(Minghui.org) Any improvement in a Falun Dafa practitioner’s cultivation is a result of Master’s infinite compassion and guidance. For this, I bow to Master. I would like to share the compassion I've experienced while cultivating.
Clarifying the Truth When Facing Tribulations
When I was distributing truth-clarification materials, someone grabbed my hand as I was putting a flyer on a parked motorcycle near the farmers’ market. I was startled to see four police officers right next to me. My immediately thought was: “I am doing the most righteous thing in the universe. Saving people is my mission and what Master wants. Don’t be afraid. What is there to be afraid of?” I calmed down immediately.
The police wanted to search my bag. When I resisted, they searched it anyway. They took everything out, put it all on the ground, and told me to point at them so they could take a photo to show that I’d been caught red-handed. I thought that these materials were meant to help save people, not to be used as evidence to persecute me, so I didn’t comply.
There were large and small truth-clarification booklets, brochures, copies of Minghui Weekly and The Ultimate Goal of Communism, and other things in my bag, a total of 19 items. It was the busiest time for the market and many people had gathered around. I felt that it was a good opportunity to tell people the truth, so I picked up a copy of Minghui Weekly and said in a raised voice, “Look! This is Master Li’s new article ‘How Humankind Came to Be.’
“There are so many natural and man-made disasters nowadays, and so many people have died from COVID-19. Master Li is teaching the Fa to the world and telling people the secrets of heaven. He hopes that everyone can understand the truth, be saved, and be safe from disaster. Please read it.” Onlookers stared at the magazine in my hand and did not dare to take it, but their eager eyes encouraged me.
“Falun Gong follows the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and encourages people to have high moral standards. It is beneficial for society, families, and individuals. The world needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. To stay safe in any catastrophe, please remember, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ One must also quit the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), the Youth League, and the Young Pioneers.”
The Communist Party Will Perish
I continued, “There is a large rock in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, with six big characters that say ‘The Chinese Communist Party will perish’ engraved on it. Over a dozen experts in China have examined it and verified that the stone is 270 million years old. The characters on it were naturally formed and not carved by hand. That rock has become a tourist attraction, and they charge 50 yuan per person to see it.
“The characters are printed on the ticket. Rich or poor, there is no place to hide from the catastrophe. That 270-million-year-old rock tells the truth. Only by quitting the CCP can one stay safe.”
When I talked to people face to face, sometimes they mentioned that a Falun Gong practitioner had self-immolated. They were deeply poisoned by the lies fabricated by the CCP, so I took the opportunity to tell them that the self-immolation on Tiananmen Square was a hoax. People listened, and no one raised any objections.
Telling the Truth in the Police Station
As the police were takng me to the station, I clarified the truth to them in the car. I said, “It is time for you to sober up. The important figures who persecuted Falun Gong, Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, and Wang Lijun, were all arrested and imprisoned. Some police officers would rather give up a promotion than participate in the persecution. Treat Falun Gong practitioners well, and you will be blessed by heaven.”
Several groups of people took turns interrogating me in the police station. One officer, who didn’t want to reveal his name, seemed to be a leader. He said that Falun Gong had been categorized by the government. I responded, “What kind of categorization? Who did it? The General Office of the State Council and the Ministry of Public Security did not include Falun Gong when they listed 14 cults in the country. There is no law that classifies Falun Gong as a cult.
“The persecution of Falun Gong was the result of Jiang Zemin’s jealousy. Master has cured millions of people of their illnesses and helped them improve their moral character without asking for any money. Jiang Zemin [former CCP leader] started this persecution because he was so jealous of Falun Gong’s popularity. He also fabricated the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident to frame and slander Falun Gong. It deceived the world and incited hatred.
“The self-immolation was obviously fake. The self-immolator was on fire, but his hair was not. The plastic bottle he held between his legs did not melt, and the fire was out in less than three minutes. The fire extinguishers were also readily available. Do Beijing police carry fire extinguishers with them at all times when they patrol?”
I told the truth to those who came into contact with me. I said, “None of the CCP’s previous campaigns were good, and that includes the persecution of Falun Gong. During the Three-Anti and Five-Anti campaigns, many people were killed. The Cultural Revolution instigated groups of people to kill each other. The students demonstrating against corruption on June 4th were shot with machine guns and crushed by tanks. The persecution of Falun Gong involves the harvesting of organs from living practitioners.
“Eighty million Chinese have died under CCP rule. After the Cultural Revolution, over 800 police officers and soldiers in Beijing who had carried out the order to persecute veteran cadres were taken to Yunnan Province as scapegoats and secretly executed. Their families were told that they had died in the line of duty.
“In short, don’t participate in the persecution, so that you can avoid being held responsible in the future. Didn’t Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, Wang Lijun, and other top leaders who persecuted Falun Gong all suffer retribution and were taken to prison? Now, more and more government officials who have persecuted Falun Gong have been dismissed.”
After lunch, I clarified the truth to the policewoman who was guarding me. I advised her, “Over 440 million people have now quit the CCP. Heaven is going to destroy the Party, so hurry up and quit. Don’t be buried with it.” I told her that she could use a pseudonym to quit. She could write the statement on a piece of paper and post it in a public place, because gods and Buddhas only care about people’s hearts.
Improvements in My Body and Mind Show How Great Dafa Is
A police officer who was interrogating me asked how to practice Falun Gong and said he wanted to do it, too. Whether he meant it or not, I felt that it was a good thing to tell him. I roughly went over the formulas and movements of the five exercises, and said, “I used to suffer from hives. I took Chinese and Western medicine every day, but nothing helped. My face was so swollen, my eyes were slits. I couldn’t even go out and buy groceries. I had a headache when the wind blew, and walking made me dizzy. I also had kidney problems and edema in my legs. I started practicing Falun Dafa in May 1997. Seven days later, red bumps appeared all over my body. I knew that Master had pushed my illnesses from within my body to the surface. I was happy, knowing that things would turn around after reaching an extreme. Sure enough, after that, all my ailments disappeared. I haven’t taken a pill in over 20 years.”
I added, “I used to have a bad temper and couldn’t tolerate anything I didn’t like. My husband would beat me when he was agitated. After practicing Dafa, I became calmer and no longer lost my temper, and my husband didn’t get angry with me anymore. We were able to solve our problems with ease.”
I was at the police station from morning until 5 p.m. All I did during that time was tell the people there the facts about Dafa.
Understanding the Power of Compassion
Usually, I am not a good speaker. This time when I was arrested, I told the truth to the police and everyone else I encountered. I talked about whatever came to my mind. I talked to whoever I met without being worried or fearful. I felt true compassion. During those seven or eight hours in the police station, I was able to maintain righteous thoughts in front of the police.
When I looked at those officers, I thought about how they had persecuted Dafa and Dafa practitioners. By doing so, they had violated the will of the Creator, kept sentient beings from being saved, and hindered the Fa-rectification. What a great sin! But they didn’t know that. They didn’t know that they were being manipulated and used by the evil forces. They didn’t know what that would lead to in the future. How pitiful and sad they were.
Dafa Practitioners’ Mission
Dafa practitioners are fulfilling the mission of saving sentient beings. To save them, we must let them know the truth. At the very least, we must let them understand that persecuting good people that believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is wrong. We must help them to distinguish right from wrong and good from evil and awaken their conscience. Only then will they have hope of being saved.
All I thought about was telling them the truth and trying to save them. I knew that if I met them, then it was my turn to try and save them. As soon as my righteous thoughts came forth and compassion arose, I felt myself get taller and taller, and all my fears dissolved.
They took me out of the police station at 5 p.m., and I thought they were going to take me to a detention center. I held no fear because I could tell people the facts and save them wherever I went. But they let me go.
I was able to walk out of the police station because I held righteous thoughts and compassion. It meant I had made progress in my cultivation. And every step of my improvement is inseparable from Master’s infinite compassion and guidance.
At noon on the day I entered the police station, I sat cross-legged and sent forth righteous thoughts. I was embraced and supported by powerful energy. I felt that Master was by my side. It was Master who allowed me to feel and understand the power of righteous thoughts and compassion.
From this incident, I realized better somthinge Master said:
“Compassion can harmonize Heaven and Earth,ushering in springRighteous thoughts can save the peoplein this world”(“The Fa Rectifies the Cosmos,” Hong Yin II).
In the future, I will study the Fa better. Only by studying the Fa well can I have stronger righteous thoughts and a greater level of compassion so that I can better fulfill my vows and complete my mission.
