(Minghui.org) Another practitioner and I went to a neighboring city to distribute truth clarifying materials and were reported. We were arrested just as we’d finished distributing all the materials. We kept asking for Master’s help, sent forth righteous thoughts, and clarified the truth to the police. I was released in two days, while the other practitioner was detained for three days.
When the school learned about my arrest, the principal and school director visited me. I retired from the school over 10 years ago and had not met the new principal. I told him about Dafa and that I clarified the facts so that they could understand the truth and have a chance for a good future.
The principal responded, “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is just evil.” He reminded me that there were monitors outside the supermarkets, banks, and at street crossings. I thanked them.
The school secretary brought two community officials to my house. I treated them nicely and told them about Dafa and the self-immolation incident on Tiananmen Square and that those who persecute practitioners have been and will be punished by heaven. I urged them to distinguish between good and evil and not become the CCP’s scapegoats. We talked for over an hour. In the end, the community director said, “We won’t be scapegoats.”
The secretary added, “You can go out and do whatever you want, but be careful.” I thanked them and later helped the school secretary and one of the community officials quit the CCP and its youth organizations.
Because I went to the neighboring city to distribute Dafa materials, school officials told me to go to a meeting with people from the city education bureau. With belief in Master and Dafa, I have no fear and was thinking: “I have a hard time finding you guys to tell you the facts about Dafa, and sometimes you don’t want to listen. This is an opportunity for me to play the main role, a good opportunity to save sentient beings. I must do it well.” I sent forth righteous thoughts, dressed nicely, asked for Master’s support, and then went to the school.
Several leaders were there, including one from the education bureau. A few practitioners from our school also came. The principal began with an introduction and then asked me to speak. I said, “I thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk to you all. Falun Dafa is a great Way of the Buddha school. It teaches people to follow Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance to be a good person. One is required to think of others at all times. It has miraculous healing powers. We spend our own money and risk being persecuted to let people know how wonderful Dafa is and the truth about it. We hope people can be rewarded and have a bright future.”
I talked about the Tiananmen Square self-immolation and about my changes after I became a practitioner. I said, “Some of the leaders here know that I was in poor health before practicing Dafa. I had migraines, obstructive anemia, thrombocytopenia, and a very low hemoglobin count. I was a frequent visitor to the hospital. I had a bad temper and my nickname at school was ‘Tiger.’
“Since I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, I haven’t taken any medicine, never had an injection, and haven’t even put on a plaster. I recovered from all my ailments. I got my temper under control. It was Falun Dafa that changed me, purified my mind, and gave me a healthy body.
“Millions of people from all different professions practice Falun Dafa. I met many practitioners when I went to appeal for Falun Dafa in 1999: There were corporate executives, nuclear scientists, heroes from the Sino-Vietnamese war, and university professors. They’d all benefited from Dafa and its profound principles. They went to Beijing just to say, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good’ and let the authorities know it was wrong to persecute it.”
At this point, a leader interjected, saying, “Why do you oppose the Party?”
“Falun Dafa practitioners are unarmed, have no weapons or power, and don’t make enemies,” I replied. “They only save people. We are just a group of practitioners who know that the CCP’s power is exhausted and that heaven will destroy it. We encourage everyone to stay away from it and choose a better future for themselves. Where there are Dafa practitioners, there will be hope for people to be saved! I hope everyone chooses a better future.”
Two other practitioners added some comments, and the meeting ended with the leader from the education bureau leaving with a smile.
An elderly practitioner at school kept a lot of consumables at home to make Dafa materials and her neighbors reported her. The police found the school leaders and told them to go to the practitioner’s home. The school leader said. “She is so old, what if she gets scared and hurts herself? We can’t afford that. We won’t go.”
The chairman of the school trade union called the practitioner in advance and said, “Clean up your house. You know what I mean.” This was because the practitioner had clarified the truth to him before. Officers from the police station would not give up and drove to the school a second time, ordering the school to cooperate with them to raid the practitioner’s home.
The school leader responded, “We have children to teach and meetings to hold. We can’t go.” The school leaders resisted with righteous thoughts, and the matter was settled with no further action.
Given Master’s compassionate protection, Dafa practitioners in our school have been able to cooperate as a whole until today. After going through all sorts of trials and tribulations, we know that Master is always by our side, giving us righteous thoughts, wisdom, courage, strength, and confidence when we are in danger, holding our hands, and moving us forward step by step. We must cherish the time Master has extended for us through his enormous endurance. We must cherish every step we take, do the three things well, fulfill our vows, and go home with Master!
Thank you, Master! Thank you, fellow practitioners!
