The Best Thing to Do is to Simply Follow What Teacher Says

My celestial eye is not opened, but over the last ten years of my cultivation in Falun Gong, I have experienced many magical things that before my cultivation I could not have even dreamt. I would like to share some of my experiences and understandings with fellow practitioners. My hope is that we might strengthen our righteous thoughts and faith and advance together to accomplish our historic mission.

On the evening of May 27th, 1996, my colleagues invited me to watch a college student debate. When I arrived at the college, I could not find my colleagues. Instead, I found that a Falun Dafa study group was about to begin. I went into that group meeting and that is how I began cultivation in Falun Dafa.

I was thrilled when I first learnt the Falun Gong teachings, the Fa! My tests began after I started my cultivation. No matter how hard I worked, it seemed as if my colleagues always picked on me - seemingly for no reason. Previously, I did not work as hard and yet no one found fault with me. Funnily enough it was when I began to make changes in myself that people started to find fault with me. As the conflicts escalated, I remembered that Teacher told us to look inward. I wondered if I needed to let go of my strong attachments to competitiveness. Amazingly as soon as I enlightened to this, the people who had problems with me seemed to have forgotten what happened and started to act nicely toward me. This is the first time that I experienced the wonders of Falun Dafa.

Since July 20th, 1999 when the persecution of Falun Dafa illegally started in China, many practitioners stepped forward to appeal. On December 9th, 2000, I also went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing and shouted from my heart, "Falun Dafa is great! Restore my Teacher's reputation!"

One police officer took me into the tower at Tiananmen Square. I said to him, "I came for your own good." He did not assault me. A short while later, another police officer brought in a practitioner and beat him brutally. I shouted, "Police officers should not hit people." The police let the practitioner go and said to me, "Police officers should not hit people? Watch me strangle you to death." Then he came over to choke me. My mind was blank at the time and I just stared at him. He continued choking me until all of a sudden he let go, turned around and left.

The police car came-by to take me to the Tiananmen Square police station, where other practitioners were being persecuted. When I went in, no one was there to register me. After I sat there for awhile, a practitioner came over to ask me, "What are you doing here?" I did not know how to answer. Why am I here? It was Teacher using the practitioner to remind me to leave, but at the time I did not enlighten to it. A short while later a policeman came over to ask why I was there. I didn't answer. He then locked me up in a cell with many other practitioners. It wasn't until after I was put into the cell that I understood that I should leave, but my human notions were stopping me. Then I asked to use the washroom. The armed policeman guarding the cell told me to wait. Soon afterwards, more practitioners were brought into the cell. As soon as the gate was opened, I squeezed out. The policeman shouted at me and asked what I was doing. I replied that I needed to go to the washroom. He yelled at me to "hurry up." I went to the washroom and waited in line a long time before I could actually go. As soon as I was done and came out, I saw a line of police officers waiting to use the washroom, including the one who was guarding the gate. I merely followed a police officer who was walking ahead of me and went right out of the door behind him. That very same night, I got on the train to returned to my hometown.

Before I went to Beijing, I said to Teacher, "I am going to Beijing to validate Falun Dafa. Please arrange my path for me." When I got back, I enlightened that Falun Dafa is truly boundless and Teacher is able to do anything for us. As long as I do what Teacher asks me to do, everything works out for the best.

February 4th, 2002, (Spring Day on the Chinese Farmer's Almanac), was the first Falun Dafa Day in our city. The government posted many signs attacking Teacher and Dafa on this day. To safeguard Dafa and prevent sentient beings from being poisoned, some of us took down most of the signs the next day. In the evening, I took down the rest of the signs and was caught by a passing police officer. After four days I was taken to the detention centre. After arriving, I said to Teacher, "Teacher, so many people are waiting to be saved and I also have a lot to do to shown my stance towards Falun Dafa. I cannot be stuck in here. Please help me leave here." They gave me a physical check-up at the detention centre and the doctor at the centre required that I be taken to a hospital. When I was done and brought back, the doctor insisted on prescriptions for the report, so the police had to return me to the hospital. The police officers were relatively young. So I thought, if one was busy answering the phone and the other was talking to the doctor, that would be a great opportunity for me to escape. Shortly afterwards, the cell phone of the police officer sounded and he answered it and then the other policeman started to talk with the doctor. I turned around and ran away.

When I left the detention centre it was 11 p.m. There were many plainclothes and uniformed police officers in the area. The police vehicles were patrolling the street. The wind was blowing hard. I fell into a big puddle on the street and was soaked up to my waist. I did not feel cold at all, but I was afraid that the police might catch me. With fear and suspicion, I was caught by the police. They thought I was distributing truth clarification materials. After I got to the police station, I became calm and unafraid. I thought, I do not have a place to stay, I might as well stay here. Two police officers were watching me. One put my down jacket under his head and went to sleep, while another sat nearby to watch me. I quietly thought about what my problem was and than slept the rest of the night. When I woke up, it was five o'clock. I thought, I can't wait any more. So I started to send forth righteous thoughts that the policeman who was sleeping would go into a deeper sleep and the one that was sitting near me would fall asleep. Soon, the officer who was sitting could not stay awake anymore and told the other policeman to watch me while he slept. The sleeping officer grunted and the other one just went to sleep. Five minutes later, I took my jacket from beneath the police officer's head and opened the door. Then I pushed on the iron gate of the police station and it opened a crack. I left without any problems.

After escaping I went to a relatives home where I studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts for three days. I began to contact my family. My wife told me that she went to the police station to ask for me and that even my work unit pressured the police station to show proof of the legal documents regarding my arrest. At first they tried to threaten my family members, but failed since my family members were not afraid of them. Then they said that as long as I had already returned to my home that they would cancel the legal proceedings.

After studying the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts, I had a lot of compassion. I felt that as long as I was in the Fa, no one could move me and so I wanted to go back to the police to clarify the truth and save them. I returned and clarified the truth to the director of the police station and the police officers. The director was very touched. He shook my hand and we wished each other a happy new year.
