(Minghui.org) Human nature is inherently good at birth. Because people retain this innate kindness, our compassionate Master has repeatedly extended time and endured suffering for all beings.
Dafa disciples are doing their utmost to reveal the truth during tribulations, to save those with kindness. The following is a list of such encounters to validate Dafa.
Encounter One
When my husband and I were suddenly arrested and our home ransacked, I was held in solitary confinement, guarded by a young policeman. This sudden turn of events jolted me awake. I began looking inward to understand why such an event occurred. I realized resentment and a desire to show off were to blame.
Abruptly, a series of coughs interrupted my thoughts. I looked at the young man guarding me—he was about the same age as my own child. His coughing became more intense. My heart ached for him and I asked, “Son, you’re coughing so badly—have you taken any medicine?”
He looked up at me, and perhaps seeing my sincerity, the trace of hostility and coldness he held then vanished. He said, “I am taking medicine, but it doesn’t seem to be helping” I replied, “A lot of people have lung issues these days. Don’t wait—get some IV fluids.” A smile touched his face as he politely said, “Thank you, auntie.” Feeling relieved, I told him, “We Dafa practitioners haven’t done anything wrong. I hope you become a just and kind person.” He looked at me with an expression of helplessness and deep sympathy.
After I was sent to a detention center for “interrogation,” I saw this young officer a second time. This young man and another officer were there. The moment he saw me, he said, “Auntie, do you recognize me? I listened to your advice. I got some IV fluids and feel much better now.” I smiled at him and reminded him to remember what I’d told him.
The third time I saw him was the day I was released on bail. He and the station chief came to see me. Through the glass window, the moment he saw me, he waved, as if greeting a long-lost relative. I waved back cheerfully. He said, “Auntie, I am listening to your advice.” I again urged him to always be a righteous and kind person.
Encounter Two
On the day the two police officers who participated in persecuting us sent my husband and me to the detention center, they found 200 yuan in my husband’s pocket. He handed it to me to take, but I told him to keep it. We both thought of each other, each insisting the other take the money.
One of the officers said, “You both are really good people.”
I replied, “Good people like us end up here. This is a crime against us. What will become of you in the future?”
“Maybe. We’re just following orders from above.”
There was one very vicious young policeman. The moment I started telling him the facts, he started yelling that he’d take me down. When I went to the hospital for a checkup and tried to tell the doctor the facts about Falun Gong, he wouldn’t let me speak, snarling that he’d deal with me.
I looked at him and sighed, saying, “Ah, this kid...” Perhaps he felt my genuine concern. From that moment on he never raised his voice at me again, and his tone grew much kinder.
That day, I went back to the police station to retrieve my belongings. As I was leaving, I ran into him. I smiled and greeted him: “Hey officer!”
“What are you here for now?”
“To get my belongings.”
Just as we were talking, a car drove by. He shouted, “Watch out! Watch out for the car!”
His tone carried genuine concern for my safety. As I stepped away from the station, I felt the sky was exceptionally blue and the air refreshingly crisp. I was deeply comforted by this transformation in his life.
Encounter Three
The deputy director of the detention center was also a kindhearted person. We had a long conversation, and she said sincerely, “If I were the boss, I would definitely choose to hire people like you.”
When she told me she had arranged my release on bail, she said sincerely, “You didn’t pull strings or bribe anyone, but we decided to release you on bail and send you home. We hope you never have to come back here again.”
I knew this place was never meant for us. Everything is decided by Master. The old forces sought to destroy me because of my attachments and shortcomings. But Master saw that I still held onto righteous thoughts, so He turned the situation to my advantage, transforming adversity into opportunity.
Encounter Four
There was a fierce yet beautiful female guard at the detention center who once yelled at me, “Do you know when you’ll die?” I replied, “No one knows when they’ll die. As the saying goes, life and death are predestined, and fortune lies in the heavens.” She fell silent.
On the day I left the detention center, she was on duty. She looked at me and, in a genuinely concerned tone, advised me to get a thorough medical checkup after returning home and to believe in science a little. The fierce glint had vanished from those large beautiful eyes.
Since my husband remains detained, upon returning home, I’ve been running with my relatives between the police station, detention center, Procuratorate, and court. Through writing letters and submitting legal materials to clarify the truth, my fear gradually diminished—as if it decreased a little with each encounter.
I was once a very fragile person, heavily burdened by fear and lacking strong righteous thoughts. Through this ordeal, Master’s compassionate protection and ingenious arrangements allowed me to truly experience the omnipresence of Master’s compassion and the solemnity and sacredness of Dafa. I also came to realize the seriousness of cultivation.
I deeply regret that for over twenty years, I chanted “Dafa is good” daily yet failed to cultivate truly. My practice was superficial—I did not study enough Fa, failed to internalize the Fa teachings, and let Fa study become a mere formality.
This led to poor cultivation states, and weak righteous thoughts in my actions. This is my greatest regret: lacking sufficient righteous thoughts to dissolve this evil persecution. I began to use every available moment to study the Fa more. Every word penetrated my heart, and I saw principles of the Fa that I hadn’t seen before.
When I sent forth righteous thoughts, I thought of those in the public security, procuratorial, and judicial departments who, by not understanding the truth, had undermined Dafa and committed sins. What would become of them in the future? I became teary. I didn’t feel any resentment towards them, only regret and sorrow.
My boss’s wife saw me and said, “You look worn out. I’m so heartbroken.” My coworkers nearby were teary eyed. My boss’s daughter said that I was known for my kindness. They all knew Falun Dafa was good, but under the evil Party’s rule, they dared not speak out.
I also wrote letters to my husband’s workplace and my child’s school leadership, hoping the head of my husband’s work would write a letter attesting that he is recognized by everyone as a good person, which could have a positive impact during his court defense. When I approached their leaders to explain my purpose, they readily agreed. Discussing the hardships my husband faces inside, I couldn’t hold back my tears.
The accountant at his work, a kindhearted person, witnessed this and comforted me with tears in her eyes. After I left, she walked me out and stood outside the door until I was out of sight. I marveled at how the understanding side of them all made wise choices for their future.
When I got home, my brother and sister-in-law looked at me with tears in their eyes and said, “It’s so heartbreaking to see you like a lone goose.” I said, “I’m truly fine. Others may see my hardship, but I believe only those without the Fa are truly suffering. I’m no longer the fragile person I once was. I have the most magnificent Master. The Fa resides in my heart. I am the happiest person in the world. It is the Fa that has given me unwavering willpower and the courage to face adversity.”
My niece burst into tears upon seeing me. I kept telling her the facts about Falun Gong, and finally she too developed righteous thoughts. She said, “Auntie, my support for you has grown from twenty percent to eighty percent, and now it’s one hundred percent.”
My nephew hugged me tightly and cried, “Auntie, seeing you makes me feel at ease. I understand you and support you. You must cultivate well.” I replied, “My dear, those are the most heartwarming words I’ve heard this New Year.”
After enduring trials and tribulations, the once fragile me has grown strong. Facing adversity, I am no longer afraid, but instead remain optimistic and resilient. I often reflect: had I not encountered Dafa, I would have drifted aimlessly in this morally declining society. It was compassionate Master who rescued me, purified me, and reshaped me. How fortunate I am! May this boundless gratitude fuel my dedication to cultivation—to cultivate myself well and assist Master in saving others!
