by Huihui, a teenage practitioner from China

(This is part 3 of a series of 3 articles)

I stayed overnight at Zhizhi's house, then went back to my home the next day. My mom had been waiting for me for quite a while. That night, my mom and I again sent forth righteous thoughts. It was said that the malicious police were planning to go out and try to capture Falun Dafa practitioners for the next two nights. They didn't dare to do so during the daytime because they were afraid of creating a negative public image of themselves. I thought of Zhizhi, so I mentally asked, "Teacher, please protect Zhizhi and don't let the evil take advantage of her." The second that I entered tranquility, I saw layers upon layers of gods. Then, however, countless evil beings jumped out of their hands and captured Zhizhi, locking her in an iron cage. So I immediately began sending forth righteous thoughts and, "Completely deny all the arrangements by the old evil forces. Teacher, please strengthen me so that I can help to free my fellow practitioner." I then experienced a battle of wills against the old forces. The following is the dialogue between the old forces and me.

Old forces (pointing at me): "You didn't diligently cultivate yourself at all. You are no longer good enough to be your Teacher's disciple."

Huihui: "It is just because I didn't diligently cultivate myself before, that I need to do well with everything that a Falun Dafa disciple needs to do during the final, critical times. I will cultivate myself diligently and with vigor. Actually, all of you have deviated from the Fa. It's impossible for you to see the principles of the new cosmos. The only solution for you now is to follow my Teacher to rectify the Fa. Otherwise, when the time comes for the Fa to rectify the human world, you will be destroyed along with all of your sentient beings.

Old forces: "Why are you here? Leave here right away!"

Huihui: "I'm here to rescue my fellow practitioner. I will leave, but not without her."

Old forces (pointing at Zhizhi): "She was your best friend when you were a child. You are here out of your 'human sentimentality.' You still haven't gotten rid of your human attachments. There is no use in even trying to cultivate yourself."

Huihui: "It is just because I still have human attachments, that I need to cultivate myself. I'm here not out of human sentimentality, but out of compassion. Falun Dafa practitioners are still trying to save ordinary people, even under such serious circumstances. All the Falun Dafa practitioners around the world are one body. You are persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners because you want to stick to your old notions. You lost your compassion a long time ago, and your heart is now full of selfishness. My teacher told us to attain the righteous enlightenment of selflessness. We are much better and much nobler than you are."

Old forces: "Who said that? We have compassion! With just a wave of our hand, the Earth would cease to exist, but none of us have done that. Aren't we compassionate? Would you still be alive, otherwise? We didn't do that because you human beings are so pitiful!"

Huihui: But do you realize that with a wave of my Teacher's hand, the entire cosmos would no longer exist, no matter how high your levels are, or how many sentient beings you have? If my teacher had done that, the whole cosmos would have been destroyed. If he had done so, would you still be alive? Don't you think you are also pitiful? You have your own sentient beings, and yet you treat my Teacher's disciples like that. My Teacher is disappointed in you, but he didn't destroy you. Instead, he gave you one chance after another. Aren't you ashamed? In fact, you are under my Teacher's control, yet you still continue to interfere with my Teacher's Fa-rectification. You remain trapped by your own selfishness and by your old notions. Wake up, and don't persecute the Fa any more! Otherwise, when the Fa rectifies the human world, everything will already be set, and you won't even have a chance to regret your past misdeeds.

Old forces: All right, then. You can leave with Zhizhi.

I pulled Zhizhi out of the iron cage, and Teacher's words came to my mind, "For example, after some Dafa disciples are arrested, they are able to maintain an unshakable calm, and they have no fear. You'll see that the old forces don't dare to persecute them. It's because they know that unless they beat them to death, any persecution of them won't do a thing, so they don't touch them." (From "Touring North America to Teach the Fa")

I know that I have improved a lot during the past two days. The improvements came from the Fa and from my striving forward together with fellow practitioners. Here, I would like to send my highest regard to our benevolent and great Teacher! I hope all fellow practitioners truly realize the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts. Let's always remember Teacher's words, "... just by having your heart unaffected you will be able to handle all situations." (From "Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)")

Fellow practitioners, please point out wherever I may have fallen short.
