(Clearwisdom.net) Once a colleague of mine had a wedding celebration and invited many guests. Social occasions like this provided me with a golden opportunity to clarify the truth. While I was clarifying the truth, I suddenly saw two policemen walking in to the celebration. They are both known to be in charge of overseeing Falun Gong practitioners. One is very wicked while the other one is not as bad.
My home was originally a practice site. This wicked policeman and wife were assigned to monitor my home. When he walked in, my first thought was that he should leave, and should not prevent me from clarifying the truth. Within five minutes, there were noises outside and as it turns out his wife fainted in front of a store. I continued to clarify the truth, even did not notice when the policeman left. People at the reception were very enthusiastic, some asked me questions and we exchanged thoughts freely. Afterwards, someone told me that I had done a good job but she was worried about my safety. There were so many people listening quietly and many of their questions were answered. In fact, everything was arranged and done by Teacher, and in my heart I just wanted to validate the Fa.
One time, my daughter's friend called and said that her mother had two brain surgeries in less than a year and they were not successful. The mother could not take care of herself, and needed long term care. She wondered what she should do. Her friend said that her mother was only fifty-years-old and she wished that she could practice the exercises. Upon hearing that, I went to visit the woman and took her a copy of Zhuan Falun. I clarified the truth, talked about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, encouraged them to do the "three withdrawals (from the Communist Party and its auxiliary organizations)," and cleaned up the demonic images in her home. Her family members accepted all that. After practicing the exercises and studying the Fa, her body showed changes and improvements. Because of the two surgeries, she was afraid and could not give up the thought of taking medication. She asked me to visit her every other day, and I patiently supported her. One time she phoned me and cried. After listening to her, I found out that she had an argument with the neighbors because she did not regard herself as a practitioner. After we shared, she became aware of her mistakes, and quickly calmed down. Her family was mystified, and her spouse began to learn the Fa. In order to help her let go of the attachment of curing her illness, I asked her to move into my house. My living environment is good, the energy field is strong, and people who live here are all practitioners. As a result, she improved very quickly. I took her with me as I went out to clarify the truth, talk about the Nine Commentaries, and encourage people to quit the CCP. She walked more than ten li (1 li = 0.5 kilometer) to her relatives' house. Her friends and relatives all saw the change in her and witnessed the mysterious power of Dafa. Not only did they quit the party, but the head of the household also learned Dafa. In a short period of time, she went from a person who could not take care of herself and was dependent on medication, to someone who rides on a bicycle clarifying the truth in her neighborhood. She also established a small Fa study group of six people.
Once, two practitioners and I went to a remote mountainous area to write Dafa phrases, hang banners, and distribute flyers. Because the people there were enthusiastic and understood what we were doing, I developed an attachment of zealotry which allowed the evil elements to take advantage of the loophole. I forgot to send forth righteous thoughts, and after a while, I became relaxed and was not vigilant. Some wicked person reported us to the authorities. As a result, one person fled, and the two of us were arrested. At the public security department, we were beaten, tortured, and interrogated day and night. I constantly recited "Mighty Virtue" from Hong Yin strengthened my righteous thoughts, guarded my xinxing, and did not implicate the other practitioner. When we were transferred to the detention facility, we practiced the exercises every day, recited the Fa, sent forth righteous thoughts, and clarified the truth to everyone we encountered. The policemen witnessed the mighty power of Dafa. They said that Falun Gong is truly powerful, that it overpowered them, and that "there was nothing they could do about it."
While I was in prison, I clarified the truth to a suspect convicted of a business crime. She learned the five exercises and studied the Fa with us. She said because her son-in-law is a wicked policeman, she could not hear the truth, the beautiful sound of the truth. Now that Teacher allowed her to learn Dafa while in jail, in the future, she will tell her daughter and her family to learn Dafa. Very soon, the charges of her alleged crime were cleared, and she went home safely.
There were also two girls in the prison. One killed her neighbor's child, the other was a thief. The policemen used them to monitor, to scold, to beat, and to spy on us. When they had leftover food, they wasted it or threw it away rather than feed us. We carefully admonished and persuaded them while acting with compassion to move and care for them. Finally, we aroused their conscience, and they saw their shortcomings. Gradually they warmed up to us, stopped treating us the way they used to, and cared for us as if we were their family and elderly. They protected us, advised us of any information, and notified us of the prison guards' actions. This allowed us to deal with the guards individually. The nicer guards brought us water on time and the haughtiness of the more wicked ones was restrained.
After several months of detention, another practitioner and I were sentenced to forced labor. In order to increase my sentence, the accusations placed on the other practitioner were transferred to me, and she was released. On the day of sending us to the forced labor camp, we coordinated with each other to send forth one thought - that none of us would be sent away. Sure enough, in the middle of our trip, we had symptoms of illness - vomiting, nausea, chills, and palor. The wicked police were surprised by the situation and scolded us, saying that we were fine at first and asked why were we now exhibiting signs of illness? When we reached the province hospital, the doctors examined us and said we had high blood pressure, weak hearts, and were about to die. The doctors repeatedly scolded the police for bringing dying people to the hospital, where they would then have to assume responsibility for them. The wicked policemen said that we were pretending to be ill and they left us outside to get some sun, while they left to have lunch. In the afternoon we were sent to the military hospital for a physical examination, and found to be in an even more serious condition than previously. The police were very upset and took us back. Finally, we were released on bail for medical treatment. Upon hearing that I was rejected by the hospital due to my serious illness, my daughter quietly took me to another hospital for a physical examination. I was found to be healthy as usual and everyone was happy about the result.
There is an interlude amidst all these happenings - my husband was also saved. He learned Dafa at the same time we did. After the persecution when I was arrested several times, he was scared and practiced on and off. One day, he suddenly developed symptoms of a stroke and half of his body was paralyzed. He depended on me since he was unable to take care of himself. His practice was up and down and he was unable to come out of this difficult situation. After my arrest this time, he felt as if disaster was arriving and was very discouraged. Eventually, feeling compelled by the situation and the encouragement of other practitioners, he became self-reliant and actively studied the Fa and practiced the exercises. His body was gradually transformed. He told others that he has really returned to Dafa this time. By the time he recovered, I was out of jail as well. We have witnessed again the miracles of Dafa, as Teacher has said in Hong Yin II:
"Disciples' righteous thoughts are strong, Master has the power to turn the tide" (Hong Yin II)
