8. [China] Practitioner with Attachments in Mind Receives Heavier Sentencing for Cooperating with the Evil

A practitioner was arrested by the police and put on trial. In the courtroom, even the prosecutor made some fair statements about Falun Gong. However, the practitioner failed to validate Falun Dafa in the court room. On the contrary, the practitioner thought that he himself was to be blamed. Originally the court had internally decided to sentence the practitioner to one year in jail after a one year postponement. In the end, the practitioner received a seven year sentence.

We should remember the teachings from the founder of Falun Gong, "As a Dafa disciple, why fear the evil ones when enduring persecution? The crux of the matter is that you have attachments. If not, do not endure passively, and face the evil people with righteous thoughts at all times. No matter what the situation, do not cooperate with the evil's demands, orders, or what it instigates. If everyone does this the environment won't be this way." (Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are Powerful)
