Finding and Studying Dafa in Prison
(Clearwisdom.net) I obtained the Fa in prison. This unusual way has
brought a lot of difficulties in various aspects of my cultivation. Most of all,
it was difficult because I was unable to study the Fa since no Falun Dafa books
were available. The only Fa for me to learn was Lunyu, which a
practitioner wrote down for me from memory. That was the only words from Master
guiding my cultivation under such circumstances. Reciting "Lunyu" was
my everyday Fa-study. After that fellow practitioner left, other practitioners came. They really
worried about my situation, so they wrote down some of Teacher's articles that
they had memorized. Treating those articles as a treasure, I carried them with
me and took them out to study when I could. Later, because I was sent to
different prisons several times, I had the opportunity to meet more fellow
practitioners and got more of Teacher's articles. I not only got the completed Hong
Yin and Essentials for Further Advancement but also could memorize
them proficiently at that time. As the time that I stayed in prison progressed, more policemen knew that I
practiced Falun Gong. They guarded me more severely than ever. Targeted searches
of my bed and body became more and more frequent. Life in prison became even
more difficult. Without paper and pens, we used discarded tooth paste boxes as
paper and found hard materials to carve on the boxes. We also used nails to
write the Fa on the wall. It resulted in our nails splitting and causing great
pain. It is almost impossible to see the latest articles from Master. When we
did get the latest article, we memorized it as soon as possible to prevent the
police from taking it away. Aunt Xu knew that I started to learn the Fa in prison, so she was very
concerned for me. She was worried because that I could not read Zhuan Falun for
a long time after I began cultivation. We were separated and sent to different
rooms by policeman afterwards. Aunt Xu helped other people bring Zhuan Falun
to prison by a special means and asked a policeman to let me stay with her. The
policeman rejected her request, and Aunt Xu went on a hunger strike. On the
third day of her hunger strike, the policeman agreed to let me stay with her.
Finally I could study Zhuan Falun after one year of practicing Falun Dafa.
The first time I saw Zhuan Falun, I could not stop myself from weeping.
It was like triumphant warriors seeing their long-departed family and I did not
want to be separated from Zhuan Falun anymore. Being afraid of losing it,
I carried it with me everyday and read it eagerly. Though this happened in the past, if sometimes I cannot make the best use of
time to study the Fa, I recall those memories and know that there is no excuse
to slow my advancement in cultivation. November 13, 2006 |
