Master Always Watches Over Us

(Minghui.org) Master Li is always by our side, protecting and guiding Falun Dafa practitioners. I would like to share three stories of times when Master protected me and helped me walk away from danger.

Making the Most of Opportunities

Officers from the police station and the Domestic Security Division searched my home in 2009. Afterwards, they took me to a detention center.

After we arrived, two police officers from the Domestic Security Division, and the head of the police station, interrogated me. One of them said, “If you cooperate with us we’ll sentence you to one year of forced labor. If you don’t, we’ll sentence you to two years.”

Master said:

“No matter what the situation, do not cooperate with the evil’s demands, orders, or what it instigates.” (“Dafa Disciples’ Righteous Thoughts are Powerful,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress II)

I did not cooperate with their requests. They were furious and wrote two-year sentence on a form, and yelled, “Two years.” They closed their folder and left.

I sent righteous thoughts, “What you said doesn’t count. My Master has the final say.” I told Master in my mind, “Master, I am not going anywhere, and I don’t belong here. I need to go out to let people know about Dafa.” I asked Master to strengthen me. I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the old force factors and disintegrate all the old force’s plots that persecute Dafa practitioners. I kept reciting the formula for sending righteous thoughts.

The water valve in the cell broke one day, and when the repairman came everyone in the cell gathered around him, watching him work. I went to the door and tried to push—and the door opened. I thought of walking out but I was worried that the guard in the duty room would see me. While I was hesitating, the repairman fixed the valve and left, locking the cell door behind him. A person came back from his visitation time, and said, “Anyone would have gotten away if they tried. There was no one in the duty room.” Hearing his words, I regretted missing the opportunity. I felt that Master was giving me a hint through that person. I asked Master for another opportunity and I continued sending righteous thoughts.

A few days later, a guard came and told several people in the cell to go out and clean. After the guard left, I noticed that the door was unlocked, but I saw a guard watching in the duty room. I sent righteous thoughts to have him leave, which he soon did. I knew this must be the opportunity Master arranged for me. I walked out calmly. As soon as I got to the street, a taxi came.

The Person on Duty Fell Asleep

I went to a practitioner’s home in 2013, to set up a computer and printer. We were reported, and two police officers came and prevented us from leaving. When the Domestic Security personnel came, one of them said, “I guessed it was you.”

They took me to the police station and checked our computers, printers, truth-clarifying materials, and other things. I watched them, and said, “What’s the point of registering these things? They are not illegal. According to Article 35 of the Constitution, citizens have the freedom to print, publish, assemble, and associate. According to Article 36 of the Constitution, citizens have the freedom of religious belief. We did not break any law.”

The head of the police station heard my words and said, “Please speak slowly, so that I can learn something.” Although they were in the law enforcement system, they didn’t all understand the law. They had been deceived and used by the Party. I repeated what I said, and then added one more sentence at the end, “Sincerely reciting ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ will bring you heavenly blessings.” He wrote down what I said word for word.

I was put in a small room for the night when it was late, and they had two people watching me from outside the door. At around 2 a.m., I thought, “I can’t stay here, and I’m not going to the detention center.” I sent righteous thoughts and asked Master to make them sleep. One person soon went away and the other fell asleep. The door was not locked. I walked out of the room, went over the yard wall, and left the police station.

When I approached the woods I went to the trees to send righteous thoughts. I had not eaten or drank anything since the previous day, but I didn’t feel hungry or thirsty, and I didn’t feel that it had been that long.

Looking down the hill, I saw two ways out. One was the main road, and the other was a smaller county road. The county road took a longer detour. I also noticed a narrow trail next to me which seemed to lead to the main road. I followed an old man herding sheep and walked downhill following the trail. However, the trail soon ended at a cliff, and I heard a few sheep crying.

I came to understand that Master did not want me to take the main road because it led directly to the county township, and passed by the police station. Vehicles were also often stopped and checked. I turned around and walked through the fields, passed two villages, and came to the county road. It was already dark. I saw a beam of light shining towards me and noticed a truck stopped there. I walked over to the truck and talked to driver. It happened that the truck driver’s family ran a taxi. I took the taxi and went to a fellow practitioner’s home.

Camera Stopped Working

I went with a fellow practitioner’s family member to the prison one day in 2012, to visit the practitioner who was incarcerated there. Outside the prison, another practitioner’s family members were demanding that their son be released. They were from out of town, and were wearing clothes with “petition” written on them. They told us that their son had been tortured in the prison and he weighed less than 50 kg. (110 lb.) and had a heartbeat of less than 40 heart beats per minute. His life was in danger.

My wife and I discussed this when we got home, and decided to go to the prison the next day to support the family’s demand to release the practitioner. That afternoon, officers from the Domestic Security Division and the police station came. They surrounded us, and took us to the police station. The Domestic Security police interrogated us, but we refused to cooperate.

We were taken to a detention center that evening. The detention center had a rule that whoever came in must have their photo taken. I told them, “According to Article 36 of the Constitution, we did not violate the law and did not commit any crimes. We have the right, and do not want our photos taken.” We refused to have our photos taken for several days.

One day, two older police officers came. One of them said to us, “Please stop making things difficult for us. Please consider our age and allow us to take your photos.”

I said, “It’s useless. It will not work.” I walked to the camera and sent a thought to the lens, “No pictures.” As a result, no matter how they took the photo, either from the front or the back, and from left to right, they could not get any pictures.

One of them said, “Let’s try again!”

I firmly replied, “No use! I told you that it won’t work, but you still don’t believe me.” They finally gave up.

Looking back on my cultivation path, whenever I encountered difficulties or was in a desperate situation, no matter how hard or difficult, I was able to get through them safely with Master’s compassionate protection. All I can do to repay Master for his graciousness is to cultivate diligently in the future, read the Fa more, do the three things well, and return to my true home with Master.

Thank you, Master, for arranging the best for me, and protecting me!
