(Clearwisdom.net) During the "Two Meetings," the CCP was afraid of Dafa practitioners coming to Beijing in order to appeal, to interrupt TV signals with broadcasts of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and to clarify the truth. At all levels, both secretly and openly, the CCP started another national campaign to brutally persecute Dafa practitioners.

The new police commissioner in my region mobilized police forces and hired many unemployed workers to persecute Dafa practitioners. In recent days, they broke into the homes and the work places of Dafa practitioners around-the-clock. In just a few days, quite a few practitioners' homes were raided and five practitioners were taken away by force. Two were illegally sentenced to two years in a forced labor camp. A few practitioners were forced to flee their homes.

Facing the sudden arrival of such a brutal persecution, true Dafa practitioners were undaunted. Teacher has already given us clear instructions in the 2004 International Fa Conference in New York:

We did not do a good job before, so we must do it right this time. With Teacher and Dafa, what should we be afraid of?

Several coordinators conferred with each other and came up with methods to resist the persecution. They put those methods into immediate effect and asked all practitioners to send righteous thoughts at integral hours: asking for reinforcement from Teacher to thoroughly clean up all the evils, dark minions and rotten demons, as well as the evil communist specter; totally disintegrating all local persecution plans; and asking for immediate and unconditional release of all arrested practitioners. Meanwhile, we formed groups and organized a 24-hour relay to send righteous thoughts, leaving the evil no chance to rest. We also approached the families of the practitioners who had been abducted, asked them to collaborate in the rescue, and to appeal for the return of the practitioners from police.

The practitioner responsible for Internet communication wrote timely articles to disclose local persecution and evil acts, and sent them to the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. He also ran flyers about the persecution for local distribution and posting. All of these means effectively exposed local evildoers. At the same time, he mailed letters advising people to be good, giving concrete examples, telling them that rewards and punishments will follow good and evil deeds. He also let them know about the Minghui Weekly Newspaper, the announcements of the Falun Dafa Association, and local persecutions and criminal facts posted on the Internet. At the same time, these materials were sent to the communities where police personnel live. These actions frightened the evil, and touched and aroused the conscience of some people. The participants of the persecution who came to know the truth later refused when they were asked to conduct further persecution. Consequently, they performed their duties inattentively and without zeal.

With our cooperation as one body and strong righteous thoughts and righteous actions, with the reinforcement and care from our benevolent and great Teacher, with the cooperation from abducted practitioners' families and relatives, three of the abducted practitioners returned home in one hour, half a day, and one day, respectively. The other two practitioners, illegally sentenced to two years in forced labor camp, denied the arrangements from the old forces during their imprisonment. They cooperated with each other and used every chance to clarify the truth and expose the evil face of the CCP. When clarifying the truth, they did not discriminate between policemen and prisoners, who both listened quietly to what they were being told. Some prisoners said, "Now I know that Dafa is so good! I will tell the facts to my family, relatives and friends, and shout 'Falun Dafa is good'. I will also practice cultivation." One policeman asked, "How did I treat you? We have no choice. All these are the orders from above. Since Falun Gong is good, you can practice secretly."

When the two practitioners were sent to the forced labor camp, their originally very healthy bodies did not pass the camp's physical examinations. As a result, they were not accepted by the forced labor camp, despite the stubborn efforts of the police. After the police exhausted every means and failed, they had to send the two practitioners home. The two practitioners know that Teacher is always nearby to care for them.

When the two practitioners came back, they were very healthy and all the problems found during their physical examinations were totally gone. Local police and practitioners' family members once again witnessed the wonders of Dafa. This time they were totally overwhelmed, and the practitioners' family members stopped interfering in their practice from then on.

With the help of other practitioners, the practitioners who fled their homes understood their shortcomings in time. Wasn't choosing such an escape following the route arranged by the old forces?

After they had a clearer understanding of the Fa, they quickly joined the campaign against the persecution with practitioners as one body.

After half a month's battle between good and evil, the evil failed. All the people who participated in this persecution were totally exhausted, making lots of complaints. Local people had many discussions about this. The new police commissioner wanted to attract attention right after his inauguration and wanted to be made famous by this. Instead, this situation caused huge trouble for the police. Falun Gong cannot be beaten or crushed. Instead of being famous, now the commissioner is infamous.

On the one hand, this success of cooperation as one body against the persecution in our area is because of our timely and consistent coordination, during which each of us gave up self-interest and unconditionally assisted others. We had the same objective, which was that we must never accept the persecution enforced by the old forces. Another more important reason is that we usually did very well the three things and always maintained righteous thoughts and righteous actions, which gave us a very good foundation against this persecution. Teacher is always with us and he uses all kinds of methods to give us hints, protect and reinforce us, all of which keeps us steady and healthy on the holy road to help Teach rectify the cosmos.

We practitioners should reflect on our experiences and, more importantly, learn lessons from them. From the perspective of ordinary people, this persecution happened because a new police commissioner had appeared. However, from the perspective of cultivation, there must have been an omission in practitioners' cultivation, or else we wouldn't have been taken advantage of. We must calm down and recollect in order to carefully find those omissions and to immediately remove our attachments during our cultivation.

At the same time, we should also know clearly that, even if we have gaps, we must not allow the old forces to persecute us.
