The Song "Falun Dafa Is Good" Resounds Throughout a Prison Cell during the Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday, the day for a reunion of the entire family. However, I spent this day in a detention center. There were 16 people in my prison cell, four of them Falun Dafa practitioners. On the day of the festival, those of us confined together in the same cell voluntarily held a small literature and art celebration, each one of us making a small presentation. When it came to my turn, I sang, as loudly and clearly as I could, "Falun Dafa is good, Falun Dafa is righteous, the Buddha light illuminates everywhere!" Then, everyone in that prison cell joined together to sing with me, "Falun Dafa is good." I also sang "Deng Gui Tu" and "De Du." Another practitioner recited poems praising our great Master's suffering and hardships while offering salvation to sentient beings. The poems also expressed the hope that the prisoners would see the truth early and have an infinitely beautiful future. The practitioner who recited the poems was later illegally sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment in Dabei Prison, Shenyang City.

Dafa practitioners' clear voices were solemn and benevolent, echoing to all the corridors in the detention center and warming every heart. The prisoners broke into tears that showed their appreciation and respect for the practitioners and their yearning for Falun Dafa.

An illiterate woman from a rural area in Anhui Province learned to sing "Falun Dafa is Good," and her singing can be heard every day in the detention center. Another prisoner said, "I will practice Falun Gong once I get out, and I will help you promote Falun Dafa." One after another being was saved, because the Buddha light of the universal Dafa had already illuminated them. Even though many practitioners in China are facing inhumane torture and persecution, we do not feel we are suffering. On the contrary, we feel so happy to live during this great epoch, when we can assist Teacher during Fa-rectification and in every moment be bathed in Teacher's great benevolent care. Teacher's benevolence is vast and mighty!

The celebration ended, but the beautiful memory will forever remain in everyone's heart. With the blessings and guidance of Teacher, Falun Dafa practitioners are creating the glorious future and composing the brilliant pages for the new universe.
