Pure Compassion Shocks And Frightens those Persecuting Falun Gong Practitioners

My illnesses disappear

I started practising Falun Dafa in 1994. I had numerous illnesses before: a chronic cough, infections in both ears, swelling of the neck, and hyperplasia of the knees. In 1977 I suffered side effects from a high fever while giving birth. The pain that I felt throughout my body made me consider suicide several times. I tried just about every available treatment, from doctors to special healing recipes and practising various forms of Qigong (exercises for cultivating "qi" or "vital energy") but they could not completely cure my diseases. I was fortunate to attend Teacher's class in Zhengzhou City in 1994. Teacher personally purified every practitioner who attended the class. My mental and physical health took a decisive turn for the better, and all my ailments soon disappeared. From that point on everything worked out well. I attended group Fa (law or principles, the teachings of Falun Gong) study and practised the five sets of Falun Gong exercises daily. I always made sure that my work and household chores were managed in good order. I only needed to sleep for about five hours but felt lively and almost weightless. My family and colleagues all sensed my transformation.

Standing up to let more people know the facts

The dictator of China, Jiang Zemin, and his regime started the nationwide persecution of Falun Gong on the 20th of July, 1999. How could someone who had benefited so much from practising Falun Dafa ignore this. It was only natural for me to go and peacefully appeal for a stop to this persecution. I therefore went to Beijing twice to appeal. Having the teachings of Falun Gong embedded in my heart together with Teacher's blessing, I never wavered in my faith in Falun Dafa and in Teacher whilst in front of the evil, regardless of the tricks and tactics they tried on me. I firmly believed it is never wrong to practise "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." I was never afraid in front of the police.

One day in July of 2003, someone reported me to the police while I was distributing materials containing factual information about Falun Gong. The police interrogated me using various tactics, but I refused to cooperate with them and calmly told them the facts about Falun Gong. When they asked my name, I simply replied, "Falun Dafa practitioner." I continued sending forth righteous thoughts and asked Teacher to reinforce and strengthen my resolve. After five hours of interrogation by four policemen, they found out nothing from me.

In the evening they sent me to a detention centre. In the detention centre I joyfully told the facts about Falun Gong to every inmate in the cell. They told me that it seemed strange that I was so worry free while they felt each day in the detention centre was like a year. The detention centre deputy asked, "How can you be released without telling us your identity--" I smiled and told them, "I will leave here after all of you understand the facts." The detention centre deputies all laughed.

I truly experienced the power of Falun Dafa as well as the blessing and protection of Teacher. Out of 50 people in the cell, only two or three of them did not accept the facts and interfered with my practise. But they were soon transferred to another cell. The police station sent someone to ask me whether I had thought it over on two separate occasions. I told them, "I already told you, my real identity is a practitioner with resolute faith in Dafa. The righteous task that I am doing is to tell everyone the facts about Falun Dafa." The deputy jokingly said, "You treated me as a friend yet you won't tell me your name." I smiled and replied, "I will tell you after I leave the detention centre." He nodded agreeably. The next morning the deputy called for the "Dafa practitioner" to gather their personal belongings and prepare to be released. Several inmates came to me to say goodbye, "You must be extra careful after getting out. We all believe Falun Dafa is good."

After thirteen days, I walked out of the detention centre with righteous thoughts. Even though I still fall short of the standards set by Teacher and other diligent practitioners, I will do better and fulfil the goal of a qualified Dafa practitioner during this period.

Please allow me to solemnly use Teacher's poem "Hurry Up and Tell Them" for mutual encouragement:

"As Dafa disciples tell people the facts,
It's like sharp swords shooting out together from their mouths,
Shredding apart the rotten demons' lies.
Lose no time and save them, hurry up and tell them."

The above is my personal understanding. Please kindly point out any deficiency or lack of understanding.
