My Experience Maintaining Righteous Thoughts

In March 2003, I was sent to the provincial forced labour camp. Because I refused to be "transformed," I was tortured in various ways. I was forced to sit in a certain posture and cursed at for long periods of time. I was only allowed to sleep for two hours every day and not allowed to practice the Falun Gong exercises. As soon as I would start to practice, inmates would take me by the arms and hold me on the ground. Every day I was mentally exhausted.

From the Fa I had learned that practicing the exercises was the best way to rest. I sat there thinking of doing the exercises and recited the Fa. I was thinking of my body in other dimensions doing the exercises and my body in this dimension doing exercises along with it. Master said: "matter and mind are one thing" (Zhuan Falun). Very soon I recovered. I was no longer tired or sleepy every day, nor did I have headaches. My body felt very good. My face turned from being yellowish to a healthy pink. Later on I learned from practitioners that reciting the exercise formulas was effective as well.

In the forced labour camp, practitioners were made to do hard labour. Every day they were exhausted. Some practitioners felt so tired that they couldn't help crying. Other practitioners realized that they shouldn't do the forced labour and stopped working. They were severely tortured and locked up in solitary confinement. They were also deprived of sleep. Because I was not "transformed," the guard didn't allow me to work in the workshop. I saw that practitioners were so tired and worked so hard. I then sent forth righteous thoughts for them and in my mind I didn't allow the guards to ask practitioners to go to work. In my mind I thought: "My body is huge and strong. I am sending out strong righteous thoughts. I do not allow the guards to make us work. Whoever asks us to work, he will have bad headaches." As a result, no guard asked us to work. Other inmates thought it strange that no one called upon us to go to work. The team leader walked up and down the corridor more than ten times, looked in every room but was not able to talk. People asked me what was happening. I said to them that I sent forth righteous thoughts and didn't allow them to summon us to go work.

But soon the guards changed their torture methods and placed practitioners from several teams who hadn't been "transformed" into one team and persecuted them collectively. They forced practitioners to sit on small stools for long periods. They didn't allow practitioners to have showers for one or two months. Practitioners had no choice but to relieve themselves within their cells.

In 2006, I was sent to the provincial forced labour camp for the second time. I had to work 16 or 17 hours a day and didn't go to bed until 2 a.m. I sent forth righteous thoughts every day. I thought in my mind: "Let the staff in the forced labour camp not sign any contract with outside companies. If they sign a contract, let them have headaches. If they deliver parts here, they will forget some parts so that the work cannot be done." I also thought: "If I make one dollar for you, you have to end up losing 10 or 100. I also ask Master and divine beings to help me." When we finished the work they had, they didn't have any more work for us. If they did give us work, they didn't deliver all the parts, always leaving something out. In this way we were not able to complete the whole product. Later on they took some work at a loss. The guards didn't get any bonuses from the work and we could only earn less than a dollar. They were really at a loss. But why did they still want us to do the job? They said that if we had nothing to do, they were afraid that they would not be able to manage us.

When my sentence was up, I sent forth righteous thoughts: "Do not allow officials from the public security bureau or 610 Office come to pick me up. Instead, have my family members come." As it turned out, my family members came on their own.

My personal experiences proved that righteous thoughts have supernatural power. I hope that practitioners will pay attention to sending forth righteous thoughts to stop the persecution.
