(Clearwisdom.net) Master asks us to cooperate as one-body and coordinate well. “The next person's things are your things, and your things are his things.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference”) While rescuing a fellow practitioner, we followed what Master asked us to do and the detained practitioner was successfully released.
During our group Fa study in mid-November 2010, we became aware that one of our practitioners was arrested. We all came to an agreement that we must understand the situation and expose the evil on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website.
The next day, we went to the practitioner's sister to get more information. She told us that while her brother was posting truth-clarification stickers on the street at night on November 8, he was arrested and taken to a detention center. We decided to expose the evil on the Minghui website to make more practitioners aware of this, to support and strengthen us with their righteous thoughts and to also clarify the truth to more people to save them. We started sending forth righteous thoughts near the detention center every day.
We immediately made truth-clarification flyers and stickers, distributing and posting them next to the detention center as well as around the police station where the arrested practitioners were being held.
Other practitioners went to the police station with the sister to demand the release of the practitioner. They also managed to get the names of the police officers in the police station and sent the information to the Minghui website. Overseas practitioners then made truth-clarification phone calls to the police station every day.
We also wrote letters and sent informational materials to the police station.
The practitioner was sentenced to one year in a forced labor camp in mid-December, but we did not give up on our rescue effort. We shared our thoughts again as a group and decided to sue the police station. The fellow practitioner was released four days later, supposedly due to high-blood pressure. He returned home from the forced labor camp.
We have several thoughts to share based on this experience:
1. Everybody is a coordinator. Everybody was actively participating in the rescue effort.
After practitioners heard about this news, they took turns sending forth righteous thoughts next to the detention center and police station. It was in the winter and the weather was very cold, windy and snowing. However, the practitioners persevered and continued to go there to send forth righteous thoughts, even including a 70-year-old and an 80-year-old practitioner.
Some practitioners offered to go with the family to the 610 Office, police department and police station to request the release of the practitioner. Each time,they always collected the police officers' information, which provided convenience for further truth-clarification.
2. Clarifying the truth to the practitioner's family, who also actively participated in rescuing the practitioner.
The ex-wife of the practitioner is a kindhearted person who also understands the truth. We went to her to further clarify the truth. She said, “He is my child's father and also part of my family. I will go ask for his release.” Fellow practitioners went with her to the 610 Office and the police station. She clarified the truth to those people, “I went to Hong Kong and witnessed the truth about Falun Gong everywhere there. The practitioners practiced the exercises publicly in the park.” This effectively subdued the evil.
3. Improving as One-body
During the thirty days of our rescue efforts, fellow practitioners cooperated with one another without any complaint. Our xinxing improved as one-body. The fellow practitioner would not have been arrested without any loopholes. The evil would not have taken advantage of him. This served as a warning to all of us that we should cultivate ourselves well in order to avoid any evil interference.
4. Suppressing the perpetrators who participated in the persecution.
Fellow practitioners went with the family to the police station to request the practitioner's release and clarify the truth. In the beginning, the perpetrators were rude and aggressive. Later, their tone changed and they started begging practitioners, “Please do not call us any more. Our phone lines are exploding. Please do not send us more letters. Look, every day, we receive a huge pile of letters. Please do not post any more posters as our gate is full of your posters already. Everybody knows about us in the country now.” Later, they did not dare to meet with practitioners any more. In this process, some people came to know the truth and withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party, even including the gate-keeper of the detention center and staff members.
