(Minghui.org) I lost my well-paying job after the persecution started. I didn’t have any sought-after skills, so I found jobs mostly in service industries, such as customer service, sales, and as a phone operator. Those jobs were not stable, and I could easily be made redundant. I always worried about my finances.

I read an experience-sharing article that said that practitioners shouldn’t accept financial persecution. I understood that being unable to hold a job had been arranged by the old forces and not by Master. I became determined to absolutely not acknowledge the financial persecution and that I must have a stable income. Thanks to Master’s arrangements, I learned a new skill after putting forth much effort and found a job easily. I no longer needed to worry about getting a job.

Though I had a stable job, my income was low, and I just barely made ends meet. My finances wouldn’t have been that tight if there had been no persecution. I was still being persecuted financially. I realized that I should counter the persecution. The evil wanted to bankrupt practitioners, so it was very important to break through the evil’s financial persecution. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the financial persecution imposed on me by the old forces.

During my spare time at work one day, I sent forth righteous thoughts with a focused mind. My righteous thoughts were very strong. As soon as I finished the thought “completely negate the financial persecution by the old forces and absolutely do not acknowledge the old forces’ arrangements,” I saw through my third eye that a big, bulging pocket in the sky had been torn open, and a dozen gold coins fell out. I realized that the wealth inside the pocket had been confiscated by the evil and belonged to me. I was wondering if my wealth was going to return to me, since the gold coins fell down. Did my righteous thoughts play a role? I couldn’t believe it myself. I jokingly extended my hand and asked, “Where is my wealth?” To my surprise, a family member gave me 10,000 yuan a week later.

This reinforced my confidence. Master also gave me a hint while I was studying the Fa. After I had recited the Fa, I continued sending forth righteous thoughts to target the financial persecution. I had a pure mind so that my righteous thoughts could play their role. One year later, my savings increased a lot. I didn’t have to worry about my financial situation.

I heard one day that Song (alias), a human rights lawyer who was going to defend a practitioner, was unable to accept any cases because his family member had become seriously ill and he had to look after her. I realized that it must be the evil interfering in this crucial moment. For two weeks, I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the dark minions and the evil elements that interfered with the lawyer every day after I recited the Fa. I could feel that the rolling thunder was blasting the evil elements that had persecuted the lawyer.

I later learned that Song’s family member had become much better. Song came to defend the practitioner and achieved a good result. Many of the courtroom observers learned the truth. I felt that I had done the right thing. Though the lawyer was an everyday person, he had played the role of exposing the evil and protecting practitioners. He helped Dafa practitioners save sentient beings and validate the Fa. The evil had targeted him because of this.

There have been many examples of lawyers being persecuted. When we send forth righteous thoughts for persecuted practitioners, we should also send forth righteous thoughts to help the lawyers who defend them, because they play the role of being practitioners’ mouthpieces and help make our voices heard. The evil has interfered with lawyers, intending to derail the whole thing. Facing interference from other dimensions, the lawyers are everyday people and are unable to do anything but put up with it passively. If the interference has been large, they have had to give up and couldn’t accept cases. These things have happened from time to time. The human rights lawyers from the early stages gave up defending practitioners. The old forces’ excuse was to help the lawyers establish mighty virtue. The old forces revoked the lawyers’ licenses and interfered with saving sentient beings. Practitioners need to pay attention to this matter when they hire lawyers. We should help eliminate the persecution from other dimensions.

On another occasion, my child’s ID went missing. I looked everywhere for it in my home and couldn’t find it. I looked within and felt that this was a hint for him. He hadn’t studied the Fa recently and had lost his ID. He didn’t study the Fa of his own accord. I had to call him several times to study the Fa every day. Every time I called him, he said that he would do it in a moment. But he didn’t do it. I called him again. He delayed again. I got so sick of calling him that I was going to give up on him. He didn’t study the Fa if I didn’t urge him. He was very happy doing everyday things. But Master didn’t give up on him and reminded him in this way. I felt that I shouldn’t be so selfish and I should help him. I admitted my mistakes to Master. I needed to fill in an application for his new ID, but it would be troublesome to do so because I would have to visit several departments. I decided to use my divine powers. I pleaded with Master to help me. I thought of moving the ID in my mind three times. I found the ID in a place where we would never put our documents. There was an element of enlightenment there, which was to see whether I believed in the divine power.

I would like to remind practitioners that our cultivation path is very narrow, especially for practitioners in China, and we will make mistakes if we deviate even a little bit. Practitioners around me were harassed and persecuted recently. I understand that the reason for the persecution was that they didn’t quite understand the seriousness of cultivation and had unintentionally deviated from the cultivation path that Master had arranged for them. Many practitioners didn’t understand this Fa principle and were not strict with themselves in this regard. We only talk about the three things that Dafa practitioners should do and don’t let other things mess up doing the three things. Otherwise, we might deviate and cause interference for other practitioners. Some practitioners looked within and found a lot of attachments. But they didn’t look within from this angle and might not pinpoint their attachments so the evil still got hold of them. We should look within to see if we have deviated from the path Master has arranged for us. If yes, we should apologize to practitioners who were the victims and mitigate the losses. Only when we are very clear on this point can we completely break through the evil’s arrangements.

I heard that some practitioners run public social media accounts and put articles about traditional culture and cultivation in Buddhism on them. Those articles were from Dynaweb and Vision China. Some of these practitioners were arrested. I would like to remind practitioners in China again that the situation in China is different from the situation abroad. Overseas social media accounts are mainly for truth-clarification. The public media accounts in China can’t clarify the truth directly and put up some cultivation stories from other religions. The content is very limited. Practitioners were actually validating other religions and not validating Falun Dafa. This was an excuse that the evil used to persecute them.

These are my personal insights at my level. Please kindly point out anything that has room for improvement.
