Guided and Protected by Master Every Step of the Journey

(Minghui.org) I was offering incense to Bodhisattva one sunny morning in the early spring of 1997, when my neighbor, Shen, stood at my door and said to me: “People don’t worship Buddha anymore, they cultivate Buddhahood instead.”

I asked in surprise, “Where can I do that?”

“Go to the park, there are Falun Gong [also called Falun Dafa] practitioners,” she replied, “Oh, Falun Gong practitioners cultivate Buddhahood.”

I got on my bike, went to the park, and found the Falun Gong practice site. The first thing I did was to get the book Zhuan Falun and learn the five sets of Falun Gong exercises. After reading the first lecture in Zhuan Falun, Master Li (Falun Dafa’s founder) solved all the questions in my mind that I had while cultivating Buddhism for 10 years.

Master purified my body after I did the exercises for more than 10 days. My lumbar vertebrae had invisible fissures, which would cause severe pain, and stopped me from bending down to tie my shoelaces. I suffered from insomnia, palpitations and depression. After only 10 days of practicing Falun Gong, I felt relaxed and light when I walked, and had a rosy complexion. I was so happy! I was determined to cultivate in Falun Dafa.

Doing the Exercises in the Police Station Yard

Two police officers came to my work place around noon on July 20, 1999. They didn’t say anything until I got off work. Then they told me I had to go with them to the police station. The head of the police station read the news to me from that day’s newspaper about Falun Gong. I was not afraid, and told him: “We practice Falun Gong, and cultivate our hearts to be kind and good people, improve our health, and have a harmonious family life. There are practitioners at our practice site who’ve recovered from cancer, hemiplegia, and heart attacks, which saved a lot of money for the country, themselves and their families. The government should thank Falun Gong, instead they banned it. There is nothing wrong with Falun Gong. The government must be wrong.”

They didn’t allow me to go home that night, so I did the sitting meditation there. The next day, I went out in the police station yard to do the exercises. The police were watching me. After finishing the first exercise, and about to do the second exercise, the police head ran downstairs, grabbed my arm and shouted, “How dare you practice here.”

I responded, “Falun Dafa has given me a healthy body and a peaceful mind, taught me to think of others first, and to be selfless. I can’t give up practicing Falun Gong!”

After two days of talking to the officers about the goodness of Falun Dafa and many miracles I experienced at our practice site, I walked out of the police station in an upright manner, and went home.

People Can’t Commit Sins Against Dafa

I overheard two young women chatting on the bus. One of them said, “I went to Hong Kong a few days ago, and saw Falun Gong practitioners handing out fliers at every scenic spot we went to.”

“The tour guide told us that they were all paid for doing that,” the other responded.

I thought I should let them know the truth, so I said kindly to them: “The tour guide was incorrect. Falun Gong practitioners use their own money to make the materials and distribute them to tourists, so people can understand the truth. Many people in China have received Falun Gong materials and CDs for free, which were made by Falun Gong practitioners using the money they saved.”

The two women stopped talking.

A man sitting in the middle of the bus said something bad about Master. I said kindly to him, “My Master has never asked me for a penny.” I couldn’t allow people to commit sins against Dafa and Master, so I closed my eyes and sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the old forces controlling the people on the bus. At that moment, I appeared to be extremely tall, and everyone on the bus was quiet, except for the sound of the door opening and closing when the bus stopped at the bus stops.

Clarifying the Truth in a Labor Camp

Because I have benefited from Falun Dafa, I would share the beauty of Dafa with people. However, I was reported to the authorities and taken to a labor camp for one year. I was not allowed to communicate with people in the camp, but I often found chances to talk to those I met.

The guards took turns trying to get me to renounce my belief, but I just clarified the truth to them one by one. I told them that Dafa has spread to more than 100 countries around the world, and has received thousands of awards from various countries. Besides that there are doctors, scholars and senior officials practicing Falun Dafa.

One guard asked why I believed Falun Dafa was so good, so I replied, “Cultivating Falun Dafa is the most honorable thing I have ever done.”

Another guard commented that my skin was so smooth and fine, and asked what kind of makeup I use. I responded, “I’ve been in here for almost a year. What kind of makeup can I use? I’ve eaten watery vegetable soup with almost no nutrients during that time. Cultivating Falun Dafa can make a practitioner’s skin turn rosy, and their bodies younger. Before I practiced Falun Gong, my face was pale, and I had many illnesses. After I began practicing Falun Gong I recovered from all my illnesses. Falun Dafa is wonderful!”

An officer said that she passed the government employee exam in 1999, but did not expect to end up working in a labor camp. The “education” she received at the labor camp was all about saying how bad Falun Gong was. She said she did a lot of bad things, and believes she received karmic retribution. She suffered a late term miscarriage and her husband divorced her.

I told her not to take part in the persecution of Falun Gong, as anyone who did would be punished, the evil persecution was not just a persecution of Falun Gong practitioners—everyone who believes the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) lies is a victim. That’s why Falun Gong practitioners have been telling the truth even though they risk getting arrested, sentenced, tortured or being killed for their organs.

Near the time of my release date, a female guard begged me: “If you are not “transformed”, I will fail the assessment this year, and you won’t be able to get out.”

I calmly told her, “I will leave here one way or another that day.”

When she asked how, I answered firmly, “Walk out by myself or be carried out.”

I was put in solitary confinement in the labor camp, with up to four inmates monitoring me every day. I was ordered to sit on a small plastic bench in the middle of the cell during the day, facing the door, with the window open behind me. What allowed me to spend those days peacefully was to keep reciting Master’s Fa.

Just as I turned around, through the window, I saw a beam of light appear in the sky. The light was surrounded by colorful rays, and the beam of light grew taller and taller. I said to the two inmates who were watching me: “Look!”

One of the inmates shouted excitedly, “It has manifested. God and Buddha have manifested.”

In just a few seconds, the beam of light turned into a large rainbow, coming from the southeast, and crossed over the building of the labor camp where I was kept.

The other inmate shouted, “Ah! What a big rainbow!”

I was so excited as tears covered my face. Because I often told the inmates the beauty of Dafa, this time we witnessed this wonderful moment together.

Given Master’s protection, I walked out of the labor camp in an upright manner, and the two female guards who escorted me out were moved to tears.

You Are Protected by Gods

On a long-distance bus ride, I clarified the truth to the passengers near me. They agreed that Falun Gong is good and quit the CCP and its youth organizations.

I gave them each a USB flash drive and an amulet. As the bus approached the highway, a man said, “Everyone, get off the bus and have your ID card ready for inspection.”

As the passengers got off, I calmed myself down and asked Master to protect me. I said to a man sitting behind me, “If I can’t get back on, please take my luggage and this bag.” He asked his daughter to write down my phone number.

When it was my turn to get off the bus, I slowly walked toward the back door of the bus, with one foot on the ground. The man in charge then said, “Everyone in the back, sit down. Once the check is done the bus will leave.”

Because I was half outside the bus, I could only vaguely hear what he said. I instantly stepped back onto the bus and went to my seat. The man behind me said: “Amazing! Gods are protecting you!” I knew in my heart that it was Master who protected me.

During the past 20 years of my cultivation, I deeply felt that Master cherishes me more than I cherish myself.
