(Minghui.org) I was arrested by police right before the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The police tried to send me to a labor camp for a year. The labor camp refused to take me because I failed the physical exam. I was then put in a detention center until released. Here is my cultivation experience while imprisoned.
Changes Seen in the Detention Cell
In the detention center, I felt compassion for those young lives in the cell. I thought that I must have had a predestined relationship with them since I met them here. I wanted to clarify the truth to them.
I approached them and told them about the rock with the “hidden characters,” that says that heaven is going to eliminate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and that quitting the CCP and its affiliates will keep them safe. I asked them to quit any Party organization they joined. They all agreed to do the “three withdrawals” (renounce their membership in the CCP, the Youth League, or Young Pioneers). Some of them also told newcomers to do likewise.
I told them that the “Tiananmen Self-immolation” was fabricated by Jiang Zemin who wanted to stir up hatred against Falun Dafa. I also told them that Falun Dafa has spread to over 100 countries and regions. I asked them to recite, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” I shared with them numerous stories about how people received good rewards after accepting the truth.
After listening to what I said, they recited, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” A few days later, one girl told me that she saw some miraculous scenes when she was reciting, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Sometimes she saw these characters shine with golden light; sometimes she saw those golden characters enter her brain from her forehead and it felt wonderful. She now recites, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” at least 50 times a day. In a short time, they experienced Dafa's beauty and extraordinary capabilities which include: some of their health improved, for others their mood became relaxed, someone with insomnia slept well, etc.
Those who benefited from Dafa also shared their experiences with others. One day, L came back from a court hearing, was very emotional, and kept crying. We comforted her. Then G said: “You recite 'Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!' and your heart won't feel uncomfortable. I was like you before, always thinking of family matters and couldn’t fall sleep at night. Since I recited those words, everything has gotten better. I now recite those words before sleeping every night.”
There were girls who liked to make trouble. I talked to them individually, introduced Dafa's principles to them, and helped them understand heaven's law of good and evil returns and the behaviors and moral standards a person should follow. They listened to what I said. After a period of time, the cell's environment had a dramatic change. There was no more quarreling and swearing. The cell was peaceful, just like, “Buddha’s light shines everywhere, propriety and righteousness harmonize everything.” (“The Third Talk” in Zhuan Falun)
After seeing the dramatic changes, the female guard also felt Dafa's power. I clarified the truth to her in several different ways. She didn't believe or understand what I said at the beginning. However, she gradually sympathized with and supported me, and she reminded me not to let the patrol guards see me doing the exercises. Two girls who often gave her a headache were able to be strict with themselves after being with me for a period of time. Eventually, the female guard understood that only Dafa can change a person's heart and that Dafa practitioners can be trusted.
A “Trip” to the Labor Camp
On the morning that the authorities tried to again send me to the labor camp, I told the female guard when she was doing the routine check: “We are detained here only because we believe in Falun Dafa, which already is an injustice throughout the ages. After we failed the physical exams, not only were we not released, but we are sent to the labor camp again. Isn't that really evil?” She said: “It was decided upon by upper management. We cannot reject it. But we won't leave you in the labor camp. You just consider this as a trip to the labor camp.” I said: “I didn't commit any crime. I demand to be released unconditionally.”
While we were talking, a large white Falun was rotating in the cell. All the girls in the cell saw it. But they did not know what it was, they just felt it was strange. Later, they asked me what that was. I told them that it was a Falun! They were astonished: “Ah, there really is a Falun!”
On the day I was being taken to the labor camp, I sat on the bed board and sang Dafa practitioners' songs after getting up. Everyone in the cell sat quietly and listened to the songs and was heavy-hearted. They worried that I would be kept in the labor camp and they wouldn’t see me again.
On the way to the labor camp, I sang “De Du” and other songs I knew, and then I recited “Lun Yu”, Hong Yin, and other Fa teachings. I also clarified the truth to two girls who were not in the same cell as I was, and they did the “three withdrawals.” During the three-hour ride, the five police officers in the vehicle were quiet the whole time.
At the labor camp, my blood pressure was 190. The labor camp again refused to take me. On my way back to the detention center, I either sang songs or recited Fa teachings.
When I passed by the men's cell, I said loudly: “They didn't take me!” People in the man's cell clapped and said, “Greetings to auntie, Falun Gong is good!” This was how they responded every time I passed by their cell.
Girls in the cell were all very happy after seeing me back. After I told them what happened, they all felt it was inconceivable. W said, “My mom had high blood pressure, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't take medicine for two days. Your blood pressure was so high, and you could travel in a vehicle for such a long time without taking any medicine. It is miraculous.”
One lady in the cell had high blood pressure, and she couldn't get up when her blood pressure reached 170. That day W wrote in the cell logbook, “My mom and two aunties here all had high blood pressure, but two aunties acted in completely different ways. I personally witnessed the miraculous nature of Falun Dafa.”
In the detention center, I clarified the truth to anyone I met. One day, I was in the clinic to be checked for blood pressure and clarified the truth to the doctor. I told him, “We are persecuted just because we believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, are good people, and tell the truth. A ruling party arrests people who speak the truth, and the CCP even harvests organs from practitioners while still alive. Is there a reason that this party should be allowed to exist?” He expressed deep sympathy for us and said, “I also hope you can leave here as soon as possible. But I do not have the authority to do so.”
Concluding Remarks
In those days that I lost my freedom, I could still do things that a Dafa practitioner should do, and I was not interfered with due to Master's protection and righteous reinforcement of practitioners around the world. Numerous truth-clarification phone calls were made to the public security bureau and the detention center, which greatly deterred the evil.
