(Minghui.org) The many marvelous things that have happened to practitioners in our area over the years have validated the wondrous nature of Falun Dafa to us. They have made us feel that Master is with us all the time, teaching us with great care, looking after us with compassion. As Dafa disciples, no matter what the circumstances, as long as we believe in Master and Dafa and stay on the right path, no difficulties can stop us!
Here are some examples.
At the end of 2000, a senior practitioner, we'll call him Mr. Wang, went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa. He was arrested and sent to Jiutai Forced Labor Camp for two years. Practitioners there were subjected to "forced brainwashing" to try to make them give up Falun Dafa.
Mr. Wang was the eldest in this squad, so he was called "First." On the table lay a row of over a dozen large-capacity electric batons and several serrated plastic sticks. There was also a whip made of electrical cable.
The guards told Mr. Wang, "Our leader gave us strict orders: 'Everyone must give up Falun Gong.'" Mr. Wang refused. They said, "Look at these instruments of torture; can you bear them? Most people cannot stand it. If we kick you, we can kick out your eyes (they had undergone special training). You have three minutes to think it over."
Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, but immediately thought of Master's teachings. He told them, "My master said,
'My roots are all deeply planted in the universe, and if someone could affect you, he could affect me, and to put it directly, he’d be able to affect the universe.'” (Zhuan Falun)
The guards were astounded by what he said. One finally said, "Well, just go back to your cell. I will fix you in the end." Mr. Wang thought on the way back that it was the power of Dafa and Master's mighty virtue, that Master has the final say, and that we disciples can pass all difficulties when we are “on the Fa”. Except for Mr. Wang, almost every Dafa disciple was then tortured.
Another practitioner, who we'll call Ms. Jiang, had been illegally detained at a detention center for the first time. At first she just waited passively, but then realized that she should not be in a detention center, so she asked Master to help her go home.
Ms. Jiang clarified the truth to the prisoners near her and then filed an appeal to complain about her illegal detention. She used the opportunity presented by her appeal to clarify the truth. The appeal had been accepted, but not yet heard.
Ms. Jiang was almost asleep when she saw a man beside her. She was not sure who he was, only that he told her, "Hurry out!" After waking up, Ms. Jiang thought that Master had just given her a hint.
Just then the bell rang, and she thought this was another hint. (Previously, Ms. Jiang was not allowed outside, likely to keep her from having any contact with other practitioners.) So she hurried out. The guards got nervous and came out to stop her.
Ms. Jiang told them, "Everyone here has a right to go out. You are depriving me of that right and are breaking the law." Less than 10 minutes later, everyone was told to go back in. The ward leader said it was because Ms. Jiang came out that everyone had to go in early.
Ms. Jiang thought about whether or not she had done the right thing. She realized she was right. Just then the guard called her name and asked her to pack up and go home.
The second time Ms. Jiang was detained, the police said other practitioners had provided information about her. Because she did not obey their orders, the police intended to handcuff her hands behind her back.
Ms. Jiang immediately sent out a thought, “Master, please help. I cannot let their evil conspiracy succeed!” The three tall, strong guards simply couldn't manage to hold her to put on the handcuffs.
The next six times she was arraigned, they had no evidence. They even did not torture her anymore. Over time, however, Ms. Jiang became zealous. This was a loophole that the evil took advantage of.
Although they did not have any evidence against her, she was sent to the forced labor camp. On the way to the camp, Ms. Jiang knew she was wrong and told Master in her heart, "Master, I'm sorry! Please be assured that even if I am sent to the labor camp, I will never betray Dafa. But if I am not, I will go home and do what I should do." Ms. Jiang failed the medical exam given to new detainees. She returned home that very day, knowing that Master had helped her again.
In 2002, another practitioner, Ms. Huang was seized and taken to the police station. In an attempt to force her to disclose the source of her truth-clarification materials, the police beat her for 24 hours. She was black and blue, and her feet were so swollen that she could not wear shoes. They forged some evidence to charge her.
Ms. Huang silently asked Master for help, “Master, I cannot be here; I need to get out.” In the room where Ms. Jiang was kept, there was only a single small window about a meter off the ground, and it was protected with iron bars. She could not budge them.
Ms. Huang thought to herself, “I can get out of here.” The police were asleep next door, and she asked Master to not allow them to wake up. She endured the pain in her feet and climbed up onto the small ledge. She pushed the bars a few times, but every time she did, a motorcycle outside the window made a noise. She was afraid the police would wake up, so she asked Master to help to keep the motorcycle quiet, and it worked.
Ms. Huang pushed the bars dozens of times with no effect. She thought again, “Master certainly can let me out!” She put her head up to the bars even though they were only 12 cm apart and her head was too wide to fit through.
But then, suddenly, her head slipped through the bars! She thought, “Then how about my body?” Ms. Huang was a little daunted, but immediately thought, “It doesn't matter; it can go through.” She moved a little bit, and it was very easy to go out. She then sat on the windowsill.
Because of her swollen feet, she could not jump down. All of a sudden she saw a primary school student coming and called for her to help. So Ms. Huang got down from the windowsill and called a taxi.
When Ms. Huang's friends heard about what had happened, they were amazed. But Dafa disciples know that Dafa is really miraculous!
