(Minghui.org) A local practitioner was arrested while distributing Falun Gong informational materials. A few hours later when the police went to ransack his home, they were shocked to find so much equipment to produce the materials, they said it looked like a processing plant.
The practitioner was able to quickly calm down. When the police took turns interrogating him during the next 26 hours, he clarified the facts calmly and with compassion.
Local practitioners heard about what had happened the following day and started to send forth righteous thoughts as a group. One practitioner pointed out, “We should not allow the evil to use the equipment as an excuse to aggravate the persecution. Those computers and printers are Fa-implements.”
After 15 days the practitioner was released. The police had handed the case over to the procuratorate, but when the official came and looked at the documents, he left. So the police station handled the case themselves and only detained the practitioner for 15 days.
When he was arrested, the practitioner was riding a motorcycle to distribute informational materials at a tourist site. After he was released, his daughter told him that the family had asked the police to return the motorcycle, but the police claimed it was a “tool used to commit a crime” and refused to return it.
The practitioner was not affected and again went to ask the police for the motorcycle. They made a phone call and told him to go to the police station at the tourist site to get it.
When he got to that police station, the director, who had read all the informational materials after the practitioner was arrested, had a nice chat with him. He told the practitioner that, if he needed help in the future, to just come and ask him. Although the equipment used to produce materials was not returned, the practitioner was not persecuted further.
Later, local practitioners had a sharing and realized that practitioners' righteous thoughts are essential. When we refused to acknowledge the equipment as an excuse for persecution, the evil dared not do so.
We enlightened that, as long as practitioners' thoughts are correct and we think from the Fa's perspective as a whole body and strengthen fellow practitioners with righteous thoughts, we can completely negate the persecution. Only when we truly consider the sentient beings can we display the compassionate thoughts to move people and disintegrate the evil factors.
Looking back over the 15 years' of persecution, the CCP perpetrators have often used the truth clarification equipment they've taken from our homes as “evidence” to persecute us or to ramp up the persecution. This has caused practitioners unnecessary tribulations. These are not only misunderstandings caused by the Party, but also practitioners' own errors in thinking about things. We must change our notions and stop going along with the authorities by thinking of our equipment as “evidence.” We must not to give the evil excuses to do bad things.
I understand that many things, including our pieces of equipment, have come for the Fa. Once they are selected by Dafa disciples to participate in projects to save people, they become saved beings. We cannot allow these beings to be used to do bad things. We should make good use of everything, especially Fa-implements, to save people.
Above is my current understanding. Please point out any mistakes.
