By a Dafa practitioner from Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net)

"His palm erected, the whole Cosmos shakes. A grand Buddha stands between Heaven and Earth." (Hong Yin)

When we send righteous thoughts with a pure mind, how could everyday people be able to interfere with us? How could the evil dare to persecute us? That is why I send forth righteous thoughts. I stopped the guards in the hallway from moving and blocked the vision of the inmates on watch in front of me. I then did the five sets of exercises from start to finish freely without any interference. After that I let out a thought of "releasing supernormal powers". This way, I have never been stopped for doing the exercises, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the facts during my ten months of detention.

While facing the evil, although I did not have the books, our great Master has never stopped helping us. Since practitioners in the women's ward had ways of obtaining Master's new articles, I added a thought during my sending forth righteous thoughts, "Master, your student wants to memorize the new articles." And then it miraculously happened. The restroom of the women's ward had a drain blockage, so they temporarily became our neighbors. Thus I obtained a lot of new articles and quickly memorized them. Each day during my Fa study, I gained a lot of new understandings. When I recited the article "A Suggestion," I realized I should save the inmates and guards who have committed crimes against us. I am good at talking and writing, so I should help people from all walks of life get to know and understand the truth of Falun Gong.

In "Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A.", Master said,

"When a cultivator's mind departs from the Fa, the evil will find its way in."

I understand that we should send forth righteous thoughts all the time and use Buddha's divine power against the evil. The police became speechless under my righteous thoughts. I began clarifying the facts to them. From a physics standpoint, I talked about scientific proof of the existence of other dimensions, and let them know of the universal truth of the consequence of doing good or bad. When I clarified the facts to the criminal inmates, I analyzed for them some unreasonable cases that were shown in the news reports. I explained to the police the seven doubtful points in the staged "self-immolation case" and talked about the so-called "attack" on the SINOSAT satellite. I remember one day a military policeman found a pile of toilet paper with new articles on them. He asked what they were. I replied with righteous thoughts that they were letters to my family. Then a jail guard who had learned the truth asked the military policeman to leave me alone, as he knew they were the new articles. I realized that as long as we do everything according to the Fa, follow Master's teaching, and have righteous thoughts and righteous actions, the persecution will no longer exist.

In the jail, except for not being in a condition to do the second set of exercises for very long, I never stopped doing the other sets of exercises. I would erect my palm when I sent forth righteous thoughts. Although my cell has a zoom surveillance camera, I made it useless with righteous thoughts. Soon I was transferred to a cell without a camera. Our minds should be pure and concentrate when sending forth righteous thoughts. There was even a period of time when I was doing the fifth set of the exercises. There were more than ten people in the cell, and I always had a feeling that I was in a different dimension from them.

In this way, I never stopped doing the three things during my several years in jail. As my righteous thoughts were strong, when an inmate monitoring me reported to his supervisor that I was doing the exercises, the supervisor did not believe him, and even hit him. He experienced several types of karmic retribution, but I did not give up on him and tried to remove the dark minions behind him. Finally he said one day, "You can do your exercises, I shall watch for you and I will pretend not to see it when they pass the articles to you."

Every year around May 13 (World Falun Dafa Day), the jail would increase the degree of monitoring. One night when I was doing the exercises, a patrolling inmate came over and asked me what I was doing. I looked at him while sending forth righteous thoughts at the same time, and said that I was doing the exercises. He just turned back and walked away.

In the jail, I did not forget the responsibility of Dafa disciples during the Fa-rectification period. I did everything according to the Fa, restrained and eliminated the evil with righteous thoughts, and utilized the wisdom I got from understanding the Fa to save every person I met. Even if I did not have a chance to talk, I would use my conduct to help him experience the purity and righteousness of a Dafa disciple. As for those people who refused to listen to the truth, I would send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate them. Immediately, some policemen suffered setbacks in their careers. Inmates got sudden karmic retribution, and they no longer dared to try to earn rewards by turning in practitioners, as the results they got were opposite to what they wanted.

Today I walked out of the jail with dignity. I follow the Fa and send righteous thoughts all the time. My words flow freely when I clarify the facts and save people one after another.

When I was in jail, I saw that some practitioners no longer had the Fa in their hearts, and their words and conduct gradually became like that of non-practitioners. They were often taken advantage of by the old forces. Today I write down my experiences to remind fellow practitioners to keep their minds focused, and calm down to study the Fa since all wisdom for clarifying the facts comes from the Fa.
