Recently, I happened to receive some information from several fellow practitioners and friends. Although the information is not much, and it is not in great detail, I think it is accurate. From listening to it, I can feel that a new atmosphere is being created when the Fa rectifies the human world. I can also see the crimes that the wicked people have committed. Below are the several stories that I heard from fellow practitioners and friends.
---------------------------------
On the afternoon of Dec 24, a female coworker of my wife came to visit us. (We will call her L below). The visit was a surprise, since we were not close friends at all. She is not a practitioner, but I think she has a predestined relationship with Dafa. Since she knew that both my wife and I practiced Dafa, naturally we started to talk about the present persecution.
We told her that the accusations on TV toward Dafa and our teacher were all rumors and slanders. We also asked her: "Do you believe what they said on TV?"
L: Who would believe that? It was like what happened on June 6, 1989. [The bloodshed in Tiananmen Square.] They said they did not open fire, but my husband saw with his own eyes, the wounded students with blood all over their bodies... We have also received the materials from Falun Gong practitioners. Now everyone knows the truth. We are only afraid that since they [the government] have power, you practitioners will suffer losses.
L: I saw police arresting Falun Gong practitioners last week on Fuyou Street. Policemen were pushing practitioners into their vans. They arrested more than 20 practitioners.
L: The next day, I saw another case of arrest. I go through Fuyou Street every morning when I go to work. That day, there happened to be an accident. While I was watching, a taxi suddenly stopped in front of me. Some policemen came behind the taxi. The taxi driver came out of the car and murmured several sentences to the policemen. Another police car arrived after a short while, and the policemen forced the three passengers (Dafa practitioners) out of the taxi and threw them into the police car. The police car took off with the taxi towed behind.
L: I think the taxi driver may have betrayed the practitioners, or the taxi driver may actually be a policeman.
L: Our manager is a Falun Gong practitioner, and she is a very good person. She had cancer before, but she recovered completely through practicing Falun Gong. She was arrested and beaten, and she still suffers from the wound on her face until now. Talking about beating people, I know a milk deliverer who is also a Falun Gong practitioner. She was also put in jail and tortured. She told me that people were treated ruthlessly there, even worse than the communists in Zhazidong by the Kuomintang [The party against the communists in the civil war before 1949.]
L: Has your teacher said anything in public recently?
We said yes, and we briefly told her our understandings of the new scriptures. She was very interested. We told her that the scriptures were all published on the Internet, and we asked her: do you want to read them?
L: Sure!
My wife said: Do you want a copy?
L said eagerly: I would love to have one if you can give it to me.
Several years ago, when we just started to practice, L came to visit us with her husband. When they were ready to leave, L's husband saw our teacher's poem "Yuan Ming" (Hong Yin) in a frame on our desk. He took up the frame and read with a soft voice: "Xin Huai Zhen Shan Ren..." (Having "Truthfulness, Compassion, forbearance" in one's heart) When he finished reading the poem, he said: "Truthfulness, Compassion, forbearance" is great, it would be perfect if everyone can be this way! He was so delighted with the poem that he could hardly bear to put the frame down. We said if you like it so much, then take it.
6. Environment at home also needs to be rectified
Some practitioners could step forward to validate Dafa and tell people the truth about Falun Gong, and I admire that. However, the environments of many practitioners' homes have not been rectified yet. This has become an obstacle for the further validation of Dafa, telling the truth and disclosing evil. Take the example of my fellow practitioner H. Her husband does not practice, and he is against her activities of validating Dafa and disclosing evil. Once he even drove her out of their home. Her son does not understand her either, and he said: "By doing so you are violating the law." Later on, she came to understand that Fa rectification also includes practitioners' family environment. H explained to her husband and son how Dafa changed her life: she used to be a very sick person with many diseases, living in deep trouble and pain before she practiced Falun Gong. She also told them about the brutal persecution against practitioners by Jiang Zemin and his followers, and validating Dafa is also offering people salvation. Afterwards, the environment at her home improved. Her husband is not against her anymore; her son's attitude changed too. He even reminded her with concern: "Mom, be careful!" There are many examples like this.
7. The evil forces will never overwhelm orthodox Fa
My fellow practitioner W's sister is also a Dafa practitioner, and she is very active in validating Dafa and disclosing evil. Needless to say, the local community office and police station paid close attention to her, yet she is never afraid of the evil. One day, a new community officer came to her home and said: We were told to watch you 24 hours a day at your door, so please don't go out without letting us know.
W's sister said: I did not violate the law, so you don't have the right to watch me! This is a human right violation!
Officer: I have done some research, and I know that you are a good person. Treating you like this is wrong, but I have no choice, since I was ordered to do so.
W's sister: You don't have the right to do this.
The officer started to hesitate, and said: then I won't come everyday...
W's sister: No, you cannot do that either.
Officer: Can you at least give me your telephone number?
W's sister: This is also violation of human right, and I cannot give you my number.
The officer had no choice but to leave in despair.
8. A captain and his soldiers were arrested after going to Beijing to validate Dafa
W's daughter is not a practitioner. At an alumni party, someone who works in the secret service said: a captain in the army practices Falun Gong, and he also helped many soldiers to practice. Later on this captain led these soldiers to Beijing to appeal. They were stopped on their way and transferred to the army, where they were secretly tried on court of the army. Not much detail is available about this, but the story is true.
