Using Righteous Thoughts to Rectify the Environment and Save People

(Minghui.org) When I clarify the truth to people, I usually clear my mind first and use righteous thoughts to guide me. The results are really powerful. I would like to share a few examples of how righteous messages helped people to accept Dafa and quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.

Our Thoughts Determine Our Environment

When a policeman knocked on my door, I did not have time to hide the printer I used to make truth-clarifying materials, so I did not open the door. When he finally stopped after knocking for a long time, I thought, “Whether or not you’re gone, just don’t kick the door!” At that very instant, he began kicking the door. I realized that my impure thought had provoked his bad side.

I began to say to him in my mind, “Everything is created by Dafa; all matter is made of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, including your life.” Then I repeated, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good!” and sent those strong messages his way. Soon I heard him shouting, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” My righteous thoughts cleansed the environment that helped him to make the right choice.

Righteous Thoughts Help Secure a Practitioner’s Release

After a fellow practitioner was arrested, I went with another practitioner to put up truth-clarifying materials on the billboards outside the local Public Security Bureau building. When a police car came, she signaled me of potential danger. Without any fear, I continued securing a big sign to the billboard, saying, “Don’t be afraid. The chief of the public security bureau will be frightened tomorrow when he sees our posters, so he will have to release our fellow practitioner.” The practitioner was indeed released the following day.

Our Thoughts Can Change People’s Minds

I saw an elderly man who was helping someone, so I went up and said to him, “You’re so nice. There aren’t many people like you nowadays. Government officials are all corrupt, and the common people suffer as a result. Have you heard of the movement to quit the CCP?”

He was horrified: “How dare you say that? Don’t you know how powerful the Communist Party is? During the Cultural Revolution, many people were persecuted, so don’t talk about it!” When I told him that many people agreed with me, he was still scared and quickly left.

Back home, I said to the man in my mind, “I’m doing this for you. The CCP government and modern society are so corrupt. That’s why there are so many disasters. Please remember Falun Dafa is good! Don’t believe the lies you see on TV about Dafa. Please remember what I told you today; it’s good for you!”

When I went out the next morning, the man was leaving his apartment building at the same time. He came right over to me and said, “I reflected on what you told me yesterday. I understand that you’re doing this for me. Now there are so many natural disasters and the Party is so corrupt. Everything you said is true!”

I was happy he’d changed his attitude. I believe he received my messages, which helped to dissipate his fear and confusion. After I further clarified the truth to him, he agreed to quit the CCP.

Clarifying Truth to Detention Center Guards

Once I went to the detention center where a fellow practitioner was detained. I clarified the truth to the guards at the gate. One of them pressed a button and another guard came out. He yelled and cursed at me. I stopped talking and looked at him compassionately while sending strong thoughts to let him assimilate to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. He calmed down after a while. He wore a hand-knitted sweater, so I complimented him, “From the sweater you are wearing, I assume your wife knitted it for you and I can tell you’re a good person who values tradition and cares less about vanity. Your wife must be a good wife and mother.”

He replied, “I am good—and so is my wife...” He’d already changed his tone of voice, so I followed up by saying, “People who are locked up here (referring to fellow practitioners) are also good people.” He nodded in approval. After hearing the truth about Dafa, he quit the CCP.

Clarifying the Truth to a Judge

On the day when a practitioner was scheduled to stand trial, another practitioner and I went to the courthouse to ask to see the presiding judge, but the guard at the gate would not let us in. I recited Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance out loud and said, “You’re a good man. Please make an appointment for us to see the judge. We have something to share with him about this case.”

He went in but said that the judge would not see us. I urged him to try again. He checked once again but the judge still would not see us.

Without flinching, I said, “Go ahead and make an appointment for us.” In my mind, I asked him to assimilate to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. This time, he told us that the judge promised to meet us in the afternoon.

We walked into the courtroom in the afternoon while sending forth righteous thoughts and thinking, “The Buddha’s light shines everywhere; all things are assimilated to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance; let all the policemen and guards assimilate to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance! Falun Dafa is good!”

The judge welcomed us into the courtroom.

I said to the guard who’d scolded us earlier, “In ancient times, people respected their parents and elders. Please remember to do so in the future.” He smiled.

During the meeting with the judge, everybody was respectful and listened to us. Peace and compassion enveloped the courtroom. We told the judge everything we’d planned to say. He then walked with us to the exit and helped an elderly practitioner who had come with us down the stairs outside the courthouse.
