(Minghui.org) I’m a female Falun Dafa practitioner. I became familiar with Dafa many years ago, but I’ve only been truly cultivating since 2016. This was when I became determined to make up for lost time and help save more people.

My fellow practitioners and I often went by bicycle, motorcycle, or car to clarify the truth to people in the countryside. We also gave out Dafa calendars at markets. Someone reported me to police in 2022, and I was forced to leave my hometown for four months to avoid persecution.

After I returned home, the police parked in front of my apartment every day and monitored me for three months. I negated the old forces’ arrangement and firmly believed that only Master has the final say about my life. So the police did not get what they wanted.

But I then discovered that the police had arranged for a father and son, who lived upstairs, to monitor me. This brought me a lot of pressure, and I often felt fear. The more fear I had, the more my righteous thoughts decreased, and I encountered more interference.

I started to study the Fa a lot more and send forth righteous thoughts frequently. I was thus able to suppress my negative thoughts and did not let them affect me.

The evil did not succeed, but the incident exposed my attachment to fear. In the past, I belived I had strong righteous thoughts. But after encountering this tribulation, I realized that fear was hidden deep inside me, which I didn’t realize at first. I just felt weak and uncomfortable, like I hadn’t eaten enough.

Whenever I heard footsteps in the corridor, however, my heart started pounding fast. I was afraid the police were coming to arrest me. I knew this was an attachment, but I did not clearly identify it as fear.

This went on for a while until Master gave me a hint during Fa study.

Master taught us:

“Once you are scared, it is an attachment of fear. Isn’t that an attachment? Once your attachment surfaces, shouldn’t it be removed? The more you fear it, the more it will appear like a sickness. This attachment of yours must be removed. You will be made to learn from this lesson so that you can remove your fear and improve.” (Lecture Six, Zhuan Falun)

Upon reading these words, I realized that my problem was fear. I immediately felt many bad things leave my body. During this time, I was reading four lectures in Zhuan Falun every day, and intensified my sending forth righteous thoughts.

I dreamed that a big dog stood up and pounced on me. The moment its two front paws touched me, the dog went limp as if it was electrocuted. I knew that the evil was afraid of touching me.

I continued to intensify my Fa study, and took a thorough inventory of my cultivation state. I had become distracted and no longer did the three things systematically. I also no longer believed I would be able to follow Master to return to my true home.

When I let go of my self interests and looked inward, I discovered many long-standing attachments. Some were stubborn and deeply concealed, including my fear, for example.

I always believed I did not have the attachment to fear and often arrogantly pointed out other practitioners’ fear. I also found that I had a fundamental attachment to validating myself. I worked on eliminating my attachments, one by one, and firmly believed in Master and Dafa. I would no longer put myself into a position of being persecuted.

After several months of being harassed, I realized that wherever persecution took place, there were people who did not understand the truth about Dafa. So it was imperative to clarify the truth to them so they wouldn’t continue to commit crimes against practitioners. This was an opportunity to save these people.

Although I realized this, it was difficult to do.

I then finally broke through my fear by putting my self interests aside. I asked Master to give me wisdom and went to the local National Security office to meet the director. In spite of our past unpleasant encounters, he greeted me warmly.

At first he did not know why I was there, and thought I wanted to sue him. He said, “You can sue me whenever you want!”

I ignored his comment and changed the topic. I was there to save him, so I did not want to stir up his negative thoughts. I knew I wanted to be kind and display a Dafa practitioner’s compassion. He relaxed after we chatted for a few minutes.

I first told him that practicing Falun Dafa is legal in China. Among the 14 “cults” identified in the Ministry of Public Security Document No. 39, Falun Dafa is not one of them. In 2011, the 28th issue of “Gazette of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China” stated that Liu Binjie, the director of the General Administration of Press and Publication, issued Order No. 50, Articles 99 and 100, and abolished the ban by Jiang Zemin’s group on the publication of Falun Dafa books.

I also recited Articles 35 to 39 of the Constitution to him. As I recited them, he asked me to slow down so he could write it down. I told him there was no need, as he could find it by searching Baidu on his mobile phone. Only then did I realize that he didn’t know the law at all. I told him that as a law enforcement officer, he should learn more about the law when he has time, so as to not break it.

During our conversation, I noticed that some negative substances were controlling him. So I looked into his eyes and sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. I mentioned that Falun Dafa has spread to more than 100 countries and regions, and that the practice teaches people to be good and to develop high moral character.

I then talked about the “staged self-immolation” at Tiananmen Square in detail. I told him he had been deceived, “The persecution of Falun Dafa was Jiang Zemin’s personal action, which did not represent the country or Constitution. The 610 Office is an illegal organization. The new rule, that civil servants will be subject to lifelong accountability, was in preparation for the Great Judgment.”

We chatted for more than two hours, and I was able to clarify the truth in depth to him. We also chatted about some everyday matters. In the end, he exclaimed, “I don’t have any objections to you people!”

“We don’t have any objections to you people either,” I replied. “Even though you have persecuted us, we don’t hate you. Cultivators have no enemies. You were poisoned by lies. Everyone has a kind side. If you knew the truth, you would not do what you have done.

“My purpose for coming here today is to help you learn the truth so you can tell right from wrong, and choose a good future for yourself. I hope you will do more good deeds, accumulate virtue, and leave more blessings for future generations.”

He smiled as he thanked me. When I was leaving, he accompanied me from his office to the front gate.

After I returned home, I sent forth righteous thoughts for five hours to eliminate the evil that was trying to control him.

Master then gave me a hint that I had improved a lot in my cultivation.
