(Clearwisdom.net) One of my colleagues introduced me to Falun Gong in the summer of 1998, and the next morning, my husband and I went to join a group practice session in the nearby square. Within a week or so, Master began purifying my body. After only a few days, my high blood pressure that had troubled me for thirty years, as well as the other diseases from which I had suffered, including osteoarthritis, cerebral vascular sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, all suddenly disappeared. In the meantime, my husband’s diseases which had troubled him for two decades--gastric ulcer, rheumatoid arthritis, and tonsillitis, also vanished. He commented gratefully, “Master has given me a second life.”

As the diseases disappeared, both of us became younger. Our hair turned darker, and complexions became rosy and bright. Master had cleansed our bodies for us. The Buddha’s mercy is magnificent, yet we have no way repay Master.

Back then, it was hard to get a copy of the book Zhuan Falun, therefore fellow practitioners invited us to go to their homes and read with them. There were about sixty practitioners nearby, and we split into a day group and a night group to take turns reading Zhuan Falun. We waited for more than 20 days for another fellow practitioner to bring another copy of the precious book to us. We finished reading Zhuan Falun once in three days, and then we kept reading it over and over. The more I read, the more I wanted to read. Since I read it so many times, all of my questions and doubts were answered, and my mind became clear. I understood that the goal of human beings was to return to our original true selves.

We need to have a clear and sincere mind while reading Zhuan Falun. Ever since I began reading, I could see the colorful lights illuminated in the characters, and the layers and layers of law wheels behind every single word in the book. My husband could also see that every word was bright and shiny. Master used this to encourage us to study the Fa more and become more diligent.

The communist regime began persecuting Falun Gong in July 1999, and we went to Beijing to appeal in August 2000. We were arrested on our way to Beijing, escorted back, and detained in a detention center.

When the head of the 610 Office in the detention center interrogated me, he said, “Just stop practicing Falun Gong because the authorities don’t allow you to!” I replied, “Cultivating in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be good people is the right thing to do. How can one give up such a good practice?” He continued, “If you really want to practice, do it at home then.” At that moment, the guard outside the door shouted, “Hey boss, let her go. She’s a good person.” At that moment, I truly understood what it meant when Master said,

“When disciples have ample righteous thoughts
Master has the power to turn back the tide”
(“The Master-Disciple Bond” from Hong Yin Volume II)

Using Large Banners to Subdue the Evil Forces

My husband suggested that we go out and hang large banners with truth-clarification information during the evening of August 5, 2001, to subdue the evil forces. We all liked his idea, and about a dozen of us began to carry out the plan. We each got a bucket of paint, and a brush. Because we knew that Master protected Dafa disciples, no one was afraid. Master said,

“If you are a true practitioner, our Falun will safeguard you. I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe.” (Zhuan Falun)

We only had one thought, eliminate the evil forces, and save sentient beings. We finished writing 300 banners in only two hours. Every single word that we wrote was shinning solemnly. A few days later, dozens of police officers came from the provincial capital city. They were all stunned when they saw the banners. The passersby all had their thumbs up. The banners surely subdued the evil forces.

Righteous Thoughts Display the Divine Power

Once in 2003, a research institute hung a large banner with information that slandered Falun Gong. Suddenly I remembered that Master told us,

“With righteous thoughts and righteous actions
He is diligent without letting up
Eliminating demons that damage the Fa
He is good to all beings.”
(“A Righteous God” from Hong Yin Volume II)

My husband and I immediately began to send-forth righteous thoughts, "Eliminate the evil banner." The banner disappeared the next day. On another occasion, when a college celebrated its first day of school, they hung two banners to welcome new students. However, a third banner was hung that had information that slandered Falun Gong, and it was tied up with a cord that was as thick as a finger. I sent-forth strong righteous thoughts directly toward that banner. When I went back there the next morning, the cord was broken even though the other two banners were fine. On a third occasion, a school’s loudspeaker was interfering with our concentrating on reading Zhuan Falun, so my husband and I began sending forth righteous thoughts, and at that moment, we both saw a bundle of red light shoot into the loudspeaker, which was muted right away. From then on, it no longer bothered us.

Offering Salvation to Sentient Beings

From 2001 to 2005, our local practitioners always carried out large-scale activities during the New Year, and Master’s birthday. Back then, the persecution in our city was fierce, and police vehicles parked at every corner of each block to monitor practitioners. Many practitioners were unable to come out, and no one dared to take on tasks to validate the Fa. The local coordinator was illegally sentenced to four years of forced labor, and no one was distributing truth-clarifying materials. Under such pressure, through studying Master’s article we were enlightened,

"The environment is created by you, yourselves, and it, too, is essential for your improvement."
("Environment," from Essentials for Further Advancement)

From then on, my husband also joined us to distribute Master’s lectures and truth-clarifying materials.

We conducted a large scale activity in April 2005. About four to five of us senior practitioners went to a mountain to hang banners, where an evil prison den was located. There was only one small path to go up the mountain, and alongside the mountain was a highway. We wanted to hang banners around the mountain to be seen by people driving on the highway. Walking on the bumpy road, we recited Master’s lectures. It was 4:00 a.m. when we finally finished hanging all three hundred banners. However, we were at the end of the path, and were unable to find our way down the mountain. Nonetheless, no one was afraid because we knew that we were walking on a divine path, and no one could stop us. We slid down a few-dozen-meters on high rocks along a stream. Although we were all in our sixties and seventies, none of us was hurt. It is true that Master’s law body protects us everywhere we go. The vicious police officers were terrified the next day. They caught an old lady who was not a practitioner and beat her up, attempting to get a "confession." But eventually they had to give up when they failed to get anything out of her.

My husband and I went out to post truth-clarifying posters on one sensitive day. There were police officers everywhere. We sent forth righteous thoughts to disintegrate the evil forces behind them, and made them leave in three to five minutes. We then posted about a hundred posters, and we even posted one beside the main entrance of the district government building. Furthermore, we went onto the roof of the main government building to broadcast truth-clarifying information through a loudspeaker. We also left a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party on each floor inside the building. The evil forces were definitely subdued. Soon after that, the deputy head of the National Security Division suffered from a tribulation. The persecution from the evil gang subsequently withered down, and the environment was improved.

In 2006, the evil police officers arrested the fellow practitioner in charge of printing truth-clarifying materials in our local area. My husband told me that he wanted to set up a materials printing site at our home. I was then nearly 80 years old, however I decided to give it a try. With fellow practitioners’ help, I eventually learned how to search the Internet, download files, print files, and post the “Quit the CCP” statements online. With that, our family materials production site was established.
