Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

Negate the old force's arrangements with righteous thoughts: My experience of breaking through tribulations. One morning, six or seven police broke into my home and ransacked everything. At that time I had three boxes of Dafa materials, VCDs and books there I sat down and sent forth righteous thoughts, and I had only one thought in my mind, "Master, I can't let them take away the Dafa materials."

The police took away my son and I, and also our computer. In the police department they handcuffed me and forbid me to sleep. I kept righteous thoughts. My family came and asked about my son and me, and my son was released that same day. Later, when they sentenced me to three years of forced labor I thought, "I will never acknowledge any of this persecution." On the fourth day I walked out, in an open and dignified manner. During those four days my thoughts were simple and can be summarized with two words, "firm belief." Because I was righteous, the surrounding environment, including my family environment also changed, along with my righteous mind.

Use righteous thoughts and righteous actions! Take solid steps in Fa-rectification.

On November 23, 2001, I went to Beijing again to rectify the Fa, and two police officers arrested me and sent me to the Qianmen Police Station. I erected my palm and eliminated the evil with righteous thoughts, and I thought, "This is not where I should stay. I should walk out in a dignified manner to continue to do what a Fa-rectification practitioner is supposed to do." I sent forth righteous thoughts continuously and I made the three police who were watching me to fall asleep, then I walked out of the police station in a dignified manner.

On Chinese New Year's Day I saw a Dafa-slandering banner hanging in front of the Street Committee. I thought, "I can't leave it there to poison people's minds. I'll have to take it down tonight." I had a slight fear, though. I tried to calm down, studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts, and I realized that if I had any fear, the beings below me would be more afraid. My future level should be the level that I will achieve today through cultivation. I strengthened righteous thoughts. Before I left home, I sent forth righteous thoughts again and completely and successfully destroyed the banner. My wife told me that she felt the evil field above our area was completely eliminated.

Returning to the path of Fa-rectification:

In August 2000 I practiced the Falun Dafa exercises outside and was arrested and sent to a detention center. At first I wrote a statement under high pressure and against my true will, saying I'll stop practicing, but later I realized it was a mistake. Soon, I showed high blood pressure symptoms, and the thugs were afraid and they released me. In early January 2001, my sister and I went to Beijing to rectify the Fa, and at the train station the vicious police asked everyone to curse Master. We were sent to a police department because we refused to curse. After we were sent back to the local police department, we heard we were going to be sent to the Masanjia Labor Camp. I thought, "What you say doesn't count. Only my Master's thoughts count." When the police asked us whether we would still practice, we answered we would practice until the end. After a twenty-day detention we were released. As long as we give up all attachments, Master will protect us at all times and nothing will happen to us.

Truth About Persecution

I am a Dafa practitioner from Weifang City, Shandong Province. Before practicing Dafa, I was a well-known "medicine barrel," but all my illnesses disappeared after I began cultivation. I went to Beijing twice to appeal and was illegally arrested, detained and extorted money. I held a hunger strike to protest and was tied to an iron chair and force-fed. After I was released, my work unit supervisor illegally detained me. I walked out from their detention. I was forced to leave home and roam about. On May 23, 2001, I was arrested when distributing truth materials and was detained in the Sipinglu Police Station, the Kuiwen Detention Center, the Changle Labor Camp in Weifang City, No. 2 Female Labor Camp in Shandong Province, respectively. I held hunger strike(s) to protest and was brutally force-fed. I was not allowed to sleep and I was severely tortured, both physically and mentally.

The vicious guards at Jilin City Birch-skin Factory brainwashing class brutally beat Dafa practitioners; they obstructed Dafa practitioners from sending forth righteous thoughts and doing the Dafa exercises. Practitioner Yang Lihua didn't watch the T.V. program about the Sixteenth Congress, and the vicious guards pulled her from her bed to the floor by her hair. A bundle of her hair was yanked out. The thugs also extorted 1,200 Yuan "monthly fee" from us. Practitioner Wang Guangmin couldn't afford the fine, so the police drove to his home and took his stored rice. They are indeed a group of burglars!
