(Clearwisdom.net) My entire family, which includes my husband, my son and me, are Falun Dafa practitioners. We have been persecuted such that we have become destitute and homeless in order to avoid near certain illegal arrest were we to return to our home. During the past two years that we have been homeless, we have been gradually maturing in cultivation.
On the day after the Chinese New Year of 2002, Falun Gong practitioners in Changchun City tapped into the cable TV signal to broadcast the truth about the practice and the persecution of Falun Gong to hundreds of thousands of homes in the area. At around one o'clock that next morning, a battle between justice and evil took place at my home in Xiagazabu Village, Jilatu Town, Qianguo County, Songyuan City, Jilin Province. It ended when we used righteous thoughts to stop the evil persecution.
That night, we were awakened by the sudden noise of someone pounding on our door. Through the window, my husband and I saw that six or seven people were outside. They asked us to open the door because they had some urgent issues that needed to be resolved. My husband asked, "What are you doing? What's up?" They said they were from the Jilatu Town Police Station and asked us to open the door before they would talk to us.
I thought, "Several days ago, police had tricked a fellow practitioner from our village into opening the door and had then abducted him. He was finally sentenced to a year in a forced labor camp. They must not take us away because we still want to clarify the truth." (1) So I said, "If you have anything for us, please come back later when it is daylight. Why do you come here in the middle of the night anyway? Are you afraid that others might see you in the light of day?" They said they had an urgent matter to discuss, so they had come immediately, in the middle of the night. I said, "I don't open my door for anyone who comes at night."
The police said, "If you do not open the door, we will have to pry it open." Shortly afterward, we heard the sound of the door being pried open with a steel bar.
I said, "Your devious nonsense doesn't matter, and what my Teacher says does matter. You should not be trying to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners."
When the police realized that we were not going to open the door for them, they called the village mayor and the head of security and asked them to come and persuade us to open the door. When they arrived, I called out to them, "You should not be accompanying them to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. It is the law of nature that good deeds will be rewarded with good fortune and that misdeeds will be met with retribution."
We sent forth righteous thoughts while we clarified the truth to them for a long time but they still did not leave. One of the police officers asked, "Where is your child?"
"Don't even think about starting with my child," I warned. Then I thought to myself, "They still haven't left even after such a long time. Are my righteous thoughts not pure enough, or is the stature of my mind not right? Don't I do well in validating Falun Dafa?" Immediately, I dismissed these doubts and began shouting from my house, "Fellow villagers and neighbors! Come out and take a look at what's going on! The police have come to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners and take away good people! They are committing a crime! Righteousness will be rewarded with happiness, and wrongdoing with personal catastrophe. Those who persecute good people will be condemned with misfortune."
I shouted it over and over. The police grew panic-stricken and said that my shouting was not permitted. A neighboring Falun Dafa practitioner heard me and informed another practitioner. The two practitioners quickly began informing the other villagers, asking them to come and help dissuade the authorities. Fellow villagers responded by flocking to my home. When the villagers began discussing a plan by which several people could hold each of the police officers while we would then run away, the police felt somewhat threatened and drove the villagers back until they were outside the gate. Then they started to pry the door. At first, we sat on our bed to send forth righteous thoughts while we reasoned with the intruders. When we heard glass breaking, we knew they must have already pried open the door. My husband and I went to the doorway and saw that a policeman was climbing up to our floor. Out of a sense of justice, my husband sternly called out, "I will see who dares to climb up here," causing the policeman to quickly retreat.
The stalemate lasted for nearly three hours. The police used a cell phone to call their superior officer. I remember thinking that it must have been our benevolent Teacher protecting us. Finally, another vehicle drove up to the gate of my house, and four or five people got out. One was a highly placed director of Qianguo County. The police reported to their home office about what happened. They discussed the situation for awhile and then said, "Do you have any relatives living nearby? If so, let them enter your home to have a look and see whether your hands are injured. It is said that those who tapped into the cable TV had hurt their hands in the attempt." I knew that this was just a ruse and that his real purpose was to get us to open the door.
Then another officer asked, "Where is your child?"
Suddenly, I turned to my husband and asked, "Is Teacher giving us a hint? We should awaken our son and ask him to send forth righteous thoughts, shouldn't we?" So my husband woke up my son and asked him to send forth righteous thoughts.
Later, a police officer said, "Okay. Everything is alright because we can see through the window." After looking through the window, they left, crestfallen. My son later said that about three minutes after he had gotten up and began sending forth righteous thoughts, he saw some evil demons in another dimension, jumping and shouting out in the yard. The magic weapon that Teacher gave us, the potent formula for sending forth righteous thoughts, is what eliminated them.
Under the protection of our great, benevolent Teacher, we again broke the arrangement and persecution by the old forces.
In closing, I cite Teacher's words,
"Validate the Fa with reason, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and offer people salvation with benevolence--this is establishing the mighty virtue of an enlightened being."
