“My fashen will protect you until you are able to protect yourself.” (Zhuan Falun) My experiences in tribulations on my path of cultivation have proved what Teacher said time and again.
1. Jails Cannot Hold Me
In 2001, I went to an experience-sharing conference attended by many practitioners and was arrested. After being detained for a period of time, I was sent to a brainwashing center. I was locked up in a small room and watched around the clock. I was confined to my room, not even allowed to leave to use the restroom. Previously, another practitioner was in the same room. Although he did not give up his faith, he was only let go after he became disabled as a result of torture. I was determined that I would not be locked up. After I arrived, I saw on the wall above my bed a graph in the form of the character of “Divine.” Teacher hinted to me that I should handle everything with divine thoughts. Every day, I sent righteous thoughts and recited the limited amount of Fa I had managed to memorize. In addition, I used every opportunity to do the exercises and, with my righteous thoughts, my environment improved.
One day I overheard an argument between the guards and a fellow practitioner. I stood by the window and sent righteous thoughts. Afterwards, I heard them assault her. I shouted, “Stop hitting people!” Immediately, there was dead silence. Later, I overheard a meeting with the guards, who were told to close the windows before abusing the practitioners.. Apparently, they thought it was someone in the neighborhood who had heard them. After they found out it was me, a half of dozen guards came to my room in an attempt to “fix” me. I said calmly, “Wouldn't you agree that hitting people is wrong? Didn't you talk about teaching us like 'gentle wind and soft rain?' Can't you reason with people?” They left quietly and said something meaningless. After my noon nap, I saw many wolves with green eyes about to attack me, but they were suppressed.
Repeatedly, I cleansed my mind of any unrighteous thoughts used by ordinary people to get out of this situation. The evil saw right through it and tried to suppress my righteous thoughts. For example, an inmate that followed said, “I will bring you some grapes after they ripen in my backyard.” I immediately said, “I will not wait for your grapes, I will go to your house and eat them with you.” A guard said, “After it gets hot, move your bed over here to get the air conditioning.” I said, “Why would I be here in the summer?” They all laughed at me and thought I was just fantasizing, but I had no doubt I would get out of there.
On another occasion, I had heard a sentence on TV: “They turned into butterflies and flew away.” It rang in my ears all day. My door unlocked by itself a couple of times. My guard's bed collapsed for no reason. I felt Teacher was making things happen for me. It was time to go and I was watching for opportunities to leave. One day, a police officer summoned and interrogated me. I asked him, “Why can't you let me go, I have been here for a few months?” He didn't say anything and asked another prisoner to take me to my room. I walked very slowly and turned around and looked at the prisoner. What I saw was not a human being, but a strange, ugly-looking monster about a foot tall. I thought, “What is this? How could it keep a Dafa practitioner here?”
After that thing saw me going into a small room, he left. I saw that the guard in my room was not there. I immediately walked out towards a metal gate in the middle of the hallway. Normally, guards patrolled the hallway, but not now. I walked a few more steps and saw the cleaning person. He knew I was a Falun Gong practitioner and was shocked to see me walking in the hallway. I turned and walked slowly for a few more steps and saw him walk into another room. I walked towards the gate again. It was usually locked, but at lunchtime, it was open and there was no guard. As I got closer, the guard looked away. I slipped out and went downstairs. After I walked by the dining hall on the first floor, dozens of people were waiting for their food, but no one saw me. Now I was outside and saw a tricycle waiting with the door open. I got in and left. Everything was so natural.
2. Teacher's Warm Hand
On another occasion, I was on my bike on a one-way lane going home after distributing informational pamphlets at the supermarket. After I made a turn, I saw a big truck coming downhill towards me. It was getting dark and the truck was not slowing down. I got over to the side of the road onto a pile of rocks. As I crashed into the rocks, I shouted for Teacher’s help. I wore a pair of high heels and would not be able to secure my footing. Suddenly, I felt my ankles supported by a warm hand and was able to stand up, my hands only lightly scratched by the rocks. The truck did not stop and rushed by me. I saw from the truck side mirror that the driver was laughing evilly at me. He looked like the face of Satan and wanted to take my life, but he didn’t succeed.
In another instance, I was on my way to work. After I pushed the lever on the gate in my residential complex, I got hit by a motorcycle. I fell off my bike, face down. I shouted, “Teacher, my face!” Again, I felt my face was supported by a warm hand. My hands bled and several rods on my bike wheels broke. The impact was huge. After I got home, my ribs hurt a lot. I did the exercises for a month and I felt better once again. I was amazed and grateful that my face was not scratched. I had Teacher's protection. I would have hurt my face and it would be difficult with a scratched face to talk to people about Falun Gong.
3. Taxi That Stopped at the Gate
On another occasion, I went to a gated residential community to distribute truth clarification pamphlets and was spotted by the security guard. After I came out of the building, he was closing the gate. He asked me, “Are you distributing Falun Gong CDs?” I said that I was visiting and walked out. By now, he had closed one side of the gate and was going to close the other side on me. Suddenly, a taxi stopped right in front of the other side, preventing it from being closed. I walked out quickly and left.
4. The Dog on the Stairs
In another instance, I went into an apartment building and up the stairs. A couple came in. I didn't know their floor and kept going until I arrived at the top floor. I was not sure what to do. I saw a big dog with a gentle look standing across the stairs, blocking my way. I realized I should not go up, turned around, and let the couple pass by. I heard them opening and closing their door, but I didn't hear the dog nor them calling for the dog. After I looked back, the dog was gone. I know it was Teacher who showed a heavenly dog and warned me of danger ahead. On my way down, I distributed flyers and left.
5. Divine Abilities
“One can develop supernormal abilities through cultivation practice.” (Zhuan Falun) I have practiced Falun Gong now for ten years. The following are a few examples of the divine abilities I experienced.
Divine Foot Ability
On another occasion, I had to go to a place for business, but took the bus going the wrong direction. After I found out, I got off the bus and walked towards where I needed to go. I walked for an hour and was still far away. On that day, I wore high heels and was in a funk. I begged Teacher, “Master, will you please let me use my Divine Foot Ability?” Immediately, I shook a little, looked up, and I was right where I needed to be. Thank you, Master!
The armed police officers cannot see me
On another occasion, I went to the bank to get some money. The ATM was not working, so I went in. When I got to the counter, the employees yelled, “What are you doing here? How did you get in?” I explained that I had just walked in and then left. The two armed police officers heard their shouts and realized I went right past them. I thought I might have gone into another dimension and they did not see me.
Conclusion
I remember a situation on the street. Two members of a religious group wanted to promote their beliefs to me. I told them I practiced Falun Dafa and I have the best Master in the world.
Yes, I have the best Master in the world, and we are on our path to godhood.
My level is limited, so please point out anything inappropriate.
