(Clearwisdom.net) I went to Beijing to validate the Fa in early autumn of 2000. On the Golden Water Bridge near Tiananmen Square I unfurled a banner with the words “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” while calling aloud, “Falun Dafa is good! Restore the innocence of my Teacher!” Several armed policemen dashed toward me, snatched the banner, and attempted to drag me into a police van. I grabbed the bridge rail, and even two or three police agents couldn't move me. Finally, they me pushed me into the police van.
Feeling No Pain While Being Shocked with Electric Batons
Because I refused to provide my name and address, the persecutors sent me to the Dongfeng Police Station. On the way there I tried to escape, and cut my elbow and my face. The police handcuffed me with my arms behind my back to a metal chair, and shocked me for a long time with an electric baton. Finally, the guard who was torturing me said that he needed to recharge the electric baton and left.
The guard remaining in the room said to me, “It looks like you are innocent and we are criminals.” When the other guard returned and continued shocking me with the electric baton, I looked him in the eye. He immediately dodged away. The strong electric current from the baton made me shake, but it felt just like a painless mosquito bite.
I remembered Master's words from Essentials for Further Advancement II,
“This period of time will not last long, but it can forge the mighty virtue of magnificent Enlightened Beings, Buddhas, Daos, and Gods of different levels, and even Lords of different levels. It can also destroy overnight a cultivator who has reached a really high level but who has become less strict with himself.” ("Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciples")
Because I had Dafa in my heart I was able to witness the power of Dafa.
Torture Ended Due to Faith in Master
While I was mistreated and tortured, I was hesitant and felt guilty about asking Master for help, since I knew that Master had suffered tremendously for us disciples. Once while being tortured I smelled my skin burning and thought, “Master, please help me.” With that thought, the thug stopped torturing me. After that, they no long tortured me, because of Master's help.
I later realized that Master has been taking care of us the whole time. When I felt hesitant about asking Master for help, I actually was acting based on human notions. The evil thus took advantage of my notions and tortured me. Asking Master for help amid persecution is a result of faith in Master and Dafa. The old forces will stop persecuting us if we ask Master for help, since Master does not allow Dafa disciples to be harmed.
Scab Disappears
There was another miraculous experience in the detention center. It was my third day into a hunger strike. I had symptoms of severe heart problems, although in the past I had never had heart disease. The detention center head stormed in furiously, accompanied by several guards. I asked myself, “Am I able to face this?” I then remembered Master's words from Hong Yin,
“In life, nothing sought,
In death, regretting naught;
Washing away all wrong thought,
Buddhahood, with less
adversity, is wrought.”
I immediately felt relaxed. With my righteous thoughts the evil lost its momentum. The detention center head asked me, “Do you want to go home?” I replied, “Of course I do.” He paused and said, “You can leave after the injury on your face recovers.” Because of my jumping out of the police van, I had a large laceration that covered more than half of my face. After washing my face the next morning, the inmates looking at me were shocked and exclaimed, “The scab is gone!” Upon hearing this, the detention center head and the guards came to take a look. They saw that my face was normal, as if there had been no injury at all.
Arm Recovers
After jumping out of the police van I dared not to move my left arm. The elbow was bleeding and bruised, and my sleeve was soaked with hardened blood. At the detention center I kept on doing the Falun Gong exercises, sending righteous thoughts, and reciting the Fa every day. After a few days, my left arm regained strength, and I could soon move it freely. This showed me once again the miraculous effects of Dafa.
When going to Beijing to validate the Fa this time I took a month off from my job. It was exactly one month later when I returned home, on the day of the Moon Festival. I was also able to go back to work as usual the next day. I was very grateful for Master's help.
Blessed by Master
With Master's help I have met many kind people in this city, although I had not been here before.
When I was sent to the detention center, my face was severely bruised. A guard with a medical background suspected that it was due to a skull fracture and suggested a physical examination. At the prison hospital the doctor said, “I have never seen a person in as good a shape as you. If this turns out be to skull fracture, you will be released unconditionally.” The detention center head, as well as some guards and inmates also wanted me to be released. I knew that many people wanted to help me because of Master's compassion.
