(Clearwisdom.net) Two practitioners were reported to the authorities when several of us went out to the countryside to distribute truth-clarifying materials. They were arrested and taken to the local Domestic Security Division. Assisted by a coordinator, practitioners actively worked together to rescue them ten hours after their arrests.
Rescue Effort Process
We lost contact with the two practitioners at around 11:00 a.m. on the day that we went out to distribute the materials. A police car was seen speeding through the village with them inside.
One of the practitioners drove the others to practitioner A's home. We stayed there together, while practitioner A went to the Public Security Bureau to find out more details about the arrests. By talking to one of the officers, an acquaintance of hers who knew the facts about Falun Gong, she was able to get the phone number of the head of the local township police station.
Three hours passed, and we still hadn't heard from the arrested practitioners. Practitioner A called her acquaintance again and was informed that arrest warrants had been issued for the practitioners. Practitioner A then called the head of the township police station, and was told that the practitioners had been taken to the Domestic Security Division.
Practitioner A and practitioner B had clarified the facts to the head of the Domestic Security Division before, so they immediately called him again. He told them that he had been under a lot of pressure because of the last time he helped practitioners, and was reluctant to do so again.
Practitioner B told us that the Domestic Security Division head's attitude had a lot do with her. She said, “I was anxious when I talked to him before, and only thought about rescuing the practitioners. I didn't consider his situation.” With practitioner B's righteous thoughts, the head's attitude became more positive. When practitioner A called him again, he asked the practitioner to meet him so that they could talk. Practitioner A realized that this was a chance to clarify the facts again. With practitioner A and B's righteous thoughts, everyone realized that clarifying the facts to the police was very important, and that we should not let them commit any more crimes against practitioners.
The next time they called the head of the Domestic Security Division, they were told that the two practitioners would be released. After we heard this news, we reminded each other not to have any attachment of zealotry. Seven of us went to the Domestic Security Division at around 6:00 p.m. Practitioners A and C went inside, while the rest of us sent righteous thoughts outside.
Practitioner A talked to the officials there with compassion and dignity. They spoke with her warmly and respectfully. A young officer who did not know much about Falun Gong asked many questions and listened to her responses attentively.
Practitioner A then talked to the head of the Domestic Security Division. Since practitioner A had spoken with him before about Falun Gong, she directly asked him about releasing the practitioners. The head felt uncomfortable and found excuses to try to detain them for a few more days. Practitioner A realized that this was interference. Her heart was not moved and she was firm in wanting to rescue the practitioners that day. The head made a few phone calls and then confirmed that they would be released in three to five days. Practitioner A anxiously told him that if the practitioners were not released today, they could be transferred somewhere else or be sentenced. Practitioner C, who was also there, had some thoughts of agreeing with the head of the Domestic Security Division, but she immediately recognized that this was an unrighteous thought.
The head of the Domestic Security Division then made a few more phone calls. Practitioner A and C understood that the arrested practitioners should not be detained any longer. A few minutes later, the head said the arrested practitioners would be taken to the detention center and then be released. All of the practitioners then went to the detention center to send forth righteous thoughts and did not go home until the two arrested practitioners were released at 9:00 p.m.
Sharing on the Rescue Efforts
Through the process of rescuing the practitioners, I saw the compassion of practitioners. Master said,
“Mercy can melt heaven and earth into spring
Righteous thought can save people of the world”
(“Fa Rectifies the Cosmos” from Hong Yin Vol. II)
When practitioner A shared her understanding, she said, “On the way to the Domestic Security Division, I said to Master that I knew that these police officers need to be saved and I would do whatever Master wants me to do. Master handed the sentient beings to me, and I needed to clarify the facts sincerely with compassion.”
One-body cooperation was the most important aspect. What we are doing is for others, not ourselves. That is what Master wants. All of the practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts together and eliminated the old force factors that manipulated the police, so that they would not commit any more crimes against Dafa.
We have all agreed to keep in contact with the officers and to continue clarifying the facts to them, so that they can be truly saved.
