(Clearwisdom.net) On March 28, 2004, police officers found Falun Dafa truth clarifying materials on a bus. They then went to my relative's home, and found Dafa materials in her house, so they forced her to tell them my address. The next day I was arrested by the police department and sent back to my hometown. They threatened to send me to prison (I had been illegally sentenced to nine years in March 2002, but was serving the sentence outside the prison).
One week later, on April 7, around 3:00 p.m., four policemen came to notify me that they were taking me to prison. I took some clothes and a quilt and followed them into their police car. I was very calm, and sent forth righteous thoughts to deny their persecution of me. At about 5:00 p.m. we arrived at the detention center. The police officers who had taken me produced documents relating to "administering my sentence outside the prison." They planned to have me admitted, but when the manager read the facts that I had written in advance and produced for him, he did not continue with the admittance procedures.
I knew my righteous thoughts worked. The manager called the director of the detention center, and told the director my situation. The director refused to accept me because I am too old and I have too many health problems. The policemen who took me there were getting very anxious, since it was now 6:00 p.m. Some of them wanted to go home for dinner and others had appointments. Three police officers lost their tempers and began to curse and stamp their feet furiously. They even asked the leader of the district where I live to contact the director of the detention center personally, but the director still would not accept me.
I then understood that the power of righteous thoughts is boundless, so I didn't stop sending forth righteous thoughts. At the same time, I asked Teacher to reinforce me. I silently repeated, "I want to go back home, I want to go back home!" Around 7:00 p.m., the above-mentioned district leader demanded over the phone that I be sent to the First Detention Center, but they refused to admit me. They contacted the local women's prison, and the authorities there also would not accept me. They did not know how to get out of this situation and save face. Finally they told me that there had been some miscommunication within the police department, so they let me go back home.
Just like that, from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., the farce hastily ended. It was midnight when they sent me back home.
I said in my heart: "What a merciful Teacher! Dafa is so amazing!"
Because of my limited education, I cannot completely express my gratitude to Dafa and to Teacher. What I do understand is that when we do things according to Master's teachings, and with strong righteous thoughts, there will be no tribulations that we cannot overcome.
