(Minghui.org) Greetings esteemed Master and fellow practitioners!
My wife and I are farmers. We have negated the evil and defended Falun Dafa without hesitation since the persecution began on July 20, 1999. We have produced and distributed Dafa informational materials, as well as put up posters.
We have encountered numerous hardships, but given Master's protection we have overcome every tribulation that we have faced.
Witnessing Dafa's Extraordinary Power
My wife started practicing Falun Dafa in the fall of 1996. All of the chronic diseases that had plagued her for decades disappeared within half a month of her becoming a Falun Dafa practitioner.
Witnessing the extraordinary power of Dafa and her big changes, I also became a practitioner in 1998.
As a practitioner, I follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and became a good and considerate person. I do not haggle, treat people kindly, and forbear during times of conflict.
Escaping Through a Corn Field
Because we went to Beijing to peacefully protest for justice for Dafa many times, we were illegally detained many times.
My wife was working in our field in the fall of 2002, when our village cadre asked her to meet with government agents who were known to persecute Falun Dafa.
“I will not go with you,” my wife said, “because it is not wrong to be a cultivator and a good person. If you force me, I would rather die than be 'transformed'.”
“You should get away quickly,” the village cadre responded. “They will come for you soon. The corn field is the best escape route.”
My wife thanked him and said, “You accumulated virtue because you let me go today. You will have a bright future.”
It was the end of the harvest season. Most corn stalks were cut and the fields were open except for one small corn field to the South. It was almost impossible to enter the field from the North because the dense rows of corn were planted in an east-west direction.
My wife shouted, “Master, how do I get through the field?”
At that critical moment the corn stalks turned into a north-south bound path for her to go through.
The extraordinary power of Dafa will display itself if the practitioner believes in Master and the Fa without reservation.
Escaping from the Detention Center
Not long after my wife escaped, police officers were ordered by the local 610 Office to break into my home. They arrested me, ransacked my home, and confiscated Master's photo and many Dafa books and informational materials.
I was brutally beaten by the officers for not meeting their unlawful demands. I passed out when a policeman kicked me in the temple. When I regained consciousness, I found myself detained, with my arms handcuffed behind my back.
I sent forth righteous thoughts nonstop to eliminate the evil factors manipulating police. I also looked inwards for the reasons why I was persecuted. I realized that I had relied on Master and Dafa for protection just because I was a Dafa practitioner, not because I strongly believed in Master and the Fa. I also found the attachment of zealotry and becoming overjoyed when I faced no problems when talking to people about Dafa. I immediately eliminated these attachments.
Officers tied me to a chair and I was brutally beaten. I sent firm righteous thoughts to stop their evil act.
“I am Master's disciple,” I said in my mind. “Master does not accept the old forces' arrangement and the persecution. Nor do I. Please eliminate those evils and let these policemen suffer the pain instead.”
The police suddenly screamed in pain, while I felt none.
I was then taken to a brainwashing center, where eleven people were assigned to monitor me.
In order to try to “transform” me, they claimed that the peaceful April 25 protest was a violent act. They also accused practitioners of attacking police officers. I challenged them, as it was impossible for unarmed practitioners to overpower armed police who guarded Zhongnanhai.
One week later, I sent righteous thoughts to make the monitors fall sleep. I then climbed over the wall and fled.
Miracle at Information Site
My wife and I were involved in producing Dafa informational materials for four years. We also delivered the materials to fellow practitioners in surrounding villages.
We were busy validating Dafa, studying the Fa, and sending righteous thoughts. My wife sometimes sent righteous thoughts as many as 18 times a day. Although we did have financial difficulties, our lives were rich and our minds pure.
The extraordinary power of Dafa showed itself during that time. My wife rose up in the air while doing the meditation twice. She felt a strong force pulling her up. She also once clearly saw a bright column rising to the sky from a lotus hand sign. The column was surrounded by colorful lotus flowers. Master was encouraging us.
While we were strengthened by Master and continuously cultivated to improve our xinxing, we also faced interference. Master helped us when we were within the Fa.
Landlord: You Are Good People
We rented three rooms for the Dafa material production site. One time, after midnight, we heard a noise coming from the landlord's residence next door. The noise grew louder, and it appeared that a thief was trying to pry open a window.
A fellow practitioner suggested that we climb over the wall and stop the crime, but my wife and I disagreed. We felt it might be interference affecting our production site. We should first send righteous thoughts.
We removed all equipment and supplies the next morning. After the landlord heard about the attempted break in, he thanked us for watching the house.
Surrounded by Police
A local coordinator invited us and four practitioners to a lakeside for experience sharing. Three of them went there by motorcycle, while my wife and I walked.
A few minutes into the gathering, several police officers started walking toward us. The coordinator quickly hopped on his motorcycle and rode away. Two practitioners were arrested while running away from the site, and the police surrounded my wife and me.
We sent righteous thoughts with the firm belief that the police could not arrest us.Constrained by our righteous thoughts, the officers made an opening for us to go through. We walked away from the site without a problem.
Energy Brings Warmth
My wife wore summer shoes when she fled our home to avoid being arrested. One cold winter day she was delivering informational materials to practitioners in surrounding villages. It was unbearably cold and the shoes could not keep her feet warm.
She remembered what Master had said:
“This is what I'd think: 'You're cold, and you try to make me cold--are you trying to make me freeze? I'll be even colder than you, I'll make you cold.'” (Fa-Lecture During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference)
My wife soon felt energy flowing through her body. She immediately felt warm, as if she was wearing a heavy cotton coat and warm shoes. She deeply believes that Master always protects us as long as we are grounded in the Fa.
Falun Guides Us to Our Destination
One foggy winter morning, I had to deliver materials to a fellow practitioner. The ground was covered with snow. Despite slippery roads and low visibility, I got on my motorcycle.
As I got close to the village, I got lost. Suddenly, a large colorful Falun spun in front of me. I followed the Falun, which led me to this practitioner's house.
Tornado Changes Course
When I rode one day on rural paths to deliver materials, a strong wind suddenly came up and sucked up yellow soil into a funnel, spinning in front of my motorcycle. It was moving straight for me.
I immediately realized that it was the evil in other dimensions trying to interfere with my delivery. I sent forth righteous thoughts and the funnel changed direction.
As long as we believe in Master and the Fa, no one and nothing can harm us.
