(Clearwisdom.net) Officers from a local police station harass the families of Falun Gong practitioners. Under the pretense of making investigative "follow up visits," police go to the practitioners' homes and inquire as to their whereabouts. Several practitioners easily eliminated this interference with righteous thoughts.
One of these practitioners is a businessman. One day he visited a shop on business. The shop owner had practiced Falun Dafa for a while before the persecution began. However, after the persecution started, the owner no longer practiced Falun Dafa because he feared arrest. Still, the owner was harassed several times by local police. It just happened that police harassed this shop owner during the time the practitioner visited his shop. There were other customers in the shop at the time. The practitioner approached the police and said, "We are good people following Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. We do not steal, rob, or do any bad deeds. Why do you want to find fault with good people? Why don't you go and arrest thieves, robbers, killers, arsonists, or corrupt people. I know this is your job and you are on duty, but it is not good for you to be too zealous in this matter. It's a universal truth that good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds are punished." He patted the police officer's shoulder and walked away. The policeman didn't say anything. From then on, the local police no longer harassed practitioners.
Local police officers went to another practitioner's home. Her husband was the only one home at the time. They asked him if his wife was at home and he responded that she was not. The police inquired as to when his wife would be returning home and were informed she would be in later that afternoon. Later, after hearing about the police visit from her husband, this practitioner was not afraid and said, "Let the police come, I will wait for them. This will be an opportunity to clarify the truth to them about Dafa and the persecution. I will clarify the truth and tell them that good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds must all be paid for." The practitioner waited for two days, but the police never showed up.
Another practitioner lives with her parents and practices Falun Dafa diligently. One day, the police called and her mother answered the phone. The police officer asked if her daughter was at home and the mother confirmed that she was. The officer said he would be there in a moment. After hearing about the phone call, the practitioner was just about to blame her mother for betraying her, but corrected herself in time. She realized that it wasn't right to blame her mother. She told herself she should not think like that; she should let the police come, as it would be a good opportunity to clarify the truth and disintegrate the evil. The police didn't end up coming to their home after all.
The above stories are about practitioners remaining calm and placid in the midst of interference, and eliminating the interference with righteous thoughts. If we do not have fear when faced with the possibility of persecution, and maintain righteous thoughts, all interference toward the entire group can be eliminated.
