(Minghui.org) I joined the army in 1998 and I was assigned to work in a prison as an armed police officer. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Gong, we were lied to. Many police officers were ordered to “crack down” on Falun Gong, and higher-ups told them that practitioners were, "rioting, vandalizing government departments, and many people were injured..."
I was among those who remained at the prison. I knew nothing about Falun Gong at that time.
Soon, many new prisoners arrived. The old prisoners were encouraged to beat these new prisoners. One day when I was on duty, I saw several old prisoners taking the clothes off of a new prisoner. He had been beaten so hard that his chest was all bruised and lacerated and he was dying. I shouted at them to stop.
One day, I noticed a fellow officer reading a Falun Gong book. Curious, I read it with him and I was very interested in it. When a team leader saw us, he grabbed the book and threw it away. This was the first time I learned about what Falun Gong was.
After I retired from the armed police force, I learned that those new prisoners were actually Falun Gong practitioners.
In 2006, my business partner helped me get started in learning Falun Gong. But I had so many attachments that I did not cultivate diligently. I did not truly begin practicing until the the summer of 2008.
Changing My Bad Temper
I had a very bad temper. Before I began practicing, I did not treat my wife or other people well, and my family was falling apart.
After I started cultivating, my temper gradually changed and I learned to be considerate of others. My family members noticed my changes, and the atmosphere at home improved. At the beginning, my older sister did not understand why I practiced. Now she tells her son to learn Falun Gong with me. She said, "Since your uncle began practicing Falun Gong, his temper and appearance have improved. You should learn from him!"
My father was a member of the CCP. He very stubbornly clung to his position. At the beginning when I tried to tell him the truth about Falun Gong, he fought and argued with me. He did not believe me at all.
Through Fa study, I realized that I treated my father as a family member, but not a person to be saved. I did not pay attention to sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements behind him. I continued to tell him the truth while improving myself. I lived with my father and I talked to him about this whenever I had the chance. Finally he saw how evil the CCP is and he renounced his membership to the Party through the Epoch Times website.
My mother told me that she recited "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" every day. Three of my four sisters renounced the CCP, so did my three nephews and a nephew's wife.
Telling People in Remote Areas the Facts of Falun Gong
I live in a remote area. Very seldom do practitioners come here and not many people in this area heard the truth about Falun Gong. I have been posting messages in public places to tell people Falun Gong is good. Some of the signs stayed up more than three years.
I set up a material production site at my home. I made the materials about Falun Gong and then distributed them to every family in our area. While validating the Fa, I have eliminated many of my attachments.
Once I walked by a place where there were many slogans slandering Falun Gong on the walls. I felt very bad and wanted to remove them. Since that place was far from my home, I thought I could leave it to local practitioners. But on second thought, I realized all practitioners are one body and we need to coordinate with each other.
I printed many booklets and prepared several bottles of paint to cover up the slanderous signs. I planned to go there the next day. But that night my wife received a phone call. Her brother died and we needed to go to help with the funeral. It put me in a hard situation. I asked Master to strengthen my righteous thoughts.
I thought: I am a Dafa practitioner. I should go to erase those bad signs. Meanwhile I should help my wife's family as well.
We arrived at my in-law's home. As soon as it got dark, I got on my motorbike and headed to that town.
I kept sending righteous thoughts and eliminating the evil in all dimensions. It was night when I arrived. I tried to use spray paint paint to cover those words, but they were huge and I did not have enough paint to cover all of them. Since I could not cover them all, I spray-painted some messages clarifying the truth next to those signs. After that I distributed my printouts to the houses in that area.
It was nearly midnight when I returned to my in-law's home. I rode more than 250 kilometers on unfamiliar roads. With Master's help, it went smoothly.
Protected from Danger
Last year, I was driving during a heavy rainstorm. I lost control and the wheels were lifted from the ground. I stepped on the brakes and shouted: "Master please help me!"
My car whirled around several times and stopped next to the curb. The moment my car stopped, another car zoomed by in front of me, scratching the paint from the front of my car. It would have been a really bad accident if Master had not protected me.
Another time, I was repairing electric outlets. I thought I shut off the electricity and I was trying to twist a screw by hand. I could not get it loose, and then I asked my wife to bring me a screwdriver. When the screwdriver touched the screw, there was a loud "bang" and a cluster of sparks. The electricity was not turned off! Again Master protected me!
Many miracles happened to me. For example, sometimes when I had a very clear, calm mind when printing leaflets, the number of pieces of paper I grabbed and put into the printer was exactly the number I wanted to print.
Improving Myself While Clarifying the Truth
This year, I often distributed leaflets or put up posters about the truth of Falun Gong in my neighborhood. I also printed messages about Falun Gong and the persecution on a large amount of paper bills. In the beginning, I was the only one who used this money. Later my whole family began using it. I used it in my business too. I went from using several hundred yuan to up to tens of thousands of yuan of this “truth money.”
During the process clarifying the truth and saving people, I have been eliminating my attachments such as fear, zealotry, mentality of doing things, and laziness.
When I distributed materials the very first time, it was evening. After I put up a poster, I saw someone coming. Even though he was very far away, I was so frightened that I hid in a ditch. At that time I was afraid of seeing people I know and thought I would be embarrassed. Now I can openly talk to villagers in my area about quitting the CCP, face to face.
Sometime ago, a neighboring district put up many propaganda posters slandering Falun Gong, which were protected by a 2 meter high glass box. I felt great urgency. After talking with another practitioner, I bought spray paint and wrote truth-clarification messages on the glass. By the next morning what I wrote had been cleaned off, and their posters could still be seen.
I calmed down and looked inward. I saw that I was angry because the evil slandered Falun Gong. I was not thinking of eliminating evil, protecting Dafa, and saving sentient beings. When I enlightened to this, I discussed it with the other practitioner. Later, I made a large number of posters and glued them to the light posts around the glass box.
The practitioner suggested that we pick the lock and destroy those posters inside the box. We chose a rainy night. There were some people around the box, and a person was watching us from the second floor window of a building. I told the practitioner to send righteous thoughts, then we pried the lock. I reached inside and sliced through the posters with a knife. The next morning I saw that all the evil posters had been taken away.
I knew we did this correctly. Master helped us to eliminate the evil in other dimensions, so the evil on the surface dissolved too.
This is my understanding at my limited cultivation level. Please kindly point out my shortcomings.
