With Righteous Thoughts Nothing Is Impossible - Policeman Helps Me to Return Home

Aug. 3, 2002

(Clearwisdom.net) On one of the evenings before the Chinese New Year of this year, a few of us went to a small, remote town to distribute Dafa truth clarifying materials. Because I did not know the place well, I got separated from the other practitioners. I finished distributing the truth clarifying materials and was ready to return home. I hailed a couple of taxicabs but they refused to stop. At last I stopped a car, and the driver asked me how much I would pay to go to the city where I lived. I hesitated a little and answered, "Is ten Yuan enough? He smiled back and said, "Not enough." I realized that this price was not sufficient due to the late hour and the long distance, but I only had ten Yuan. He looked at me and said, "Get in the car, I shall help you to stop a car." I thought this driver was really nice. When I got in the car, I felt there was something wrong and asked the driver: "Is this not a taxi cab ? He said: "This is a police car." Probably out of professional habit, he asked me some questions and my answers did not satisfy him. He said, "If you were in my patrol area, I would have to ask for your identification card." I smiled but did not answer him. I remained calm and firm with my righteous thoughts.

Time passed from 8 P.M. to 8:40 P.M. and I was still not able to find a taxi, he then joked with me that I might have to spend a night in the police station and leave in the morning. I thought to myself that this was not acceptable. In addition I had already stayed in his car a long time and felt a little uneasy, so I decided to try to find a taxi by myself. However, the few cars that I asked all refused to drive such long distance for so little money. When I began to feel hopeless, the policeman came out from his car and said, " I told you not to leave and you didn't listen to me, a taxi just passed by." We quickly got into his police car, and he tried to catch up. Although the atmosphere was a little tense, I held firm to my righteous thoughts. Finally he caught up to the cab and asked the driver politely if he could take a passenger. The driver agreed quickly. He asked the driver how much the fare was, and after a little thought, the driver said ten Yuan. This was the exact amount in my pocket. I knew that this was the mighty power of Dafa.

When I got out of the police car, I gave the policeman the "He Shi" gesture. [Hand gesture from Buddha school, pressing the hands together in front of the chest] At the time I believed he did not understand what it meant. Later he definitely would understand who I am because the small town where he lived was suddenly full of truth-clarifying flyers.

It was midnight when I got home and I could not calm myself for a long time. It was all because of the mighty power of Dafa that I got home that night. Before setting out we were told: "The transportation there is very inconvenient, how could you return if it gets late?" I answered: "Teacher has said: 'As long as you study, any problem can be solved. As long as you cultivate and as long as you're able to understand the Fa from the Fa, there's nothing you can't achieve.' (Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A.) Dafa will find us a way."
