With Teacher's Protection, I Walked Out of a Brainwashing Center with Righteous Thoughts By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net)
Around 11 PM on October 29, 2002, 7 or 8 police officers climbed a wall,
broke into my home, and conducted an illegal search. They took away my photo of
Teacher, my copy of Zhuan Falun, and my tapes of Teacher's lectures. They
forcibly abducted my son and me and took us to the police station that night.
At the police station, I continually sent forth righteous thoughts to
eliminate the evil behind the police in other dimensions to prevent them from
committing crimes against Dafa. When one officer asked me the source of my
lecture tapes and I refused to answer, he kicked my right temple with great
force. I felt my head start to get hot when, suddenly, I saw a big Falun turning
in front of me. Then the police officer kicked me in the abdomen, beat me about
the ribs and chest, but most often in the head. After the beating, they cuffed
my hands behind me, took away my shoes, and locked me inside the station office.
During the entire time I continued sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate
the evil factors in other dimensions. I did not feel my injuries because our
benevolent Teacher was protecting me.
The next afternoon, the same police officer that had questioned and beat me
the day before asked, "Have you thought it through? Your son has told us
everything. Now we will see if you tell us the truth." I pointed out to them,
"You can't even leave a child in peace. We cultivate Truthfulness, Compassion
and Tolerance. To be a healthy, kind person is not wrong!" Another officer said,
"Practicing Falun Gong is illegal." I countered, "Where in our constitution does
it say that to practice Falun Gong is illegal? You climbed into my home in the
middle of the night and harassed my family. Which particular law allowed you to
do that? You are violating the law!" Again they asked, "Where did your tapes
came from?" I still refused to answer, so they slapped my face, kicked my legs,
and pinched my thighs. I did not give up. I remembered Teacher's article,
"Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions": "A Great Enlightened Being does not fear hardship Having forged an adamantine will And with no attachment to living or dying He walks his path of Fa-rectification openly and nobly" I not only will not give up, but I will also eliminate the evil factors in other
dimensions that are manipulating these people who damage Dafa. One policeman
pounded my chest, kicked my feet, and with the heels of his boots, stomped on my
toes and ground them into the floor. My feet did not feel pain, only numbness.
The evil did not get what it wanted and had to leave discouraged.
Another policeman came to harass me. I sent forth righteous thoughts and
reminded myself, "I am a Falun Dafa disciple, and I do not acknowledge the old
evil force's arrangements. I will eliminate the evil factors in other dimensions
that dare to persecute me. I will reflect all the persecution back to
persecutors, and I will not endure any of it." Immediately, I felt no pain when
the officer kicked me. When he slapped my head, I felt a cushion between my head
and his hands, and I was not hurt at all.
That evening, the police illegally transported me to a brainwashing center.
Upon arrival, I sent forth righteous thoughts to clean the environment and
eliminate the evil factors behind the brainwashing center. I firmly believed
that this was not the place for me to stay and that I needed to walk out to help
Teacher do Fa-rectification and save sentient beings.
One evil policeman, whose last name is Ding, was sent to the class from the
"610 Office" [An agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with
absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other
political and judiciary systems]. He gave me three booklets that were
produced by the "610 Office". The booklets slandered Dafa and Teacher. He wanted
me to write the "Three Statements" [Practitioners are coerced under
brainwashing and torture to write these as proof that they have given up their
belief. Created by the "610 Office," the three statements consist of a letter of
repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong, and a list of names
and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are
practitioners.] according to the "610 Office" requirements. I immediately sent
forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors behind these three
booklets and the brainwashing class. Two days later Ding saw that I had refused
to read the three booklets or to write the three statements. He said, "If you
are so capable, why not have all of us fall asleep, and then you can go free?"
Although he was being sarcastic, I knew I should walk out of the brainwashing
center with righteous thoughts. Another policeman said, "If you continue to
practice Falun Gong, which is against our country, we will send you to a labor
camp for three years." I answered, "I practice Falun Gong so that I can be
healthy and a better person. Why is that against our country? Why doesn't our
country want its citizens to be healthy? Doesn't our country want to have more
good people? Good people should not be sent to forced labor camps." Police
Officer Wang said, "I read Zhuan Falun and watched many of your truth clarifying
VCDs and materials. But since our country does not allow the practice of Falun
Gong, why not just give it up?" I replied, "I cultivate Falun Dafa, practice
Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance, and treat everyone with kindness. That
is not wrong. Every one of us needs Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance.
Whoever are against Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance will meet with
karmic retributions. Please choose a wonderful future for yourself." He smiled.
During the 6 days of the brainwashing class, the police used various means to
threaten, tempt, and attack me, but all failed. Police Officer Ding from the
"610 Office" said, "If we cannot transform you, we will report you to our upper
level!" Facing this threat, I was not concerned, because the evil has
nothing to say about my path, "This is because the principles of Dafa
prohibit it, as the nature of the universe governs everything." (Falun Dafa,
Essentials for Further Advancement, "A Brief Explanation of Shan").
During this time, I looked for chances to escape, but many bad notions kept
surfacing, such as: Would the persecution escalate once they found me? Was I
adding unnecessary troubles for my family and relatives? These notions prevented
my righteous thoughts from being stable and strong at all times, and I could not
find a chance to escape. Finally I calmed down, looked inward, and was able to
recognize that it was the mentality of fear that was giving the evil a loophole.
Teacher said in "Dafa is Indestructible", "...any
attachment of fear is itself a barrier that prevents you from reaching
Consummation, and is also a factor in your being "reformed" toward the evil side
and in your betrayal." (Falun Dafa, Essentials for Further Advancement II)
At that point I sent forth righteous thoughts, first to eliminate all the
bad thoughts and fears that were interfering with me, and then to eliminate the
external evil factors that were interfering with me. I affirmed to myself that I
am a Dafa disciple, I came down here from the heavens to help Teacher do Fa-rectification
and save sentient beings. I am not here to be persecuted in jail. On the sixth
day, I decided to walk out of the evil's den.
That night, I sent forth righteous thoughts so that all of the guards would
fall asleep and not wake up. At midnight, they all fell into a deep sleep. I
knew Teacher was giving me this chance to walk out. I went to the yard and saw
that the gate was locked, but no one was around, so I climbed over the wall.
Under the protection of Teacher, I safely walked out of the evil's den.
