(Minghui.org) I am a veteran practitioner who had attended two of Teacher’s lectures in my hometown. It was held in auditoriums, and had about 5,000 attendees.
After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong, our district was regarded by officials as a critical area. They transferred a model worker from the city police department to our district to serve as the station head and to deal with the “important mission” of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. I was arrested twice, and many fellow practitioners were persecuted because of his efforts.
I felt that we should not let such situations continue. Teacher said,
“Many high-level beings came to obtain the Fa and incarnated as human beings, and many are beings from different, faraway cosmic bodies. And actually, while Dafa disciples validate the Fa at this time, a lot more people were supposed to obtain the Fa, but for various reasons they were separated back then by the old forces, who wouldn't allow them to obtain the Fa. And during this persecution some beings have even sinned against Dafa--something they can never fully pay for--and now face elimination.” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Western U.S. Fa Conference”)
I strengthened my righteous thoughts by reviewing Teacher’s lectures. As a Dafa disciple, I have the responsibility of telling this station head the facts to prevent him from being deceived and committing huge crimes against Dafa. Someone told me that he had a good nature and was very filial, and I wanted to save him.
“With Teacher and the Fa by my side, I have nothing to fear. I just want to save him.” With this righteous thought, I went to the police station and met with him at noon one day, while he had me under surveillance.
At first, he was reluctant to talk with me. I frankly and straightforwardly told him, “I am here today for your eternal life.” I asked him, “Do you know why Jiang Zemin wanted to persecute us?” He said, “Why don’t you tell me?” I told him first about the incident in Tianjin City where the police arrested Falun Gong practitioners on April 24, 1999. I talked about He Zuoxiu and Luo Gan, and our going to the Appeals Office on April 25, as well as the staged self-immolations. I also talked about the fact that Dafa is being spread all around the world, and explained to him what kind of person Jiang Zemin is, and gave him a copy of “Jiang Zemin Revealed” for him to read, which he accepted.
I also told him, “You came to serve as the head of the station while the persecution is going on, and you blindly carried out orders. Do you know what happened to the chief of the Beijing Police Department after the Cultural Revolution? Although your name is not on the black list of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, your future will be just like those whose names are on the list on the day of reckoning. When people try you in public, your culpability will be there for all to see. The worst is that the ones who you persecute today are all good people who are on their path to becoming divine beings.”
He suddenly interrupted me and said, “You say there are divine beings, but why can I not see them?” I knew that he understood what I had said. I smiled and told him a story, “One day an earthworm asked the god, ‘I heard that there is a sun in the sky, so why don’t I see it?” The god told him, ‘To see the sun you need to be on top of the earth.’” I continued, “This story may not apply perfectly, but it has a point. To be able to see the divine, a person needs to elevate himself to the right level, and we are exactly the ones who are cultivating ourselves.”
At this point I reminded him again, “Now is the time for you to choose your future. Being good to practitioners is being good to yourself. If you are good to practitioners and help Dafa, you may have the chance to cultivate to become divine yourself.” We talked until closing time, which was almost four hours. His attitude changed completely. We became friends who could communicate freely. He accompanied me to the door, and said, “Please go and save the sentient beings.” I looked at him, and smiled, “Thank you, I will.”
On the way home, I thanked Teacher repeatedly in my mind. It was Teacher who saved him and his sentient beings. Teacher has arranged everything, and we just have to act. From that day on, the station head never again participated in the persecution of practitioners.
He was later transferred to the district office to do office work. I often mailed him truth-clarification materials, so that the message of the Buddha can always be in his mind.
