(Clearwisdom.net) Sending forth righteous thoughts is one of the three things which our Master asks us to do as Dafa disciples during the Fa-rectification period. Our merciful Master taught us this precious skill in early 2001. At the time, I was detained in a labor camp, and I did not use righteous thoughts very well to eliminate evil and save sentient beings. I was regretful after I went back home, as I had lost so many chances of sending forth righteous thoughts together with the whole body of Dafa disciples.
In order to catch up, besides reading Zhuan Falun I also read and recited the essential articles about sending forth righteous thoughts. I learned to recite "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are Powerful", and I learned the first six paragraphs of "Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A.", reciting them many times. I basically learned to use righteous thoughts after I read many times "What are Supernormal Abilities?", "The Effect of Righteous Thoughts" and "Look at Things with Righteous Thoughts".
During the 16th Party Congress, the local authorities worried about my going to Beijing to appeal, so they kidnapped me from my home and locked me in a detention center. There, I and several other practitioners realized that we should not accept the persecution. We decided that if we joined together to send forth righteous thoughts non-stop for 24 hours, it would be good for Fa-rectification. A new practitioner also agreed with us, which gave us more confidence.
We took a pencil and paper and drew up a chart, so that if practitioner A sent righteous thoughts from 7am until 8am, practitioner B would continue by sending righteous thoughts from 8am until 9am, etc. There were also times when we would send righteous thoughts together. Some practitioners with more energy always sent forth righteous thoughts even if that was not their duty time.
It was incredible that the practitioners who had difficulty crossing their legs in meditation for one hour, had no trouble maintaining a strong main consciousness for one hour of righteous thoughts. I would keep my legs crossed for three hours of continuous righteous thoughts. Once after sending righteous thoughts for 90 minutes, I put down my legs to relax a while, then crossed them again, and sent forth righteous thoughts for four and a half hours -- the feeling was wonderful. An elderly practitioner crossed his legs to send forth righteous thoughts for six and a half hours, and as soon as he put his legs down he was able to help make the beds, clear the floor, wash clothes, clean the bathroom, etc. Additionally, an itch on his body that had given him sleeping troubles for many years disappeared. The new practitioner was especially diligent in reminding other practitioners to send righteous thoughts at midnight, and he himself at that time carried it through for 30 minutes to one hour.
So, we continued to send forth righteous thoughts together 24 hours a day from November through to the following January. Through doing this, we successfully prevented the local police department and 610 Office from illegally sentencing four practitioners. The four were released, and were able to go on validating the Fa.
