(Minghui.org) I’m 61 years old and have been practicing Falun Dafa for 11 years. I was previously in poor health and suffered from many illnesses. I looked pale, thin, and lifeless. I was also introverted and had difficulty speaking up. After I started practicing Dafa, Master purified my body and removed many bad substances from me. I became illness-free and full of energy.
When I visited my hometown, people remarked that I looked much younger. In addition, my personality completely changed; I had become strong, optimistic, and open-minded. I was no longer as selfish as I had been before.
I gained confidence and developed righteous thoughts through studying the Fa and cultivating my mind. Master opened up my wisdom, and I learned how to use a computer and printer. I even started a small Dafa materials production site at my home, fulfilling a long-cherished wish. I’ve been walking steadily on the path of validating the Fa ever since.
In 2023, after sending forth righteous thoughts, I put various truth-clarification materials into my backpack as usual and headed out to clarify the truth. As I approached my electric bike, I noticed someone sitting on it and two others standing at the entrance to the residential complex. One man and one woman were young, while another man was slightly older. The older man called my name and asked, “Is this bike yours?” I didn’t respond. Their voices grew louder and more aggressive. I felt anxious and my fear surfaced. They said, “We’re from the police station. You need to come with us. We have some questions for you.”
I replied, “I won’t go! I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m not a bad person.” But they nonetheless dragged me to the police station.
At the station, I learned that the older man was a newly appointed member of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee. They took out a Falun Dafa banner and said, “This was found in a certain place. Surveillance footage shows you and someone else putting it up. You rode there on this electric bike.” I refused to answer any of their questions and just sent righteous thoughts in my mind to eliminate any bad elements, including fear. The young man tried to hit me, while the woman grabbed my backpack and dumped everything out. When they saw the Dafa materials, they pointed at them and threatened me, “This is enough evidence to sentence you!”
I kept sending righteous thoughts and refused to admit any wrongdoing. The older man said, “Let’s search her house. She must have more there.” They took me home and confiscated my Dafa books, Master’s portrait, a computer, and a CD player. They then took me back to the police station.
During the whole ordeal, I kept sending righteous thoughts and asking Master for help. I felt the space around me becoming clearer, and my fear diminished. I knew that Master was helping me eliminate the bad substances. This major incident may have resulted from a loophole in my cultivation. I needed to let go of my worries and look within to find what I had yet to eliminate. I firmly resolved not to let these attachments interfere with my saving people.
I continued sending righteous thoughts while observing their actions. When the three officers were discussing something, I had a thought, “Let them stop talking.” Miraculously, they did stop talking, and went their separate ways for a while. When they started interrogating me again, I silently recited Master’s poem “No Escape” from Hong Yin III, which caused them to stop again.
As I kept reciting the Fa, I felt the evil factors around me disintegrating, and eventually they stopped interrogating me. They kept pacing in and out of the room, and one of them then brought in a letter stating that I agree to give up practicing Falun Dafa. They told me to sign it, but I firmly refused.
They finally gave up questioning me. And just as I was about to send righteous thoughts again, someone said, “You can leave now.”
I didn’t move right away. A thought came to me, “Leave quickly before they change their minds.” But I realized that this thought wasn’t righteous. Seeing that I didn’t move, one of the officers began to push me, telling me to leave quickly. I said, “I want my Dafa books back.” They refused. And with that, they pushed me out of the police station.
I returned home safely four hours after the incident began. I’m deeply grateful to Master for his compassionate protection. Through this experience, I truly felt the power of looking within. Only by studying the Fa diligently can I do the three things well and return home with Master.
