(Minghui.org) Editor's note: Human thoughts are powerful, and Falun Dafa practitioners' are even more so because they adhere to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, the characteristic of the universe. The universe will reward thoughts and choices that are in harmony with this principle, while bad deeds such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic retribution. Below are two episodes of true stories the practitioner experienced in Liaoning.

Things Go My Way in the Labor Camp

When I was detained at a labor camp a few years ago, the guards forced all detained Falun Gong practitioners to participate in “political study,” a euphemism for brainwashing.

I refused to participate. Five guards beat me with batons. I sent forth righteous thoughts: they will receive karmic retribution for doing evil.

I didn't feel any pain during the beating, although I bled a lot and my face was deformed.

I didn't see some of the guards for a few days. One came back the next Monday and said to me, “I surrender. Because I beat you, I couldn't come to work for an entire week.” I learned that he was later diagnosed with gallstones and had to undergo surgery.

To resist the persecution at the labor camp, I began a hunger strike and was down to skin and bones. On the 16th day, the labor camp director took me to the hospital for a physical examination.

The first step was a blood test. I had firm thoughts: my blood is very precious, no one can take it away from me. In the end, four doctors failed to draw blood from me.

On the next day, the director brought me back to the hospital to re-do the blood test. I changed my mind, “I will give them two drops, and the test results should show a lot of health issues.” So the result showed that I was seriously ill and was dying.

The head guard of the labor camp offered to reduce my term there. I told him: “That won't do, I have got to be released unconditionally.” He agreed and signed on the paperwork.

When the labor camp director saw my release paperwork, he asked the head guard, “Who did this? How could it be done like this [unconditional release]?” The head guard said, “X [meaning me] asked me to write the release paperwork this way.” The director was surprised, “What? How can you follow her orders?”

The labor camp tried to call the police station to take me, but they couldn't reach anyone there. In the end, I was released and went home on my own.

Police Officer “Frozen”

I make a living repairing electronics. Once, I was walking down the street after a repair visit and saw a pamphlet on the ground about Falun Dafa and the persecution. I picked it up and began to read it.

An armed police officer walked up to me and asked: “What are you reading?”

I wasn't afraid at all. I told him, “This pamphlet has very good information. You should read it." The police officer took the pamphlet and began to read it.

I left while he was reading. When I looked back after walking for a long distance, he was still there reading the pamphlet.

I went to the same area for my repair business the next day. A friend in the community told me, “A police officer said that he was about to arrest you yesterday, but he just couldn't move his feet.” I knew that my righteous thoughts had frozen him.
