Stories of Validating the Fa with Righteous Thoughts
By a practitioner from Shandong Province
(Clearwisdom.net) I have read many amazing stories in "Minghui
Weekly" (Clearwisdom Weekly) about resolving dangers encountered in Fa-validation
with righteous thoughts and actions. I also recall quite a few such instances
happening to the practitioners in my own workplace while they were doing the
three things and following Master's Fa-rectification
progress. Therefore, I wanted to compose an article concerning these stories.
However, due to various mental obstacles I could not get started. I knew that if
I did not write this article, I would be sorry to both our benevolent Master and
fellow practitioners. Now I'm trying to break my mental obstacles and share the
stories with others. My level is limited so please kindly correct me if there
are inappropriate understandings. Practitioners in our workplace have always worked well as one body. Doing the
three things since the persecution began in 1999, we have shared experiences and
studied the Fa together, distributed truth-clarification
materials, clarified the truth, and helped people quit the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) and its associated organizations. We can work well as individuals or
as an integrated body. We have cooperated with each other and done well. There
are still some weaknesses in our cultivation, and we have found some loopholes
in individual cultivation and encountered some dangerous situations.
Fortunately, we have safely gotten through them by means of righteous thoughts
from the entire body. One morning in 2001, practitioner A gave some truth-clarification materials
to a local vendor. When she left, the vendor reported her to the police. The
police stopped practitioner A on her way back home. In 2002, practitioners B and
C went to local villages to distribute materials. They were traced and arrested.
Practitioners A and B were subjected to "transformation" effort by
officials in their workplaces, but they used their
righteous thoughts to protect themselves. When practitioners A and B were
jailed, we always had practitioners visit them in an upright and aboveboard
manner. We consoled them and encouraged them to walk out with righteous
thoughts, and we also sent righteous thoughts for them. The guards on watch were
confused. They couldn't understand why we weren't frightened. A man from the
Public Security Bureau heard about this and commented, "In other work
units, when one person was arrested, the others would be scared and wouldn't
dare make themselves known to the policemen by visiting the arrested
practitioners! I would like to check what kind of persons these people
are." In the end, he did not get the chance to see any of us. In autumn 2003, a practitioner was interfered with because she did not pay
attention to sending righteous thoughts and having a clear mind. When she went
out to distribute truth-clarification materials, she was arrested. Her work unit
took her back and confined her in a small room. When the other practitioners
heard about this, they immediately informed everyone to send righteous thoughts
every hour. At that moment her mind cleared, so she did not cooperate with the
authorities and refused to ask her family to pay a "fine" of ten
thousand yuan, and did not sign the interrogation record. Instead,
when she got the chance, she sent righteous thoughts and clarified the truth to
the police. They decided to send her to a brainwashing center three days later.
The night after she was arrested, a blast of pain awoke her and she asked the
guard watching her to open the door and let her go to the restroom. From the
moment she was arrested, she knew that she could never followed their
arrangement and had to get out. On the way back from the restroom, she checked
the surrounding environment. The wall was too high for her to climb. She had to
return to the guard post, but then she found that the door was open and there
was nobody in the courtyard outside. She suddenly realized that Master was
helping her to leave, and she left without hesitation. Another practitioner
said, "At that time, 12 o'clock, I was sending
forth righteous thoughts when I saw through my celestial eye that the door was
open, so I asked her to quickly leave." These miracles are from the
benevolent protection and care of Master and the power of righteous thoughts
from other practitioners. This July, people from the Public Security Bureau and the 610
Office came to my workplace and deceived a practitioner into entering the
security section in order to arrest him and take him away. They sent him to a
brainwashing center. All the practitioners intensively sent righteous thoughts
together. Practitioners who were from other workplaces and lived close to the
brainwashing center sent righteous thoughts in close proximity. This
practitioner firmly maintained his faith and never cooperated with the evil,
even protesting with a hunger strike. Some practitioners saw the evil being
eliminated and dissolve into a black liquid and fall to the ground like large
rain drops. It is true that the powerful field of righteous thoughts will defeat
the evil. The practitioner was released on the afternoon of the eighth day. There are quite a few similar examples. For instance, practitioner A's
younger sister was arrested and sentenced to three years in Wangcun Forced Labor
Camp. Practitioner A and her husband sent righteous thoughts every hour each
day. Her sister was jailed for twenty days and was eventually released from the
labor camp. The following are some other true stories I would like to share. In the spring of 2003, practitioner D and others went to a village to
distribute truth-clarification materials. It was safe most of time. There was no
barking of dogs as they distributed materials throughout more than half of the
village, and D walked to a family's housing compound
and put materials into the courtyard. At this moment, a big dog rushed out and
bit her leg. She was not scared and immediately sent righteous thoughts. The dog
barked weakly and opened its mouth, and then lowered its head and walked back
into the courtyard. She touched her leg and found her leg was not wounded. There
was not even a tooth print on it even though the bite had left a wet stain on
her pants leg. She left safely and continued to distribute the
truth-clarification materials. Another time D went to distribute truth-clarification materials, she found a
high-profile location to put up a truth-clarification poster. As she carefully
attached the poster, a man came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.
Her reaction was fast. She immediately turned around with her right hand up,
sending forth righteous thoughts. The man was surprised and ran away. There were two fights between righteousness and evil in the autumn of 2005.
The authorities brought a lot of evil poems and paintings that attacked Master
and Dafa, and then attached them to the wall of a building which was two meters
high and thirteen meters long. The practitioners anxiously discussed how to
eliminate this onslaught and stop these materials from poisoning people. At 11 o'clock
at night, a practitioner went to the wall. There was still some traffic at that
time as he began to remove the offensive materials. The paper was thick and hard
to remove. At the beginning, he used his nails to peel it off. But with more and
more paper off, he could remove them faster and faster. He knew that Master was
strengthening and helping him. He felt so happy that he forgot the fact that he
was tired. After cleaning off the evil poems and paintings, he checked the time
and found that it only took half an hour. The authorities did not acknowledge their defeat. Less than two weeks later,
they placed the evil paintings into more than eighty large frames and laid them
along the sidewalk. Many pedestrians stopped to look at them. Practitioners went
and clarified the truth to the onlookers face to face. Some practitioners
clarified the truth to the people who managed the exhibit and others distributed
truth-clarification materials. It became a good place to clarify the truth.
After learning the truth, many quickly left to avoid being poisoned. The
authorities saw that they could not achieve their goal, and had to quickly wrap
up. It was thus proven that evil cannot defeat righteousness. There are two more recent stories. A male practitioner was heavily attached
to fear after the persecution began, and even gave up cultivation. But he knew
that Dafa is good and returned to the path of cultivation and Fa-rectification.
To compensate the loss, he diligently studied the Fa, practiced the exercises,
clarified the truth, and distributed the Nine Commentaries on the
Communist Party. One summer day, he was pouring boiling water into a
jar, but the pot was so hot that he could not hold it. The boiling water poured
onto his feet but he did not feel pain, and he suddenly realized that Master was
protecting him. He excitedly told his wife that Master took a tribulation for
me. He checked his feet and found no discolorations or wounds. There is another story about a female practitioner. While cleaning the
streets, she felt dizzy twice but paid it no attention. After she finished and
returned home, she painfully laid on the couch, feeling dizzy and nauseous. She
could hear the noises in her skull, but she still wondered, "What did I not
do well? What is the evil using to persecute me? I could loudly ask for help
from Master and say that you are not worth persecuting me. I will not follow
your arrangement. I only follow our Master's arrangement'." She remained
for 10 minutes this way, until she gradually recovered. Then she sat up and sent
righteous thoughts. When her son returned home from work, he could see from her
face that she was unwell, so he checked her pulse and said, "How come I
cannot find your pulse? Let us go see the doctor now." She answered,
"Practitioners are different from ordinary people. How can you touch my
pulse? Take it easy. I will be OK in a while." She fully recovered by the
next morning. We have enlightened from these occurrences that on the path of cultivation
and Fa-rectification, if we trust and follow the Fa, bear the responsibility of
saving sentient beings, and maintain righteous thoughts when facing troubles,
Master will protect, take care of, and guide us at all times. Master said that
practitioners' righteous thoughts have great power.
Righteous thoughts sent either by a group or by individuals or even
spontaneously will manifest divine power and effectively press and dissolve the
evil, minimizing the persecution. Righteous thoughts are a powerful weapon and a
divine treasure that Master gave us to help fellow practitioners, save sentient
beings and save ourselves. Let us diligently study the Fa, send righteous
thoughts and take every step well during this final stage of Fa-rectification,
so that Master does not have to worry too much for us.
