Denying The Old Forces' Arrangements and Returning Righteously to My Hometown

(Clearwisdom.net)

The following is an experience of a Falun Dafa practitioner in Mainland China:

I was persecuted by Jiang's regime and forced to leave my hometown for about a year. During that time, even though I followed Teacher's three requirements to study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts, and clarify the truth, I still felt something was not quite right with my cultivation environment. This was particularly so when it came to clarifying the truth to save sentient beings. I was unable to act naturally when doing so and the scope of my truth clarification was very narrow. In my hometown, I knew a lot of people and was very familiar with the surrounding environment, but the local Public Security Officers were looking for me and had publicly announced that the first thing they would do if I came back would be to fine me 10,000 Yuan (the average monthly income of a Chinese worker is around 500 Yuan). Therefore, I was unable to return home to clarify the truth to the people there.

When I read Teacher's recent lectures, I suddenly realized that while I was traveling around outside my hometown, I was unable to fully live up to my potential in clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings, and that this was definitely the old forces' arrangement to try and interfere with and persecute me. I decided that I could no longer agree with this arrangement and that the old forces did not have the right to test or so-called "examine" me. At this moment, I pressed my two hands together in front of my chest with tears rolling down my face, and asked Teacher to help me to righteously return to my hometown and save the sentient beings there.

Two days later, I received a phone call from my sister telling me that it would not be long before I could come home because my son's friend had helped to settle things with the Public Security Officers. She also told me that the Public Security Section Manager of the Political Department, the one who had persecuted me the worst in the past, had just been fired.

After a short period of time, I was indeed able to openly and righteously go back to my hometown. The police didn't bother me and I had a very good cultivation environment. I know that human efforts alone definitely could not have achieved this. The true reason that allowed all of these sudden changes to occur was the one pure thought that I had back then. Because of that one thought, Teacher was able to help me break the old forces' arrangements and save more sentient beings. This is the power of righteous thoughts, and it is Teacher's great compassion to give me the chance to save more sentient beings. How can I not live up to Teacher's expectations of me?
