, undertook the mission to assist Master Li in saving sentient beings.
I started to clarify the truth with fellow practitioners and distribute brochures and calendars. But I still didn’t know how to look inward to find my own shortcomings. Because I was lackadaisical, I was persecuted quite a few times after 2012 and was fired by my workplace. After I was released from prison, I continued to clarify the truth and save sentient beings.
As I was doing the Falun Gong exercises one morning last year, a group of police officers broke into my home and began to ransack it. I thought: “They are not allowed to see anything they shouldn’t see!”
I then took out a bench, invited them to sit, and clarified the truth to one of them. After listening to me, that policeman tried to stop the others from searching my place, but they didn’t listen. They rummaged through my things for about two hours, taking my computer, two cell phones, and other personal belongings. I shouted out, “Falun Dafa is good!” while being taken away.
Three fellow practitioners had also been arrested and were in the police station. I was cuffed to an iron chair. I calmed down and looked within to search for my shortcomings. I said to Master in my mind, “Master, I am so sorry that I made trouble again. Although I have attachments, I follow you and no one else!”
I recalled a dream that I had a few days before. In the dream, a lot of people were angry with me and wanted to do bad things to me, but I didn’t know why. I enlightened that the police officers were the people I saw in my dream, and they were the sentient beings whom I should save.
An officer asked me when I started to believe in Falun Dafa. I didn’t answer and just said, “What I believe has nothing to do with you. You are not in charge of me.”
They only untied me to use the restroom, so I clarified the truth to the policewoman accompanying me. When it was time to eat, the officers gave me a food box, but I didn’t eat it. I searched for my shortcomings and said to Master, “Master, my life was bestowed by you, and it was you who scooped me up from hell. I would have nothing if I had not been saved by you. I turn my life over to Dafa and assimilate to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Wherever you want me to clarify the truth, I will go!”
At 9 a.m., the two officers who arrested me came to take down some information. I said to them, “It’s harmful for you if you participate in the persecution of Dafa. I won’t cooperate with you! This is to protect you and stop you from committing sins. I am being responsible for you!”
They asked me some other questions, but I didn’t answer them and refused to sign anything. When they finished, I told them to take away the video recorder, and they turned it off. I explained that Falun Dafa is a high-level Buddha Fa that encompasses the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. By practicing Dafa, one can purify their mind and body. I also told them about the staged self-immolation incident, and pointed out that no law stipulates that Falun Dafa is illegal.
The officers all agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations using pseudonyms. I went to use the restroom several more times and always told the policewoman accompanying me more about Dafa.
A tall officer later came into the room. When I tried to clarify the truth to him, he said, “Don’t say that anymore, otherwise I’ll tape your mouth shut.” I wasn't affected and continued to speak to him. In the end, he also quit the Party.
I went into the hallway and spoke to the officers there. One of them said, “Don’t talk to us, just recite your phrase ‘Falun Dafa is good’.” A few officers then forcibly took my fingerprint and photographed me. The officer clenching my hand became very angry. I remained calm and said, “What I’m doing is for your own good, to protect you from committing sins against Dafa!”
They made me take a nucleic acid test. A nurse thrust the cotton swab into my nose and made it bleed. When I explained the truth to a policewoman there, she said she had dealt with me a few times before, but I didn't remember her. When I asked if she would like to quit the CCP, she waved her arm in front of my face and said she would hit me if I continued to say that. I wasn’t affected and kept smiling. She then remarked, “You’re always smiling. I’m even beginning to like you!”
I replied, “You deserve a good future. Let me make up a pseudonym for you and help you quit the Party.” She smiled and agreed.
I then approached a policewoman at the door and said, “You look like a kind person. I hope you can read more things that have righteous energy. Let me give you a pseudonym and help you quit the Party. You will have a blessed future!” She readily agreed.
Another policewoman came in at 10 p.m. I knew that Master had arranged for her to come to listen to me tell her the facts. She also quit the Party.
The deputy director of the criminal police division came after 11 p.m. I helped him quit the CCP, and he remarked, “I don’t think you want to go home.” He then yelled out to the officers in the hallway, “She even helped me quit the Party!”
One of the officers exclaimed, “She helped us quit too!” They laughed. A little bit before midnight, I was released and returned home with my husband in a dignified manner.
My arrest may have been related to a loophole that was taken advantage of by the old forces. Cultivation is very serious! I must try hard to rectify myself and do the three things well, so as to make less trouble for Master!
Thank you Master for your benevolent protection! Thank you fellow practitioners!
