(Minghui.org) When I went to a rural market one morning in April 2024 to clarify the truth, two plainclothes police officers followed and abducted me.
I immediately looked inward and found my attachments. Earlier that morning when I arrived at the market entrance, I saw four or five uniformed police officers walking out. I thought: “It’s Sunday, so they are going home to rest. I brought quite a lot of materials today, so I should distribute them quickly and catch the bus home.”
First, I had not regarded the police as people to be saved, but as persecutors. Second, I wanted to finish distributing the materials quickly, which showed an attachment to completing a task. Third, I was worried about missing the bus. I had not put saving sentient beings as my main priority. These impure thoughts gave the evil an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole. But I am a Dafa practitioner assisting Master in rectifying the Fa. I entrusted everything to Master. I shouted, “Master, please help me! Falun Dafa is good!”
The two plainclothes police took me toward an intersection. Suddenly, I had no fear at all. I loudly clarified the truth to them. I told them about the spread of Dafa around the world, the wave of people withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and the heavenly principle that good and evil will receive their due. Although my mouth went dry from talking, I tried to tell them as much as I could. One police officer stayed beside me, recording me, while the other contacted the police station and requested a police vehicle. After a while, a police vehicle arrived, and three or four officers took me to the police station.
In the station lobby, I sat on a bench and sent forth strong righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil spirits and factors in the station’s dimensional field that persecute Dafa practitioners, and stop the police from committing crimes against Dafa.
They asked where I was from and various other questions. I refused to cooperate. I thought, “I am a practitioner. I came to save people. I am the main character here. You can only be saved after you understand the truth.”
The police searched my wallet, took my bus card, and laid out the truth-clarification materials and booklets from my bag on the floor to take photos.
The police then tried to take photos of me and attempted to remove my mask and hat. Knowing that Master was strengthening my righteous thoughts, I said sternly, “You are violating my human rights.” After hearing this, they did not touch me again, and were unable to take my photograph.
A middle-aged man who appeared to be of higher rank came out and told the younger officers, “Put these things [the materials] away.” Then he said to me, “You can go home. We will look for you again.” With Master’s protection, I walked out of the police station openly and calmly.
When I got home, I immediately organized my printing equipment and spent a long time sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all evil behind the police, help them break free from the CCP’s lies and not commit crimes against Dafa practitioners. I also wanted their hearts to be filled with the words ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ so that they can be saved.
I realized that the path Dafa practitioners walk in assisting Master to rectify the Fa and save sentient beings is sacred, yet it is also accompanied by tribulations. As long as we firmly believe in Master and always look inward, tribulations can become a ladder for us to ascend on the divine path.
Calling out to Master at a critical moment does not mean pushing everything onto Master. It means doing what Master has taught us, eliminating attachments while clarifying the truth, disintegrating the evil, and saving sentient beings. In this way, we overcome tribulations, elevate our realms, save people, and fulfill the historic mission entrusted to us by Dafa.
The police station has never contacted me again. Master has again protected me, allowing me to continue steadily on the path of cultivation. I will solidly cultivate myself well, take every little matter in cultivation seriously, and walk the final stage of the journey well. This is the best way to repay Master for his compassion.
When I first moved into my current apartment building, one of my neighbors wasn’t very friendly toward me. She would chat with other neighbors but would not even look at me. I knew she misjudged me, and I regarded this as an opportunity to improve my xinxing.
As we interacted over time, I held myself to the standards of a practitioner. I warmly chatted with her and asked about her life. Whenever she had something heavy that she could not carry, I helped her. When she left her garbage outside her door, I took it out for her when I took out my own.
She was deeply touched and gradually became more friendly. She said that I was kind and sincere, and began initiating conversations with me. I then took the opportunity to tell her about Dafa.
She agreed with what I told her. I said, “Whenever you feel unhappy about something or don’t feel well physically, sincerely recite, ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.’ Recite these words often.” She was very touched and happy. Many years have passed, and she often tells me that she recites these nine words every day, adding, “Master Li is good!”
She regards me as her own daughter and tells me everything. What touches me most is that my home is also a site for group Fa study. Whenever practitioners come to study the Fa and she sees them passing her window, she always greets them with a big smile. Sometimes she even opens the window to chat with them and tells them that I am a good person.
Her kind attitude toward Dafa and Dafa practitioners has also brought blessings to her and her children. Her children treat her well, and their lives have gone smoothly and prospered. She is now 96 years old and does not need medication or hospitalization.
Another neighbor bought an apartment here later but doesn’t live here. He only keeps some belongings here and comes occasionally to check on them. Whenever I meet him, I take the opportunity to talk with him. He is well educated, easygoing, and warm toward others. Through continued interaction, he eventually became willing to tell me about his life.
He believes in Jesus and was a university student before the Cultural Revolution. Because the CCP considered his family background undesirable, he did not join any CCP organizations. I kindly told him that I practiced Falun Dafa and clarified the truth to him. I gave him the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and other truth-clarification materials. He enjoyed reading them.
Later, I gave him Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. After reading it, he told me something that had happened when he was young. He had once traveled to Hong Kong. After returning, the village committee detained him for a long time. He had never been able to let go of this experience and had always wanted an opportunity to take revenge. After reading Zhuan Falun, the principle of “no loss, no gain” helped resolve the knot in his heart, and he eventually abandoned his desire for revenge. Dafa dissolved the resentment in his heart and prevented what could have become a tragic situation in which both sides suffered.
He has also been blessed. At 86, his hearing and eyesight remain good, and his mind is clear. He has a very clear understanding of the CCP. He told me that the CCP is really bad and urged me to be careful and stay safe. From him, I realized that clarifying the truth can save people at the most fundamental level. This also encourages me to be more diligent.
Another neighbor moved from the countryside to the city, while his children work in the city. I visited his home and learned that he had been a village team leader when he was young and was a CCP member.
I told him that all the illnesses I had suffered from disappeared after I began practicing Falun Dafa. I also told him that Dafa is the Buddha Fa and that Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are standards given by the divine for human beings. He didn’t want to listen and left, but his wife was interested. I didn’t give up on him and frequently brought him truth-clarification materials to read.
One day, I visited him again and tried to persuade him to withdraw from the CCP. He immediately shouted, “I will follow the Party to the end!” His response shocked me. I thought, “This is also a choice coming from deep within a person’s life.”
One evening toward the end of the peak period of the pandemic, he suddenly developed severe pain. His family took him to the hospital, but the doctors couldn’t find the problem and sent him home. After returning home, he couldn’t even drink water and passed away soon after.
While regretting what had happened, I also reflected on myself. If I had more thoroughly eliminated the elements of CCP culture within myself, assimilated to Dafa, and sent stronger righteous thoughts to eliminate the CCP’s factors behind him, perhaps Dafa’s compassion could have saved him. Every life came for the Fa. How could one willingly miss the opportunity for which one had waited millions of years?
From another perspective, however, the choices made by these neighbors have demonstrated that Dafa is extraordinary and that the heavenly principle of good being rewarded and evil being punished is real.
As Dafa practitioners, we do not want to see people suffer because they do not know the truth. I hope that people who are deceived will learn about Dafa’s goodness, see through the CCP’s evil, courageously withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, so they can have a bright future.
I also hope that my fellow practitioners and I can become increasingly diligent. While cultivating ourselves well, we should clarify the truth, rectify ourselves through the process, do the three things well, and fulfill our vows so that we can return home with Master.
