Two Experiences of Righteous Thought and Righteous Action
I started to practice Falun Dafa around the 1999 Chinese New Year. I'm one of those that could not see other dimensions. The following are two of my sharings about my righteous thoughts and righteous actions.
One night after Teacher had just taught us to send forth righteous thoughts, I was sound sleep when I heard someone calling my name. I was not clear-headed at the time and asked, "Who's there?" I heard a reply, "We're from the police substation." I immediately woke up completely. They told me to open the door. I said, "You took away my books while I was out several days ago. What are you doing here again? Come tomorrow if you want anything." There were many people outside the door: some were from the first department, some were from the police substation, and some were from the village Communist Party Committee. I immediately got up to send forth righteous thoughts and also thought of asking Teacher for help. But I thought again, "I'm a Falun Dafa practitioner, I should be able to eliminate this evil." I don't know what happened, but my whole body started to shake, so much so that even the bed shook. I could even not hold my hand straight so I had to do the Lotus Hand Position.
It was very noisy outside. They banged on the door and shouted. After several minutes it got quiet, and I heard someone calling and asking what to do. After a while they all left--one motorcycle and two cars. After they had gone, I continued sending forth righteous thoughts. My body was still shaking until it finally stabilized. Afterwards I thought that there must have been an intense battle in the other dimensions. If I had gotten distracted after they left and stopped sending righteous thoughts, they probably would have come back again.
The second time was in the labor camp when I started a hunger strike. The first day they force-fed me, they inserted a tube into my nose and it was very painful. At the time I thought, "I'm a Falun Dafa practitioner. I should not suffer such persecution." The next day I felt nothing when they force-fed me. Later they put some spicy oil on the tube and inserted it into my nose, and then added ginger and salt. Even that had no effect on me as I just vomited up everything.
I think, as long as Falun Dafa practitioners keep a pure and righteous mind and do and think according to the requirement of the Fa, that is righteous thought and righteous action.
Saving Sentient Beings Step by Step
One year ago, I was publishing a statement to "quit the CCP and its related organizations" for my classmate. She looked at her husband who was employed in the city government. He was reading in his office. She said, "Don't let him know." Not long ago, I met this classmate again and talked about the wave of quitting the CCP. She said, "Find a name and publish a [withdrawal] statement for him, too." I said, "That won't work. He has to agree." The next day when I met her, she said with joy, "He agreed! He said his coworker told him about quitting the CCP to safeguard his life. So please make a statement for him and let him quit the CCP, too."
This is an example of saving sentient beings step by step by building on the efforts of others. Therefore, don't get frustrated if they don't quit the CCP after you clarify the truth to them, since you have taken the first step. Perhaps someone else will approach them at a later time, and they will be ready to quit then.
