(Minghui.org) I was buying some salted eggs in a supermarket one day when I saw a policewoman. She looked panicked to see me, stopped buying groceries, and left. I was surprised at how afraid of me she appeared to be.

I realized later while studying the Fa that I held strong grievances about the jailers’ conduct when I was imprisoned. I even cursed them in my mind. As I studied the Fa more, I realized how pitiful they were for being used in the persecution. They descended to this world to learn the Fa but ended up heading toward their doom for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. They monitored practitioners day in and day out and were anxious about losing their jobs if the practitioners they monitored disappeared. How pitiful! I should offer them salvation and have great compassion.

I started talking to the people who monitored me outside my apartment building and those who followed me around in the stores. I picked topics that everyday people were interested in to start conversations. I chatted with them about fun things from our childhoods, and transitioned to the facts about Falun Dafa. They stopped being afraid of me. Some became talkative and friendly. One of them returned a purse he had stolen from me while he had been monitoring me. He said, “I won’t do such things anymore. It’s shameful!”

Another man had been monitoring me for years. I noticed him following me and he knew I had seen him, so he ducked out of my way. One time, he couldn’t find me in the crowd, and he looked so panicked and helpless. I felt so sorry for him that I approached him and said, “I’m here.” We took the bus together to get back to my place. I let him have a seat on the bus and bought a ticket for him. He was deeply touched.

I sat down next to him when the seat became available. I asked him about his family and learned that his son was a good student. I encouraged him, “You have done a great job. Raise him by being a dignified father, and he will respect you.” I told him the facts about Falun Dafa along the way. By the time we reached our destination, he seemed to have gained a good understanding of Dafa. He told me that he wouldn’t monitor me anymore. He even showed me pictures he had taken of me and said he wouldn’t do it again. We ran into each other some time later. He smiled and told me that he had found a new job.

Master taught us,

“Compassion is expressed in this world through love and kindness, and these are qualities that those who practice Dafa should always radiate from within.” (“A Wake-Up Call”)

As Falun Dafa practitioners, we should follow Master’s teachings to eliminate any retaliatory mentality we may have against the pitiful people who have been utilized to carry out the persecution. Let’s keep compassion in our minds and offer salvation to the true victims of the persecution.

The above is my limited understanding. Please feel free to point out anything not in line with the Fa.
