One Night's Experience

One evening as I was distributing truth-clarifying materials, I saw a motorbike parked at the roadside, so I inserted a truth-clarifying booklet into the seat belts. Shortly after my arms were suddenly forced behind my back by two men. They were bending my arms while saying "You will go with us! You are a Falun Gong practitioner, and we are from the police station." I realized that two plainclothes police officers had ambushed me at the roadside. They arrested and took me to a guardhouse and took several booklets from me. They then started questioning me and called their leader to report their progress.

I immediately clarified the facts about Falun Gong to them. After their leader came, I tried to persuade them to quit the CCP (Chinese communist party). One hour later, they transferred me to a police station. In the hallway at that police station, several officers were guarding criminals.

I was not afraid at all. Sitting there, I was thinking about what aspects I didn't do well, allowing the evil to come in. Usually when I distributed truth-clarifying materials, I maintained righteous thoughts. Whomever I faced and wherever I was, I enhanced my righteous thoughts and was without fear or the attachment of zealotry. Today, however, I was obviously slack, careless and with the attachment of zealotry. Immediately I understood that it was not because I distributed truth-clarifying materials that I was arrested, but because I had omissions that the evil had a chance to take advantage of and thereby interfere. I was doing a most righteous thing, and the police had no reason to persecute me. I wanted to go back, as I needed to attend the Fa-study group on the following day. There were a lot of things I needed to do. If only I had enough righteous thoughts, I could get through this ordeal. I then erected my palm and sent powerful righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil factors. I felt that Master was around me. I was very calm and felt that the righteous thoughts were filling every level of space.
At midnight, the police officer in charge came to me. As soon as he saw me, he told me frankly, "We didn't mean to arrest you Falun Gong practitioners. It is because of our bosses that we have to do it. We are just doing our job." In the office, I had a conversation with him.

On my way back to the hallway, I felt very happy from the bottom of my heart that he had shown kindness. I clarified the truth to another police officer who kept nodding to me while walking to the hall. After midnight, I was still sending forth righteous thoughts while several police officers surrounded me. They were very surprised that I could be so calm and erect my palm for such a long time.

At around 3:00 a.m., I stood up and started to do the exercises in front of the officers. The surrounding was very nice. I could feel a strong righteous field. Two hours later, when I stood up, a prisoner asked me why a Falun Gong practitioner had such a good attitude. I replied that Falun Gong simply teaches people to be good, and an upright man isn't afraid of anything. One policeman took my words to continue, "Yes, an upright man isn't afraid of anything." The prisoner said emotionally and sincerely, "I will turn a new leaf in the future. I won't do those bad things. I will sell eggs to earn my living after I go back." I was thinking that its true that the Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities.

When dawn came, I walked out of the police station. What a common but unusual experience in one night. I feel that the speed of Fa-rectification comes faster and faster which greatly changes the circumstances. More people are becoming aware now. I deeply realize that as Master said, whatever a practitioner encounters is good, that the key to handling affairs is one's mentality and righteous thoughts, and that if we have good mentality, we will pass any tribulations we encounter.
