Master Supports Me During a Tribulation and Demonstrates His Divine Power

(Minghui.org) Some time toward the end of 2023, I visited a fellow Falun Dafa practitioner near a famous mountain. One night, I had a dream where I heard Master give instructions for a movement of the Falun Dafa exercises, “Vajra Toppling a Mountain.” In the dream, I continuously performed the “Vajra Toppling a Mountain” movement and saw myself successfully pushing a towering mountain. The mountain was moving slowly, and the peak of the mountain was emitting vibrant, dazzling lights. When I woke up, I checked online and discovered that the shape of this famous mountain perfectly matched what I had seen in my dream. I realized that the power Master has bestowed upon us is strong enough to move mountains.

During the 2024 Chinese New Year, I drove to another city for business. While I was driving, I received a call from practitioner Awei. She informed me that her sister, practitioner Bailing, had been harassed by the police over the past two days, and she asked me to bring Bailing to her home. Awei and I live in the same community. Feeling it my duty to help my fellow practitioner in trouble, I agreed immediately. However, I did not realize that Bailing was being closely followed by the police. I unwittingly brought an unexpected challenge upon myself due to neglecting to consider safety.

The Police Could Not Get into My Home

We had just finished studying the Fa that afternoon when there was a sudden power outage at my home. I called the building manager to ask if there was an outage in our building, and the manager confirmed that there wasn’t. Practitioner Dahua said she would go home to check whether there was electricity at her place. Less than 10 minutes after practitioners left, there was a hurried knock at the door. I didn’t open it because I sensed that the visitors weren’t friendly. I heard someone outside say that there were cameras in my home. Another voice added, “Let’s turn off her power so the cameras stop working.”

I heard a lot of voices outside my door. It seemed that many people had gathered. I called a practitioner and asked them to help me send forth righteous thoughts. Half-an-hour later, there was a second round of knocking on the door. The chatter outside continued, and a female voice shouted, “Go find a locksmith to pry the door open.” I thought to myself, “You don’t deserve the right to get in here!” I remained calm and continued to stand at the door, sending righteous thoughts. The commotion continued for another 10 minutes before finally stopping. However, the electricity was still out and did not come back on until 11 p.m.

After the people left, I immediately looked inward to see where I had allowed myself to be exploited. I identified some of my issues. During this year’s Chinese New Year, I slacked off in my cultivation, seeking comfort and becoming lazy. I got into an argument with a practitioner over a trivial matter and became indignant, complained, and failed to fulfill my responsibilities effectively. I sent righteous thoughts to correct myself. In my heart, I thought, “My Master has the final say. You police are not worthy! Master, please protect me.”

At 2 p.m. the next day, there was another sudden power outage. Then, police officers showed up again to try to pry open my door. It sounded as if there were even more people outside my place this time. I told fellow practitioners that the police had come again and they were trying to break down the door. Someone on the other side of the door shouted: “Is anyone home? This is the police! You are involved in activities of a cult organization. Open the door quickly! Otherwise, we will force our way in and take you away.”

I said in my heart, “We [Dafa practitioners] are the most righteous. You are acting terribly, and this cult organization [you are referring to] has nothing to do with me.” I encouraged myself: “My righteous thoughts are so strong that I could subdue any evil, like my dream of ‘Vajra Toppling a Mountain.’ Why should I be afraid of you, bad people?”

I heard shouting outside the door two or three more times, and then it stopped. They inserted a key in the keyhole, but it wouldn’t turn. Someone outside said, “Someone is at home and the door is locked from the inside.” It seemed like the door was about to be smashed in. Initially, I hadn’t asked Master for help, but now I felt as if I was facing a formidable enemy. I immediately called out to Master in my heart, “Please strengthen me. Do not allow these people with bad intentions to enter my home. Please ask the righteous gods and law guardians to help me.” I also reminded myself, “Evil doesn’t deserve to test me or interfere with my cultivation.” I bowed nine times toward Master’s portrait. I felt that Master had placed a shield around me and draped me with a colorful robe, much like a scene from Journey to the West, where a deity gives a woman a colorful robe that keeps monsters at bay, as they would get pricked if they touched it. In that moment, I knew I was safe. However, I understood that I could never be careless and should never allow the police to enter my home.

Their attempts to break into my home that day were extremely violent and lasted for half-an-hour. I noticed that the water had also been cut off during that time. I contacted fellow practitioners. Many were paying attention to my situation and helping me by sending righteous thoughts. Awei asked, “Should we post this on Minghui.org to expose what happened?”

I replied firmly, “Yes.” As I recounted the incident to fellow practitioners, my voice trembled. I would have lied if I said I wasn’t afraid, especially since I was alone at home. However, I quickly reminded myself that I was a cultivator and Master was by my side. The righteous gods, law guardians, and many fellow practitioners were all strengthening me, which helped me overcome my fear. Shortly after, someone knocked on the door again, but it was not as troubling as before.

There was no water or electricity at my home that night, and one practitioner suggested that I seek shelter outside instead of staying home. I responded, “I will only follow the path arranged by Master and will never follow the path arranged by the old forces. Being homeless is not what Master wants.” While I might be safer away from home, I was concerned about who would protect the Dafa books, Master’s portrait, and other Dafa materials at home. I asked myself, “If I don’t protect them, who will?” I decided to stay home and guard these items. I remained firmly committed to protecting everything related to Dafa. I have never wavered on this thought.

In the evening, I learned that overseas practitioners had done two important things for me that day. First, they called a number to file a complaint against the police station that harassed me. Second, they sent information about the harassment to Minghui.org to expose it. Although the information had not been posted yet, this action had already destroyed a lot of evil in other dimensions. At midnight, the water and electricity came back on. The evil is most afraid of being exposed!

On the afternoon of the third day, the police returned. However, there was no knock on the door this time, and the water and electricity remained on. I looked out from the balcony and from the window of every room, and saw that a crowd of people had gathered downstairs—dozens of them. I couldn’t see who was outside the door because the camera at the door was covered, but I could hear a lot of talking. Since they didn’t knock, I didn’t notify practitioners to send righteous thoughts, nor did I want to listen to their noisy conversations. I thought to myself, “I don’t want to listen to you guys. I need to send righteous thoughts.” I sat down to send righteous thoughts and immediately entered tranquility. I sat there for more than three hours. Fellow practitioners were very worried about me. Maybe it was because Master wanted me to focus on sending righteous thoughts, that he blocked incoming messages and phone calls. I felt that I was effectively disintegrating a lot of evil. I didn’t even notice when the police left.

The police also harassed my family that day. They threatened them and said they would go to their work places to look for them. My family asked them why they would come, as they had not violated any law. The police said hypocritically, “We’re just concerned about you and want to help you solve any problems. We will do our best to help if you are having any difficulties.”

My family knew they were lying, and one of them responded, “If you practice Falun Gong, you will be arrested and may even have your organs harvested. What is the legal basis for this? My family member was arrested and detained before, and she was wrongly accused. Please don’t keep coming to me saying that you care about me.”

A large number of people came to my home in the afternoon. I decided to send righteous thoughts and ignore them. However, they continued to harass my family, attempting to use our family ties to coerce me into submission. The police stated, “We want to meet and clarify the misunderstanding.”

A family member responded, “You’ve consistently used this excuse, claiming that harassment is merely ‘concern.’ You have deceived our family numerous times, taking advantage of our kindness, and persecuting and detaining us by any means necessary, causing us immense pain. Who would believe you?”

Finally, those people left at night. Practitioner Tian asked me if I had considered talking to them. I admitted I hadn’t given it much thought. She encouraged me, saying, “You need to think about it.” I agreed. So, I began to contemplate the best approach to communicate with them.

On the morning of the fifth day, while I was meditating, words from Master’s Fa entered my mind, “Dafa disciples’ true selves hail from high planes.” (“Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. XI). I firmly believe that I come from a very high level. As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I immediately felt a sense of greatness within me.

It became clear how to handle the situation with the police. I planned to talk to the police from my balcony as they waited downstairs. I envisioned inviting local residents and passers-by to also come and listen to the truth about Falun Dafa and to hear about the illegal actions taken against Dafa practitioners. I would request that the police provide their names and badge numbers. Additionally, I would ask for their actual phone numbers, in order to verify their identity. To ensure that everything was documented, I also planned to have a recorder and a mobile phone handy to document my interaction with the police. Since the police consistently recorded my voice and took my picture, I would also record their voices and take their pictures as evidence of their unlawful harassment.

After I studied the Fa and did the exercises in the morning, I began to prepare for my day. Then the doorbell rang. I calmly went to open it, but nobody was there. I noticed that the paper covering my home’s camera had been removed, and soon after, my family called to inform me that the police had stopped coming to harass them. Master said, in a poem, “Once your thought is righteous, evil will collapse ...” (“What’s There to Fear,” Hong Yin II) This experience reaffirmed for me that Master’s Fa is indeed true.

On the surface, it seemed that the danger had passed. However, when I went out afterward, I noticed that someone kept following me every day until the annual National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the National People’s Congress ended.

Surveillance Cameras Removed

After the police left, I noticed that two surveillance cameras had been installed at my front door. I looked inward and found attachments to competitiveness, jealousy, resentment, and saving face. I had also misappropriated some Dafa funds and failed to make up for it on time. The most significant lesson I learned from this experience was that I have an overinflated sense of security. I knew that Bailing was being harassed by the authorities and so could possibly be followed, yet out of sentimentality for my fellow practitioner, I used my own car to pick her up. The surveillance cameras must have captured the vehicle’s license plate.

Upon finding these attachments, I immediately confessed them to Master. I also realized that I had not talked to the staff at the property management office about Falun Dafa and the persecution. This time, the police had surrounded me, and the people at the property management office may have been coerced into participating in the persecution against me, and therefore were generating karma. They may have been deceived with lies and propaganda against Dafa. I realized that I should seize this opportunity to clarify the truth and save them.

After the harassment was exposed on Minghui.org, overseas practitioners began making calls to clarify the truth. We sent righteous thoughts to support them. Many people who received the calls came to understand the truth and chose a bright future for themselves. The overseas practitioners approached their work with seriousness and caution, and sent truth-clarification information to those who did not answer.

The custodian for my building was the only person who didn’t pick up the phone, but he received a lot of information about Dafa. Practitioner Dahua said to me, “Maybe you had some grudge against him in your previous life?” I wanted to resolve this grudge, so I sent him a message, saying, “Your property management company provides services to the property owners, and I pay management fees every month. Why have you cut off the water and electricity to my home? Why have you installed surveillance cameras at my door? This is illegal. Please remove the cameras as soon as possible. As the saying goes, ‘You must face the consequences of your actions,’ so please do not act against your conscience.”

The custodian claimed that he was on leave the day the police surrounded my home and learned about the situation only later. He mentioned feeling powerless and felt that he could do nothing about the situation. I shared with him the harm I had suffered due to his complying with the authorities, and my initial desire to expose his actions to the homeowners’ association. However, remembering what my Master said about considering others first when taking any action, I decided to try to see it from his perspective. I was concerned that exposing the issue could negatively impact him. I worried that the homeowners would be outraged and angry with him. He may lose his job, and finding another job is difficult these days. Ultimately, I chose to share my concerns with him directly. My kindness seemed to touch him. Then he said he would report my demands to his superiors. I insisted that the cameras at my doorstep be removed immediately, that my water and electricity not be cut off without notice, or I would refuse to pay the management fee. I also requested that any future contacts be made via phone or text message. Not long after, when I returned to my hometown, I received a video clip from the custodian showing that the cameras at my door had been removed.

Because the custodian did not agree to my last two requests, I invited him to my home to discuss the matter after I returned. I explained the truth about Dafa and told him that practicing Falun Dafa is legal in China. Furthermore, the Ministry of Public Security did not list Falun Dafa as one of the 14 evil religious organizations published in 2000, and that in 2005, the Ministry of Public Security, the State Department, and the General Office of the CCP Central Committee issued a joint statement and identified 14 cult organizations. Falun Dafa still wasn’t on the list. After he understood this, the custodian agreed to my last two requests, and his attitude improved. After explaining the truth him, I sensed that my remaining fear was removed instantly.

I later learned that on the day the first power outage hit my home, Awei and Bailing had gone out and were arrested and taken to the police station, but they were released and returned home that night. After the harassment against me ended, I visited Awei at her home, but she did not open the door. When I left her building, someone followed me. A week later, she discovered that a camera had been installed at her door. But soon after, the camera was gone and we continued to do what Dafa practitioners are supposed to do.

This experience made me realize the seriousness of cultivation and the importance of believing in Master and the Fa. This was a successful case of practitioners in China and abroad cooperating as a whole to dismantle the evil persecution. Without Master’s help and the full cooperation of fellow practitioners, it would have been difficult for me to escape the fierce tribulation set up by the evil. I want to express my gratitude to fellow practitioners both in China and abroad for their selfless cooperation and righteous thoughts! I know that many practitioners are silently helping us by sending righteous thoughts.

I must follow Master, fulfill my vows, do the three things well, walk well on the final path of Fa rectification, and return home with Master!

I bow to Master for his compassion!
