(Clearwisdom.net) Last year, the 610 Office illegally arrested me and took me to a brainwashing center. When my fellow practitioners were informed of this, they immediately exposed the facts on the Minghui website. At the same time, they arranged for practitioners from different areas to simultaneously send forth righteous thoughts. Some practitioners also came into close proximity of the evil's den to send forth righteous thoughts. With Master's compassionate protection, my fellow practitioners' rescue efforts and my family's persistently asking for my release, I was able to leave that place.

It has been one year since this occurred, and I realized that I should record my experience. It is for fellow practitioners who are still trapped in the dens of evil that I have decided to write about my experience.

The Great Effect of Fellow Practitioners' Righteous Thoughts

During my first days of detention, I was weak and sleepy. Perhaps there were too many evil factors, or the guards may have put drugs in my food. As I look back now, I think it was mostly because my righteous thoughts were not strong enough. My mind was in a chaotic state. I could not concentrate on anything. There was pain all over my body, in my hands, wrists, chest, throat, tongue, bones and joints. It seemed like my body was going to break into pieces. My own thoughts were not so righteous. At that time, my family and fellow practitioners did not yet know that I had been arrested.

Several days later, I suddenly felt warm currents going through my body. The energy field suddenly became strong. My mind also became clear. Soon I followed the warm current to send forth righteous thoughts and eliminate the evil. The warm current grew stronger every time practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts worldwide at the fixed times. At that time, I thought that it was because my mind was righteous.

Every time we sent forth righteous thoughts worldwide, the "helpers" assigned to monitor me at the brainwashing center had some reason to leave me. Sometimes they went to the washroom, sometimes they were asked to leave and sometimes they felt depressed and wanted to get some fresh air. This gave me a chance to sit in the lotus position and raise my hand to send forth righteous thoughts. Sometimes I had time to do the exercises.

I was very pleased when the 610 Office officials printed out and showed me an article from the Minghui website that called for righteous action about my arrest. My fellow practitioners' righteous support accomplished this. As I looked at it, I suddenly felt a warm current going through my body. I felt the compassionate protection from benevolent Master for a Dafa disciple! I felt that Dafa practitioners worldwide were acting as a whole body, and that their righteous energy field gave support to me! Suddenly, my righteous thoughts and confidence rose up. I felt a spirit as lofty as a rainbow spanning the sky.

With practitioners' righteous support, I felt that Master was near me and fellow practitioners were supporting me from afar. I was no longer alone. My thoughts became more and more righteous. I also saw the power of righteous thoughts. The guards no longer dared to persecute me mentally or physically. They did not dare to show me videos or materials which slandered Dafa. I did not obey them any longer. I refused to write the three statements. They told me that I was being "treated specially."

Calls from Practitioners Outside of China Frightened the Evil

The chief of the local 610 Office also told me that their telephone numbers were publicized when their crimes were exposed on the Minghui website. One night, calls from practitioners outside of China made them unable to manage the phones. Calls from Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, the United Kingdom and other places solemnly told them not to follow the CCP's edict to persecute kind people who believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. They were told that if they did so, the WOIPFG (World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong) would insist on investigating the criminal conduct of all institutions, organizations and individuals involved in the persecution of Falun Gong to the end. The practitioners' calls frightened them. The 610 Office's evil actions were exposed. Calls to their workplaces and homes made the evil most frightened! The calls could stop their evil actions. The 610 Office and the brainwashing center staff said they did not know what to do with me. They did not want to detain me, but they could not release me either. They said they were not willing to release me because I did not write the statements renouncing Falun Gong, and doing so would be breaking their rule. They could not answer to their boss, then. However, the righteous energy field of fellow practitioners rendered them unable to persecute me. Finally, they released me after more than twenty days of detention.

Detained Practitioners Are Still Persecuted by the Evil

In the brainwashing center, the old forces gathered many rotten demons and evil factors. From what I saw and what the "helpers" told me, the practitioners in detention were seriously persecuted. Practitioners were not allowed to sleep. They were forced to watch videos and read materials that slandered Dafa, and they were forced to write the statements. Usually seven or eight gathered around one practitioner to "transform" him or her. Some practitioners were given injections of poisonous drugs. The buildings and rooms were specially constructed. During the daytime, curtains that blocked the sun's rays were drawn, and practitioners inside did not know if it was daytime or nighttime. The evil actions there can hardly be known by the outside. I heard that one female practitioner suffered from a mental collapse seven or eight days after she was taken there. The persecution of Dafa practitioners was still occurring. I think it was mostly because the information of their arrests was not exposed and other practitioners were not able to support them.

My xinxing and cultivation level is limited. I have the problem of needing to validate myself. This was the main reason why I was arrested. Even after being rescued by fellow practitioners, I still thought that it was my righteous thoughts that made the release possible.

During the past year, I gradually realized the severity of my need to validate myself, with help from studying the Fa and cultivating. One of my fellow practitioners said, "You were grabbed out from the den of monsters!" The word "grab" reminded me to look inside myself and throughout my experiences to find my shortcomings and attachments. That prompted me to write this article.

Let us together send righteous thoughts toward the evil to support our fellow practitioners and eliminate the evil. Let us together end the wicked persecution happening in China.
