Hooligan Changes His Mind Due to Righteous Thoughts

January 30, 2003

One pleasant evening in January 2003, I took some truth-clarifying Cd's and posters and went out to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa. I had no fear at all and I could feel my strong righteous energy field.

There were many electric poles along side the country road, and they were perfect for putting up the posters. I distributed truth-clarifying Cd's while putting up the posters, and soon I was about two to three miles away from home. I kept riding my bike on the road and saw a guy coming from the opposite direction. I wanted to leave a truth-clarifying CD for him. Before I could even take the CD out of my bag, the guy came up and started trying to grope me. I was quite scared at first and tried to escape, but the hooligan caught me again. When he grabbed hold of me for the second time, I calmed down and sent forth righteous thoughts [using upright thoughts to purify oneself and the surrounding environment]. In the meantime, I told him, "Please stop and listen to me about the truth of Falun Dafa." He immediately let me go. When I picked up my bike that had fallen onto the ground, some truth-clarifying posters fell from the basket. He picked up a copy and started reading "Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil." [In traditional Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution states that good deeds are rewarded and bad deeds punished.] He then put the posters back in my bicycle basket.

I said to him, "Come on and let me tell you the truth about Falun Gong." We walked for a while side by side and my fear completely disappeared. I told him the facts about the staged Tiananmen Self-Immolation incident, and the facts of how Falun Dafa practitioners suffered inhuman persecution for speaking out the truth. At first, he made some bad comments about Falun Dafa. I asked him to stop saying that before he had learned the truth about Falun Dafa, and he agreed. I told him the facts from my kind heart and with righteous thoughts. After a while, he apologised to me for what he had done. I told him that I felt happy for him since he learned the truth about Falun Dafa.

I had only two Cd's left in my bag and I gave him one, telling him to remember "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance" and to be a good person in the future.

I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who only recently stared to practise Falun Gong. Please point out any incorrect understandings.

Thank you.
