(Clearwisdom.net) I once read an experience sharing article about a practitioner being sentenced to a prison term only because he told people the facts about Falun Dafa. Afterwards, another practitioner and I went to visit his family, who was trying to get him out of prison by using bribery. They had tried every possible means to try to force him to “confess” his “mistake.”
He refused to cooperate with the police, so the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials said he would be subjected to a heavy sentence because of his attitude. His family believed that if he was persuaded to admit his “mistake,” it would be easier to get help from officials. We told them, “Please do not cooperate with the police or force him to confess to any mistakes. He did nothing wrong by telling people the truth (about Falun Dafa). Furthermore, the things that happen to a practitioner can't be decided by ordinary people. We should support him and expose the evil persecution.” We went to his home several times and shared our thoughts with his family. They gradually gained righteous thoughts and eventually stopped trying to persuade him to admit his mistakes. Instead, they supported him and wrote letters of appeal.
We later contacted practitioners in other cities and shared with them about his situation. We also asked his family members to collect phone numbers of those who participated in the persecution. After the phone numbers were posted online, we downloaded them from the website and printed out many copies. We then asked practitioners in our area to make recorded calls to the perpetrators, while I wrote letters to them. In the letter, I told them about Dafa and asked them to not persecute practitioners so that they can have a bright future.
My mind couldn't become still when I tried to write the letter. I still couldn't finish writing the letter after spending the whole morning on it. Later, when I was searching for information on the Internet, there was a knock at the door. I assumed it was a practitioner at the door because everyday people seldom visited my home. As a result, I didn't give it a second thought when I opened the door. A policeman then walked in, so I invited him to the living room. I quickly went to the other room to disconnect the Internet and shut down the computer. When I went back to the living room, the officer suddenly stood up and left. He left as quickly as he came.
I thought to myself, “Why did the police come to my home at this moment?” I sat down to calm myself and look inside. I asked myself, “Why was I interfered with?” I have been studying the Fa, sending righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth together with other practitioners. We are doing the most righteous thing. I finally identified my attachment of being too nervous. I wished that practitioners could overcome their tribulations as soon as possible. Although it was a good intention, I was nervous, worried and concerned during the process of rescuing practitioners. This was actually an attachment to affection for fellow practitioners. It was also a pursuit, which should be removed.
I started sending righteous thoughts to clean up my environment, eliminate interference from other dimensions and disintegrate the evil.
I went back to writing the letter after sending forth righteous thoughts. I asked Teacher to strengthen me. I gradually calmed down and had some ideas of what to write about. I finally finished the letter and showed it to other practitioners. They said it was good, so we started printing a lot of copies and putting them in envelopes.
It was already about 4:00 p.m. when we were going to mail the letters out. We didn't have lunch that day, so we wanted to eat something before we went out. I was holding a pot of water at the time. All of a sudden, something strange happened and all the water in the pot spilled on the floor. As a result, the floor became really slippery and I fell down backwards, causing my head and my tailbone to hit the ground hard. I felt as though that my head was going to explode. I shouted out the Fa-rectification verses. I also thought of Teacher's Fa in my heart,
“If you are a true practitioner, our Falun will safeguard you. I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe.” (Zhuan Falun)
I felt dizzy, my back was all wet and there were loud sounds in my ears. When I tried to get up, I felt extreme pain in my tail bone. I thought, “I must stand up. I can't lay here like this.” Then I tried to get up using my legs, but I didn't feel I had control of them. I told myself to look within, even though I was nervous. I was able to identify my loopholes that the evil was taking advantage of. I then told myself that I was doing the most righteous thing, so the evil can't test or persecute me. Teacher is always looking after me. I asked Teacher to strengthen me because I had to stand up. As I was thinking about this, I was able to stand up. However, I still didn't have control of my legs. I wanted to walk, but I couldn't move my legs. I told my legs in my heart, “You are mine, so you should obey my order.” I held one leg and said, “Walk.” I then moved one step ahead. I held the other leg and said, “Walk.” And I moved another step ahead. I thought, “I will do whatever I am supposed to do.” Then, I started walking. I really did what I was supposed to do that day. My righteous thoughts disintegrated the interference and persecution from other dimensions at that time. The next day, everything was back to normal except for some pain in my tail bone. I have now recovered completely.
Righteous thoughts come from studying the Fa and genuine cultivation. Our compassionate Teacher is beside us all the time, protecting us.
