A Particle on the Square -- Another Western Practitioner Validating Dafa

(Clearwisdom.net) Below is my experience validating Dafa in Beijing.

As a Dafa disciple I had been watching the visit of the evil head to America take shape over the course of several months. I felt it was the responsibility of Dafa dizi to be present when the evil head left its nest and arrived in America but felt remiss as I was unable to be present to send forth righteous thoughts in close proximity. Saddened as I was, I felt that if I could follow Master's guidance: read the book with a calm mind, clarify the truth with wisdom and send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil I would be provided an opportunity to validate Dafa.

I had been traveling for two weeks in China on business. Unfortunately, because of the information blockade, I was unable to gain access to Dafa sites on the Internet. I tried repeatedly from different cities and different computers but always received an "error message." It made me realize how fortunate the practitioners outside China are in the ease with which they are able to stay informed and current in Fa-rectification. Without Internet access I was unable to keep up with the movements of the evil head or with the progress and experiences of my fellow cultivators. Even though I was unable to tell exactly when the evil head would be returning to its nest, I purchased an airplane ticket to travel to Beijing. Once there I would eliminate the old evil forces in other dimensions with righteous thoughts and educate those who oppose the righteous benevolence of Dafa. I arrived at Beijing International Airport on the afternoon of October 30, checked my luggage at a nearby hotel and went directly to the square, arriving at around 4:00 PM, with my book (Zhuan Falun), a banner in Chinese (Falun Dafa Hao) and the adamantine will of a Falun Dafa cultivator. From the time I arrived in Beijing, I sent out righteous thoughts, and kept a pure heart knowing that all the Gong and the living beings cultivated by me and all the Buddha's, Tao's and Gods that safeguard the Fa would protect me when I went to Tiananmen Square, so that I would be able to safely validate the Fa. At that time I felt very calm and confident without any fear. I simply felt that this was what I should do. In my mind I had no concept of being arrested. I felt that I would fulfill a sacred mission for two days without any interference, and then return home.

I had been to Tiananmen Square several times in the past and was familiar with the layout. It was late afternoon and there were a lot of people and security on the Square. I paid the security little mind and found a central position on the square, (aligned with Chairman Mao's picture) made sure I was very visible, sat down in lotus position, closed my eyes, sent forth righteous thoughts and raised the banner to the heavens. Another Dafa particle was validating Dafa on the square. This particle's appearance, on the surface, was different that the usual practitioner clarifying the truth on the Square, as I am a middle-aged Western businessman.

It wasn't long before I felt myself rising from the ground with the unwanted assistance from several police officers and being quickly put into a van and taken to the Tiananmen Square Police substation. There I was interrogated and got to see many of the evil people who have been persecuting my fellow practitioners. I am certain that I did not get to see the attitudes of the most evil ones as they seem to, unfortunately, be unleashed on Chinese citizens. I continued to send forth righteous thoughts and cooperated with the evil only in so far as it served my purpose of clarifying the truth. I was in no hurry to leave this environment. If I could not eliminate evil on the square then inside this notorious police station, the environment provided me, would suffice. I remained calm and patient in clarifying the truth. They kept asking why I was there and who sent me. I calmly explained that I was there for the Chinese people, them included, and that nobody sent me, that anybody who truly cares about the Chinese people would come to help. Being brought up in America it is inconceivable to me that a government could tell such lies, block access to all information and divert the countries resources away from the bad elements in society to suppress and persecute its good people.

The room I was being held in became very crowded and there was a constant procession of different people coming and going. I took this as an opportunity to eliminate the evil field each individual brought with them. From the Tiananmen Police Station I was escorted to the Public Security holding cell and interrogated again. The young man interrogating me at Public Security Bureau, upon seeing my copy of Zhuan Falun in English, insisted that the translation must not be properly translated if it did not contain the falsities and lies that have been widely attributed to Dafa and Master by the Chinese government. He had these strong emotions, yet he had never read Zhuan Falun. I knew I could not change his mind with superficial argument but summoned forth as much righteous thoughts as I could and told him Falun Dafa was good, the translation was painstakingly accurate, and that his government had, inconceivably but purposely, lied to him and all the good people of China and that is exactly why I had come. I was living proof of someone who had benefited enormously from Falun Dafa, and was willing to go to great risks to let others know.

I will try to go back to Tiananmen Square, until such time as Dafa is placed in its proper position in China.

The above were my experiences during my brief visit to Beijing. Comments are welcome.
