(Minghui.org) I went to a remote mountain area four years ago to distribute informational materials about Falun Gong. By noon I still had a dozen DVDs left when I met a group of students. One 7 or 8-year-old girl asked me for the DVDs. I said, “I can only give you one, and you can share it with each other. I need to keep the remaining DVDs for others.” She threatened me and said, “Give me all of them. If you don't, I'll shout for someone to arrest you.”
She really did shout and a man in his 50s hurried over. He grabbed my clothes and accused me of doing harm. I said, “I'm here to tell you the facts about Falun Gong. Let go of me!”
He dragged me towards the village and shouted at a group of people. I thought, “This is a good chance to clarify the truth.” Everyone who came over listened and understood.
However, the man still wasn't convinced and wanted to call the police. I smiled and said, “Don't. Don't do something that will harm yourself and others.” He said, “I insist.” I said calmly, “Don't. The call won't go through.” I silently asked Master to strengthen me. Sure enough, he couldn't get through. He called the police department next but still wasn't able to get through. Finally, his cell phone switched off.
Thwarted, he raised his fist in anger to hit me. I was not angry and continued smiling. I said, “Don't be like that. It's not good for you.”
He said fiercely, “Don't smile at me. I'll hit you even if you do.” I said, “I'm not scared of you, because you can't touch me.” He gnashed his teeth in anger, raised his fist with his hands still trembling but did not dare to hit me.
After a while, someone next to him pulled him away and asked him to let me off. However, he was determined. He borrowed someone's phone and made a call to the local military. When the officer came, I clarified the truth to him and gave him some materials. He knew that I was a good person so he decided not to intervene.
Later, an old lady came and said, “You've finished talking. Leave quickly.” I knew that Master was giving me a hint to leave.
This experience made me really realize that:
“Compassion can harmonize Heaven and Earth, ushering in springRighteous thoughts can save the people in this world”(“The Fa Rectifies the Cosmos” in Hong Yin Vol II)
Master will definitely let us display our divine side at the critical moment as long as we constantly maintain righteous thoughts and righteous actions.
Evildoing Police Mend Their Ways
Other practitioners and I were arrested when we went out to post truth-clarification materials. I still did the exercises, sent forth righteous thoughts, and memorized the Fa every day in the detention center. I complained that my rights were being violated when I wasn't allowed to practice. A guard told me to come into his office for a chat. He wanted me to follow their report procedure, but I refused. He locked the door, pulled my hair, and start hitting me.
I was very calm. I knew that they would start to beat me when they closed the door, because they were afraid of being exposed, so I shouted, “Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” I continued to shout while they beat me. They stopped when they got tired. My head was covered with bruises, but I felt no pain. I know that Master was enduring the pain for me.
They pulled my hair and banged my head against the wall. I pushed them away and said sternly, “Would a person that cultivates Falun Gong be afraid of death?” They let go of me immediately and poured a glass of water for me. They asked me calmly, “Do you hate us?” I answered, “No, I don't. We cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. How can I hate you?”
They saw that I was determined and asked why I wanted to practice. I shared my personal experience to clarify the truth to them, and they expressed their sympathy. Two days later, they brought me a nice set of clothes. I am very happy that they decided to do the right thing, because they put themselves in a good position.
How I Began Cultivating
My health was poor when I was young, and my parents spent all their savings on my treatments. In 1998, my dad had the opportunity to start cultivating. I witnessed the amazing power of Dafa. His incurable headaches stopped, and his disabled foot became normal. He no longer had a bad temper.
The changes in my dad sparked my curiosity. I borrowed Zhuan Falun from him. After reading it once, I found the answers to questions I had wondered about for years, and I started studying the Fa and doing the exercises with my dad.
I became strong and healthy after cultivating. I changed from pessimistic to cheerful. To be able to obtain this Dafa of the universe, life became so precious and beautiful!
Becoming a Truly Cultivating Disciple
There was a heavy burden at home as my mother died young. To help my dad, I started working at the age of 16 to earn the tuition fees for my siblings. Since I had to stay in a dormitory when I worked in a factory, I was not able to study the Fa and do the exercises. The Chinese Communist Party was persecuting Falun Gong severely.
Master used the appearance of sickness karma to give me a hint to go home. I recalled what Master said:
“It is because there is such a principle in the universe: Ordinary human affairs, according to the Buddha School, all have predestined relationships. Birth, old age, illness, and death exist as such for ordinary people.” (Lecture One in Zhuan Falun)
It dawned upon me that only when I became a truly cultivating disciple and made strict requirements for myself would I be able to break away from the suffering of birth, old age, illness, and death, the reincarnation cycle of samsara.
I found a job in a city near home and rented a room. That way, I could study the Fa and do the exercises every day. I also brought truth-clarification materials with me and distributed them when I had time. My dad suggested that I write my own truth-clarification letters when I ran out of materials and did not have the time to go home and get more.
It used to be very difficult for me to write articles in the past. However, I am now a Dafa disciple. Dafa will give me wisdom when I put my heart into it. With Master's help, I can pick up my pen and write. I don't need to draft the letters and I can write dozen of letters every day. I distribute them after knocking off from work. As I send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil interference, I deliver the letters. It may be because I sincerely wish to save people that moves them, and they usually accept the letters gladly.
I felt happy for all those that accepted my letters. I put all my heart into writing each one. Although the persecution was very serious in 2004, I was able to have righteous thoughts and righteous actions under Master's compassionate care. I tried my best to save sentient beings and did not have any attachment of fear. I have no doubt that everything has been arranged by our compassionate Master and that I'm only following Master's requirements to do it.
