Divine or Human Thoughts Result in Very Different Outcomes

By a Dafa disciple from northeastern China

(Clearwisdom.net) I was deeply moved after reading articles on Clearwisdom written by other practitioners about righteous thoughts and righteous actions, which reminded me of two incidents that happened to me in 2004.

The first incident was when our truth-clarification materials distribution site was disrupted. I wanted to go to the site to study the local situation before discussing with fellow practitioners what to do. When I left a practitioner's home, I walked about 200 yards and then got in a taxi. However, two people jumped into the taxi with me and refused to get out. I immediately realized that I was being followed. At this time, Master's teachings rang in my mind, "Just by staying unaffected you will be able to handle all situations." ("Teaching the Fa at the Conference in the Midwest-U.S.") They asked the taxi driver to take them to their destination first. I was not afraid, my mind was empty, and I did not turn around to look at them. When the taxi arrived at two different destinations, they refused to get out and redirected the taxi to a small shop nearby. I immediately realized that even though Dafa disciples are compassionate, we also have a dignified side. The materials production site was only 300 meters away. When the taxi reached the small shop, I said sternly, "Shouldn't you get out now?" They hurriedly scrambled out of the taxi. As the taxi pulled away, there was a car following us and I could also see another police car further behind.

The second incident was when I was delivering materials to a fellow practitioner. When I returned a phone call to another practitioner, someone eavesdropped on us. In less than ten minutes, my home was broken into and I was arrested in my rented apartment. Nine days later, I walked out of detention with the help of many practitioners' righteous support and with strong belief in Master and Dafa.

These two incidents made me realize that divine or human thoughts result in far different outcomes, and that "selflessness and altruism" ("Non-Omission in Buddha Nature" in Essentials for Further Advancement) is the correct attitude for Dafa disciples faced with persecution in the Fa-Rectification period. We should look inside whenever we face any problems, and we should also measure each and every thought and deed according to Fa principles and do well the Three Things.
