The Righteous Overcomes the Evil - Stories from a Drug Rehabilitation Centre

Jiang's regime has frequently detained healthy, innocent Falun Dafa practitioners in drug rehabilitation centres, sparking resistance both from the public and from Dafa practitioners. The following are stories of what happened in one such drug rehabilitation centre.

Kind-Hearted People Stand up for Falun Dafa

During the Chinese New Year in 2001, female division No. 2 of the drug rehabilitation centre called a meeting. Chief Liu viciously slandered Falun Dafa. At once the practitioners stood up and called out, "Falun Dafa is good! All Dafa practitioners are good people." A group of police officers and drug abusers started to beat the practitioners. A policeman dragged me by my hair from the conference room all the way to the office. A bunch of my hair was torn out and I collapsed to the floor. One police officer tried to stop the beating, and a group of male drug abusers in the cells across the hallway shouted, "Stop beating Falun Gong practitioners! They are all good people, Falun Dafa is good!" Chief Liu was scared and immediately left. Since then no one has called any meetings to slander Dafa.

The Power of Acting Together as One Body

All practitioners that were detained in the drug rehabilitation centre agreed that it was wrong to detain us there, we should not acknowledge the persecution against Falun Dafa and Dafa practitioners. As a result, we refused to wear the uniforms that were assigned for drug abusers and refused to answer when our names were called. Whenever the drug abusers were called into a meeting, we would recite ON Buddha Law from Zhuan Falun [The main text of Falun Gong] and Hong Yin [A collection of Master Li's poems] together loudly. We also insisted on practising the five sets of Falun Gong exercises every day.

If the police beat any Dafa practitioner, the rest of us would gather in the big hall to practise the exercises together and request that the person who tortured Dafa practitioners be brought to justice. More than 40 practitioners here joined together as one body to work together. We documented the facts of the police abuse towards Dafa practitioners, and inserted messages of "Falun Dafa is good" or "Falun Dafa is the righteous way" into products that we were forced to make. The products were shipped all over the country and the centre received feedback about the messages. The police didn't dare do anything about it.

Anytime someone came to the centre to visit or inspect it, we would shout, "Falun Dafa is good, we are being abused." Though the police strictly controlled the use of pens in the centre, truth-clarifying slogans could be seen on the walls. When the police interrogated us and asked us to sign interrogation records, we tore the records to pieces.

When the police wanted to shock Dafa practitioners with electric batons, all practitioners would recite Teacher's Hong Yin together loudly,

"To live with no pursuits, To die with no regrets; Extinguish all illusory thoughts, Cultivating Buddhahood is not difficult."

The police put aside their electric batons and begged us to stop the reciting.
