(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Dafa practitioner from Beijing and a middle school teacher. The evil party controls the education system to persecute Dafa practitioners and poison the minds of the students. However, Dafa disciples working in the education field sincerely follow our Master's guidance, do things according to the Fa and take the salvation of sentient beings as our own responsibility. During these years of brutal persecution, we have never stopped clarifying the truth, sending forth righteous thoughts, and keeping up with Fa study and the exercises. In this article, I am going to share some experiences about doing the three things.
Destroying the evil VCD; saving the teachers and students
Once, under the direction of the Beijing Education Committee, the office of video education produced a VCD that was based on fabricated contents and slander about Dafa. They distributed one VCD to each school. It was going to implant the evil Party's culture and its slander about Dafa into the minds of the teachers and students. Faced with this situation, several practitioners at our school studied Master's article about sending forth righteous thoughts to stop the evil. We sent forth righteous thoughts together to eliminate the evil, completely eliminated this attempt and destroyed that VCD. Thereafter, nobody ever asked about the VCD. A serious attempt to poison the students' and teachers' minds was thus eliminated. Later we reviewed Master's teaching, and felt that as long as we have righteous thoughts, they indeed will eliminate the evil immediately. The persecution will vanish into thin air and its plot will fail.
Eliminating the evil "questionnaire"
One time, the 610 Office concocted a "questionnaire" with about 20 questions. All of them slandered Dafa or attacked Master. It forced the teachers to answer yes or no. The purpose was to slander Dafa, to persecute the Dafa disciples in the school, to threaten the other teachers with violence and to further poison the students and the teachers' minds. When the school political personnel tried to force several Dafa disciples to take their questionnaire, we firmly refused to cooperate with them. Every one of us got rid of the associated attachments, including the notion of fear, the notion of gain and loss, the notion of instability and others and concentrated on one thought, "Eliminate the evil, eliminate the behind-the-scenes manipulators and rotten ghosts!" We kept Master's teaching firmly in our minds, "Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and save people with mercy." ("Rationality" from Essentials for Further Advancement II) Instead of answering the questionnaire, we calmly exposed them and told the facts to the staff. We told them the principle of good deeds being rewarded and evildoing meeting with karmic retribution. Finally, they admitted that their actions violated the law and violated human rights. They also stated that the higher authorities were responsible. Because of our righteous thoughts, their attempt failed.
Eradicating the attempts to induce Dafa practitioners to write the three statements
The "610 Office" used school promotions, along with threats, to try to sway Dafa practitioners. One practitioner who achieved many good things in his teaching work every year was named an outstanding teacher in Beijing. He had several research papers published in the city and in the nation. Because he practiced Dafa, the management didn't give him a raise. This time another raise was due. The principal told him that he was going to give him a raise, but only if he wrote the "three statements." The practitioner told the principal, "A practitioner already takes everything lightly; it is impossible for me to violate my conscience and exchange my faith for the money." In the meantime he sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the dark minions behind the scenes and said to the principal, "You should take care of yourself, as well. If you report this to upper management, your may lose what you have now. Prior to the persecution, you did good deeds for Dafa. You let schoolteachers practice Falun Gong and hence were rewarded. Now, if you are going to do bad deeds, you will meet with karmic retribution." He also gave some examples of doing good deeds being rewarded and of evildoing meeting with karmic retribution. This practitioner validated the Fa with his own actions and thwarted the attempt to damage Dafa.
These things led me understand more of Master's words,
"If upon encountering trying circumstances your thinking can be truly righteous, then, when faced with the evil's persecution and when faced with interference, just one sentence of yours fortified with steadfast righteous thoughts can instantly make the evil disintegrate, and it will make those who are being used by the evil turn and flee, it will make the evil's persecution of you dissolve, and it will make the evil's interfering with you disappear without a trace."
