(Clearwisdom.net) I acquired the Fa in 1998 when I was 75 years old. Master completely eliminated all the negative spirits and illnesses I had and purified my mind. I became energetic and a healthy color returned to my face. In order to repay Master's compassionate salvation, I wanted to do the three things well. Below I want to share my experience and understanding about explaining the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong to the local government and police stations.
After the evil Chinese Communist Party started to persecute Falun Gong in 1999, most of the practitioners in my local area went to Beijing to validate the Fa. For all kinds of reasons, I could not make it. But in my heart I felt regret. Compassionate Master did so much for us. Dafa is so great but the CCP was slandering it and the public was been deceived by its vicious lies. I could not stay at home anymore. I thought that even though I could not go to Beijing to validate the Fa, I could go to my local government and tell them the truth about Falun Gong. If they would not participate in persecuting Dafa and Dafa practitioners, that would be a great thing. So I went to my township government office.
I was received by a secretary. I cried and told him how much I had benefited from Dafa physically and mentally. I told them how the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance teaches us to be good people. I asked him why they took part in persecuting good people. He said, “We just follow orders from our superiors. What we say does not count.” I said, “Then you should tell your superiors that it is wrong to persecute Falun Gong.” He did not say anything. Then I spoke up enough for everyone in the room to hear and talked about the greatness of Dafa. They all listened and nobody objected. I could see they all acknowledged what I said. In the end, the secretary sent me out very politely.
Later, the CCP pressured our local government and public security systems to organize a brainwashing session and force practitioners to participate and be “transformed.” After I heard about this, I thought, “We should transform them. Master taught us to follow the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to be a good person, to be the greatest person in the world. There is no way that they can 'transform' us. I need to transform them and let them know the truth.”
Protected by Master, I did not have any fear at all. I walked into the brainwashing session and told everyone who had been sent to “transform” me the truth about Falun Dafa. I said, “Dafa is miraculous. I had illnesses for many years and never found a cure even after visiting many big hospitals. But Dafa cured me and cleared away the negative spirits that had bothered me for many years. You could not get such benefits no matter how much you paid. Moreover, we are not like you who get salaries. We do not need money for medical treatment. We practice Falun Gong, we have healthy bodies, and we have become good people. It is the greatest thing in the world. Why you don't let us practice Falun Gong? I wish you could clearly tell good from evil and right from wrong. Only then will you have a good future.” Later I heard that the county organized another brainwashing session, but they did not dare to make me go.
In 2001, there was no material production site in our local area yet. All the truth-clarifying materials were sent from elsewhere and kept at our coordinator's home. Because our coordinator was arrested and detained when they went to Beijing to validate Dafa, there was no place to keep the materials anymore. I thought about how sacred Dafa work is. Master protects us and I am not afraid of the evil at all, so I decided to keep the materials in my home.
In 2002, a practitioner was arrested by police who were sent to watch practitioners and he told the police my name. Then they took me to the police station. After that practitioner was arrested, Master enlightened me many times, but I had omissions and I did not realize it. I went to an extreme. The night before I was arrested, Master enlightened me again, and I hid all the Dafa books. But the police still took Master's photo, Fa-lecture audiotapes, and truth-clarifying materials. I was very sorry about that. The police asked me, “Where did you get the materials?” I said, “Someone left them at my door.” They asked again, “The government does not allow you to practice Falun Gong. Are your family members happy with you practicing Falun Gong?” I said, “I cultivate the divine Dafa. Nobody can interfere with me. I did not have a healthy body before. I spent a lot of money on medical treatments but none of them worked. I also did not have a good temper. After I started to practice Dafa, I had a healthy body and became even tempered. I have been able to do any work since then. My family members are very happy!” The police also wanted to pry information about other practitioners from me, but I held firm. In the end, they told me to sign and fingerprint the forms they had already prepared. I told them, “I will not betray Master and Dafa. I have made up my mind to cultivate the Fa until the end; I will never give up.” Finally they did not make me do anything.
When I was taken to the police station, I thought that, since I was already there, I should use the opportunity to speak the truth. Usually I could not find them, but now they were all gathered in one place. Master enlightened my boundless wisdom. I talked about the corruption of morality, comparing ancient times to the present. I talked about things from the city to the countryside. I told them, “Right now, morality is declining rapidly every day. Using you police as an example, you do not investigate the big, important cases, but only arrest good people who follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Isn't that right? Even though you have not been punished by human law, you will be punished by the law of heaven. If humankind's morality gets worse, there will be great catastrophes.”
That night, my son came to the police station and brought me dinner. He said, “Mother, if you can leave, you should do it. You can clarify the truth if you leave. You should not be here.” In the daytime, besides clarifying the truth, I sent forth righteous thoughts. After I sent forth righteous thoughts at midnight, I thought I should go. The three officers who were sent to watch me all fell asleep. I easily opened the two gates. The big iron gate did not even make a sound when I opened it. Under Master's protection, I left the police station. Later when my son heard what I had done, he said, “I have a great mother!” But I clearly knew that Master actually helped me. Without Master's help and protection, I could not do anything. Thanks again to Master!
Later I became homeless and destitute for about a year. Then the chief of the police station who knew the truth called my son, “It is OK now. Our superiors have stopped pursuing this case. Your mother can come back home.” So I went back to my hometown and kept clarifying the truth and persuading people to quit the CCP.
In the spring of 2009, I went to look for a former practitioner who had left Dafa. On my way back, I clarified the truth on a bus and a passenger reported me to the police. When I got off the bus, I was stopped by a police vehicle. Several officers got out and discovered it was me. One officer took out a pair of handcuffs and ran up to me. He said, “This time I need to handcuff you. I will not let you run away again. Last time you ran away and we were held responsible. We spent a lot of time looking for you, but we could not find you. We were criticized and fined.”
On the way to the police station, I looked inward sincerely and tried to find what omission I had that had been taken advantage of by the old forces. I was surprised to find that I did not have a calm mind when I studied the Fa and did exercises for the past two months just because I was attached to finding that former practitioner. I also did not have strong righteous thoughts and I got very emotional when I thought about this practitioner, thinking, “How come he stopped cultivating the Fa after millions of years of waiting?” There is nothing wrong in bringing back former practitioners, but the key is that we should not be attached to it. Master said,
“Cultivate, my disciples, ‘til no single omission is found,
And with the passing of all adversity,
will come the sweetness of true joy.” (“Cultivating Amidst the Delusion,” Hong Yin)
How could I save sentient beings well if I had such strong attachments? But meanwhile I thought, “I am Master's disciple and I can rectify myself within the Fa. I should not allow this evil to persecute me. I need to turn the persecution into a good opportunity to clarify the truth and save sentient beings.”
In the police station, I talked about how Dafa is practiced worldwide and how people are waking up. I talked about following heaven's will and withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations in order to have a good future for one's whole family. All the police officers were fascinated by what I said. Then one of them came over and unlocked my handcuffs and asked me to tell them more. They asked a lot of questions and urged me to talk more. I knew Master was strengthening me.
In a word, I understand that, as I cultivate, I walk this path because I firmly believe in Master and the Fa. When I see Dafa is still being slandered and sentient beings are still in pain and suffering as a result of the lies, I realize I should cultivate more diligently and grasp this precious time to save sentient beings. I clarify the truth to retired people, police, cadres, lawyers, teachers, students, the young and the old, and anyone else. I estimate that I have clarified the truth to over ten thousand people. On my path of cultivation in the future, I will cultivate more diligently, reach consummation, and follow Master home.
