(Minmghui.org) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who began cultivating two years ago. I would like to share my experiences of how I was arrested and escaped from danger by using righteous thoughts.
Helping to Save People at Work
I graduated from college in 2011 and obtained the Fa soon after. I could not hold back my tears of excitement as I read Zhuan Falun. I changed physically and mentally after I began practicing. My stomach problem, headaches, and other ailments disappeared. I also became more gentle and kind. My skin became clear and smooth. When people asked me how I took care of my skin, I told them the facts about Falun Dafa.
I'm a piano teacher. My students range from toddlers to adults in their seventies. Most of my students learned the facts about Falun Dafa and withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated associations. Some also wanted to practice cultivation.
There were some however who refused to listen and reported me to the school. I decided to leave my job and move to another city after school ended in June. First, however, I wanted to help save all the students in my three classes. All of them were seniors, and most were retired government staff. They all had been influenced strongly by Party culture. Master said,
"So as for the Dafa disciples in any region, you are basically the hope for the beings in that region to be saved--their only hope, in fact." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2004 International Fa Conference in New York")
I told myself that I would save them no matter how hard it would be.
I thought about the best way to explain the facts to my students. I prepared a gift package for everyone with a letter and a truth clarification brochure, along with a DVD. They were each very happy to get these materials. Some withdrew from the CCP on the spot, and many were in tears.
After class, my students did not want me to leave. They asked me to keep in touch and come back to visit. As we were gathered in the classroom, the door suddently opened and a school official came in. He asked if I had written a letter to him in a gift package.
He got very angry when I told him I had--and he called the police. The call did not go through however, because I sent forth righteous thoughts as he attempted to call. I tried to tell him the facts, but he refused to listen. He locked me and three students in the classroom and kept trying to phone the police. I tried to contact fellow practitioners, but none answered their phone. I sent a text message to a fellow practitioner, asking her to help me.
Escaping from Danger
Before long, two police officers entered the classroom and I was taken away in handcuffs. As we were riding in the police car, one of the officers said, “This young girl also practices Falun Dafa?” I told them the facts, and they listened carefully.
They ordered me to sign a form when we arrived at the police station. I told them that I was not a criminal, so I would not sign it. One of them threatened to beat me. I looked him in the eye and said, “I am not against you. I am just against this persecution.” He locked me in a room with two officers and two thieves.
I was shaking when I entered the room. I sent forth righteous thoughts and asked Master for help. I gradually calmed down and started to clarify the truth to the police. One of them said, “I know all of this, and I have read all the materials. You can tell me anything when we are outside this room, but you should not say it in here.” I didn't stop, and continued telling him the facts. He and the others listened quietly.
Several officers entered the room in the afternoon to question me. I recalled that Master said,
“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)
Just then, my phone rang and it was the practitioner I had tried to call earlier. The officer grabbed my phone and demanded to know who the caller was and if it was she who had taught me how to practice Falun Dafa. I answered, “I made all the materials and wrote all the letters. Please read them.” I continued telling them the facts.
The police went to my home and confiscated my computers, printers, Dafa books, and truth clarifying materials. My parents soon arrived at the police station to help me. However, they were also new practitioners, and I was not sure if they could handle this situation.
The officers told me I could be released as long as I told them who taught me how to practice Falun Dafa. Master has said, “At the crucial moment, won't they even betray a Buddha?” (“For Whom do you Practice Cultivation?” from Essentials for Further Advancement) I refused to tell them the names of any other practitioners.
The police then tried to force me to give up practicing Falun Dafa. They said, “We are doing this for your own good. Your future will be ruined if you are sent to jail at such a young age. Imagine what others will think of you if you are put in jail.” This was a big test for me, and I asked myself why I had come into this world. My answer came without any hesitation - I came to this world to obtain the Fa and to help save people.
It was already dark, and I started to look inward and search for where the loophole was. I thought, “I will rectify myself in Dafa. I have my Master to look after me. The old forces should not interfere with my path. There is nothing wrong with wanting to help save people!” Right then, an officer opened the door and told me I could go home.
It was already after 10:00 p.m. when I left the police station. To my surprise, I did not feel hungry or thirsty after the entire day. I also did not feel tired. I opened my bag and found that my laptop was still there. I opened it to study the Fa. The first sentence that I read was Master's teaching in Zhuan Falun:
“Once you want to truly practice cultivation, your life will be in danger right away and this issue will concern you immediately.”
I could not hold back my tears, and I felt a great happiness. Master is with us all the time and protects us. I can only repay Master by being diligent and by helping to save more people.
