(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. In the past 20 years of cultivation, whenever I encountered difficulties, Master protected me.
In spring 2020, another practitioner and I each took a bag of informational materials about Falun Dafa rode a motorcycle to a village to clarify the truth to people about the persecution.
After we arrived we distributed materials and talked to people. Just as we were about to leave, a car suddenly stopped us. A man and a woman, about 30 years old, got out of the car, and quickly unplugged the keys to our motorcycles. When we tried to clarify the truth to them, they didn’t listen and called the police.
I was very calm and remembered that Master would protect us. In my heart, I said, “Master, please help me.” I walked towards a house, and the owner had just stepped outside to watch what was happening. I quietly asked her, “Can I walk through your yard?” She didn’t look at me, but nodded silently. So I quickly walked through her courtyard.
As I continued walking, I saw some people I knew standing in the street. I thought that I couldn’t let them see me, so I asked Master to put a cover over me. I walked to a construction site and sat down against a wall. I said to Master in my heart: “I’ll follow the path arranged by Master, and leave everything to you.” I started to send forth righteous thoughts. Afterwards, I walked out of the construction site.
I walked a short distance when I saw a car coming, so I approached it and greeted the driver, who gave me a ride. In this way, under the protection of Master, I returned home without any problems.
In the summer of 2021, Xiaoxin and I went to clarify the truth, but someone reported us to the police and we were arrested by more than twelve police officers. They forcibly pushed us into a police car and drove us to the police station.
We tried to clarify the truth to them, but they didn’t listen and sent us to the detention center that night. Because we did not cooperate, refused to talk, and would not give them our names, the detention center refused to admit us. So, the police viciously shoved us into a police car, and drove to a dark place that had no cameras. It was about midnight.
Four young policemen took turns beating my face. I shouted loudly, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!” and sent forth righteous thoughts. I said in my heart, “If you hit me, I won’t feel the pain; Whoever hits me will feel the pain.” I really didn’t feel any pain and I knew Master protected me. Afterwards it took about six days for the swelling to go away.
As they beat me, they shouted, “We will kill you, harvest your organs, and throw your body into a deep ditch.” I thought: “Whatever you say doesn’t count; only what Master says count.”
The next day, they found my name and illegally detained me in a detention center. I recited the Fa every day, sent righteous thoughts, and acted with righteous thoughts. But one day, for some reason, my attachments flared up, and I lost my righteous thoughts. I felt depressed.
I suddenly remembered what Master said,
“Your body lies in prison—don’t be sorrowful, don’t be sadWith righteous thoughts and righteous actions, Fa is hereCalmly reflect on how many attachments you haveAs you get rid of human mentality, evil is naturally defeated”(“Don’t Be Sad,” Hong Yin II).
My righteous thoughts came up, and I felt all the cells in my body were vibrating. I knew my attachments caused this persecution. If I didn’t have attachments, would the detention center dare detain a Falun Dafa practitioner? We must not slack off in cultivation, and must take it seriously.
I was later prosecuted in court, and they planned to sentence me to one or two years. When I heard this, I was shocked and moved: Wasn’t the sentence long? I remembered what Master said,
“We emphasize one point: If you cannot relinquish the attachment or concern for illness, we cannot do anything and will be unable to help you.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)
My heart suddenly brightened. That’s right, I have Master and Dafa, what am I afraid of?! I’ll calm down and leave everything to Master. In the end, I was sentenced to eight months, and I walked out of the detention center with dignity.
I am grateful to Master for teaching Dafa to all sentient beings, so that we can embark on the road of returning to our origins. I am grateful to Master for his mercy and salvation, and I am grateful to Master for protecting me on the path of cultivation.
