(Minghui.org) I am a 57-year-old Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) practitioner, who obtained the Fa in 1999. With the protection of Master, I have been cultivating for 23 years. I would like to share a few touching incidents that I have experienced to show Master's compassion and the power of Dafa.
Xiaomei: Falun Dafa Is Truly Amazing
Xiaomei is my sister-in-law, who works in a hospital. She was stubborn and deeply poisoned by the Chinese Communist party’s (CCP) propaganda. However, after she survived a severe illness, she would frequently recite the two auspicious Falun Dafa phrases: “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good.”
I went to visit her one night after dinner. I saw the prepared food on the table, but didn’t see Xiaomei. She answered me from the bathroom, telling me that her stomach hurt.
I was watching her son doing his homework when she suddenly shouted towards her husband, “Call the emergency number, I’m suffering from penicillin allergy symptoms.” We rushed to the bathroom and found that her hands and feet were very cold. She slipped down to the floor and began to lose consciousness.
My brother shook her and recited into her ears, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good”, and asked Master Li to save her. Xiaomei tried to keep herself conscious, and recited the same words. Then, she added, “Master Li, please save me!”
Her son also rushed over to her, crying and shouting the two auspicious Dafa phrases. He said, “I beg Master Li to save my mother.” My brother comforted her and said, “Don’t be afraid, my sister is a Falun Dafa practitioner, and she is helping us recite the Dafa phrases.”
Our family members surrounded Xiaomei and also recited the Dafa phrases. By the time the ambulance arrived, Xiaomei had gotten through the dangerous period. Doctors at the hospital didn’t find anything wrong with her.
Xiaomei told me the next day that she had almost died. She survived only by reciting the Dafa phrases. She said, “I felt very cold and sensed that I was slowly getting farther away from you. I gradually came back after you recited the phrases towards me and asked me to recite them with you. My hands were cold, but after you held my hands, I felt warmth from your hands flowing into my hands⸺yours were so warm.”
In the past, Xiaomei’s husband and son had experienced the power of Dafa, and when they told me about the amazing things that happened, Xiaomei always smiled and said that they were true. However, when I asked her to recite the two phrases, she only gave me a perfunctory nod.
This time, however, after she experienced the protection of Falun Dafa firsthand, Xiaomei exclaimed, “Falun Dafa is really amazing.” She said, “I can’t imagine what would have happened to my little son if I had died last night. How could my family survive without me? I really thank Master Li for saving me, Falun Dafa is truly great!”
Suspect in the Detention Center: I’ll Give the Most Precious Thing to My Son
I was taken to the detention center by National Security police officers in 2008 because one of the practitioners’ phones was being monitored. My number was recorded on the other practitioner's phone. The cell head was a murderer who was in her 20s. Her face was a little puffy, but she was unusually energetic. I will call her by the pseudonym Chunhua in this article to protect her identity.
Chunhua became very excited as soon as she saw me. She asked me for my name and said proudly, “I knew you were coming. When I took a nap today, I was frightened in my dream by a square-headed man who approached me and asked if you had arrived yet. I was not sure as I didn’t hear your name clearly at the time.” Hearing that, I knew that she might have some supernatural abilities. She asked me what had brought me to the detention center. I didn’t really know at the time, but I told her that I might have been arrested because I practiced Falun Gong. I told her the facts about Falun Gong, and she agreed with what I told her.
After talking with her, I learned that her husband was a scoundrel who lived with another woman, and she had conceived his child. She killed her husband, and then tried to commit suicide, but failed. I learned from the conversation that she didn’t have a desire to live any longer. The only thing she couldn’t let go of in this world was her seven-year-old son.
I kept sending righteous thoughts, doing the exercises, and reciting the Fa. Chunhua was very interested in what I was doing. On the second morning in the detention center, when I opened my eyes after sending righteous thoughts, I found her sitting cross-legged on the bunk with a smile on her face, imitating my lotus palm posture. I stopped her when I saw she was not being serious. However, she told me seriously, “I’ll practice Falun Gong. This posture is very beautiful. It’s like the one from a Bodhisattva.”
She said, “When I woke up from my dream last night, I could clearly see you sitting there doing the meditation exercises, and a white gauze-like light was covering your hands.” I told her that I was sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings, not practicing the meditation. I told her that she didn’t need to do that, all she needed to do was to recite the two auspicious Dafa phrases, and learn how to do the exercises with me. She said happily, “This helps. My husband came into my dream last night and didn’t dare approach me.” For two days in a row, she was very happy.
On the third day, Chunhua saw that I didn’t get what she said, so she told me directly that her husband used to come to sleep with her every night. She was very happy at first, but soon her health deteriorated. She knew that he was there to take her life, but she was helpless, and her lust was getting stronger. Upon hearing that, I was taken aback and told her that humans and ghosts shouldn’t do that. I told her to always recite “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good,” and asked Master Li to save her.
Chunhua had a good inborn quality and recited Hong Yin with me every day, and sang “Falun Dafa is Good,” “Falun Sage King,” “Dedu,” and other songs composed by Dafa practitioners. In the past, she had a strong desire for death and had tried to commit suicide several times. She had been taken to hospital emergency rooms. She had tried committing suicide in the several detention centers where she'd been held. Now she has given up the thought of suicide.
Chunhua attended school for only one or two years, but she was smart and learned some words by playing with her cell phone. She asked the detention center director for a notebook and a pen, saying that she wanted to study, and wanted me to teach her to write a diary. The director was pleased to hear that, thinking that it would divert her attention away from thinking about committing suicide. Apart from what she asked, Chunhua also got a large blackboard, and some chalk to practice writing.
I wrote "Fa Rectifies the Cosmos" on the door of the courtyard and "Mercey can melt heaven and earth into spring" and “Righteous thought can save people of the world” (“Fa Rectifies the Cosmos” in Hong Yin II) on the door frame. She recited them every day. One day, I found that she had neatly copied “Mercy can melt heaven and earth into spring” and “Righteous thought can save people of the world” in the middle two rows of the first page of her diary. I was surprised and asked her, “What made you dare to write it in the diary?” She said proudly, “Look, I put it in the middle of the two diaries, but the words are a little larger, so the bad guys won’t notice it. I will meet my son after I am sentenced to prison, and I will give him the diary, and he will learn Dafa. I want to give my son the most precious thing!”
Chunhua kept being rewarded because of her belief in Falun Dafa. She told me one day that the local police officers had coordinated with her mother-in-law’s family and finally agreed to allow her son to spend summer vacation at her mother’s house, so that her mother could bring her son to see her in the detention center. The captain of the crime squad was her brother’s friend and he would come to visit her once in a while, for her family still worried that she might commit suicide. Chunhua told the captain that she was doing well, writing a diary every day. She even recited to him the poem “Being a Human” in Hong Yin. Chunhua told him that she befriended a Falun Gong practitioner, and the captain said that he was relieved.
Chunhua told me that the local police officers knew that Falun Gong is good. A week before I left the detention center, Chunhua told me that her lawyer told her that her prison term was estimated to be 8 to 14 years, which can be reduced if her performance is good, which was far better than what Chunhua had imagined. She kept reciting “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good”, and she almost did it during her sleep. When I was leaving, Chunhua took my hand and was reluctant to let me go.
The officers in the detention center viewed Falun Gong in a positive light after they witnessed the changes in Chunhua.
Police Officer: Nothing Is More Important Than Falun Gong
In order to rescue an imprisoned practitioner, several practitioners in our area rented a car and drove to a remote mountainous area to clarify the truth to people who had given false testimony that resulted in the practitioner being sent to prison. Because of our attachment, the family reported us to the police. An officer arrived at about 4 p.m. and forced us to follow him to the office in our car. We clarified the truth to him and agreed to drive to the township government.
Later, we learned that the officer had notified the township police station, and the police station had reported to the county police department, so we were detained. Because it was the weekend, only one officer was on duty in the police station and one woman was on duty in the township government. We heard that the on-duty officer had asked the woman in the township government to help watch us, saying that we were all women and it was inconvenient for him. But the woman refused, saying that it had nothing to do with her. The imprisoned practitioner’s family hired a lawyer for us, so we sat up straight in the police station, sending forth righteous thoughts.
As it was getting dark, the deputy head of the police station came with a few officers. We gave them some legal documents to prove we were innocent, including the Constitution, the Criminal Law, the 2000 No. 39 Document that showed that Falun Gong was not among the 14 cults that the government listed, the statements the lawyers made when they defended Falun Gong practitioners at different courts, and the testimonial defense statements made by the families of practitioners who had been persecuted. At the same time, we clarified the truth to them and sent forth righteous thoughts. The police station was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
During the conversation, these officers understood the truth. They told us to wait, that police officers from the county national security team were on their way. They arrived at about 8 p.m. while I was sitting on the sofa and sending forth righteous thoughts. The national security team captain shouted at me upon entering the police station, “It’s you again!” He fiercely asked us for our names and phone numbers, and said he wanted to check our car to see if there were any Falun Gong materials.
I said, “You, the national security team, know well all our information, as you have been monitoring us for a long time.” The other practitioners raised the materials in their hands, saying, “All the materials we brought are here.” Just as we had done before, we gave the materials to the officers who just arrived, and each got a copy of the case-related materials. We told them we were there to learn the facts about the persecuted practitioner. We also told them that the prosecutors and law enforcement officers had been violating the law, and we had hired lawyers to defend the persecuted practitioner. The captain didn’t accept the materials, but he said in a calm tone that they just came to help and he wasn’t treating it as a criminal case. That was why they all came in civilian clothes, not in police uniform. But he still had to record the number of the materials we brought.
We kept clarifying the truth to them, and they listened. They returned the materials. We were about to drive home when the captain realized that we were not familiar with the road conditions. He said that the mountain roads were dangerous at night, and if something went wrong, it would be terrible. He asked his driver to drive in front of our car, while he and another officer drove our car.
As we drove, fog started rising and covering the mountain. We learned that the captain’s vision was not very good, but he was still willing to help us. We were moved by his kindness and expressed our gratitude to him. On the way we talked like friends. After the captain asked us some questions about Falun Gong that he didn’t understand, he said sincerely, “We know the high character of Falun Gong practitioners, and that Falun Gong is here to save all sentient beings.”
