Playing a Leading Role in Saving Police Officers

Sept. 14, 2021 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) I sued Jiang Zemin (former leader of the Chinese Communist Party) in 2015 for initiating the persecution of Falun Dafa. I feel the current situation has changed a lot, as many police officers are longing to be saved.

A police officer recently knocked on my door. I didn’t know why he came, so I didn't answer and began sending forth righteous thoughts.

But I felt something was wrong after sending righteous thoughts for just one minute. In my mind, I knew that if the officer had evil intentions, righteous thoughts could eliminate them, but righteous thoughts will not eliminate unrelated factors; they only take care of what they are supposed to.

I then remembered once saying that I wanted to save our local police officers. So I thought, now that an officer has really come, why am I treating him as being evil?

It was not the true me who was frightened. I knew I should change this rigid notion and eliminate any impulses of self-protection.

Master Li Hongzhi said:

“This period of history was arranged for Dafa disciples to save sentient beings, so why haven't you taken the lead role? Why give top priority to the words of ordinary people who have been indoctrinated with the wicked party's culture? Why have you paid so much attention to the evil's persecution? This is worth giving serious thought to. Master would not have said these things before the persecution started in 1999, but you are now Dafa disciples who have made it through, and you are Dafa disciples who will soon achieve Consummation.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2008 New York Conference,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. VIII)

I didn’t understand this paragraph of the Fa very well in the past. I now know that Master made arrangements for practitioners to use the time after the persecution started in 1999 for Dafa to save people.

I should follow Master’s arrangement and best utilize my time to play the leading role. People of all professions are looking forward to salvation, and the police are among them.

Being a police officer is just one’s profession, while saving people targets their hearts. The situation changed after I changed my notion!

I called the police officer and asked him to come to my home. He told me he was busy, so I asked why he knocked on my door, and he replied, “I was ordered to inform you that your case was not closed after you were arrested and taken to the detention center for suing Jiang.

“You refused to cooperate, went on a hunger strike, and returned home. Now the National Security Team is summoning you to go to the Procuratorate to complete the procedure of being released on bail, pending trial. Afterward, your case will continue.”

I told him to wait for me as I wanted to talk to him in person. We met and I told him the truth about Falun Dafa for an hour.

This officer said he did not want to participate in the persecution, “I told you what I was asked to tell you, and I am done with my job. It is up to you whether you listen to me or whether you go to the Procuratorate.”

In the end, I didn’t go to the Procuratorate. I instead wrote a letter to the two National Security Team leaders to clarify the truth.

A year later, both team leaders were transferred, and one of them left the public security profession. The officer who came to my home is a very kind person, but he was poisoned by the Communist Party culture, and the public security system publicized him as a role model.

After talking with him a few times, he finally understood the truth, felt the kindness of a Dafa practitioner, and agreed to quit the Chinese Community Party (CCP). He was promoted to the deputy director of the police station soon afterward.

He told me, “Your case ended, and the two National Security Team leaders were transferred. Nobody from our police station wants to persecute Falun Dafa now.However, you must be very careful, as we won’t be able to protect you when it comes to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security.”

I have since used various forms to clarify the truth to police officers. I treat them as friends, rather than police. These officers (including the director) showed their knowing side of goodness and agreed to quit the CCP.

The police station appointed a new director last year. I happened to meet him at the deputy director’s office. When the deputy director introduced me to the new director, I added, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner.”

He asked me if I still practiced Falun Dafa. I told him that I have been practicing Dafa for more than 20 years.

The director sat down and asked, “What are the benefits of Falun Dafa?” I told him that practicing Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance improves people’s physical health and moral standards. I also mentioned that Dafa helps people understand the meaning of life.

He nodded, lit a cigarette, and continued to listen, as if he had forgotten his duties that day. I later mailed him a periodical on Dafa and included a short letter about why it was important for him to quit the CCP.

During the pandemic, I went to the police station and saw that the packages purchased online by the police were piled up on the floor at the main entrance.I also saw that many truth clarification letters sent by Dafa practitioners were in the duty room. Those letters addressed to specific police officers had been picked up.

Only one letter without the receiver's name had not yet been picked up. The officer on duty lowered his voice and said, “This letter is from you Falun Dafa practitioners. One can tell from the envelope.”

That day, I met an officer I hadn't seen before. I told him about truth of Dafa, and he agreed to quit the CCP. He then whispered, asking if he should also remember the phrase, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!?”

I said yes and he immediately took off his goggles and mask, “I don’t like to wear a mask. It’s safe to remember ‘Falun Dafa is good!’”
