(Clearwisdom.net) In early 1998, guided by Teacher, I met a friend who had just found the ladder to heaven in the book Zhuan Falun. I was fortunate enough to learn Falun Dafa, and I became a cultivator. I will describe a true story I experienced, which helped me get out of trouble and eliminate the old forces' arrangements by believing in Teacher and Dafa.
One hot summer day, I finished distributing Falun Dafa informational materials and putting up posters in an typical residential neighborhood, and then went to an upper class neighborhood. I was very hot and I took off my T-shirt, which exposed my upper body. A guard saw me and asked what I was doing there. I said I was lost, and I tried to escape. The guard called for help and a dozen or so other guards arrived. Seeing that I was distributing Falun Gong materials, one of them said “Catching one Falun Gong person will get you a 2000 yuan bonus, so don’t let him escape.” They grabbed me and took me toward the guard office.
I found an opportunity to escape on the way there, but I was immediately caught. They then beat and interrogated me, but I told them nothing. They finally turned me over to the local police.
Seeing that I was bruised all over, the officers didn't handcuff me at the police station. They tried to get me to tell them where I lived and where I got my materials, but I just smiled and remained silent.
At 2:00 a.m. the two officers were tired, so they told me to stay put, and that they would take me to the branch office the next day. They went to bed and had the two guards watch me. At that time, an image of a map marked with arrows appeared in my head. I was excited, as it seemed that Teacher was helping me to escape. At around 3:00 a.m., one guard told the other, “Go sit at the door and block it. I locked the door downstairs, and I'm going to take a nap. It will be your turn in a minute.”
Awhile later, I said to the guard, “Come over and let me show you something.” After he came over and sat down by me, I said, “I am going to the restroom and will be back in a minute.” I pulled open the door, closed it behind me, and ran toward downstairs. Arriving downstairs, sure enough the door was locked, but I was not concerned. Standing two meters from it, I applied the movement from the Falun Gong exercises called “Vajra Toppling a Mountain,” and the iron chain broke with a crushing sound and the door opened. I followed the map in my head. A watch dog came up to me barking in the yard. I said in my mind, “Don’t bark. Get away.” The dog stayed behind and didn't follow me.
I was on the street, with no place to hide. I tried to hail a taxi, but the drivers saw that I had only my pants on, and no one would stop. I continued running until I saw a bush in the middle of the road. Figuring that the police were about to catch up with me, I dove into the bush and hid there. The police came and searched all night, and finally left at dawn without finding me.
Teacher said,
“If all Chinese Dafa students can be more mindful of their conduct in daily life, be neater, and be considerate of others in everything they do, that's the demeanor of Dafa disciples.” ("Comments on the Article 'Some Ideas From Discussions Among Students Who Have Participated in the Sit-In Appeals in Front of the Chinese Embassies and Consulates'")
I learned from this incident that Dafa practitioners need to pay attention to their demeanor while saving people. Even everyday people should dress neatly when they go to work. From then on, I always wore presentable clothing while doing these things. I also enlightened that for steadfast practitioners,
“Their righteous thoughts need to be strong, and they should fully use their wisdom. One righteous thought itself subdues a hundred evil things.” (“Righteous Thoughts”)
