(Minghui.org) I brought printed copies of The Ultimate Goal of Communism to a fellow practitioner for binding on the evening of June 2, 2018. Just as I was about to leave, a neighbor arrived and told us that the police had been monitoring the practitioner's parents and sister (also practitioners) for four days. They planned to arrest them at night.
I was surprised to hear this and hurried home. I wondered what went wrong to cause this tribulation? It would be a big issue if they were arrested because it could involve other practitioners, including me. I wanted to hide the Dafa materials but did not know where. I was anxious and walked to the window to calm myself.
I said to Master Li Hongzhi in my mind: “Master, my life was given by you. All of the materials and equipment are magical tools to help save people. They should not be confiscated by the police and become evidence they can use to prosecute me. Please arrange everything. I am not hiding anything.”
I recited Master's poem “What’s to Fear?” in Hong Yin Vol. II:
“Should you have fear,it will seize upon youIf thoughts are righteous,evil will collapseThe cultivator’s mindis loaded with FaSend righteous thoughts,and rotten demons explodeGods walk the earth,validating the Fa”
I sent righteous thoughts and felt a strong energy field. I knew everything would be all right. I continued sending righteous thoughts without stopping all night. In the morning, the practitioner came by to say that everything was okay. I knew Master had resolved the problem.
I started to vomit and have diarrhea shortly afterward and dared not eat anything. I felt very weak. By the afternoon, I started to itch and discovered I had a rash. It spread all over, and my body became swollen. It felt like there was a thick shell covering my body.
Suddenly, a voice said to me, “Illness, affection, and die.” I did not quite understand what it meant, so I said to Master, “I will let go of affection for fellow practitioners.”
The voice then said, “When your main soul goes out, do not stay at any dimension for too long. Do come back.”
I felt something was wrong and said to Master, “Master, I will not let my main soul go out because I want to follow you when the Fa-rectification concludes. I am not going anywhere!”
I then felt out of breath, so I quickly asked Master to save me. After a while, my breathing returned to normal. I sat up and was grateful for Master’s help.
When I was about to send righteous thoughts at eight o’clock in the evening, the voice said to me that this was a big issue. I immediately appealed to Master, “I know we must pass the test of our belief in Master and the Fa in the final stage. I believe in you 100 percent. I am not afraid. I am a sacred being created by the Fa.”
Afterward, there was a sharp pain in my chest and then in my back. It got really bad. Writhing in pain, I again asked for Master’s help. The pain eased by four in the morning, and I realized I had passed this tribulation. The pain was gone by five .
Although I didn't sleep all night and felt exhausted, I got up to send righteous thoughts at six o’clock. I then ate a light meal and slept. I got up at noon and continued to send righteous thoughts.
Master said:
“Even now some people still can’t concentrate when it comes to reading the books. Those of you who do work for Dafa, especially, shouldn’t use any pretexts to conceal your not reading the books or studying the Fa. Even if you do work for me, your Master, you still need to study the Fa every day with a calm mind and cultivate yourself solidly.” (“Towards Consummation,” Essentials for Further Advancement II)
“Pay attention: no matter how busy you are, you cannot neglect Fa-study.” (“To All Students at the Nordic Fa Conference,” Essentials for Further Advancement II)
These words came into my mind, and I continued to study the teachings.
That night, I had insomnia. My arm was so swollen that I couldn't straighten my hand. I said, “Even if I can't lift my hand, I can still send righteous thoughts and eliminate all evil elements.” Afterward, I saw two beams of light hit my right arm. In the morning, I could move my arm again.
A fellow practitioner visited that day to give me a solemn letter of declaration and a list of names to submit to Minghui.org. She wanted to send righteous thoughts for me when she saw my situation. I told her I would be fine because Master and righteous gods were protecting me. I slowly typed all the names with my swollen fingers and sent them to Minghui.
On the third day, I told myself that I should not stay in bed and treat myself like a patient. I felt weak and my legs couldn't support me. My face was misshapen. I asked for Master’s help and tried my best to walk normally. I read the four books of Hong Yin in the three days that my condition was at its worst. I continued to send righteous thoughts and study the Fa every day. Everything was back to normal in 10 days.
I looked inward and found the attachment of showing off. I hadn't had any big tribulations during recent years, so I thought it was because of my strong righteous thoughts. I grew complacent and stopped paying attention to safety. I learned a big lesson from this tribulation.
