(Minghui.org) I am 66 years old and I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. I’ve since practiced continually for the past 27 years.

When I was in my twenties, I suffered from severe insomnia, long-term dizziness, headaches, and severe rheumatoid arthritis. My finger joints were swollen, and my body was very weak. A few days after I began to practice Falun Dafa, all my illnesses disappeared. I truly experienced the miraculous nature of Dafa cultivation.

However, my cultivation path has been bumpy. My cultivation environment wasn’t at all optimal. Thus, I ended up being monitored by the authorities for a long time. I truly came to feel difficulties in my cultivation, and how hard it was for Master to save me. I am truly grateful to Master for protecting me all along, so I could continue up to today.

I wanted to write about my cultivation environment and my experiences of dismantling the evil persecution with my righteous thoughts, to share with fellow practitioners.

Dismantling the Interference and Persecution from the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee

My husband and I were waiting for our ride to go home from another city one Sunday afternoon quite a few years back in the summer. Suddenly, I received a text message from my company detailing various precautions and requirements for going to work on Monday, because the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Committee (PLAC) was going to my unit for an investigation. While I was reading the text, my husband, who is not a practitioner, became a bit nervous.

Because I was under surveillance for a long time, I had developed a lot of fear. In order to overcome the fear, I spent a lot of time sending forth righteous thoughts, which resulted in my lacking Fa-study. My cultivation state deteriorated, and I had strong resentment and a competitive mentality.

Upon receiving the text message, I felt I was under a great deal of pressure, and felt a bit depressed. At first, I sent a thought to them from deep down that they shouldn’t participate in the persecution. Then I asked Master to strengthen me, and I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings and factors behind the secretary.

On my way home, and after I got home, I continually sent forth righteous thoughts until late that night. I slept for only a couple of hours. When it came time to do the exercises in the morning, I didn’t do them. Instead, I continually sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings and factors behind the secretary of the Municipal PLAC. Meanwhile, I rejected any thoughts of their persecuting me that were cast into my mind. After a long time, I saw through my celestial eye a black dog running away. After I sent forth righteous thoughts, the depressing feeling was also gone.

I went to work as usual on Monday. My office was on the second floor, and the office building was quiet all morning. When it was almost time to get off work, the manager came to my office to deal with some work. I asked him if the secretary of the Municipal PLAC had come. He said the secretary came, but he only walked around downstairs for a few minutes and then left. The manager said he didn’t know what the secretary came for.

I understood that, empowered by Master, the interference and persecution from that secretary had been dismantled. Thank you, Master! At night, I shared this with my husband and asked him to rest assured.

Having Righteous Thoughts Dismantled the Interference and Persecution by Community Staff

I felt like there was a stone pressing down on my chest for a long time in 2017, and I felt very stuffy. I didn’t know what caused it. I looked within through all kinds of attachments, but couldn’t find the cause. I felt a bit down about it.

It suddenly occurred to me one morning that I overlooked fear, and wondered if fear was the root cause. I asked Master to strengthen my righteous thoughts. Then I immediately sat down to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate any fear-related matter in my own dimensional field. After over an hour of sending forth righteous thoughts, I felt that the stone pressing down on my chest had disappeared. Even though I still had a little discomfort, I felt much better than before.

Then I went out to go grocery shopping. As I got to the gate of the community, the security guard on duty told me, “The community staff came looking for you, but they said you were not at home, so they headed back.”

I said, “But I was at home. Apparently, they didn’t come.”

The security guard on duty replied, “They didn’t call you. They came, and just said you were not at home, then they went back.”

It seemed that my fear had brought the community staff over. After my fear was dismantled, the evil manipulating them had no target to attack. Thus, the interference was dismantled.

My child took the government recruitment exam a few years ago, and passed all the requirements. He only had to wait for the review and fill out various forms.

Then, one day the security guard on duty told me that the community staff came to see me, but he told them I wasn’t there. They asked him to tell me to go to the community office to sign a paper, otherwise it would affect my child’s job. I didn’t think about it and immediately said, “It must not be affected.”

I asked how they knew that my child had passed the government recruitment exam and was waiting for the review. The security guard replied, “I asked the community staff this, and they said the 610 Office called and told them. The 610 Office also told them to come to see you.”

In the afternoon, I went to the Fa-study group and shared with everyone about the community staff coming to look for me. One practitioner said it was to see whether I would choose Dafa or my child’s job. I said I wanted both. Practicing Dafa is my own business, whereas my son needs to look for employment. If he passed the exam, he should have a job. In theory, the two were not contradictory. Apparently, it was the evildoer who wanted to use the policy of collective punishment to persecute me and my family. I firmly refused to acknowledge it. I have come to understand that Dafa disciples should be under Master’s care, and their families are Master’s sentient beings who also belong to Master, as opposed to the old forces. Whatever the old forces want to do doesn’t count.

I didn’t mention the matter to my husband. Later, I handled all the procedures for our son’s work review, which went very smoothly, including the relevant procedures at the community. My practicing Dafa did not impact my son’s employment at all.

Having Righteous Thoughts Dismantled Interference from the Domestic Security Division

One summer, my husband called from work, saying that the Domestic Security Division staff wanted to visit him. As his work had nothing to do with them, he asked me to go home and put my Dafa items away.

Immediately I thought about what Master said:

“Just by staying unaffected you will be able to handle all situations.” (“Teachings at the Midwestern U.S. Conference”)

I made up my mind not to go home. I thought that all these things are illusions. It is all fake. The evil counts for nothing. I will never acknowledge it. I will also firmly negate every interference and persecution from the old forces, as well as its manipulations.

I still felt a great deal of pressure, however. For a long period of time that year, there were police cars parked in our community. The old forces attempted to persecute me when I failed to clean them from my thoughts. They often appeared, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.

I asked for Master’s help to strengthen my righteous thoughts. I sat down and erected my palm to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings and factors manipulating the Domestic Security Division staff. While doing so, I began to think: Practitioners are under Master’s control and Dafa’s control; they don’t belong to the old forces. Master tasks me with the things for validating Dafa, which are what a practitioner should do. I will not stop sending forth righteous thoughts if all the evil is not eliminated. In order to eliminate them all, I had to send forth righteous thoughts for nearly an hour, until I felt they all had been cleaned out. Meanwhile, I also included these strong thoughts in my righteous thoughts: Do not interfere with my husband being saved, as he is Master’s sentient being. He belongs to Master and is under the control of Dafa, as opposed to the old forces. If you continue to interfere with sentient beings being saved, you will be eliminated.

A few hours later, my husband called to tell me that everything was fine. At night, I asked him what they came for. He said they came to inspect the work, in particular, their company’s safety work, with no mention of Dafa. This harassment was completely dissolved under Master’s empowerment.

Every trial by the old forces in our cultivation targets our hearts. Only by studying the Fa more, and learning and using the Fa, can one make breakthroughs, while being empowered by Master. Only by doing so can we return to our true home.

Thank you Master for your protection all along. Only by being diligent and saving more sentient beings, can I fulfill my part. I want to say: Master, you’ve worked so hard!
