(Minghui.org) Three police officers came to my home in June 2020. They wanted to get into the room where I prepared Falun Dafa informational materials. I also have a photo of Master on the wall, which they could see from the outside. I could not let them enter the room. I said it was my right of privacy, and I would never let them get into that room. They were going to pry open the lock, but I walked between them and the door, and stopped them from getting close.
I sent forth righteous thoughts and asked Master for help. Suddenly I thought of Master’s poem, “What's There to Fear” in Hong Yin II, and pulled myself together instantly. I said, “Before I practiced Falun Dafa, I suffered from severe hypertension and a heart condition, and my life was at risk. Since I cultivated in Dafa I recovered from all my illnesses, and I have not taken any medication in 20 years. Master gave me a second life. As long as I am alive, don’t try to open that door. I will not let Master’s photo be damaged in any way.”
Facing the Police with Confidence
After they realized they could not open the door, they told me to follow them to the police station. I agreed. My daughter-in-law told them, “You guys are responsible if her heart problem comes back.”
At the station, two of the officers left for lunch. The officer on duty asked the one who brought me in, “Why did you arrest her? What's the issue?” The one who brought me in said, “We told her to come,” and then said to me, “Why don’t you do your exercises and stop telling us how bad Jiang Zemin is. We all know it.”
I sat down and sent forth righteous thoughts. The officer on duty told me that one of the officers who went to lunch was the deputy chief, and if I said some good things to him, he might let me go home. I thought it was a good opportunity to clarify the truth to him.
When the deputy chief officer returned, I began to tell him why I wanted to cultivate Falun Dafa. He brought me some food and water and asked me to eat first. I said I was not hungry. He asked me to call home and ask someone to come get me. I said, “I’ll go home by myself.” He said, “We are going to your area again at four p.m. Why don’t you wait, and we will take you home.” I said, “It’s okay. I will just go out and get a ride with someone from our village.” He said, “That is fine.”
An incident that sounded aggressive and threatening was quietly resolved given Master’s protection.
Dealing Effectively with the Police
We got a new police chief in September 2020. He came to my home with two other officers, and they all looked rather threatening, like they intended to ransack my home. I asked Master for help and sent forth righteous thoughts.
He looked around and turned to the room where I had Master’s photo. He asked me, “You still enshrine the photo?” I said yes. He said, “Open the door and let’s see it.” I said, “It is my right to privacy and freedom of belief. I cannot open the door to show it to you.” He said in a somewhat relaxed tone, “We will not touch it. We will just take a look.”
I said, “You have to promise three things. The first is that you cannot damage the photo, the second is that you cannot take it, and the third is that you cannot arrest me.” They said with a smile, “We promise.”
After I opened the door, not only did they not do any harm, they suggested that I improve it by not using nails for the photo, and just let it sit on the table. They helped me take it down and set it on the table below. Then they left satisfied.
Two young agents came to my home in June 2021. They asked me if I still cultivated in Falun Dafa. I said, “It is my business if I cultivate in Falun Dafa. Some people cannot do it even if they want to.” They said, “Just do it at home, and don’t make trouble outside.” I said, “I became healthy by practicing. Isn’t it good?” They then went in the room and took a look at Master’s photo, and left happily.
Fear and Other Attachments Needed to be Eliminated
I wondered why the police kept coming to my home. It must be my attachments. I calmed down and looked within myself. I found many attachments, including showing off, zealotry, combativeness, resentment, and the worst of all, fear.
I recalled the first time I returned home from the police station, I was truly fearful. I thought if they came to look at the room, it would be bad when they saw the many things I had inside there. I was so worried that I stopped making truth-clarification materials for a few weeks. Master said one should not stay down when one falls. I was okay with Master’s protection. Why did I stay down, even though I had not fallen?
I found it was due to my fear, which was arranged by the old forces. After digging deeper into it, I realized that I did not believe 100 percent in Master and Dafa. Why do I still have fear with Master and Dafa around?
I found the thought of “what if” to be something that the old forces use to confuse practitioners. You will be on a path that they arranged when you are not very clear minded. Master continued to emphasize that practitioners need to study the Fa more. Without the support of Dafa, we cannot do anything.
After I realized these things, the heavy rock that was pressing on me was removed, and my whole body became relaxed. I retrieved all my printing equipment and restored my Dafa materials printing operation. Yet, I still have many attachments to eliminate.
