(Minghui.org) I went through an amazing transformation after I filed a lawsuit against Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese dictator who launched the persecution against Falun Dafa. Thus I would like to share my experience with others who may be undecided and have not submitted criminal complaints themselves.
Reluctance to File Criminal Complaint
A practitioner asked me in June 2015 if I was going to file a criminal complaint against Jiang Zemin. I said that I had not thought about it, but I was unsure how to go about it. She suggested that she could edit once I had written a draft. I was busy with other things, so I told her that I would hold off at this time.
She said that the Fa-rectification had reached the stage where true practitioners should sue Jiang. I was non-committal and evaded the topic. Before she left, she asked me to consider her suggestion and offered again to help.
After she left, I was filled with fear. In fact, I had been in a state of fear for some time. I was afraid to talk to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution, or to encourage them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliates. I was overly cautious when using currency marked with messages about Falun Dafa at the market. Mostly, I worried that doing these things would disrupt my comfortable life.
Yet I thought superficially that I studied the Fa well, did the exercises, told people about Dafa, and sent righteous thoughts. So why was I in such a poor cultivation state?
My celestial eye is open and Master often points things out to me. Thus, I asked Master for help. There were no signs from Master this time, so I forgot about the lawsuit and thought I would just wait for Master to enlighten me.
Sudden Illness Attack
I was having lunch with my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson one weekend. In the middle of it, I fell over and lost consciousness. I woke up a day later in the intensive care unit. I asked my son what had happened to me. He said that I had a heart attack and collapsed.
“I'm not sick and I don't have any heart disease,” I said. “I want to get out of the hospital and go home!”
My family and the doctors disagreed and refused to discharge me from the hospital. My son and daughter-in-law said they planned to find the best doctor to operate on me.
“I know you are being a good son,” I responded. “My illness is just an illusion, and Master is taking care of me. I'm leaving the hospital!” I signed some medical documents and was discharged.
Puzzled
My son and daughter-in-law were worried and would not leave me unattended. I told them to continue with their daily life, and that I wanted to study Falun Dafa books and do the exercises. They said some disrespectful things about Master and Dafa, and I asked them to stop. They had doubts about the practice, but I did not know how to explain things to them.
In fact, I was quite puzzled myself. I knew Master had been protecting me for the past 20 years, but I felt that He was not looking after me then; otherwise, I would not have had the symptoms of a heart attack. I was hoping that Master would point things out, but at that exact time, He did not.
“Master does not want to leave any practitioner behind”
A practitioner came to visit me. I cried and told her that I almost died. As I kept talking, I said some disrespectful things about Master and Dafa. The practitioner stopped me.
“You are supposed to cultivate yourself and not expect Master to cultivate for you,” she said. “So how can you blame Master for your problems? Do you remember what Master said in 'Fa Teaching Given at the 2015 New York Fa Conference,' about suing Jiang? This is such an important issue, so how can you avoid it? The old forces must have seen the loophole in your cultivation. Therefore, they wanted to take your life. Master does not want to leave any practitioner behind. I think you should follow Master's teachings better.”
Finally, I understood that cultivation is solemn, and that it was important to sue Jiang. I interrupted her. “Jiang Zemin persecuted Falun Dafa and should be brought to justice!” I grabbed her hand and cried, “I'm so ashamed of myself, and I have let Master down!”
“You were so steadfast at the beginning of the persecution,” she responded. “You went to the city and the provincial government agencies and appealed for the right to practice Dafa. You traveled to Tiananmen Square to defend Dafa. You carried and distributed bags of informational pamphlets about Dafa. Police ransacked your house and took your Zhuan Falun, and you grabbed it from their hands. Your righteous thoughts were so strong. You were not afraid of anything.”
I was thankful for her frankness, and I gained a deeper understanding of Master's teaching on “Cultivate with the heart you once had, and success is certain.” (“Fa Teaching on World Falun Dafa Day”)
I spent three days writing a draft, and the practitioner edited it for me. I sent the complaint letter to the Chinese Supreme People's Procuratorate within 10 days, and received a confirmation.
Incredible Visions
An incredible thing happened after I finished the first draft. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and leaned back. An electrocardiograph appeared in front of me, and a cord was attached to my body.
The screen showed a lump of sticky dark substance that looked like my heart. It gradually turned from black to red, became bright, and blood vessels started to show. They were crooked and warped at first and then they straightened. They were white, then they turned shiny and translucent. I opened my eyes to take a good look, and the image disappeared.
Once I realized what was going on, I felt relaxed and rejuvenated. If it were not for Master's compassionate salvation, I would have already gone to hell. Master must have worried so much! Tears rolled down my face.
After I mailed the complaint letter, just after I finished sending forth righteous thoughts, I saw an old woman in a wheelchair. An elderly man pushed the wheelchair toward me. The old woman's left leg and foot were bent outward, and she was in tremendous pain.
I tried to straighten her leg and foot, and she yelled, “It's none of your business. Leave me alone!” I was about to leave since she did not appreciate my help. Then, her leg and foot became painfully twisted, so I straightened them again. The old man pushed me away and yelled, “Go away! Who needs your help. Go mind your own business.”
I was not resentful, since she was in so much pain. I was about to straighten her leg and foot again when they disappeared.
I also had sharp pains in my foot for years, and I could not stand when it acted up. Yet when I stood up to go to the bathroom, my leg and foot no longer hurt. After I started to practice Falun Dafa, the pain was reduced and it rarely happened. But, this time, Master eliminated the source of the pain. I realized the old woman was my old self. When I acknowledged my mistakes and rectified myself, Master was able to help me.
Just when I was feeling guilty and joyful at the same time, my house was suddenly transformed into a majestic, dazzling, and colorful place, where fairies danced in the air. As I enjoyed the scene, my daughter-in-law walked into the room. I told her to look at the scene, but everything had turned back to normal and she could not see anything.
I thanked Master from deep within my heart.
