(Clearwisdom.net) Inspired by discussions from a recent Minghui article, I would like to share some of my personal experiences in using divine powers to validate the Fa in recent years.
I learned from Master's teachings that we have all kinds of divine powers, but simply do not know how to use them. Actually, we are hindered by human notions. Directly speaking, we do not firmly believe in Master and Dafa from our inner selves. We cultivate Buddhahood, and it is the divine power of the Buddha Fa revealing its power at a level when our Buddha-nature emerges. When we meet the requirements of that level, we may use the divine power at will. It is under our full control if our thoughts are pure. The key is that the pure thought should come from our inner selves.
1. Never Separated from the Fa, Righteous Thoughts Display Divine Might
In 2001, I went twice to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa. I went there with Master's book and came home with it. After I displayed the banners "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance" and "Fa's Rectification of the Human World" on two occasions, the police arrested me. During the first arrest, they searched me and took the book. After I told him the facts about Falun Gong, the officer returned the book to me. I asked for Master's help and went over a wall. I returned home two days later.
During the second arrest, they searched me twice. I sent out a strong thought that I was a god and no one could find the book Zhuan Falun. They touched the book with their hands but did not find it. I went home after a 17-day hunger strike.
2. Calling for Wind and Rain to Help Me to Assist Master in Fa-Rectification
In 2005, I was detained at a detention center. At six o'clock in the evening, holding one palm erect facing a window, I sent out a strong thought: "God of Wind, God of Rain, and God of Thunder, please help me to assist Master in Fa-rectification. Blow up the evil that persecutes local practitioners in other dimensions." As soon as my thought was sent, a big fireball came in through the window and circled the room. Several inmates and two practitioners cried, "Oh my god!" and hunkered down on their beds. The fireball went over their heads and out the window. Then, after an exploding sound, there was a thunderstorm. The TV antennas at the detention center were hit by lightning and broke.
On another occasion, a coordinator and I sent righteous thoughts from 6 to 7 a.m. I sent a strong thought: "Gods of Wind, Rain and Thunder, please help me blow away all the evil that persecutes the local practitioners." Once the thought was sent, thunder occurred repeatedly between 6 and 7 a.m.
3. Divine Power Shocks the Police
During a 2001 trial, I said out loud in the courtroom that my practicing Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance did not make me guilty, that it was unjust to accuse me of being guilty, and that the heavens would cry. As soon as I said that, clouds obscured the clear sky, and it lightninged and thundered. Seven inches of rain fell around the courthouse in two hours. It was dry beyond the courthouse.
On the way to the detention center, I thought it was not a place for me to be. Immediately, the police car broke down in front of a repair shop. All four wheels, a circuit, and a hose broke. The two officers shouted angrily, "This is a result of your power. It must be you." I smiled, "If you survive by no longer persecuting practitioners, you will tell such a story to your children and grandchildren." The officers pondered my words. The bystanders heard that a practitioner broke a car using supernormal power and news about it spread to the detention center. The guards on all three shifts came to my cell to confirm the story. The inmates began to believe in Falun Dafa. Some learned to recite Hong Yin from me. Some said that they would learn Dafa once they got out.
4. No Device Worked When Righteous Thoughts Were Sent
I have been imprisoned on many occasions during these years. The guards put handcuffs and fetters on me. They tied me up with rope when they found me practicing the exercises. But none of these methods worked on me. At the Beijing Fangshan Detention Center, all 19 practitioners were handcuffed and shackled in a cell for carrying out a hunger strike. All the handcuffs and shackles opened. The guards did not believe it and thought we had nails or other tools. The inmates tried to explain, but the guards did not listen. They fastened the handcuffs and shackles again. A practitioner and I opened our handcuffs in front of them. The guards saw it and then believed. They set us all free.
5. Keys Broken with Righteous Thought in a Detention Center
Once in a detention center, a guard walked me to a cell. I saw her holding a metal ring full of keys and had the thought of not letting her open the door. Immediately, all the keys broke. The guard looked at me and asked what had happened. I told her that practitioners should not be imprisoned. She looked at me full of surprise.
6. Reading Master's Book in the Dark
It was dark outside one winter night after 5 p.m. I was reading Master's book in the detention center, while several practitioners and inmates were listening. The power went out suddenly. I did not notice and kept reading out loud. The others started to applaud. I said, "You stopped listening to me. What happened?" They said, "The power is gone. Are you still able to read it?" I replied, "It's not dark." The inmates were surprised. They witnessed the divine powers of practitioners. We encouraged them, "You are lucky. Not everyone can see it." They started to learn Falun Dafa with us.
7. Small Characters Became Bigger
When I was imprisoned, a practitioner hand-copied "Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference" and gave it to me. There were 11 pages copied on bathroom tissue. The characters were small and it was very dark in bed at night. I could not read it. I spoke to Master in my heart, "Please, Master, enlarge and lighten the characters." The bedding covers became illuminated, and the characters became as big as my finger. Master strengthened me. I did not feel sleepy the whole night and read through it several times.
8. Divine Powers of the Buddha Fa Helped Me During the Persecution
In recent years, while I was imprisoned, I was repeatedly beaten by guards for reading Master's book, practicing the exercises, or shouting "Falun Dafa is good." Each time I was beaten, I thought about the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt and I did not feel any pain. It was Master who suffered for my sake. No words could express my gratitude to Master.
There are many stories about the divine power of the Buddha Fa during Fa rectification. These are just a few for sharing. I'd like to mention that it is not hard to use the divine power of the Buddha Fa. We just need to use it. Have the confidence that "I am a disciple of Master. Buddha Law is boundless. I am a particle in the Fa. My wisdom is boundless." Open your mind. Send out a pure thought. Try it.
"If every one of you can understand the Fa from the depths of your mind, that will truly be the manifestation of the Fa whose power knows no boundary--the reappearance of the mighty Buddha Fa in the human world!" ("Cautionary Advice" from Essentials for Further Advancement)
