(Minghui.org) I obtained the Fa on January 1, 1999. Here I'd like to share my experience of how I made use of legal channels to save people. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
Making Use of the Law to Oppose the Persecution
After I was released from detention, I thought that I should seek justice from the involved government departments. However, I was very tired because of my attachments, and my friends and relatives didn't understand me, so I didn't do anything. Six months later, I felt that I needed to study the Fa more and think about the issue carefully before taking action.
Through studying the Fa, I suddenly realized that I should have taken action right after I enlightened to what I should do. It was a pity that I had wasted so much time. That night, the evil started to torture me physically. I was very dizzy and couldn't see clearly. I knew that it was the evil that didn't want to be destroyed. I sent forth righteous thoughts for half an hour, and I started feeling better. It was very quiet all around me. After we sent forth righteous thoughts at midnight, I had fully recovered.
On the third day, I took a bus to the police department. The bus broke down after only one stop, so I asked Master for help. Soon after, the driver called another bus to come. I took this bus, but it didn't stop at the right station. I had to walk back one stop to the police department. Despite the challenges, I felt at ease, and I could sense that my dimensional field was very clean and clear. I knew that Master had helped me cleanse it. I walked into the lobby and found the person I was looking for, and he was shocked to see me. I calmly told him the facts about Falun Gong.
Filing a Lawsuit Against the Evil
When I was at the police department to seek justice, I was told that they were simply “following orders” and that I could sue them if I wanted to. I knew it was Master pointing out the right direction for me, and I decided to sue them. One day when I was doing the fifth exercise, I achieved tranquility. I saw black clouds, and there was large hole through which I could see that the sky was very bright. I knew it was Master encouraging me. A practitioner that I had never met before initially cooperated with me. She printed materials for me, and I thought it was Master's arrangement. I wrote out the document with the charges and gave it to her for printing. I then sent it to various departments: the municipal court, the city's Procuratorate, the political and judiciary department, and the police department.
Taking Action Without Delay, Studying the Fa, and Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts Intensively
When processing my lawsuit, the government departments constantly tried to shift responsibility onto others. The city Procuratorate said they were not responsible for this case, and asked us to look for the district Procuratorate. Then I went to the appeals section of the district Procuratorate, but no one was there. I went from room to room to ask where I should submit my lawsuit. One person told me that I should go to the police department.
I went to the police department. The officer on duty read the document and helped me contact the right person, who told me to go to the district court.
I went to the district court, but I was told that I must get an approval letter from the municipal court first. They also told me that I should try to get the municipal court to accept my indictment. I enlightened that it was Master telling me it was time to clarify the truth to everyone in the municipal court. One morning, I went to five departments to clarify the truth. When I was on my way back, my attachment of fear emerged. I thought: “What if they arrested me?” Then I felt the building was very big, and I felt very small. However, I realized that this was wrong immediately, “I am a Dafa practitioner, and I should not fear evil.” When my righteous thought emerged, I felt very tall, and the building did not seem so big anymore.
Then I shared my experience with fellow practitioners. They prepared lots of truth-clarifying letters and sent them with my document to the related personnel and departments. The municipal court accepted my lawsuit, and things went smoothly. Soon I received the summons, stating that my case would be opened on a certain date.
Improving Xinxing and Expanding My Capacity
When I received the summons, I went directly to the home of the practitioner who had helped me, and wanted to share my thoughts with her. However, she tried to avoid me and told me that she was afraid and also very busy. On my way back home, this weighed heavily on my mind. The only practitioner who could help me wouldn't help me anymore. I couldn't sleep that night. I looked inside and tried to discuss the issue with more practitioners. Some thought it would be too difficult and asked me to give it up. Some said, “Keep going. You found this chance through a lot of effort, and you can't give it up.”
Master then sent a practitioner to see me. She reminded me that this was a good thing, and that all I needed to do was to improve my xinxing. For the next few days, this practitioner accompanied me to clarify the truth to lawyers. I received a court notice that it had rejected my suit. I wanted to appeal to a higher court, but how do I write the appeal letter? I had no idea. Then a practitioner that I had never met before helped me write the appeal letter, and some lawyers gave me suggestions. My case is still under appeal right now.
During the process, the practitioners' cooperation has been key. We sent out righteous thoughts intensively and wrote truth-clarifying letters. This shocked and cleared away the evil, and it helped save sentient beings. We need to study the Fa a lot, and every thought should be based on the Fa. Our attachments could emerge any time, but we have to discard them and deny the old forces' arrangement.
I hope that all practitioners who have suffered persecution as I did will put away their attachments and use the Fa to guide them, making use of the law to expose the evil and save more people.
