(Clearwisdom.net) For a while my cultivation environment was comparatively relaxed. I thought that I was cultivating well. Then all kinds of attachments, including zealotry, showing off, and validating myself emerged. I saw only the shortcomings of others and didn't look inward. Because of this, the old forces took advantage of the situation and persecuted our local practitioners. A fellow practitioner from a Falun Gong materials production site was illegally arrested. He revealed my name because he could not bear the torture. The police arrested me and took away all my Falun Dafa books and about 1000 copies of Falun Gong materials from my home.
In the police station, I thought only about clarifying the truth, saving sentient beings, and disintegrating all evil factors. I did not think about being persecuted. I thought to myself, “Behind my back are Dafa, Master, and numerous Buddhas, Daos and Gods. Behind the police are just evil party spirits, rotten ghosts, and lawless gods of the old cosmos. In front of our Master, they are nothing and Master's tiny finger will be more than enough to crush them.” I said to Master in my mind, “Master, only what you say counts. Others' words don't count. No one has the right to persecute me. The only reason I am here is to clarify the truth.” I talked about Falun Gong to everyone I could contact.
The next day, when they were about to release me, I added one thought, “I cannot have come here in vain. I will clarify the truth to everyone here.” After that, an officer in charge of my case rushed in and said, “I was busy the whole day. The sentence was a misjudgment. She should be heavily sentenced.” As a result, three groups of officers took turns interrogating me that night. I answered all of their questions. Finally, when they had nothing to say, the chief said, “I have learned from you before you reached the end of cultivation.” I said, “I came here to save you.”
The next morning, they decided to let me go home. However they didn't let me leave until 10:00 a.m. I had another thought, “I will disintegrate the evil for every minute I am here.” After this thought emerged, an officer in charge said to the guards in a panic, “Why not let her leave? Let her go quickly.” With our compassionate Master's help, I left without a hitch.
A follow practitioner in the Falun Gong materials production site was arrested six months later. His trial was set. I was involved in his case and the court notified me to be present. At that time, I clearly knew I could not cooperate with them. I recited Master's words over and over,
“No matter what the situation, do not cooperate with the evil’s demands, orders, or what it instigates.” (“Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts Are Powerful” from Essentials for Further Advancement II )
With the great power of the Fa, I kept strengthening my righteous belief in Master and the Fa. I sent righteous thoughts at the top of the hour 17 times each day. I extended the time to send righteous thoughts. At the same time, the whole body cooperated. Fellow practitioners studied the Fa and sent righteous thoughts.
Due to the strong righteous thoughts, the officers in charge kept changing, one group after another. The case was returned from the court to the Procuratorate, then to the police department. It lasted about seven or eight months. Finally, the case was left unsettled. I went through the test fully depending on my firm belief in Master and the Fa.
