(Clearwisdom.net) When I was about to hang a second banner early on the morning of World Falun Dafa Day, a man clad in black ran up to me from behind. He knocked me down and pinned me to the ground in the narrow space between a car and a wall. He held his foot against my chest, making it difficult for me to breathe or move. He went through my purse and found two banners, some bookmarks, paper currency carrying factual messages about the persecution and Falun Dafa, several hundred yuan in cash without messages, and a cell phone. He put the cash and cell phone in his pocket and placed the banner, bookmarks and paper currency with messages back in my purse. He said, "Do you know who I am? I am assigned to arrest Falun Gong practitioners like you. I've been following you for a long time. I'll get paid 3,000 yuan if I turn you in to the police."

Lying on the ground, I said in my heart, "Master, help me! I can't go to a dark prison." I spoke to him while sending righteous thoughts. I said, "Take your foot off me. I won't run away! Dafa saved my life, let's talk." I told him how I became healthy through Falun Gong and how happy it makes me. I said that because I've benefited from the practice, I also want others to benefit, and I am doing a good thing. "Look at the words Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance on the banner," I said, "They tell you to be a good person."

I told him about the self-immolation on Tiananmen Square - how it was staged to frame Falun Gong, and that Falun Gong is practiced around the world. I said, "I can tell you have a good heart. If you let me go, you will have done the right thing, and the gods will see it." He hesitated, so I continued sending righteous thoughts and explained to him the principles of how to be a good person, and that what goes around comes around. He said, "If I let you go and you get caught again, you'll rat me out and I'll get arrested myself." I said, "I'm saying this for your own good. I will never implicate you!" I kept talking and sending righteous thoughts for more than an hour.

He eventually decided to set me free. He pondered how to let me leave safely saying, "There are many patrols in the small hours, and you can't leave this compound through other exits because you'll be arrested if you are not careful. The wall is really high and hard to climb, and there are lots of cops outside. I'll just hail a taxi and accompany you home." He stopped a cab and returned my cell phone card. I kept encouraging him saying, "You are doing the right thing. Although you didn't get 3,000 yuan, doing a good deed is priceless. Don't ever persecute Falun Gong practitioners again, and in the future you will be thankful you made the right choice."

He called me the next day. I treated him to dinner and I told him more facts. He eventually gave me back my cell phone and said he'll give the cash back to me after a few days adding, "I don't know why I felt I had to call you. I really admire you. My head is dizzy now. I thought about it all night last night. You are a good person. I will listen to you. I will stop doing it. I wish I had met you sooner." I said, "You must be a good person, no matter how hard it is to be one. You can call me if something comes up, but don't ever do bad things again." I gave him a Falun Dafa message card and told him to remember that Falun Dafa is good. He nodded the whole time.

I now know that Master was using the arrangement of the old forces as a means to let me help this person. Reflecting calmly on the experience made me feel as if I were dreaming. I had not done much, but Master's compassion determined everything and helped him find himself.

Thank you Master, for protecting and guiding me throughout this journey. I can only do the three things with maximum righteous and good thoughts, as there is nothing else I can do to repay you.
