Resisting All Persecution with Righteous Thoughts, I Left the Brainwashing Center Openly and with Dignity
(Clearwisdom.net) Before the 16th Party Congress, I was
kidnapped and taken to a local government office. The evil wanted to break down
my determination to get information about our local Dafa activities in order to
further persecute fellow practitioners and destroy our truth-clarifying material
site. I held one single thought: I will not cause any loss to Dafa or fellow
practitioners. The police locked me in a room where four or five men surrounded me. One of
them held the handcuffs and threatened to cuff me. I resisted firmly and stared
directly into his eyes. Shortly after, they all left the room, and didn't talk
about cuffing me anymore. They got nothing from me. Three days later, I was sent to a brainwashing
class, where I continued to resist their persecution. They forced us to watch
videotapes slandering Dafa. I refused to watch them and kept sending forth
righteous thoughts. At last they gave up. During my detention in the
brainwashing center, they found all types of excuses to interrogate me. They
also threatened that I would be sentenced to a forced labor camp, because being
detained there was too easy for me. I knew that everything that happened was
because of my attachments, so I kept looking inward to let go my own attachments
and in the meantime kept resisting all persecution. As soon as I was sent to the brainwashing center, managers of my work unit
came to see me, telling me to cooperate with the brainwashing. They had tried to
send me to brainwashing classes several times before but didn't succeed. The old
forces utilized Dafa practitioners' human notions to persecute us, but our
Master doesn't acknowledge this and I was not going to acknowledge it either. I
was determined to fully deny all arrangements of the old forces and leave the
brainwashing center with righteous thoughts. I thought in my mind, "I must
do it well. I cannot be detained here. I have to go out and continue clarifying
the truth to save sentient beings." I started a hunger and made up my mind
to continue until they released me. Through my truth-clarifying efforts, the two monitors who were assigned to
watch me learned the truth about Dafa. They understood me and were willing to
help me. On the sixth day of my hunger strike, my family members came to see me.
They were not allowed to visit me under normal circumstances. As soon as they
saw how weak and sick I was, they requested to take me to the hospital. The evil
persecutors refused, claiming that I had to write the "four letters"
(guaranteeing not to practice) before they would release me. I kept sending
forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors in other dimensions
behind those evil persons. Finally, they allowed me to go to the hospital, and
in this way I came out of the brainwashing class and returned to the current of
Fa-rectification. There were also some things that I didn't do well. When I was arrested, my
understanding was not stable. Because of my human feelings and attachments, I
signed the so-called investigation report, though I knew it was wrong. I
regretted very much doing that. I realized my biggest attachments were human
sentimentality and the underlying fear. I hope fellow practitioners can learn
from my lessons and take every step well. I learned many things during this period and I would like to share with
fellow practitioners. I felt more than once that righteous thoughts are powerful. During the
period I was detained at the government office, a thug tried in vain to force
me to write a guarantee letter and said some dirty words. Shortly after, I
sent forth righteous thoughts and he left the room. One afternoon when I was
at the brainwashing class, two male staff members came into my room. I sent
forth righteous thought as soon as they came in: I would not allow them to
persecute me. Right away, they were paged to answer phone calls and never came
again after that. I fully realized that once my heart was righteous and my
mind was righteous; my thoughts based on the Fa could do anything. Cultivation of speech is very important. If we don't do well cultivating
our speech, we will cause bigger losses to Dafa and other practitioners. When I was arrested, my family members frequently blamed the practitioner who
leaked information about me in order to shake my righteous thoughts. My heart
was very calm and I told them I did not blame anybody. I had no regrets or
hatred. Since then they haven't said a word about it. I understood that all the
bad deeds were done by the evil; it was the persecution evil imposed on fellow
practitioners that caused the leak. None of this would have happened if there
were no evil persecution. Of course, one must take responsibility for what
he/she does during this process. I should do better in sending forth righteous
thoughts, clarifying the truth and eliminating evil forces persecuting Dafa
practitioners. I felt at ease and peaceful when not being moved by human
thoughts and emotions. Due to the limitation of my level, there might be mistakes or comments that
do not comply with Fa principles in this article. All corrections or comments of
fellow practitioners are welcomed. December 14, 2002
