(Minghui.org) I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1999. Over the years, my righteous thoughts grew stronger and stronger, even though I stumbled from time to time. After an experience last summer especially, I feel more deeply that Dafa is boundless and Master's grace is vast.
Searched by Police on a Train
In May 2014, I was going home by train after visiting my son. An officer came to check my ID. He scanned it and said, “Ma'am, did you go to petition?” I said, “No.” He asked, “Do you practice Falun Gong?” I said, “I do. What's wrong with that? Isn't it good to be a good person?”
Another officer came. They searched my bag and found three Dafa books and some truth-clarification materials. I told them, “These are mine. Don't touch them.” Several officers surrounded me and took pictures of me. I told them about Dafa and the persecution and shouted, “The 'Tiananmen Square Self-Immolation' was a hoax staged by the Communist Party.” I noticed passengers nearby were listening.
I knew it was an opportunity to save people by explaining the facts. The police interrogated me for half the night. I kept telling them facts about Dafa.
They didn't want me to talk, but they couldn't stop me. In the end, they wanted me to sign a document. I said, “If I sign it, that proves that you are persecuting Falun Gong.”
Clarifying the Truth at a Railroad Police Station
The next morning, I was taken to a railroad police station after getting off the train. They wanted to interrogate me. I refused to cooperate with them. One officer punched me in the back a few times.
I said, “I do things by following 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' How can police beat good people? I used to have all kinds of health problems, and Falun Gong changed me. You know Falun Gong practitioners are good people. Why do you still persecute them?”
Later, two female officers came. I explained the facts to them. They said, “Oh, so that's what it's all about.”
Validating Dafa at a Detention Center
At a detention center, I was told to have my picture taken. I refused to allow it and told them the facts about Dafa. I kept reciting the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts. Every day, I did the five exercises and looked for opportunities to talk to people in the cell about Dafa. I also asked them to quit the Communist Party.
Later, I was ordered to work outside. I figured that there were many male detainees there to be saved, and I should save them.
When it was time to go to work, a guard shouted at me, “Put on the uniform!” I said, “I'm not a criminal. I won't wear it. I am a good person who practices 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' Good deeds are rewarded, and evil is punished.” From then on, the guard never told me to wear a uniform.
At the outside worksites, male and female detainees were kept separated. I thought, "I am a practitioner, and it would be a crime if someone interfered with my clarifying the truth." I started sending forth righteous thoughts, disintegrating the evil, and asking Master to reinforce me. I looked for opportunities to contact other detainees and clarify the facts to them. Seventeen or eighteen people quit the Party. The guard didn't interfere with me anymore.
After dinner, a guard asked me if I would stop doing the exercises. When I said I couldn't,” he said, “Then do it before 9:30 p.m.” I agreed. Later, another guard came and said, “Put on a uniform. The supervisor is coming to inspect the cell.” I said, “I won't. I'll explain it to your supervisor.” He said no more.
Later I was transferred to a detention center in another city. Detainees there had meals in one room. I used this opportunity to convince two people to quit the Party and its affiliated organizations.
One day, a young guard said, “No food for you if you don't wear a uniform.” I said, “I won't wear a uniform, and I can eat since I am not a prisoner.” He then murmured, “Go eat.”
The Environment at the Detention Center Changed
Later I was transferred to a detention center in a neighboring county. I again refused to have a picture taken. Officials there were furious: “How did you end up here? No place wants to take you.”
I said, “So why don't you let me go? I didn't break any laws in the first place. I do things according to 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' It was for your own good that I didn't do things you told me to, so you were not involved in persecuting Falun Gong. It was for you and your family's safety and security!” I gave them examples of CCP officials who persecuted Falun Gong and received karmic retribution.
The head guard said, “Don't get angry with her. Let her go if she doesn’t want to have her picture taken.” I knew this was the result of Master's merciful protection.
Every morning the detainees had roll call, and everyone was required to wear a uniform. I didn't do either and was cursed again and again. I told them, “It's all for your own good that I don't wear a uniform or answer to my name. It is to prevent you from persecuting Falun Gong.” They left without saying a word.
I did the exercises every night. The guard saw me but didn't say anything. Before doing the exercises, I always said to Master in my heart: “Master, I want to do the exercises. No evil is allowed to interfere with me.” No one ever came to stop me.
Two weeks later, I left the detention center, having been protected by merciful Master and reinforced by fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts. I deeply experienced Master's and Dafa's vast grace.
Master said:
“When disciples have ample righteous thoughtsMaster has the power to turn back the tide”(“The Master-Disciple Bond” in Hong Yin Vol. II)
Master's words accompanied me for that half month and helped me overcome many tribulations.
