"I Truly Believe That Instead of Three Years, I Can Go Home in Three Days"

By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

A fellow practitioner began to practise in 1998. Some time in May 2002, when he was passing out truth-clarification flyers with another practitioner, police illegally detained them at a detention centre. Police tried to force them to write a "letter of repentance" and a "letter of guarantee." The practitioners kept in mind what Teacher said, "No matter what the situation, do not cooperate with the evil's demands, orders, or what it instigates." ("Dafa Disciples Righteous Thoughts are Powerful" from Essentials for Further Advancement II)

They resisted the evil persecution and never yielded. Two months later, they both received their court verdicts. One practitioner held his court verdict and said, "I am sentenced to one year in forced labour camp. Since two months have passed already, I can go home in ten months." He also held the other practitioner's court verdict and said, "Take a look at yours. You are sentenced to three years in forced labour camp." The other practitioner said steadfastly, "I am not going to look at it, they have no right at all to sentence me to a forced labour camp. I practise Falun Dafa. I truly believe that instead of three years I can go home in three days."

At the medical examination centre, this practitioner said in his mind, "please give me more strength, let my heart beat speed up a little bit faster. This place is not where our practitioners are supposed to stay, I want to get out of here." Right away he started feeling dizzy and his heartbeat accelerated. He ended up being sent back home due to failing his medical examination. He has now has begun clarifying the true facts of the persecution again.
