What I Did When I Was Arrested

By Shan Yuan, a practitioner in Weifang City, Shandong Province

(Clearwisdom.net) On September 8 at around 9:00 a.m., four young men walked toward me on the street. I stopped my bicycle, took out a pouch that contained protective amulets, and started talking to them about quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They stopped and listened. Suddenly a police vehicle arrived. Three police officers got out and took away my little pouch.

I said, "The pouch contains Falun Dafa amulets. You can take them and give it to other people if you like. The police have helped Jiang Zemin commit unforgivable crimes. Learn that Falun Dafa is good, and you may have a good future."

One of them said, "Ths persecution was started by the CCP." I replied, "That's why the heavens will destroy the CCP, but you can save yourself by quitting the CCP." He asked, "Who can destroy the CCP?" I answered, "The heavens and heavenly beings can."

One of them made a call to summon more officers to arrest me. I tried to talk to him, but he refused to listen. Master's article, "To the Chicago Fa Conference," came to mind: "Whatever you experience during your cultivation--whether good or bad--is good."

I thought, "Letting go of attachments, there is no life or death; letting go of my life and death, I am no longer attached." I was not afraid a single bit. I walked over to a tree, sat down in the double lotus position, and sent forth righteous thoughts.

A long time passed, but they still were unable to get any more police officers to come, so they tried to persuade me to go with them. I would not move. So the three officers carried me while I was still in the lotus position. I relaxed my position and got into the car. I thought, "Everywhere I go, the evil will be destroyed."

At the police station, I sat on the bench, and before they started talking, I sat in the double lotus position, closed my eyes, and sent forth righteous thoughts. An older officer asked me, "What's going on?" I did not answer. He asked me to drink some water, but I still did not answer him. He told a younger officer to watch me and left.

Later, the police officer who had arrested me said, "Ma'am, please stop practicing. Tell us your name, and we'll let you go." I still did not answer him. Finally he said, "Ma'am, I'll return the pouch. Your key is inside. We are keeping the amulets, but we are returning your car keys and hat."

As I was leaving he said, "Take your time and walk slowly." So I left without saying a word and rode back home on my bicycle at 11:30 a.m.

I treated it as if nothing had happened, and I continued doing what I had been doing. In "Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005," Master said, "Who should actually be afraid of whom?" It is indeed true.
