(Clearwisdom.net) After a few years of cultivation through studying the Fa and cultivating my heart, I have enlightened to something. I had fallen prey to my many human thoughts, and I failed to evaluate situations based on the Fa. I instead evaluated things based on my human thoughts. Because of my loopholes, the old forces were able to find an excuse to persecute me. The repeated persecution prevented sentient beings from being saved. I failed to find the root cause of this for a very long time.
Around the time of the 16th National People's Congress in September 2002, I was illegally sent to a forced labor camp. During my imprisonment, I often wondered why I had been sent there. When I was released in May 2004, I still couldn't figure out why I would be subjected to imprisonment when I had steadfast faith in the Fa.
In October 2005, I suddenly remembered that while I was being held in the detention center, I said to a fellow practitioner, "I'd rather be sent to a forced labor camp than give my fingerprints (to admit to the charge)." Had I not fully acknowledged the old forces' persecution? How foolish I had been to blame Teacher for not rescuing me! Teacher said,
"As I've said, everything that happens today in the ordinary society is the result of Dafa disciples' thoughts." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.")
It was not until now that I finally realized the meaning of the above passage of the Fa.
In May 2005, a local public security officer came with three policemen from out of town and broke into my home without warning. They asked me my name and asked if I practice Falun Gong. I didn't give them a straight answer. I was overcome with fear at first. After a while, I managed to calm down and send forth righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil elements that might be manipulating these policemen from other dimensions. But I didn't have enough compassion for them, so I didn't clarify the truth to them. Instead, I hated them because I regarded it as a persecution of ordinary human beings against another human being. As a result, the evil beings from other dimensions exploited the loophole. I was again illegally taken to a detention center in Beijing.
The police told me that someone had reported me, so I was imprisoned for a month. They ordered me to sign a document. When I refused to sign, the police put me back into the detention center. I focused on sending forth righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil beings and to reinforce my righteous thoughts. I was determined to have faith in Teacher and the Fa, and only acknowledge Teacher's arrangement and none other. I was determined to stay on the Fa-rectification path arranged by Teacher. Prison is not a place for me and I had to get out of there to save sentient beings. I was released twenty days later and I resumed clarifying the truth about Falun Gong. Since then, I have not been jailed again.
During the process of studying and memorizing the Fa, I keep upgrading my xinxing. It was not until now that I have finally enlightened to Teacher's Fa. As long as I have a steadfast faith in Teacher and the Fa, I believe that Teacher is watching over me in all circumstances at all times, and I do well the three things required by Teacher with all my heart, and I know I will prevail over the old forces' arrangements with righteous thoughts and righteous actions.
In 2008 the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used the Olympic Games as an excuse to arrest Falun Gong practitioners. Some fellow practitioners said, "Pay attention to personal safety. This time the persecution may be just as bad as July 20, 1999." But I refused to acknowledge it. Teacher said,
"...as long as Dafa disciples keep strong righteous thoughts, the evil beings can no longer mount any resistance."
"This period of history was arranged for Dafa disciples to save sentient beings, so why haven't you taken the lead role? Why give top priority to the words of ordinary people who have been indoctrinated with the wicked party's culture? Why have you paid so much attention to the evil's persecution?"
"...I would say that that's their last flurry of activity before they perish." ("Fa Teaching at the 2008 New York Conference")
Teacher has told all the disciples how to overcome the old forces' arrangements. Teacher has already told us how to do it. As long as we have a steadfast faith in Teacher and the Fa and we reinforce our righteous thoughts, we will prevail over the persecution. When a fellow practitioner and I studied "Fa Teaching at the 2008 New York Conference" together, we both realized how to do it, and we managed to upgrade our xinxing in this regard. No practitioner in our Fa-study group was affected by the Olympic Games.
I realized that this was a good opportunity to eradicate the evil beings from other dimensions and to save sentient beings. Over the past few months, I used my work environment to clarify the truth and to save sentient beings. I think of saving sentient beings at all times. I clarified the truth to the sentient beings whenever I had a chance. I helped others at work to understand the truth about Falun Gong and the CCP so that they would agree to quit the CCP and know how wonderful Falun Gong is, and thus be truly saved.
During the Olympic Games in August, my workplace management called on me twice to tell me not to go to Beijing and to stay at home to practice Falun Gong. They asked for my ID, but I didn't agree. Several fellow practitioners at my workplace and I realized that this was a good opportunity to clarify the truth, so we clarified to our respective managers. Once the managers understood the truth about Falun Gong and the CCP, they started to protect Falun Gong practitioners at work. None of us was sent to the forced brainwashing center, and the plot against Falun Gong practitioners was aborted. We disintegrated the evil beings that masterminded the persecution from other dimensions and we saved our managers.
