Eliminating Persecution by Looking Inward

(Minghui.org) I heard a loud knock on my door while I was sending righteous thoughts at home one morning last June. My exterior door was open but the screen door was locked. However, I could see through it and saw a couple of police officers. One of them told me they were from the police station. They wanted to know if I still practiced Falun Dafa.

I replied, “Falun Dafa teaches people to be kind. It’s not on the list of cults published by Ministry of Public Security. I am a legal Chinese citizen, and it’s my right to practice my spiritual belief. As a police officer, you should follow the law.”

The officer showed me my photo on his cell phone. He told me that I was reported to the police for distributing Falun Dafa brochures on the bus. He was instructed by the National Security Team to verify the case, and asked me to go to the police station with him. I said no and didn’t open the door. I’m a Dafa practitioner, and I only answer to Master Li’s arrangements. The police officers threatened to come again to investigate the case further. I was not moved.

Overcoming Obstacles to Clarify the Truth

Since the outbreak of the COVID pandemic in Shanghai, everyone needed to scan their code on their cellphone as an identification check. I don’t have a cell phone, so I seldom take a bus when I go out to clarify the truth about the persecution. The photo the policeman showed me may have been taken by the monitor when I took a bus on a day I was not distributing any materials. I realized the police were framing me. Even if I was distributing materials, I was doing the most righteous thing by telling people the truth about the persecution.

Upon reflecting on my recent cultivation state, I often felt drowsy and couldn’t hold my palm upright when I sent righteous thoughts. Another practitioner named Jing kindly pointed this out several times. On the surface, it seemed that I had increased the time I did the exercises. In fact, the negative factors in my dimension were interfering with my ability to assimilate to the Fa’s principles and improve myself.

Some time ago, a practitioner from another area came to our Fa study group and talked about her experiences. A nodule had grown on her chest a few years prior, and it recently started to bleed and discharge pus. She went to the hospital trying to get the pus pumped out, but the examination showed she had cancer, and the growth needed to be surgically removed. Her family pressured her to undergo surgery. She hesitated and wanted other practitioners’ opinions.

We offered some suggestions. Jing pointed out some of the practitioner’s human attachments. But I had some negative thoughts about Jing, as I felt she only looked at others’ attachments but didn’t try to find her own. I knew this thought was not based on the Fa.

Jing had been suffering from sickness karma for a long time. I felt she needed to look inward. As her fellow practitioner, it was my responsibility to point out her attachments. Before this, I did not see through the old forces’ arrangements and see the gap between myself and Jing. So I had a lot of interference when I read the Fa and sent righteous thoughts. Every time I read the Fa at Jing’s home, I always made mistakes by adding or omitting words. This did not happen when I read the Fa at other practitioners’ homes.

Predestined relationships between fellow practitioners were arranged by Master long ago, and they are holy and sacred. So I started to send forth righteous thoughts to clear away the old forces’ barriers, and to eliminate my human attachments of jealousy, rivalry, comfort, showing off, false ego, and the poisonous roots of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) culture.

The police didn’t return and the case about my picture on the bus was dismissed. Master removed the tribulation arranged by the old forces, and I improved after discovering my deeply hidden attachments. I thanked Master for teaching us the magical tool of looking inward.

Reciting Hong Yin VI Eliminates Party Culture

Master’s publication of Hong Yin VI is an act of immeasurable compassion for his disciples and all people. Master wants to cleanse his disciples so we can return to our heavenly origins. One practitioner in our Fa study group suggested that each of us memorize and recite one poem from Hong Yin VI. We happily agreed to her suggestion. We wanted to eliminate any hidden elements of CCP culture and do a better job of offering salvation to sentient beings.

It took me half an hour to recite one poem when I started. But it’s getting easier and easier. It recently took me only ten minutes to memorize a poem. Also, when clarifying the truth after reciting Hong Yin VI, my thoughts are clear, and I have less fear. I can clearly feel Master strengthening me, as my wisdom keeps flowing when I clarify the truth.

I understand that as long as we calmly study the Fa, assimilate ourselves to the Fa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and correct our every thought, we can assist Master in saving more sentient beings. Let’s live up to Master’s compassionate salvation!

Heshi!
