Experiences Clarifying the Truth in Jilin Province: In One Village Practitioners Now Practice Openly By Xi Cheng, a Falun Dafa Practitioner in Jilin Province
(Clearwisdom.net) The persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners was very
severe in one of the local Townships in Jilin Province. After Teacher's article,
Exposing the Evil Happening Locally to the Local People (With Master's
Comments) was published on Clearwisdom, several practitioners
wrote their personal accounts of being persecuted and exposed the local police
and other perpetrators' conduct. At the same time, they found information that
exposed some criminal actions of the local authorities and published it as part
of the truth clarifying materials. Large quantities of posters and banners
saying, "Falun Dafa is good," "Falun Dafa is Righteous," "Bringing Jiang to
Justice Around the World" were also produced. Several dozen Falun Dafa
practitioners acted together, posting these materials all over the Township
Government areas and the Police Substations in each village.
A few days later, the Township Government and the Police Substation sent
representatives to several severely persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners' homes.
They openly apologized for their past misconduct, and even sent flour and oil to
these families to express their sincerity. Many Township Officials and police
found the truth of Falun Dafa, and their regret for their misdeeds helped the
local residents see the power of justice.
People automatically went to practitioner's homes seeking information on the
truth Falun Gong and some even started to practice Falun Dafa. This atmosphere
also encouraged local Falun Dafa practitioners. More and more practitioners have
been able to put away self-interest and go out into the community to clarify the
truth, saving sentient beings. Practitioners cooperated together to form one
harmonious indestructible body. This also influenced and encouraged fellow
practitioners in the surrounding area.
The practitioners did not stop there, but went further in spreading the truth
of Falun Gong and the persecution. One man went to the Township Government,
requesting that they reimburse him for the money that had been extorted of by
the authorities. Knowing the truth of this situation, the Township official is
contacting the upper levels in the city government on his behalf, and is trying
to solve this problem. Some practitioners wrote a heart-felt open letter to all
of the Township officials and sent it to the Township Office. In the letter they
told these officials that even though Falun Dafa practitioners are facing a
persecution of historic magnitude, we as cultivators do not have any hatred for
or grievance with anyone who was involved, including those who conducted the
torture. Practitioners' only wish for them is that they can come to know the
truth. The letter also revealed how Falun Dafa has spread widely in the world,
and it included some true stories of good being rewarded with good and evil
being met with retribution. The compassion of Falun Dafa practitioners moved
each official's heart. This letter is being passed around each department in the
Township.
There used to be a very wicked director in the Township Police Substation.
After local and overseas practitioners revealed his brutal and illegal actions,
his wife questioned him. He first told his wife that he never did bad things.
But his wife said, "That seems impossible. If you did not do any bad things, why
are so many practitioners calling our house from overseas, let alone local
practitioners giving us flyers? They told us that good is rewarded by good and
evil is met with retribution. They are trying to persuade you stop doing bad
things and to treat Falun Dafa practitioners kindly, and mend the bad deeds with
good ones." The director could not speak a word during his wife's questioning.
One day he said loudly in a farmer's market to all the people there, "I will
never do harm to Falun Dafa practitioners again."
There is a police officer that used to beat Falun Dafa practitioners. Once
when he went to have a police vehicle repaired he happened to see that a Falun
Dafa practitioner he had beaten up before was having a tractor fixed. That
police officer recognized him and dared not raise his head, parking his vehicle
off to the side. The repairman wondered, "How come he dares not raise his head
in front of you?" The Falun Dafa practitioner replied, "He dares not show face
to people since he has done so many bad deeds."
At present most Township workers understand what Falun Dafa practitioners are
doing. Some officials have told practitioners quietly that their truth
clarifying materials will be very safe if they are posted around the Township
offices. The materials have been there for several months now and no one has
touched them.
There is a small remote village that used to have an environment that was
very negative toward Falun Dafa practitioners. After the group effort of
clarifying the truth, Falun Dafa practitioners are now doing the exercises
openly and in public places. Under the righteous energy field, all of the
village leaders that had joined in the persecution have been voted out, and all
the new village leaders are supportive of Falun Dafa. Posting date: 6/16/2004 |
