(Clearwisdom.net) Through deeply studying the Fa I realized that under any circumstance when we are facing the evil, as long as we have righteous thoughts and actions, the evil cannot do a single thing to us. The following is a discussion on a few things that I have experienced.
In late March 2002 I re-established contact with fellow practitioners and returned to the Fa-rectification after my release from a forced labor camp. One day in early April, as I was on my way out of my apartment to distribute a full load of Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials, I happened to encounter the secretary general of that street's residential office. This person usually would work together with the local police station to harass Dafa practitioners.
At the sight of me, he rushed over for a chat to try to persuade me to give up cultivation. Calmly but firmly I told him, "Falun Gong is most righteous. Sooner or later, the situation will turn around and Dafa's good name will be restored. Everything we do has to be completely up to our conscience. What do you say to that?" His face darkened, and while his mouth moved, he did not utter any words.
In mid April, the local police station learned that I had returned to my residence. Several times the neighborhood committee notified me to report to the police station. Meanwhile, I heard from fellow practitioners that the police station would demand that we sign a guarantee letter to stop practicing or we would be detained. I tried to ignore their summons to the police station.. One day the chairman of the neighborhood committee again came to find me. Suddenly it dawned on me that I should go to the police station and use the opportunity to tell them the facts about Falun Gong; I am a Dafa practitioner and I should fear no evil, as Master is with me and the Fa is with me.
On our way to the police station, I clarified the facts of the staged self-immolation tragedy on Tiananmen Square to the neighborhood committee chairman and told him of the atrocious persecution Falun Gong practitioners endure in the labor reeducation camps. Upon our arrival, the police station director greeted us with unusual courtesy and asked me if I still practiced Falun Gong or not. I told him more facts about Dafa. Although he pretended to try to get me to stop talking, it was obvious that he was listening with great interest. After I clarified the truth for a while, the police station director commented: "Fine. I asked you a simple question and you almost convert me! You may go home and from now on you don't need to come here." I walked out with my head held high.
At the end of August, I was detained for leaving town to attend a Fa conference. I was sent to the police station, where I went on a hunger strike to protest the unlawful arrest. On the second day they interrogated me. I refused to answer any questions but told them that as a citizen, I should be free to travel without needing to get permission. Finally I explained to them the heavenly law that goodness is rewarded and evil provokes retribution. The police station director interrupted my talk and said, "I cannot handle you practitioners. Alright, let's stop here." So that's how the interrogation ended.
The above are only some experiences I've had during my cultivation. If there is anything improper, fellow practitioners please compassionately correct me.
