"Bearing Witness To History": Some Inspiring Scenes During Fa-Rectification By a Falun Dafa practitioner (Clearwisdom.net) I would like to share with you some of the many touching experiences that I
have had during that last few years of Fa-rectification cultivation. Appealing to Government One day before July 20 in the summer of 1999, thousands of Falun Gong
practitioners were appealing on the sidewalk in front of a local government
office in a city in Southern China. They were waiting quietly for a
representative from the Appeal's Office to appear, but after two hours of
waiting, what greeted them was several hundred armed police officers and over a
dozen police vehicles. The armed police officers blocked both ends of the street, preventing any
pedestrians or vehicles from crossing. The officers stood in two lines, with
only a few feet between them. They stood staring, with cruel expressions, at the
Falun Gong practitioners. They wore steel helmets and carried electric batons.
The atmosphere was very tense. Meanwhile, in contrast to the cruel and imposing manner of the police,
practitioners were standing peacefully and quietly. Younger Falun Gong
practitioners were standing at the forefront of the lines, allowing the elderly,
children, and women to stand behind them. Some elderly people were holding the
hands of their young grand children and some women were carrying little babies
on their backs. Some were reading Zhuan Falun and some were reciting
poems from Hong Yin. Suddenly the loudspeakers from the police van began shouting, "Those who
are willing to leave their fellow practitioners are free to go!" One minute
passed, two minutes passed, a half an hour passed, but no one left. No one
including fellow practitioners that were still coming and even the spectators
outside the demarcation moved a bit. It was as if time and space had been
frozen. The scene was so quiet and solemn. Practicing Falun Gong Exercises In a summer after July 20, 1999, a 4-5 month pregnant woman from a city in
Southern China went to Beijing by foot to appeal to the Central Government. In
the heat of the summer, she walked across half of China's landmass, enduring
much hardship on the way. After returning from Beijing, her baby was born
pre-maturely. Soon after her child was born, she went out again to clarify the
truth about Falun Gong by participating in a large-scale exercise event of more
than 100 Falun Gong practitioners in a park. During the second hour, as they were doing the standing exercises, the police
came. They forced practitioners into their vans. But this young mother did not
budge one bit; she remained in the standing stance below a big banyan tree. A
dozen police officers stood around her, two of whom were trying to force her
arms down. No matter how many times and how hard they tried to push down her
arms, she would raise them again. The police were surprised at her determination
and could do nothing but back away and stare blankly as she continued holding
her arms in the standing stance position. She stood as still as a jade
sculpture. Suddenly practitioners that had been thrown into the dozen police
vans began shouting, "Stop arresting people! Falun Dafa is Good!"
Their voices seemed to reach heaven and earth. The Fa-Boats Set Sail One time, while I was in a state of deep concentration during sitting
meditation, I saw countless gigantic Fa-boats carrying countless sentient
beings, ready to sail off. The golden colored Fa-boats were powerful and grand
beyond description. The front of the boats were tall and large; the boats were
so big that one could not see the stern. On board the ships were sentient beings
that had escaped the final disaster and entered the new world. They were
laughing, cheering, hugging, and crying tears of joy. The harmonious Buddha
light shone through the colorful clouds onto the beings' faces and bodies. It
was magnificent! Posting date: 10/31/2003
