Psychotropics Have Little Effect on Practitioners, Righteous Thoughts Protect Practitioner from Danger

I was held in a detention center for more than two months because I insisted on practicing Falun Gong; I was then sent to a psychiatric hospital. The doctor there ordered me to take some medication. When I refused, two doctors held me down and forcibly injected me with drugs. I fell unconscious and did not wake up until the next day, when they forced me to take medicine again. Every practitioner detained there was forced to take medicine three times per day. There was a doctor assigned to each practitioner. The doctor who was assigned to watch me was the dean of the hospital. He gave me fourteen pills per day, and he sometimes forced me to take eighteen pills per day. When it was time to take the medicine, I would recite Dafa in my mind, and every time I only swallowed the water without swallowing the pills. There were two practitioners who knew that we were detained there; they brought us Teacher's articles, books, truth clarifying materials and the Minghui.net editorial entitled "About Psychotropics" (Please see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2000/11/25/6025.html). After seeing Teacher's articles, I felt like I had seen Teacher. We memorized the article "Expounding on the Fa." Another practitioner was sent to this psychiatric hospital at this time, so we recited Teacher's articles and poems together; we also continued to clarify the truth to hospital staff. They knew that we were good people. I stayed in the psychiatric hospital for twenty-two days, and with Teacher's help I endured all these hardships and was released. Then I went right back into the current of clarifying the truth.

Sometimes I went out alone or with other practitioners to clarify the truth, hanging banners on telephone poles and trees along the road. A lot of people saw the words "Falun Dafa is good," and they said that practitioners are really capable of doing a lot: everywhere you looked you saw Dafa's banners.

In November of 2001, I went to Beijing to peacefully appeal again; I sent forth righteous thoughts at all times. At Qianmen in Beijing, I said, "Falun Dafa is good" in front of a large crowd. When I arrived at the gateway to Tiananmen Square, I raised a small banner. Seeing my actions, two people who were taking pictures there said that they knew about "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." When I reached the Jinshui Bridge in front of Tiananmen Square, five or six plainclothes policemen surrounded me, and asked for my personal identification and where I was from. I did not pay attention to them, but the plainclothes policemen would not let me go; then I recalled Teacher's article "What Are Supernormal Abilities." Therefore I said, "Stand still" to a policeman who was following behind me, and I was able to escape from them. The next day, I used a small stone to anchor a small banner by the pond in front of the People's Gathering Hall, and sent out righteous thoughts to prevent anyone from interfering with it; then I walked away to the west. A policeman approached me. I was afraid of him and ran away without even sending forth righteous thoughts. Two other policemen blocked my path, searched my backpack, and asked me where I came from. At that moment, I remembered to send forth righteous thoughts. As soon as I sent forth righteous thoughts, the three policemen returned my backpack. I then continued sending forth righteous thoughts and walked back in the direction I came from. Later, I hung another small banner on a fence pole on the east side of Qianmen and then safely returned home.
