An Outcry of Righteous Faith
(Clearwisdom.net) The cruel persecution in a local labor camp could not
move a Dafa practitioner's steadfast righteous belief in Dafa. As a result he
was transferred to a labor camp in Beijing for further persecution. In the labor camp in Beijing, the prison guards exhausted all kinds of cruel
means to torture him, attempting to waver his steadfast belief in Dafa. When the
practitioner was tortured to the extreme of his endurance and was about to break
down, he thought of Master. From the deepest depths of his heart, he called out
loudly, "Shi--Fu--!" (Master--!) The call was filled with his
steadfast belief and faith. All the guards in the room and the nearby corridor
heard the call. They were all shocked, standing there dumbstruck for several
moments. The torture stopped at this moment. Since then, the prison guards have
never dared to persecute him. I think the reason why some practitioners have been tortured so severely by
the evil elements is that they forgot that they were disciples at the critical
moment. Master said, "But at that moment, some students' righteous thoughts
weren't adequate, and so the persecution that they suffered became even more
severe. When the evil was beating them they forgot that they were Dafa
disciples, and they didn't think, "I'll ask Master to help me." Or,
when some people did ask Master for help, they had a strong attachment of
fear." (Touring North America to Teach the Fa) We should always place the Fa in the first place. From the Fa's standpoint,
we should completely deny the arrangements of the old forces, not allowing such
persecution to happen to our Dafa disciples. Dafa has its dignity, how could low
level rotten lives be allowed to persecute Dafa at will? That is an insult to
Dafa. In addition, the establishment of our mighty virtue needs not to be tested
by the old forces' persecution. Another steadfast Dafa practitioner, a woman, was illegally sentenced to a
labor camp for going to Beijing to appeal for Dafa. She was cruelly tortured and
forced to undergo brainwashing. All this could not change her righteous faith in
Dafa. She refused to cooperate with the evil at all times, yet all the camps
guard-team leaders revered her. Some collaborators who had renounced their
practice of Dafa often fawned over and flattered the team leaders in order to
obtain their favor. However, when the labor camp authorities proposed sentence
reductions for them to higher authorities, the steadfast practitioner received
the greatest reduction in her sentence, while the collaborators got much less. The steadfast Dafa practitioner told them, "Master has the final
say." Note: collaborator [former Falun Gong practitioner who went astray due to
brainwashing and torture] |
