Stand Firmly in the Fa and Nobody Can Harm You

Jan. 29, 2011 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) What is the safest path for Falun Dafa practitioners? In my understanding, it is the path arranged by Teacher that we follow by standing firmly in the Fa. A Dafa practitioner who assimilates completely into the Fa cannot be harmed by anyone. Teacher said:

“If you are a true practitioner, our Falun will safeguard you. I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe.” (Zhuan Falun)

In early November 2010, I heard that staff from the provincial 610 Office were coming to my area to check on practitioners. According to Party rules, every department must be inspected yearly. I heard that they would be checking on five practitioners in my area.

One evening around 5 p.m., I was cooking at home when several staff members from the judicial department where I worked and three 610 Office agents (one chief and two staff members) came to visit. They asked, “When the provincial 610 Office agents come to check on you, can you tell them that you've stopped practicing Falun Dafa? You can still practice at home afterwards.” I replied, “I can't, that's absolutely impossible. Even if Jiang Zemin himself comes, I will still say that I practice. It's just like if you went to a temple and asked a monk to return to a normal life, just stop being a monk. He wouldn't agree even if you beat him to death. It is impossible for Falun Dafa practitioners to say we'll stop practicing since it is such a serious matter. No one can force us.” They fearfully asked, “Then when they are here, can you not say things against the Party, such as referring to the movement to renounce one's membership in the Party?” I answered, “Didn't I tell you about the ancient stone in Guizhou engraved with the words 'The Chinese Communist Party will perish?' That is divine intervention. Dafa practitioners are merely acting according to divine will, while at the same time validating Dafa and compassionately saving those sentient beings who can be saved.” They seemed to understand, but still looked worried. I said I could go to my hometown. The leader agreed, but the case officer hurriedly said, “No, if you go to your hometown, they won't be able to find you here. What would I do then?” I suggested that she say the same thing that I told the district 610 Office agent the last time he came: that I would expose them for their wicked deeds, such as when they illegally arested me in 2007. The officers had no alternative but to agree.

I reconsidered what had just happened after they left. I wondered why I had thought of returning to my hometown. Did I want to avoid a confrontation? Did I still have some fears? Then I suddenly thought: What is evil in the face of such a grand Dafa?

“We cultivate something so enormous that it equates to cultivating the universe.” (Zhuan Falun)

Compared to the universe's Dafa, the evil is really not worth mentioning.

You are Gods, and you are the future rulers of different cosmoses, so who would you count on? All the beings are counting on you!” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.”)

Thanks to Teacher's merciful hints, I realized this was a good chance to save people. If they came, I would clarify the truth and save them. Normally I wouldn't have the chance to speak with them. My mind was suddenly calm as still water, and very steady. I felt that as long as I had Teacher and Dafa, nobody could harm me.

But they never came. Towards the end of November, I went to my workplace to clarify the truth, and told them not to write anything bad, that it could only harm them. The Party cadre said, “I know, we didn't write anything. We reported back to the 610 Office about what you had said, and they just said that they wouldn't go to your home.”

I came to realize that as long as I truly stand firmly in the Fa, I won't encounter any difficulty. Teacher said:

“With such an enormous Fa here, the Fa will be with you when your thoughts are righteous, and this is the greatest assurance. But on the other hand, when your righteous thoughts are inadequate and not in line with the Fa, you will be cut off from the Fa’s power, and it will seem like you are alone and getting no help. Even if the things you are doing are Dafa things, you still have to conform to the Fa or else the Fa’s power will not be there.” “Fa Teaching Given in Manhattan (March 26, 2006 ~ in New York)”

Therefore we must study the Fa more and assimilate to the Fa. The evil won't dare to persecute a practitioner who is completely in the Fa, and no harm will come to you.
