(Clearwisdom.net) I started to cultivate in Falun Dafa in 1998. During my 13 years of cultivation, through tribulations and tests of my xinxing, I have held steadfast faith in Master and Dafa. With the help of righteous thoughts and righteous actions, the power of Dafa revealed itself to me. I would like to share some experiences I had of being able to escape detention.
In September 2000, I was illegally arrested by police from the Politics and Security Division. They interrogated me about the source of my truth-clarification materials and whether I was giving any of those materials to others. At the time, I was the only one in my area who distributed materials, but I did not reveal anything. The Politics and Security head was very angry and said, “Lock him up in the other room for three days and we will deal with him later.”
On that particular evening, practitioners in the whole district were supposed to distribute fliers and put up posters regarding lawsuits against former Communist Party head Jiang Zemin. The key materials had not yet been distributed. If I wasn't able to participate, this effort would fail, so I had the thought that I had to go home. Within two to three minutes, the Politics and Security Head changed his mind, saying, “You, go wait in the stairway.” I walked out of the room, went straight downstairs, and left on my motorbike. I collected one thousand posters and one thousand brochures and distributed them to the coordinators in different areas. As a result, truth-clarifying materials were distributed all over the area. The authorities were greatly shocked.
Scaling a three-meter wall
On January 1, 2011, I went to Beijing with another practitioner to validate Dafa. We pulled out a banner with the words “Falun Dafa Is Good” at Tiananmen Square. We also shouted out the words in our hearts, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good! Our Master is innocent!” The policemen took us to the Tiananmen Police Station. In the afternoon, we were transferred to the Changping Detention Center. On January 2, we were transferred to the Fengtai Detention Center. I was finally illegally detained in the Heyi Police Station. The police locked up ten practitioners from different provinces together in a metal cage. We were made to sit apart on the floor and were not allowed to talk. We went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention. The police interrogated me and told me that, as long as I provided my province of birth and my name, I would be allowed to go home. I recognized their plot. My heart was like still water: I ignored their questions and just recited in my heart, “Be resolute cultivating Dafa, the mind unstirred.” (“True Character is Revealed” from Hong Yin II)
On January 2, the police saw that I was refusing to cooperate, so four officers handcuffed my hands behind my back, beat me, and force-fed me. They then took me to the garage in the yard. They stripped me and poured water down my back. The temperature in Beijing was –10 degrees Celsius at that time. The police also hit me all over with hammers. I did not think of anything, and only silently recited, “In death, regretting naught;” (“Nothing Kept” from Hong Yin). I did not feel cold or pain. But the evildoers were all so cold that they were shivering. I knew that it was compassionate Master who had endured on my behalf.
The police tortured me for several hours. At around midnight, they were all tired out. They saw that I was not moving and thought that I was done for, so they left. I quickly had the thought, “I must not collapse. I must go save sentient beings.” It was with this steadfast faith and thought that a miracle happened. I was able to endure the pain and put on my wet clothes. I walked out of the room and, holding on to the protective mesh on the first floor, somehow managed to climb over a wall that was two to three meters high. I then entered another courtyard and climbed over another wall, but did not feel anything. I knew that it was once again Master who had saved me. I was so touched and filled with gratitude that tears ran down my cheeks.
During that cold winter night, I walked alone down the street. My clothes were all frozen with icicles. I was thinking in my heart of Master’s words in Zhuan Falun:
“When you are overcoming a real hardship or tribulation, you try it. When it is difficult to endure, try to endure it. When it looks impossible and is said to be impossible, give it a try and see if it is possible.”
I turned a corner and found three braziers burning coal. I dried my clothes in front of the fire. It was already 5 a.m. The traffic slowly increased. I got into a taxi and safely reached the train station. I went back to my hometown and continued doing the three things and assisting Master with Fa-rectification.
I was able to walk out of the police station with righteous thoughts. At that moment, I really felt the vast compassion of Master. The power of Dafa was revealed before my eyes. Tears once again blurred my vision.
I wrote this article to validate Master’s compassion and greatness, and to validate the supernormal things that practitioners experience during their cultivation.
