Teacher told us,
"Wherever there's a problem, that is where you need to clarify the truth and save people. Don't take a detour when you run into difficulties. When you see something that does us harm, or when you see something blocking our validating the Fa, don't take a detour-you should face it, and clarify the truth and save those beings. This is the compassion (cibei) of a Dafa disciple, and it's our saving lives. At the same time, when you're clarifying the truth you can resolve the problem of many people having been deceived, the misunderstandings, and the prejudice."("Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference")
I am a Dafa practitioner who has been persistently persecuted. A hunger strike secured my release the first time I had been kidnapped. Three days later, the Political and Judiciary Committee of the City sent people from the "610 Office" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems) and the security section of my workplace to my house. They tried to force me to write a "guarantee" saying that I would not go to Beijing to appeal. I refused and was kidnapped again. After being detained for two months, I was released again as I held another hunger strike.
The third time, I was followed and abducted when I was attending a Falun Dafa experience sharing conference. The day after I was taken to the detention center, my arms and legs went numb and my face turned pale. I wrote a declaration stating that should I unexpectedly die, it would be a direct result of police persecution. My cellmate, a common criminal, called in the guard, the doctor and the director of the detention center for me. They took my blood pressure. I believed it was Teacher's arrangement to let me leave the devil's den. Within twenty minutes, officers from the police station came and took me home. The third day after I had arrived home, a kind policeman came to warn me that I had just been sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp, so I decided to leave my home in order to avoid further persecution. On any so-called "sensitive day," evil policemen would go to my home to intimidate and threaten to kidnap me. During the time when I was homeless, I elevated my xinxing by studying Teacher's lectures and decided to go home to clarify the truth to those people who persecuted me without knowing the truth.
Clarifying the truth to people working in the "610 Office":
I decided to talk directly to a man who works in the "610 Office." One day I came across him and his wife while they were shopping. While sending forth righteous thoughts, I clarified the truth to him, and I said, "We Falun Gong practitioners are not bad people. When your mother had a mild stroke, you held her by the arm and brought her to our practice spot and trusted me with helping her study and practice. Seeing how busy you were with your job, we often escorted your mother home after practice. After about ten days of practice, your mother could walk. Within one month, she stopped taking medicine and could do household chores. Wasn't it your mother that took care of cooking meals for your elder brother's children? Seeing your mother cured, your father also came to practice. Should you not thank Falun Dafa for bringing happiness to your family?
"Your job is to follow orders from your leader, yet the power is under your discretion. A single word from you could protect a practitioner or arrest him. Don't create karma for yourself. Be responsible to your life and take the right position for yourself. After the Fa is rectified, how will you face your relatives and neighbors? You also know heaven's law that good is rewarded with good, and evil meets with evil." He didn't feel like listening to me, but he didn't oppose me, either. Several days later, I came across his parents (who once practiced Falun Gong) and clarified the truth to them. Later, during a wave of mass arrests, his father gave me forewarning.
The person in charge of the "610 Office" in our workplace had been actively participating in persecuting Dafa practitioners. I had put his name on the "list of evil persons," which was a shock to him. He no longer works himself to the bone for his superiors like he used to. Recently, a notice from our workplace asked homeless practitioners to come back to work and that their lost salaries would be made up.
Clarifying the truth to the people working in the security section of our workplace:
Every night, people from the security section of our work unit went around to catch practitioners who distributed clarifying-the-facts materials and confiscated any materials whenever they encountered them. I tried to get in contact with them. When coming across them, I took the initiative to greet them, told them that Falun Dafa teaches people to be nice to everyone, advised them not to create karma for themselves, let them know heaven's law that good is rewarded with good and evil is met with evil. After I talked to them several times, their head said, "It's nice of you to tell us, ma'am. Indeed we are not willing to do this kind of thing any longer. You can rest assured. From now on, we will not step in if only one of us sees you posting materials." Since then they have never arrested any practitioner who posts Dafa materials.
Talking to the people in the "610 Office" after my leader harassed me:
My leader talked to me, asking me to quit practicing. Then I managed to talk to someone in the "610 Office" to clarify the truth. I went to see him almost every day. Whenever I went to his office, he felt he could not concentrate on his work and complained that I disturbed him. I said, "It is the same when they [my leaders] come to talk to me? I will keep coming unless you order them not to come to my place."
Clarifying the truth in the political and security section of the district police:
The Security section once sent people to search my house. After I talked to them, a policeman suddenly had a sharp pain in his lower back, and found himself unable to move. I took a piece of medicated plaster for rheumatism and stuck it to his waist. He said, "Very good. I feel much better. It is really strange. Is this medicine expensive?" I said, "It is very good medicine produced before 1996. At that time I had serious waist pain and could not bend over. After I practiced Falun Gong, all my diseases went away. You can just take this bag of medicated plasters home." They said, "After several meetings with you, we all feel you are really good. Well, you may practice at home, but don't go out to distribute flyers or go to Beijing." I said, "What we do-- letting you know Falun Dafa is good and asking you not to create karma for yourselves--is to save all of you." Then, the branch police station called, asking if they had finished their searching. They answered, "Nothing has been found. Don't take her over there. We may just quit and go home." During the whole time, I lost no time sending forth righteous thoughts. The mighty power of righteous thoughts makes evil factors in other dimensions no longer able to control policemen before a practitioner.
