  • Experiences and Reflections on Introducing Falun Gong and the Persecution in Manhattan (Part 1)

    She looked at her mother and hesitated a little bit before she took a leaflet from me. Then she boldly stepped forward and said to me sincerely, "I hope you get what you want." I bent down slightly and looked into her big eyes, which were filled with sympathy, and said, "Thank you. You are a very nice girl. Please tell the story of Falun Gong to more people. That way you are helping us to stop the persecution." She was relatively young, so she was speechless for a while before she responded, "I will."
  • Feeling Neither Discouraged in Difficult Times nor Smug during Smooth Times

    Of course, during those two days, we met some reporters who accepted our leaflets. One man in a business suit initially refused my leaflet until I said, "It's been five years, and more than a thousand people have been tortured to death." He immediately showed an interest in reading our material and put a copy of our newspaper in his suit pocket. Many people told us that they already knew about us and had been keeping track of our status.
  • Two Falun Gong Practitioners from Germany Introduce People to Falun Gong and the Persecution in New York

    Before reaching New York, we had the opportunity to tell people the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution in China in many places in North America . Most American’s are rather inquisitive and open to human rights discussions. Subjects such as freedom of belief and religious freedom are of great importance to Americans.
  • A Taiwanese Falun Gong Practitioner Tells of Experience in Argentina

    The book exhibition was opened for VIP's and specially invited guests for three days from April 13th. The general opening ceremony was held on April 16th, when it was opened to the public. The opening ceremony was grand as senators, mayors and foreign ambassadors all came to attend the event. Publishers from over 400 publishing companies and bookstores from all over the world came to attend. There were also special halls representing each of the Central and South American countries, introducing their cultural aspects.
  • Going Beyond Being Good - Consciously Discarding Attachments and Continuously Elevating

    I have noticed that many practitioners have not moved on from their understanding of being good in the context of everyday people and have not elevated. When conflicts happen, they tend to use the human mentalities to judge right or wrong without seeing their own attachments even when the same problems happen again and again.
  • Brief Analysis of the Mentality of Depending on Others

    I was practicing Falun Dafa, quietly participating in activities to introduce people to Falun Gong and the persecution, even as I kept busy with studies and my two positions in the student council. I graduated from college easily and even got an "Outstanding Student" award. More importantly, many of my classmates were able to understand the truth about Falun Dafa's situation and learnt that Falun Dafa is good.
  • My Understanding on the Importance of Showing People what Falun Gong is Really About

    The effectiveness of our truth-clarification is not only a test of how well we study and assimilate the Fa, but also a test of how effectively we send righteous thoughts. If we hold our attachments tightly when clarifying the truth it will offset the effectiveness of our truth-clarification and maybe it will also become a loophole that will be taken advantage of.
  • "Remaining Unaffected" Is a State of Mind of Enlightened Beings rather than a Method for Reaching a Goal

    We should not have the concept of being happy or unhappy. It was inevitable that the evildoer would step down, and this event has nothing to do with what we Falun Dafa practitioners need to do.
  • Suggestions for How to Write Experience Sharing Articles

    As many practitioners have felt, writing experience-sharing articles is a process of rational thinking, cultivation, and self-improvement. Even if initially our thoughts were wrong, not very rational, or not pure enough, this is an opportunity for us to reflect, to see how much improvement we have made in our thinking and actions after a period of studying the teachings of Falun Gong and showing people the true facts about Falun Gong, and to learn from our shortcomings and failures.
  • Letting Go of My Fundamental Attachments Amidst Long-term Tribulations

    I was continuously tortured both physically and mentally whilst I was being detained at the Xindian Female Forced Labour Camp in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province of China. Such long-term suffering, however, could not change my determined heart. When I looked within throughout that experience, I also found many of my own attachments.
  • My Experiences and Understandings about Appealing at the Chinese Consulate in Edinburgh, Scotland

    One day when I was practising the Falun Gong exercises, an old Scottish man came over and said to me, "Young man, I have observed you for a few days, and I am really touched. Nowadays, there are very few young men like you. You are really brave. Carry on. What you are doing is great." When I heard this, tears streamed down my cheeks.
  • A New Falun Gong Practitioner in China Establishes Her Own Material Production Site

    I did not understand why I started to practise so late. I know now that everything happens for a reason. First, as a new practitioner, no one has been watching me; secondly, with a stable job and income, I am in good financial shape; thirdly, I have basic computer skills; and fourthly, I have a good family environment, so I have ample time and energy. Everything comes or forms for Falun Dafa. If we have the means but do not do what we should do, that will be our biggest regret. Haven't we been waiting for this day for thousands of years?
  • Using the Phone to Tell the People of China that "Falun Dafa is Good"

    This desire changed a simple book-reading meeting to a time where Falun Gong practitioners would gather together to phone people in China to explain to them about Falun Gong and the persecution. Everyone agreed that it was a good idea to use the phone to call the Chinese people, police stations, forced labour camps and related authorities.
  • Understanding the Persecution from the Angle of the Law to Bring the Persecutors to Justice

    For these reasons, talking about the persecution against Falun Gong from the legal perspective becomes especially important. We should help people understand that persecuting Falun Gong violates our nation's Constitution and the law. Jiang Zemin and his followers, who controlled all of the state's resources to persecute Falun Gong, are the ones breaking the law, and the line of attack during the persecution is illegal and criminal.
  • The Best Way is to Change One's Self -- Experiences During the Car Tour of Scotland

    We met two mayors. One mayor opened a heavy door for us when we struggled to enter the town hall. We talked to him, thinking that he was a receptionist. Another mayor, who was attending a local meeting, rushed back to his office when he noticed us in the hallway. He came to greet us and shook our hands. It was as if we were being reunited with a family member.
