  • Using Righteous Thoughts to Survive and Triumph During My Hunger Strike in a Forced Labour Camp

    Those thugs would use foul language to defame Teacher in order to incite me to talk, but I would not budge and thus avoided falling into their traps. My staunch belief and faith was the only thing that mattered now. Each time that I was clear-minded, I would clear away interferences, and recall and study the Fa like a baby sucking milk. I felt that the Fa was so profound, instilling in me boundless confidence and helping me to break through many interferences and attachments.
  • My Bicycle Journey to Beijing to Appeal for Falun Dafa

    I had never spoken out in front of so many people before, so I did not pull out my banner right away. Time passed by quickly while I hesitated, trying to decide whether or not to raise my banner. When I looked at my watch, I saw that it was nearly noon. At that time, there were many tourists on the square. I thought to myself that I shouldn't miss such a good opportunity
  • The Story of My Righteous Little Cousin

    My little cousin though, did not yield to this emotional blackmail and firmly answered, "I want Falun Dafa. I can't give up Falun Dafa for the reason of my friends. However, I don't believe I will lose my friends just because I practise Falun Dafa!" Just as she said, several days later, her classmates came up to play together with her. They folded paper together with her to make paper-cranes and even asked her for Falun Dafa books.
  • Hooligan Changes His Mind Due to Righteous Thoughts

    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.
  • Completing my Master’s Degree Thesis During Cultivation in Fa-rectification

    My fellow practitioners also saw that my schedule was a bit tight, so they reminded me not to have the heart for doing things. Schoolwork was also very important. We should also do well in the human level. It also validated the Fa. So, I started to think about it calmly. Why should I go out? Did I have an impure heart? How to balance the relationship of cultivation, Fa-spreading, and studying?
  • The Difference

    My son said: "[shouldn't we] send forth righteous thoughts to rescue the little girl’s Mom?" I was shocked at that moment and found the difference between my son and me. He had not been contaminated by the dye vat of everyday people’s society and could think of others first. By contrast, my selfishness was revealed entirely.
  • Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions of a Young Falun Dafa Practitioner

    On his own, he has kept up with clarifying the truth in China. He clarified the truth to his friends and classmates. The teacher in charge of his class was very verbally abusive to him and even beat him, so he said with a calm assurance, "Falun Dafa teaches people to be good, and I have been learning Falun Gong for so many years." Xiao Gang wiped away his tears and did not give in.
  • A Call to China

    I made some notes of a few simple and clear points to remind me. No matter what would happen, I would keep calm. I wanted to let the Chinese citizens realise that we were aware of what the Chinese government did to Falun Gong practitioners. We were making it clear that they should not assist in the persecution of innocent people.
  • Spousal Tribulations, Falun and the Lust Test

    One day I saw the girl (with whom my husband had had the affair) across a crowded shopping street and was overcome with compassion for her and for him. They seemed so lost in delusion but still trying to find a way out, albeit in a deviant way. I saw that all sentient beings are indeed suffering.
  • Every Name Has Its Power

    At 1 a.m. on February 6, 2003, my mother, Yang Yueli, called from Beijing and told me that she had safely returned home after having been detained for 400 days and nights. Due to the endless effort of the Global Mission to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners, the intense pressures from international organisations and overseas media, and with the help from millions of kind-hearted people all over the world, the Chinese regime finally released my mother who was detained groundlessly just because she practises Falun Gong.
  • I Won’t Complain About my Fellow Practitioners Anymore

    When something happened to a fellow practitioner, other practitioners would sincerely solve the problem for him. I could see that those practitioners considered other practitioners’ affairs their own affairs. When a problem arose, they did not try to “educate” and oppress practitioners but would solve the problem with him from their hearts.
  • To Complain Shows Looking Outwards and a Lack of Compassionate Thoughts

    At the exercise site, many practitioners have noticed that some fellow practitioners sometimes showed “complaining” in their spoken language. I myself experienced this condition too. So, this is why I’d like to share my personal realization on this and talk about my understanding of such an attachment as “complaining”.
  • Jiang Zemin, Article 23 and the "Final Solution"

    In his drive to eradicate Falun Gong he has also slandered, pressurised and tried to intimidate practitioners of all the nationalities in the 50 or more countries (China being but one) where Falun Gong is practised. He has tried this with a propaganda campaign both at home and abroad, the low cunning of which is historically unmatched. He has hoodwinked his own people with these lies and effectively made it illegal for them to be good!
  • Realization Regarding “You are a Whole, just like Master’s Gong.”

    I realized then that my ideas to push my activities into the foreground had been a huge attachment, to only work in my city, in my area, and to do it well. That notion was like a wall that had separated me from working together with others, prevented me from becoming part of the whole. It finally dawned on me that the others had waited for me to finally join them and become part of the whole...
  • A Falun Dafa Practitioner's Brother and Sister Nobly Help Practitioners and Resist Persecution

    Even though my sister doesn't practise Falun Gong, she helps practitioners when she can based on her own conditions. When other practitioners and I told her that what she has done will have a profound reward, she said calmly, "I offer assistance to practitioners not in order to get any reward, but because I feel it's a human being's duty. If I have the ability, I should do it naturally."
