Master has Escorted Me Along the Way

(Minghui.org) I am a rural woman who is not well educated, but this has not stopped me from holding on to my belief in Falun Dafa to this day.

A Predestined Relationship with Dafa

Before I started to cultivate, I suffered from many illnesses, including tracheitis, kidney stones, Meniere’s syndrome, and severe headaches. A practitioner in my village advised me in 1998, “You are continuously sick, so why don’t you practice Falun Dafa?” At that time, I thought I would do so if it would help me to get rid of my illnesses. A few days later, other practitioners came to my house to play a video of Master’s teachings. Thus, I began to practice cultivation, and I soon recovered from my diseases.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999. I lost the environment that allowed me to partake in group cultivation, and for nearly three years, I didn’t cultivate well. However, Master didn’t give up on me, He guided me, and with the encouragement of other practitioners, I tried to follow the path of my cultivation.

Through a lot of Fa study, I understood more clearly the responsibilities of practitioners during the Fa-rectification period. While regretting that I took a detour in the past, I felt sorry for other practitioners in the village who had fallen behind. I put truth-clarifying booklets in the courtyards of those practitioners. After all, they are beings who have predestined relationships with Dafa, and their knowing sides have been awakened. Seven practitioners have come back to cultivation as a result.

Cooperating as a Whole-Body, and Rescuing Arrested Practitioners

A male practitioner I knew was detained in a provincial forced labor camp. When I heard about this, I told other practitioners that we should not accept the persecution and we should rescue him. The other practitioners knew that we should do it, but they felt that there was little hope. No one wanted, or dared to do it.

I searched and found the family of the detained practitioner. His mother is also a practitioner, but she was not very diligent. I said, “Auntie, your son didn’t commit a crime, let’s go and ask the labor camp to release him.” His father, who didn’t understand what we practitioners were doing, angrily said, “Let him stay there!” I firmly said, “With Master in charge, I will definitely be able to rescue him!” With strong righteous thoughts, the detained practitioner’s mother and I took the train to the provincial capital that night.

We arrived at the Provincial Labor Camp the next morning. The officers asked, “What are you doing here?” We said, “Picking up someone and taking him home.” “Who?” “So-and-so.” They looked at each other, and one said, “His term has not been announced, who told you to come?” I calmly said, “You told us, and you should release him quickly.”

They refused to do so, I said to them, “We have come all the way here, it is not easy for his mother.” At that time, the evil in other dimensions was very wild, and it gave me a terrible headache. I kept sending righteous thoughts, denying the persecution, and thought, “I must bring the practitioner back.” They didn’t let us approach the labor camp, but we didn’t give up, and we kept sending righteous thoughts. The practitioners in the provincial capital also sent righteous thoughts to help us. When we went back to the gate of the labor camp the next morning, they released that practitioner.

This success caused quite a stir in our county and greatly inspired the practitioners to fight those who persecute us. Since then, when there was another arrest of practitioners in our county, they naturally asked me to help, and I became the volunteer coordinator in our county.

Another time, a female practitioner was arrested and taken to a county detention center. We cooperated to rescue her. The son of the detained practitioner asked me to go with them. I asked the head of the detention center for her release, he said that they didn’t have the authority to release her, and told us to talk to the local police.

We went to the local police station director, and I said to him, “Your police station is close to the hometown of so-and-so (referring to the arrested practitioner), so you should go there and ask about her. She was a typical shrew who bullied everyone in the neighborhood before she began to cultivate. After she cultivated, she became such a good person. She followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be a good person, but you arrested her. How can you justify this? If you do not get her back and release her, then you should take care of her son.”

The director insisted on not taking any action. So, overnight, our practitioners made stickers of the director’s evil deeds with photos and pasted them on the streets and alleys. A relative of the director told us, “Please don’t do things like that, he is a good person, and he has to follow orders to keep his job. You have made him lose face in public.” Perhaps due to this pressure, a few days later, the detained practitioner was released.

Another practitioner was arrested and taken to a detention center. We went to ask for her release, but the officers there wouldn’t let us enter the detention center. At this time, a car tried to come in, so the gate opened. I took the chance, and blocked the electric gate, not letting it close, and told the practitioners to go in. Given our efforts, the detained practitioner was released.

Master said:

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

When we listen to Master, Master will help us achieve our goal. I am grateful for Master’s compassion towards practitioners.

Validating the Fa in Another Town

Later, because my son’s family needed me to babysit their child, I went to the city where my son lived, and I immediately got in touch with the local practitioners.

Because of the dialect barrier, I had fewer opportunities to clarify the truth to people face-to-face, so I set up a family materials site for local practitioners. My daughter-in-law asked, “How do you dare to do this here?” I said, “I am a life that has come for the Fa. It is my responsibility to clarify the truth and validate the Fa. If you are afraid, I will return to my home.” My son told her, “Don’t worry about it. Jiang Zemin was the head. Who was not afraid of him in the police circle? But has our mother ever been afraid of him? Who can control matters of faith?” From then on, they no longer intervened. Even though I was busy babysitting the child, cooking, and making the truth-clarifying materials, I was not tired. I was happy all day long.

Two years later, there were mass arrests of our practitioners in the area, including the coordinator and practitioners at the other materials site. It was time to make the truth-clarifying desk and wall calendars. A local coordinator approached me to discuss the matter, “The consumables purchased by the arrested practitioners have arrived, but no one dares to pick them up. Can you store them in your house?” Although I was under pressure, I thought of the need for Dafa, the need to save people, and the hardships of Master in saving sentient beings. I thought, “I don’t need to discuss this with my son and daughter-in-law, I can make my own decision.” I didn’t hesitate to say yes. The practitioner said gratefully with tears in his eyes, “Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! Master sent a good practitioner to us!” Thus, the basement of my house became a consumables storage room.

I Escaped by Holding Righteous Thoughts

I once went downtown with a driver practitioner to exchange new money bills to make the truth-clarifying currency bills. At the checkpoint of a highway intersection, we were asked to show our ID cards. As soon as his ID card was scanned, the computer showed that he was a Falun Gong practitioner. I was fine, but he was immediately put into a police car. The officers asked me to wait in the car. I questioned them, “Why are Falun Gong practitioners not allowed to drive on the road?” An officer angrily asked me, “Do you still want to leave?” I said, “No, I will not leave. We haven’t finished our business yet. It is you who stopped us and refused to let us go.”

In the car I recited:

“Should you have fear, it will seize upon you; If thoughts are righteous, evil will collapse; The cultivator’s mind is loaded with Fa; Send righteous thoughts, and rotten demons explode; Gods walk the earth, validating the Fa” (“What’s to Fear” in Hong Yin II)

While sending righteous thoughts, I begged Master, “We came together, we must go back together.” After a while, the practitioner got out of the police car, quickly put a USB drive into my bag in the car and whispered to me what it was. While the police were not paying attention, I quickly put the USB drive into the small purse I was carrying.

The police started to check the car, and they searched through the saddle and foot mats, but didn’t find anything. They asked me whose bag it was and what was in it. I said, “It’s cash!” They asked, “What are you doing with so much cash?” I said, “Going home for my brother’s funeral!” They didn’t believe me, so I called the taxi driver who had taken me to the hospital to visit my then-dying brother. I happened to have the driver’s phone number. I told him on the phone, “My brother just passed away.” And then I gave my phone to the police, and let them to check with the driver. The police took the phone and talked to the driver, “It’s okay, it’s okay. We just want to ask a few questions. We will let them go after a while.”

With Master’s protection, we were able to escape danger wisely and safely.

Master Protected Me from Great Danger

My path of cultivation has not been smooth. Once when I was working with other practitioners to save people, something happened to my son’s family. My concern for my son, and my dissatisfaction and resentment towards my daughter-in-law were aroused. I began to lose my focus while studying the Fa, and my body had a karmic reaction. I felt that my cultivation state was not right, so I gave away the two printers at the materials site to other practitioners, and wanted to take a break to adjust my condition.

A few months later, several people from the prosecutor’s office barged into my home, took pictures, and left. I later learned that it was due to a business conflict about the apartment my son bought, which had nothing to do with my cultivation practice. It was a false alarm. Looking back, I was a little afraid, because my printer was often turned on, a lot of the truth-clarifying materials were often also placed out in the open. If the printers had been there and found, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I thanked Master for his protection.

I know that I still have many attachments, and I am determined to study the Fa more, assimilate to the Fa, look inward unconditionally, and continue to do a good job validating the Fa.

Thanks to Master’s compassion and continued blessings, and only by making further progress can I repay Master’s compassion and return to my original home with Master!
