The Radiance of Dafa Shines into Every Corner (II)
(Clearwisdom.net)
á
Ever since Dafa was brought
to the public, countless kindhearted people have taken up cultivation practice.
Especially in this great historical period of Fa-rectification, even when the
Dafa practitioners are under suppression and persecution, they have continued to
practice and promote Falun Dafa. With continuous efforts, the practitioners have
persevered in clarifying the truth and eliminating the evil. In the process,
many convicted criminals have come to recognize the greatness of Zhen-Shan-Ren
(Truth, Compassion, Forbearance), in Dafa's teachings. These prisoners have
sincerely repented their sins. They are now following a righteous path, at the
same time standing up to the injustices done to the Dafa practitioners. Many of
the prisoners are righteously defending Dafa and upholding the truth under
enormous pressure.
á
8.áá Since we constantly clarified the truth, many
prisoners who were originally sent by the police to monitor Falun Dafa
practitioners also started to practice Falun Gong or to protect Dafa
practitioners. In an attempt to stop us from studying the Fa, the prison
searched us thoroughly every two to three days. The prisoners volunteered to
protect Dafa materials. We hesitated to let them do that, since they would be
punished or not be able to shorten their sentences had they been discovered. At
that time, one person said, "Don't worry, if the worst comes to the worst I will
just have to stay for my full sentence." Another person said, "This is what we
should do."
á
9. ááAfter listening to us talk about Falun Dafa,
one prisoner was half believing and half doubting. The next morning she told us
that she had a dream. In the dream, a crowd of people with odd appearances and
figures wanted to harm these prisoners. She immediately told other prisoners,
"Let's sit down and practice Falun Gong." Then everyone sat cross-legged. This
group of grotesque people then vanished. Finished describing her dream, she
asked me, "Are these all real?" I replied, "Yes. Looking from your dream, that
side of yours actually believes in Falun Dafa deeply. Only this side of yours is
disturbed by karma [and therefore does not believe in Dafa]. It is actually not
a dream."
á
10. One prisoner firmly believes in Falun Dafa.
We felt that sometimes Teacher used his mouth to point out our attachments. This
prisoner told us that he saw Dafa practitioners all wearing the cassocks in his
dream. They were jumping down a hole. At that time, the prisoner was very
anxious, worrying about the safety of the practitioners. Then she heard a voice
echoing in the air, "They are descendents of Dafa. They will be all right."
á
11. Several days after I was detained, I had a
dream one night. A boy told me that he wanted me to be his girlfriend. I told
him that I already had a boyfriend. Then Master appeared. He smiled at me and
said, "I believe that you can handle this well." I felt very strange after I
woke up, "I am imprisoned now. How could something like this happen?" The next
day, I suddenly received a letter written by a male prisoner. He said that he
did not understand why I was smiling everyday in jail and asked what crime I had
committed exactly. I thought about Teacher's words in the dream and immediately
replied to him. I described how I was arrested because of practicing Falun Gong.
I told him about Falun Dafa, and using the principles of Dafa, explained why I
was not unhappy like other prisoners. Very soon, I received his letter again. He
indicated that he believed in Falun Dafa and felt that Falun Dafa is very good.
Later, the male prisoners learned about this. They often came to me for advice
whenever they had trouble. I told them about the principle of Falun Dafa and how
to check ourselves with "Truth, Compassion, Forbearance." These prisoners then
told prisoners in other prisons. Many prisoners developed the good wish to
practice Falun Dafa.
á
12. In the detention center, a prisoner was
sentenced because of stealing and locked up with practitioners who had gone to
Beijing to appeal. She took the path of cultivation and persisted in practicing
the exercises and studying the Fa with the practitioners in jail. The police
cuffed her hands and feet for two days and nights, and asked whether she would
continue to practice. She firmly answered, "Yes." On the third day, the police
tied her up in an electric chair and tortured her for one day and night. They
asked her again whether she would continue to practice. She said with
determination, "Yes." This new practitioner's great and firm action effectively
suffocated the evil. They finally had to give up and left.
á
13. Along with the speeding-up process of Fa
rectification and deeper truth-clarification, people including the criminals
came to understand the truth more and more. The criminals who conducted crimes
in ordinary people's society have done wrong things because of wrong thoughts in
that split second. They actually may not be bad people. Many prisoners'
conscience and righteousness were inspired, and started to protest and care for
the practitioners who were persecuted in jail. Their respect for Dafa and
everything they have done for Dafa practitioners have already established a good
foundation for their future. Furthermore, according to them, many of them have
seen, to a certain extent, spectacular scenes of gods, Buddha's, and dragons
etc. in other dimensions. Some prisoners who were due for release indicated that
they would tell their family members that Falun Dafa is good and let their
family practice Falun Gong as well. They also said that they would write letters
to the National People's Congress and the governments to demand the persecution
of Falun Dafa practitioners to be stopped.
