(Clearwisdom.net) During my contact with fellow practitioners, I often hear comments like, "This car may be following me," "Why is this area so evil?" "The evil party is going to make massive arrests," or "Another brainwashing center is going to be set up," etc. The comments make it sound like these evil activities will definitely occur, subsequently persecuting Dafa practitioners. The comments are also passive and helpless. During our discussions, I said, “We are lives saved by universal principles. We're here to help Teacher in Fa-rectification, and it is the most righteous thing to do. The evil should be afraid of us, not the other way around. We shouldn't encourage the evil and undermine ourselves. This is not a place for evil to be rampant.” Since I've been through such experiences, I also told fellow practitioners that the safest way through obstacles is when our understanding comes from the perspective of the Fa.
My daughter and I left my hometown to find work in 2007. In early 2008, I often thought that the evil was looking for me, but I paid no attention to these thoughts. Soon after, I was asked to fill out an employee information form at work. At first I refused, because I thought that the evil would use it to persecute me, but my manager insisted. I later put my heart to rest, thinking, “What am I afraid of? I am honest and legitimate.” I wrote down my true information. A few days later, I came to work and saw several people sitting on the sofa, chatting. They appeared very unnatural. My first thought was that they were plainclothes police. I walked past them unhurriedly and sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil forces behind them. They left after a short time.
At approximately 8:00 p.m. on May 5, I was forced into a police car while I was outside. When we got to the police station, they asked me some questions. I had a feeling that two fellow practitioners were also arrested. I focused on the thought, “No one can touch me. I'm here to help Teacher with Fa-rectification and still have sentient beings to save. I must return tonight.” A moment later, I saw the two practitioners. One was saying that their parents were not very healthy and needed their care, yet the police still arrested this practitioner, and the other practitioner was also very angry. I had no fear. Regardless of the consequences, I held my hand in the upright position and started to send righteous thoughts, “Evil is not allowed to persecute me or my fellow practitioners.” My environment became clear after a while. Then one officer said, “Follow me.” I didn’t know what was going on, but I was taken back to my workplace in their vehicle. Regarding the other two practitioners however, one was taken to a forced labor camp and the other was sentenced to prison. This was very sad!
A few days later, I resigned from my job and went to another city. The police were looking for me everywhere. When the “Fa Teaching at the 2008 New York Conference” lecture was published, I calmly read it over twenty times, then went back to my old workplace. The chairman and employees all welcomed me back. A month later, my nephew heard that the police from my hometown and the local police were collaborating to arrest me. When the local police approached my manager wanting to search my dormitory, my manager refused their request. When I heard about this, I thought, “I'm not going anywhere this time. Dafa books are in my room. They can protect me and dissolve the evil. I am a Dafa practitioner who helps Teacher in Fa-rectification. Saving sentient beings is my responsibility. If the evil is coming out in full strength, I'll eliminate and destroy it. This environment is established by me – I can walk my path anywhere.” I sent righteous thoughts with this intent for half a day. The next day, I went to work as usual, and continued to clarify the truth in order to save sentient beings. When I saw the officer who tried to arrest me in late 2008, he smiled, then shook my hand and said, “Come find me if you need anything.”
I returned to my hometown in late 2009, and continued saving sentient beings. For a period of time, I again had the thought that evil was looking for me. I was afraid of answering the telephone, and afraid of this or that. After a few days, my younger sister called and said that the police had come to her home looking for me. I then realized my attachment and quietly looked inward for reasons. My mother was sick, and I'd spent less time studying the Fa, didn't send righteous thoughts well, spent less time doing the exercises, and didn't save many people. The evil was taking advantage of my loophole. I immediately negated the old forces and refused to acknowledge them. I don't walk any path that is not arranged by Teacher. I reminded myself to be diligent and kept doing the three things as usual.
Only Dafa practitioners are worthy of helping Teacher with Fa-rectification. What significance does the evil have? Are you afraid of it? We are safe only when our understanding comes from the perspective of the Fa – we are then able to break through the old forces, protect ourselves, and save more people.
This is my limited understanding, please point out anything that is incorrect.
