(Clearwisdom.net) As Fa-rectification progresses, a large amount of evil has been eliminated. In the meantime, there is still severe persecution happening in some places in Mainland China. I believe this is because of the evil's nature, but it also has something to do with our cultivation. One righteous mind can subdue one hundred evils. When Dafa disciples' righteousness is soaring, the evil cannot do any harm to us even if they can find a place to hide. What follows are a few stories from the same region that can help illustrate some points. They are for your reference.

A teacher in a middle school was released from a labor camp in October 2001 and went back to the school. She was then confined in the school until the end of April 2003, when personnel from the "610 Office"* abducted her and put her into a brainwashing center. She has not been released yet.

Another practitioner in a nearby school came back from the labor camp. She kept clarifying the truth to the school's management and employees. At the end of April 2003, the "610 Office" told the school to pay a fee and to send someone to work with the police to escort the practitioner to the same brainwashing center. Since the school's directors and employees learn the truth already, they found these demands repugnant. They used all kinds of tactics to resist the "610 Office." The practitioner also resisted it firmly and sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil behind this plan. In the end, the 610 Office's plan was foiled.

A practitioner in another school encountered the same situation. When the school and the police station told him about the 610 Office's plans, he started to send forth righteous thoughts. He also asked other practitioners to help. Dozens of practitioners concentrated on sending forth righteous thoughts every hour for this. The 610 Office's plan failed in that case as well.

From these stories, we can see that if we don't acknowledge or cooperate with any persecution of Dafa disciples at all, and keep up the righteous thoughts and righteous actions, then evil will be eliminated, tribulations will be dissolved and the malicious environment will be turned into one that can help to save people.
