When Facing the Persecution with Righteous Thoughts - Police Are the Ones Who Are Afraid
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Heilongjiang
(Clearwisdom.net) One morning in August 2006, I was reading the Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party and some
"truth-clarification" materials about Falun Gong when I heard a police
car approaching. Soon after, I heard knocks on my door. I immediately became alert. I walked into the small room and closed the door.
My wife opened the door to our apartment, and two policemen came in. The
Teacher's photos were hung on the walls of both the living room and the bedroom.
There were also many Dafa books on the bookshelf. Four copies of Zhuan
Falun were on the table in the living room. My wife brought a couple of chairs to the entry area and asked the police to
stay there. She called me to come out. I knew that this was interference from
the evil, and that I must have righteous thoughts to block them from entering my
room. I had a thought to eliminate the dark minions and rotten spirits behind
them and to save them. Because Teacher's photo on the bookshelf faced the
entryway, I left the door ajar. My wife and I continued to clarify the
truth of the persecution to them, and did not give them a chance to take a
break. The police seemed really weak. They said, "Don't say anything in public.
If you want to clarify the facts to us in private, that is fine." I said,
"I was illegally sentenced to several years in prison, and was fired from
my job. I don't even have an income. What else do you want?" They said,
"This has nothing to do with us." At that time, I did not have any
hatred in my heart. I thought that it would be the best for them if they did not
continue to do evil. I asked them, "What do you want from me now?"
They said, "We need to verify your residency." Then they asked for my
phone number. I said, "Are you trying to tap my phone line? The Chinese
communist party spent 4.2 billion yuan to censure the Falun Dafa
websites, but they were not able to do that." The two policemen said,
"How do you know everything?" I told them that of course I knew. Because we had strong righteous thoughts, the police didn't feel comfortable
staying long. They said, "Your home is too hot. We have to go." Our
compassionate Teacher protected us and gave us strength. As a result, the evil
was not able to implement their persecution plan this time. On the same day, the police arrested several other practitioners in our area
using the same excuse of verifying residency. Our Fa study, group practice, and
truth-clarification work was interfered with to varying degrees. Some
practitioners left the area to stay with their relatives. We also had such
thoughts. Several other practitioners told us we should leave while we could.
They said this round of arrests was targeting those who had been detained before
[which was the case for us]. Through studying the Fa, I came to understand that to completely negate
interference and persecution by the old forces, we must not hide. The sentient
beings we need to save are here. This time, the local police carried out a
large-scale search and arrested about a dozen practitioners. I have been
illegally sentenced to prison terms in the past and, having paid such a high
price, should be clear-headed. As a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple, I
must completely negate the arrangements of the old forces, and not accept the
illegal persecution the old forces try to lay on us. The key is to study the Fa
and send forth righteous thoughts more. Dafa practitioners' reason to exist lies
in validating the Fa. The Teacher said, "Dafa disciples, you are golden light in the mortal world, the hope of
the world's people, Fa-disciples who help Master, and future Fa-Kings."
("Congratulatory Message") Only when we cultivate ourselves well and accomplish the historic mission of
Dafa disciples will we deserve such high honors given to us by Teacher. This
time, several practitioners from our area were arrested. It was partly because
of their own omissions, and partly due to the lack of cooperation among the
local practitioners, which the evil was able to exploit. One of those arrested
belonged to our local team. She kept telling us she was scared, but we did not
pay enough attention and did not help her to improve her understanding of the Fa.
I am therefore also partially responsible for the persecution she encountered.
We did not realize the severe consequences of the attachment to fear until we
paid very high prices. Another practitioner said that those who were arrested
had omissions in certain regards. The old forces thought they did not meet the
standard, so the old forces started another round of persecution. I don't think
this understanding is on the Fa. Isn't this accepting the old forces'
arrangements? The evil old forces are not worthy of testing Dafa disciples. We
want to save all sentient beings, yet the old forces want to destroy all
sentient beings. To accomplish our grand vows and walk well the path arranged by Teacher, we
must do well the three things that Teacher asked of us, break through all
interference by the old forces, and validate Dafa. |
