I started practicing Falun Gong in 1996. During the past eight years, Teacher has guided me on my path of cultivation. The sacred Fa (1) purified my soul and body. After going through many tribulations, words are inadequate to express my gratitude.
One evening near the end of 2000, approximately nine policemen suddenly broke into my home. They ransacked my house and took away anything they saw including the copy machine, the computer, typewriter, telephone, cell phone, radio and stationery. They took my son to the detention center and later sentenced him to two years in a labor camp. At that time I wasn't able to handle it. My husband and I tried every possible connection to get my son released. But the people we talked to all said that it would be very difficult.
I then enlightened to my own understanding that we cannot pursue things in this human world. Instead we should walk the path Teacher has arranged for us.
Several days later, my husband and I were both abducted by police. Later we were sent to a labor camp and detained there for nine months. We suffered inhumane torture and were traumatized both mentally and physically while our family and relatives sacrificed much for us. I once deviated from the path that Teacher has set out for me. However, Teacher did not give up on me, even when I did. He has been watching over me so that I could stand up after stumbling down, and I was able to rejoin the effort to save sentient beings. The following is an account of two of my experiences.
- One time, as we drove to another village to distribute Falun Dafa flyers, a police car suddenly started to follow us with its siren on. We speeded up, but the police car was very close behind. At that moment, my mind was not very righteous, and I looked back constantly. My spouse reminded me, "Do not look back. Send forth righteous thoughts and do not be afraid. Teacher is right with us." I started concentrating on sending forth righteous thoughts and felt very powerful. I thought to myself, "We are here to save sentient beings. Whoever dares to stop us is committing a crime." When we turned into another town, we found that the police car was no longer following us. I came to understand that every step in our cultivation is a choice of life or death. We need to let go of the attachment and leave no loopholes. With the Fa and all sentient beings in our heart, we believe that Teacher is with us and we can achieve anything.
- I had a dream that Teacher was standing among practitioners. I walked to him and greeted him with both hands pressed together in front of my chest in the traditional gesture of greeting. I asked Teacher, "We often put materials that explain the facts of the persecution at the door of farmers' homes. Is that alright?" Teacher smiled but did not say anything. I knew what to do. I then said, "After my son was released from the labor camp, he did not do Dafa work any more." Teacher smiled toward my son who was there with me. My son immediately told me, "Mom, I will distribute Falun Dafa materials with you tomorrow." The next day, my son indeed called me and wanted to distribute materials to save more sentient beings. In early spring, the roads in rural areas are not in good condition. Our car often would get stuck in the mud. We calmed down and asked for help from Teacher. It was 10:00 p.m. and our car was still stuck. We saw one house that still had light on and went to ask for help. As we walked to the house, we saw a tractor as if it was prepared for us. Teacher is always with us.
I enlightened to the fact that our path of cultivation is growing wider and wider. We are becoming wiser and wiser in saving sentient beings. With the Fa in our heart, we can achieve anything.
Note:
- Fa: Great law, universal principle
