Establishing an Unshakeable, Righteous Mind: I Walked Out of the Police Station with Dignity
[Minghui Net]
I went to Beijing to safeguard Dafa last year, later I wrote a "promise
letter" against my will. Afterwards, I was very regretful. After studying
Teacher's recently published articles, I doubled my efforts to make up what I
lost, and meanwhile I also clearly realized that the evil force's persecution to
Dafa practitioners has come to the extent of being intolerable; the evil has
already reached the point that it is unsavable and unkeepable. Teacher talked
about this principle again in a recent article that
"for the evil tests arranged by the old force, I do not recognize it at
all" [Note: unofficial translation]. Even Teacher will not
recognize the actions of the evil force, then this evil test had already lost
necessary factors for its existence. Truly understanding Fa from the perspective
of Fa enables us to overcome difficulties when confronting the evil tests. The
following is my recent experience.
For quite a long time flyers and banners that clarify the truth keep on
appearing in our area. The authorities could not find any clues no matter how
hard they tried to follow the practitioners openly or secretly. This almost
drove them crazy. In the morning of April 25, 2001, they rounded up all the
"important" practitioners of our town, including me and took us to the
town government.
Having Teacher and Fa in my heart and no selfish factors in safeguarding
Dafa, there is no fear. So I was not afraid of them at all during that time, and
pointed out explicitly to them that it was violating the law to arrest people
with no reason. I also tore down the vicious slogans in the room where I was
locked up. Then they showed some videos that slandered Falun Dafa. I took the
opportunity to clarify the truth and expose the evil to the head of the
township. I also told them clearly "the promise letter I wrote last year
was under great pressure and against my will. I want to firmly cultivate Falun
Dafa." Right away their reactions verified what Teacher said, "without
the manipulation of those evil factors, the evil humans have lost what
reinforced their minds" (Teacher's Lecture at the Great Lakes
Conference in North America). They were no longer as vicious as before. When I
explain to them further "the causal relationship between good and
evil" [Note: unofficial translation of Teacher's article "Suggestion"],
they remained silent. It was obvious that "clearing from people's minds the
poison of the evil's lies and deception" [Note: from Teacher's article:
"Persons in Charge of the European Fa Conference and All Attendees"]
is what we need to do.
With an excuse that I interfered with the showing of the videotape causing
them not to achieve the result they expected, they locked me up in another room.
Of course I cleaned up all the vicious slogans in that room. They regarded me as
"breaking the law twice" and sent me to the town police station in the
same morning for detention. There was only one detention room in the police
station and a man was already there. They thought about handcuffing me but the
handcuffs had already been used on other people and there were none. The
policeman asked me "Is it ok to lock you up with that man?" Since when
they arrested me I had established the righteous mind that the evil persecution
is absolutely not acceptable, at this time I did not have the passive attitude
of submitting myself to the mercy of the evil force, therefore I said, "Do
according to your conscience!" As a result things turned around and became
better: a policeman and a policewoman took me to another office. Soon after my
husband arrived after learning of the news. It was certainly not accidental. My
husband is not a practitioner. Upon his arrival, he accused the police loudly
for arresting people at will. The vicious police were afraid of being exposed to
the public. So they could only try to cover up by persuading my husband to
leave. I took this opportunity to spread the Fa to the two police. After a while
the policewoman made up an excuse and left, shortly after the policeman left
too. Therefore I walked out of the police station openly with dignity.
On the way home I was reminded of Teacher's words in the article "Cautionary
Advice": "If every one of you can understand the Fa from the
depths of your mind, that will truly be the manifestation of the Fa whose power
knows no boundary--the reappearance of the mighty Buddha Fa in the human
world!" (Essentials For Further Advancement). I had a deeper
understanding.
Upon arriving home, both my mother-in-law and my husband said that they
wanted to go to the police station to question the police about why they
violated the law while carrying out the law. They would additionally ask them to
take the responsibility of my personal safety and freedom.
I realized from this experience: if we establish an unshakable, righteous
mind, our family will be the first to awaken. Isn't that faster and a more
thorough way to eliminate the evil force? Of course the prerequisite is that we
ourselves must act righteously!
