(Minghui.org) “Thank you, Master! It was only with your protection and strengthening that I was able to stumble through and reach where I am today.” Because of my heavy attachments and poor understanding of the Fa, I have encountered many dangerous situations on my cultivation path. With Master’s protection, I came through these situations safely! The following are some of my experiences with fellow practitioners.
A female practitioner was arrested on May 8, 2017, for distributing materials that informed people about Falun Dafa and the persecution, and she was taken to a detention center. That night, several of us practitioners went out and posted stickers and posters that clarified the truth along the streets. Just as we were putting up a poster that read “Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice” at the entrance of the detention center, two cars suddenly drove out with their headlights on, and they stopped us. I was riding a bicycle and was arrested, along with one other practitioner. We were taken to an interrogation room in the detention center. Two other practitioners got away on their electric bikes.
I was forced to sit on a metal chair. While sitting there facing them, I talked about the truth of Falun Dafa and about the heavenly law of “good will be rewarded and evil will be punished.” I also told them about the changes I experienced, both physically and mentally, after I started cultivating Falun Dafa. I said, “Young men, you are about the age of my son. You are young and have a long road ahead of you. Please remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Heaven is watching what people do. You will receive blessings if you treat Falun Dafa kindly!” They listened quietly, without saying anything.
At around 2 a.m. I noticed that two young police officers had curled up in their chairs and fallen asleep. Tears ran down my face. I said in my mind, “Master, it’s because I didn’t do well that caused these people to commit crimes against Falun Dafa.” I prayed to Master, “Although I have shortcomings, I do not want the evil to interfere and persecute me. I have Master, and I will correct myself following the Fa. This is not the place for me. I must get out, as there are many things waiting for me to do.” I kept reciting the Fa, sending righteous thoughts, and looking within. I found many of my attachments, and I sent righteous thoughts to eliminate them.
The clock on the wall later showed it was 6 a.m. I sent righteous thoughts at the global time for sending righteous thoughts. I heard a voice afterward say, “You should leave now.” With Master’s strengthening, I got out of the chair, and right under their noses I opened the door and walked out. I got on my bicycle and rode away, as the sun was shining brightly.
The head of the Domestic Security Division sent me a message on August 1, 2017, asking me to see him. I thought it might be because of the situation with the two young police officers in the detention center. I realized that everyday people were eager to hear the truth, so I needed to go.
On the morning of August 3, with two other practitioners sending righteous thoughts to help me, I went to the Domestic Security Division. The head wasn’t there. A woman told me that he was in a meeting, and that he was a nice person. I asked her for his phone number, saying, “I want to talk to him in person.”
I saw two men in plainclothes sitting on the sofa, their faces grim. I went over and greeted them, “How are you? You are kind people. Do you know that Falun Dafa has spread to over 100 countries and regions around the world? Please don’t persecute Falun Dafa. Please remember ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!’” They happily stood up and walked me to the stairwell.
One of the practitioners who supported me by sending righteous thoughts told me afterward about what she saw with her celestial eye. She said, “The police department was dark before you went there. As soon as you stood there, a golden light shone and divine thunder roared. The evil was destroyed. Then a large water pipe cleansed things away.”
I called the head later. He said he was in a meeting and would contact me afterward. He said that he wanted to pay me a visit at my home. I replied, “Sure! You are welcome.”
He came at around 11 a.m., along with a young policeman. I invited them inside and offered them a plate of watermelon. The head ate a piece, and said, “Thank you. We’re here for what happened last time. How did they arrest you? Please tell us what happened. We’re just asking questions, not interrogating. Just fill out this form, and that’ll be it.”
I responded, “I won’t cooperate with you; it’s for your own good. I won’t let you commit crimes against Dafa. You’ve met many Falun Dafa practitioners, and you know they are all good people, right? Falun Dafa is a superior cultivation practice of the Buddha School. It requires practitioners to improve their moral standards following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Practicing Falun Dafa has miraculous healing power, and it is widely supported by people all around the world. Isn’t it better to have more good people? Besides, you know the current situation, right? Public security, procuratorate, and judicial personnel are subject to lifelong accountability for the quality of their cases.”
He smiled, and said, “I know! Please write it down yourself and bring it to us.”
I replied, “You will receive blessings for treating Falun Dafa practitioners kindly!”
I realized that Master was giving me an opportunity to write truth-clarification letters because I had the heart to offer Dafa’s salvation to people. I asked Master to grant me righteous thoughts and wisdom, and I wrote five-page-long letters to tell them the truth about Falun Dafa. I put the letters in envelopes.
When I called the head on August 22, he told me that he was in a meeting and that I could go to his office to wait for him. Heavy clouds covered the sky and police cars were roaming everywhere on the street, as they were setting up a “door-knocking” campaign; the scene looked horrifying. I wanted to ask a practitioner to send righteous thoughts to support me, but I wasn’t able to contact her. Negative thoughts surged up. I asked Master to strengthen me, and I sent righteous thoughts to reject the evil’s arrangements.
I recited the Fa on the way:
“I am rooted in the universe. If anyone could harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
And I kept thinking that I was doing the most righteous thing in the universe—saving people, and everything should make way for Dafa disciples to save sentient beings. I let go of my attachment to wanting help from fellow practitioners. When I arrived, the policeman who was gloomy last time politely welcomed me into the office, and offered me a cup of tea.
The head came after a short while, and said, “I was in a meeting. Hearing that you are here, I came over right away. What do you need?” I handed him the letter. He read it through and asked me a few questions. I answered him, and told him that I was also delivering a letter to the police station, and that I hoped the two young police officers would not get in trouble because of me.
The head paused for a moment, then responded seriously, “Are you going to the police station? They’re looking for you!” He called out to other officers, saying, “Get a car ready to take her to the detention center.” He said to me, “We have been looking for you, but you’ve delivered yourself.”
I got nervous for a moment, and prayed to Master in my mind, “I will correct my shortcomings. Please do not let the police officers commit crimes against Dafa.” I said, “I won’t let you commit crimes against Falun Dafa. I’m here to let you know that Falun Dafa is saving lives; you won’t do that.”
We looked at each other, before he replied, “I will!”
I said, “You won’t because you are kind.”
His anger turned to laughter, as he exclaimed, “Really?! I was just joking. I have no grudges against you. You can go now.”
I said, “Treating Dafa practitioners with kindness will bring you blessings and peace! Please read the letter; it’s truly for your own good.”
“Why should I read it?” he questioned. “I’ll let them all read it.” The people there gathered around him and read the letter. All sentient beings are looking for salvation!
This head was later transferred from his post, and he protected Dafa practitioners on numerous occasions. He has chosen a good future! This is the boundless grace of Master!
