Rescuing My Husband with Righteous Thoughts
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Mainland China (Clearwisdom.net) In the spring of 2006, local 610 Office
agents arrested my husband and illegally sentenced him one year of
forced labor. He was forcibly "reformed" soon after and often called
and wrote to me urging me to give up cultivation. His cultivation state was not
good before this incident as he was not diligent. Since he was the center of my
life I was initially confused; then I quickly woke up. I knew it was the power
of Dafa that enabled me to extricate myself from this incident. I studied the
Fa, had discussions with other practitioners and quickly improved
myself. As I continuously improved my xinxing, nothing concerning
my husband could interfere with me. A coordinator said we should get him out.
Master does not give up on a single practitioner; we should not give up on him.
We knew that once we got him out he would be able to recover under the influence
of our righteous field. Then we prepared rescue details, and the coordinator
informed local practitioners to send forth righteous thoughts. A few of us
gathered together and studied the Fa, exchanged our thoughts, considered things
from the Fa and were determined not to be deterred by false impressions.
Moreover, we should keep calm and compassionate during this visit. No matter how
we may find him, we should treat him kindly, viewing him as a practitioner who
needs help. Our goal of this visit was to awaken his mind, to completely
eliminate evil elements that persecuted him and help him to be able to come home
soon. In those days during the time of sending forth righteous thoughts I often
felt sleepy. We realized it was interference from desperate evil beings. On the
afternoon prior to visiting day, when I was about to leave home for the trip, I
felt something lay down on my chest. In my mind I said, "You must not
interfere with me! You will die when I go there! My trip is to rescue him and
awaken his spirit. Moreover, I will only go there once; this one time I will
settle this issue!" After those thoughts, that entity on my chest
immediately disappeared. On the way to the train station I got car sick, though I had never been car
sick since I practiced Falun Gong. I felt dizzy and had a headache. I knew it
was that factor trying to interfere with me. I asked Master to support me with
divine powers and felt a little better. After I got onto the train the symptoms
became worse. Not only did I feel dizzy and had a headache, but I also felt
sleepy. I could not open my eyes. I took out an mp3 player to listen to the Fa,
but my head was still heavy. I thought this was not right; it would suppress my
main consciousness, and my righteous thoughts would become weaker. I sent a text
message to my coordinator, telling my current situation. The coordinator replied
to take it easy; that nothing would happen, and encouraged me by saying,
"Everything was under your control, and we are with you." Later on,
when I returned, I heard they had sent forth righteous thoughts for a long time
to support me after hearing of my plight. Because of our close cooperation, my
mind became clear when I left the train. That night in a hotel I meditated for
forty minutes, and my mind became even clearer. I constantly reported my current location to the coordinator during this trip
so they had a target when sending forth righteous thoughts. The next day I saw my husband at the labor camp. I had not seen him for a few
months. His hair had turned gray, and he also had lost a lot of weight. I
silently said to the evil forces, "No need to let me see this, because it
all an illusion and false! You cannot affect me." My husband was excited
when he saw me and said, "How come you came? I will go home next week. Last
evening, they made an announcement of my sentence reduction term!" I
immediately understood this had happened because we as a group had done the
right thing, and Master had helped us. I asked him, "Do you know why they
made the announcement last evening? It was because I came!" Then he said,
"Did they (National Security) come to look for you? They said they wanted
to send you to a labor camp." His comment did not affect me, and I did not answer him. I knew the evil
wanted to test my mind. If I followed a little, my mind would not be on the Fa,
and evil would exploit my attachments and reach their goal of using and
controlling me. I reminded myself, "I must be constantly aware of who I am.
We have our Master! We are cultivating, to become a lord or king at different
levels; how could the rotten demons frighten me? It is now a battle between good
and evil! If I stay calm the evil will be eliminated." "Did your
mother complain about me?" he asked, "My family can't say anything if
I do everything well," I replied. My family could not understand him initially, following my husband's arrest.
They even asked me to divorce him, saying we made trouble for our workplace, and
we were against the Communist Party. I had a lot of pressure from my family. Later, reading Master's teaching, "So long as you, a Dafa disciple, do things righteously, you will
transform the environment around you, and you will change people."
("Teaching the Fa in San Francisco, 2005") I realized our immediate environmental conditions depend on Dafa disciples.
Then I spent more time to study the Fa and constantly strengthened my righteous
thoughts. I would not be affected by people around me, and I repeatedly
clarified the facts to my family members, showing them materials that clarify
the facts. Their attitudes toward Dafa changed. They quit the CCP and its
affiliated organizations, and my father and mother started to study the Fa. My husband then asked, "Did you come by yourself? Does your family
know?" I said, "I am in charge. I can make my own decision what to do
and how to do it." He asked, "You must have noticed that I lost
weight." "You will gain weight after you come home," I replied.
Then he said, "You see my hair has become gray." "The hair can
change back to black once you come back," I replied. I just wanted him to come back to Dafa, which would change everything.
"Did you get my bicycle back?" he asked. When he was arrested from
work his bicycle was left there. I had already retrieved it. I knew many of his
words were controlled by the evil. I refused to let his mindset affect me and
said, "It is not worth much! We can buy a new one." He said, "Let
me see you closely; we have not seen each other for months." "I saw
you every day; only you could not see me," I replied. I sent forth
righteous thoughts for him every day. He said, "Last evening after they
announced the reduction of my sentence term I could not sleep well. I have
started counting the number of days left since last November." "You
have stayed here for too long! A good person should not stay here," I
replied. Before I left him, I said, "You just take care. Do not think too
much and come home soon!" During this whole conversation whenever I did not speak I sent forth
righteous thoughts. When I did speak, I spoke from the standpoint of the Fa to
eliminate evil elements and not be enmeshed in his thought process. I feel this
is very important; only this way can one completely reject the old forces'
arrangements. When we encounter a problem, support and encouragement from fellow
practitioners is crucial! During the period that I went to the labor camp our
coordinator sent many messages to encourage me, telling me everything would be
okay, and they were together with me. Thus I was always calm. Moreover, what
made this trip so smooth was fellow practitioners constantly sending forth
righteous thoughts. Some practitioners continued doing it for forty or fifty
minutes; the longest was eighty minutes. Thus it only took us one time to
completely eliminate the evil elements that persecuted my husband. Their support
from righteous thoughts enabled him to return home three months sooner. My purpose of writing this story is to tell our practitioners no matter what
the practitioners who have been poisoned do, if we act properly, we can change
everything. Through this rescue experience I also noticed some practitioners went to the
labor camp to visit their practitioner family members. They were very
cooperative with the police there. For example, when the police wanted to check
their belongings, they quickly opened their bags and willingly followed their
requests. Our practitioners are suffering the persecution inside the prisons. We
should treat it with righteous thoughts to deny the evil arrangement, otherwise,
we give the evil energy by acknowledging them. Some practitioners brought in many bags of food, thinking the jailed
practitioners were suffering inside and did not have enough food. I consider
this human notions, made up of emotions. This was also a way of acknowledging
the evil persecution. I did not buy much for my husband this time because I did
not think he should stay there any longer. I did not accept the evil persecution
from the beginning. I think as long as we have a strong belief in Master and the Fa, we shall
follow the path Master has arranged and we shall be able to overcome every
obstacle and pass every tribulation. January 14, 2005
