Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts to Rescue a Fellow Practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) In September 2005, the Falun Dafa practitioners in our
local area coordinated as a group to rescue a female practitioner who was
imprisoned. I would like to discuss how we improved our xinxing
while rescuing this practitioner. On the day that this practitioner's relatives went to the prison demanding
her immediate release, local practitioners went there also and sent forth
righteous thoughts in close proximity or sent forth righteous thoughts from
their homes. Several days later, we heard that the prison did not release the
practitioner. I thought since we were not able to rescue her there must be some
problem with our "xinxing". I reflected on myself but could not find
the problem. A couple of days later, Master enlightened me through a
practitioner's article published in "Minghui Weekly." When I received
the news regarding the rescue of our fellow practitioner, my first thought was,
"I must get her out." The thought appeared quite righteous, but it was
not based on the Fa. Deep down there was selfishness behind it, as I
put myself first. Since I want to validate myself instead of Dafa, the result
was predictable. The local practitioners expressed their opinions. One practitioner who
cultivates with his celestial eye open stated that the conditions in the
practitioner's home were not good. There were bad things in her home. Someone
else said that if the fellow practitioner did not have righteous thoughts inside
the prison then whatever we did outside would be a waste. I suddenly remembered the rescue we carried out in the spring of 2003. The
practitioner was on a hunger strike and was sent to the hospital where the
persecution continued. A group of us sent forth righteous thoughts to rescue
him. After two weeks, someone asked whether we were still sending forth
righteous thoughts. Some of them said that they had forgotten and others had
stopped. I made up my mind that no matter what others did, I would keep sending
righteous thoughts until he was free. Several months later, another practitioner
came to tell me that the practitioner walked out of the hospital with his
righteous thoughts. I was deeply moved, I witnessed the power of Dafa. No matter what conditions the practitioner has in prison, no matter what
others think of her, she is a disciple of Dafa and Master and that is enough. I
would keep sending forth righteous thoughts until she was free. At that moment,
I felt a loud "tong" from my head to my feet. The strong righteous
thoughts shook the surroundings of my universe. I thought, "Since you are
all beings of my universe, please send righteous thoughts with me until she
comes out. Master enlightened me from the Fa once more. Master granted me the mighty
power; I should use it to rescue the practitioners who are illegally
detained. As long as there is one practitioner in prison I will keep
sending righteous thoughts. The more practitioners that are able to walk out of
the prison with righteous thoughts, the more sentient beings they will be able
to save.
