My Experience of Going to Beijing to Safeguard the Fa on September 21

By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net )

I'm a 23-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner in China. I obtained the Fa in May of 2000. Before that, I used to quarrel with my husband even over tiny things, and we haggled over every little thing. We both became more peaceful together after I obtained the Fa. It's just like what Teacher said, "The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities." Through continuous studying of the Fa and sharing experiences with fellow practitioners, we understood the real purpose of being human is to return to one's original, true self.

I was shaken up a lot after reading Teacher's new article "Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciples." I decided to go to Beijing to validate Dafa, to fulfill my prehistoric oath. Once the righteous thought appeared, I had a dream that night. In my dream, I saw a big beautiful layer of lotus flower and "three flowers gathering above the head," so beautiful that no human language could describe. When I remembered it during the daytime, I felt the vast benevolence of Teacher, which confirmed me in my determination of taking part in the Fa-rectification.

On the morning of September 18, before I started off, I knelt down in front Teacher's picture and said, "Teacher, please give me, your disciple a chance, let me go to Beijing to validate Dafa. I don't have any other request." After I said it with my eyes closed, a miracle happened. I saw Teacher looking at me with a smile, as if he was encouraging me. I went to the railway station to buy a ticket to Beijing. The booking clerk told me that no seat was available for that day but some seats would be available for the next day. I hesitated for a while, an everyday person's thought came into my mind, "How painstaking would it be to go to Beijing by standing in the train!" Later when I thought that Teacher has suffered countless hardships in order to save us, it would be nothing to endure such a little. So I decided to go to Beijing even without a seat and bought the ticket. Probably this was a test by Teacher to see if my heart was determined.

When I arrived in Beijing, I headed directly to Tiananmen Square after I found someplace to hide my ID card. It was already 7 p.m. I strolled around Tiananmen Square for a while and saw many policemen and police vehicles wandering around the Square. I felt a little bit afraid, and did not unfold the banner there. But I hung the banner somewhere nearby the Square and returned to the railway station. I bought the ticket to go home. In the waiting room, the more I thought, the worse I felt. I could not calm down, thinking over and over again. I could not help crying with grief. I asked myself, "How could you return without achieving the goal of validating Dafa? No, I must validate the Fa before I go home." So I returned my ticket and decided to go to Tiananmen Square again.

I remembered that the banner had been hung. How would I validate the Fa? So I decided to make a banner myself. I went shopping and bought a yellow shirt, pens, needles, thread and a little knife. I used the knife to cut the yellow shirt into a banner and wrote sincerely on it "Falun Dafa is Good!" with a red pen. Then I used a needle and thread to sew the edges and soon the banner was ready. I immediately went to Tiananmen Square. I met a touring party when I went through the underground passage. I followed the touring party to the Square. Since every member of the touring party had a little flag in their hands while I didn't have one, the police around started noticing me. I sent out righteous thoughts: "I'm here to validate the Fa, the evil police cannot see me." I chose a place in the middle of the touring party and sat down. At that moment, Teacher's poems from HongYin "Mighty Virtue," "Non-existence" and so on kept appearing in my mind. I finally unfolded the banner and shouted with my pure heart what I have always wished to say, "Falun Dafa is Good!" The sound reverberated in my ears.

After a few minutes, the tourist guide asked all the members to stand up in a queue. I then folded the banner and stood up as well. With dignity, I went out of the Square to the underground passage. At that moment, I saw four policemen coming over to chase after me. I stood there unhurriedly and sent forth righteous thoughts in my heart: "I'm a Dafa particle, the evil police cannot see me." The four policemen passed by as if they did not see me. When I got to the entrance of the underground marketplace at the railway station, I calmly unfolded the banner and hung it there. I returned home safely and joined the onrush of Fa-rectification.
