(Minghui.org) I met Xiaoxia when I was arrested and held in a detention center in October 2006. She looked miserable while she went through drug withdrawal; her face was pale and twitched, and her body shook. Xiaoxia told me that her body felt extremely itchy, as if bugs were biting her and crawling all over her skin.
I felt bad seeing her this way. She told me she was arrested because of theft. She met another practitioner in a previous detention center who also told her about Falun Dafa. She began memorizing the Fa and doing the exercises. She wanted to learn more about Dafa and the five exercises, and asked if I would teach her.
I was delighted. I taught her to memorize Master’s poem in Hong Yin:
“One who is for fame resents till death,One who is for gain disavows family;One who is for sentiment brings vexation on himself,Bitterly fighting each other, making karma over a lifetime.
Not seeking fame, enjoying leisure, feeling content,Not stressing gain, a benevolent righteous person;Not moved by sentiment, clear-headed with few desires,With benevolence, cultivating oneself, accruing virtue over a lifetime.” (“Being a Human,” Hong Yin)
I told her that “This poem by Master Li Hongzhi, our Teacher, tells us how to be a good person. We should not take fame, wealth or emotion too seriously. We must remember that if something is ours, no one can take it away; if something is not ours, don’t force it by any means. Xiaoxia, stay away from drugs after you leave here. It harms your body and your family.” She understood and was able to memorize many poems and do the exercises with me. Soon, she no longer craved drugs.
Several days later, a prison doctor came and asked whether there were any Falun Dafa practitioners here. I replied that I was a practitioner. After examining Xiaoxia the doctor told her to continue practicing Falun Dafa with me and she would be better and healthier each day! She even said, “Falun Dafa spreads positive energy; you should take what you have learned to heart, and when you leave here be a good person.”
I was stunned by the righteous words spoken by this prison doctor! How many practitioners witnessed this! Xiaoxia told the doctor that she indeed continued to exercise with me and since then, her physical discomfort disappeared! She told the doctor, “Falun Dafa is truly amazing!”
After the other detainees witnessed Xiaoxia’s success in overcoming addiction, I was able to help everyone quit the Chinese Communist Party and it’s organizations. I also shared stories about traditional culture and the blessings that come from sincerely reciting the auspicious phrases, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
As I looked at these people who now understood the truth, I was deeply moved by Master’s boundless compassion, and at the same time, I clearly understood a Dafa disciple’s mission.
