(Minghui.org) I was introduced to Falun Dafa in 1997. Because of my poor enlightenment quality at the time, I did not begin Dafa cultivation. In 2009, my husband was illegally arrested for practicing Dafa, and I was also illegally detained for 35 days. Three years later, in 2012, under the painstaking arrangement of Master and the kind guidance of fellow practitioners, I finally began to practice Falun Dafa.
In the beginning, I clarified the truth face-to-face to awaken people's conscience. I didn’t know how to cultivate my xinxing, and I didn’t know how to deal with issues in cultivation. As a result, I stumbled left and right on the road of cultivation. Fortunately, Master was always there to help, and give me hints. Thus, I was able to cultivate as a practitioner during the Fa-rectification period.
I had a dream in 2014. I took my granddaughter to ride the elevator straight up, passing a big tree along the way. Then, I woke up, but didn’t understand the implication of the dream.
Four or five days later, an elderly practitioner came to my home to study the Fa in the evening. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Seven or eight police officers entered when I opened the door. The elderly practitioner was let go due to her age. The police ransacked my home and found two boxes of DVD cases which we used to package Shen Yun DVDs, as well as more than 30 booklets for clarifying the truth.
They took me to the police station and asked me where the cases came from. Just as I was thinking about what to say, someone said, “Aren’t those your children’s for their business?” I just said, “Yes.” The police then asked the source of those booklets. Before I could answer, someone said, “The booklets were originally brought in by your family, right?” I said, “Yes.” The director picked up the booklets and said, “These aren’t old. They are all new.” I didn’t say anything.
They asked me to sign the statement of record, but I refused. One of the officers pulled out his belt and threatened me, but I wasn’t moved. A domestic security officer from the upper police branch said, “If you don’t sign, you will be brought to our branch.” I still refused to sign, and they took me to that branch.
It was already past 9 p.m. The domestic security officer said, “If you don’t sign, you will be locked up. If you sign, you will be let go.” I still refused. He took me to the cell, handcuffed my hands and feet to an iron chair, and said, “Will you sign or not? If you don’t, I’ll take you to the detention center. Just wait.”
He went out. I was not moved and just looked inside. I found that I had a strong competitive mentality, a desire to gain, an attachment of not letting people talk about me, and I often failed to cultivate my speech. I thought, “I’m not managed by the old forces, I only follow Master’s arrangements. I have attachments, but I will always try to correct myself in accordance with the Fa.”
About half an hour later, he came back and said that I looked very young, as if I were in my 30s. I knew that Master was by my side helping me. Then he opened my handcuffs and said, “You can go home.” He became very nice as if changed to a completely different person. As I walked out, he said to me, “It’s very late. You should take a taxi home.” I thanked him.
As I stepped into a taxi, Master’s poem appeared in my mind,
“Be resolute cultivating Dafa, the mind unstirredAscending in levels is what’s fundamental ...”(“True Character Revealed,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress II)
I burst into tears. When I got home, I offered incense to Master, bowed down and thanked Him for resolving the tribulation for me.
I was still quite fearful. When I went to take a bath in the bath house, I felt someone was following me, and I immediately left. When I was getting dressed, I saw a one month-old baby on the bed smiling at me. I understood that Master was giving me a hint that I was fine. I felt at ease. I went home and studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts.
The DVD cases were still in my home and I was wondering what to do with them. Some practitioners suggested that I shouldn’t move them, as the police might come back to ask about them. I felt fear again, so I studied the Fa. When I picked up the Dafa books, I realized that by being scared to move them, I was accepting the persecution. I felt that it was Master giving me another hint. With Master’s help, later on, a fellow practitioner picked up the two boxes of cases.
In 2018, my husband returned home after being jailed for nine years. One day, I was clarifying the truth and distributing materials. Suddenly, a police car stopped in front of me, and the police dragged me into the car.
We arrived at the police station near my house. I sent forth strong righteous thoughts to the entire police station as I walked into the lobby. The director took out a booklet and said to me, “Who’s going to read this?” I let go of life and death and just wanted to clarify the truth. I said, “Everyone who’s predestined will read it. They will know that Jiang Zemin launched the brutal persecution of Falun Dafa. He also staged the Tiananmen Square Self-Immolation incident.” As I talked, I asked Master to help me in my mind.
There was some cash in my bag with truth-clarification messages on them. An officer found them, but the director didn’t say anything and put them back into my bag. He asked me to sign and asked where I lived. I refused to answer. At noon, they went out to eat, and there was just one officer watching me. I put my hands in my pockets and felt the amulet. I subconsciously wanted to hide it. But, then I immediately realized that it wasn’t the right thing to do. If I hid it, it would be the same as accepting persecution by the old forces. So I corrected my thoughts.
When the director came back, he asked me if I would sign the document. I said, “It would not be good for you if I did.” He smiled and left. A policeman then told me to go home.
I went out to distribute Dafa calendars one day in October 2021. After distributing two and helping one person withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its youth organizations, I saw a police car at an intersection and a police officer in uniform walking towards me. I knew that the test had come again, and it was there to help me improve.
My heart didn’t move and I greeted him with a smile. When he got to me, his facial expression suddenly changed, and he said with a smile, “You look like my sister.” I said, “Really,” then I left without clarifying the truth to him. Afterwards, I was very sad. I felt that I had not reached the level of fellow practitioners. I didn’t put the salvation of sentient beings as the top priority. I didn’t meet the requirements of the Fa. It was because my cultivation level was not there and my compassion was not there, which led to such an outcome.
Practitioners made 500 desk calendars and put them in a building in November 2021. But we felt that something wasn’t right and the place was no longer safe. We discussed and decided to move the calendars to another place.
The next day, after sending righteous thoughts, we took four big bags and went there. There was no one outside when we arrived, so we went upstairs to get the calendars. When we came back downstairs, we saw a tall man in his 40s or 50s standing there with his back to us. We walked with the four bags of calendars to the road. I went to get the car, and when I got back, I saw a white car parked two yards away from us.
Despite that, we quickly loaded the car and drove forward. The white car then followed us. When we drove fast, it also went fast. When we slowed down, it also slowed down. We got to an intersection, and the light turned green. I felt that Master was hinting to me that things would be fine, and I had righteous thoughts again. As we were almost at the destination, the white car stopped following. With Master’s protection, we were safe once again.
From this experience, I realized that we could overcome any tribulations as long as we believe in Master and the Fa, hold righteous thoughts, act righteously, and keep our hearts unmoved. This is because Master will arrange everything for us. Everything we see with our eyes, appears in order to test us. We just need to hand over everything to Master and miracles will happen.
