  • A Senior Citizen Shares Her Experiences of Practising Falun Gong in China

    I am 73 this year but people say I only look like I am 50. My skin is wrinkle-free and healthy, my teeth are good, and I am alert. I speak clearly and walk so well that even some young people cannot keep up with me. My husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandchild, relatives, and old classmates have seen the changes in me since I began to practise Falun Gong, and they have come to cultivate and become Falun Dafa practitioners one by one.
  • My Experiences of Moving from Australia to Cornwall

    When I had just started practising I had the sense that I would one day return to Cornwall to give the people in that area a chance to find out about the practice and the brutal persecution. Now it seemed that was coming true. However, instead of making the best use of my new found time, my attachment to comfort came up and I became lazy and found excuses for not practising the exercises or studying the Falun Gong teachings, the Fa, saying “I have to spend time applying for jobs” or “I have to fit in with my family’s routine now”.
  • A Reminder to Value Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

    Gradually I reduced my sending forth righteous thoughts to three times daily, then to twice or once a day. My excuse was I felt tired during sending forth righteous thoughts. This abnormal state continued for several months. Finally the evil took advantage of my loopholes and started persecuting me.
  • The Miraculous Transformation of My Sister's Family

    A few days ago I paid a visit to her house because I had some errands to run. When I first stepped into her house, what I saw amazed me. The chaotic environment that once consumed her home had completely reversed. The yard and her house were now clean and organised. Both my sister and her husband looked so happy. After seeing my expression, my 74-year-old sister and her 80-year-old husband told me their story.
  • A Matter of Life or Death

    Right now I must tell you that writing a sharing article like this is an accelerated cultivation process and so I am not the same person at the end of this sharing as I was when I began the first draft. As you will see, I begin full of doubt and uncertainty - to explore rather than to explain. As I am going to talk about a recent event where I was confronted with a life or death choice, I would like to say a few words about events in my life prior to this that put this specific event into some context.
  • A Brief Sharing

    Later at moments when I had a more peaceful mind, I found what annoyed me most was not so much his opinions as the fact that his opinion was different, very different in some aspects, from that of mine. At these peaceful moments when I could better let go of the ego, I could see more clearly the value of the suggestions of the other party. Even when facing the issues on which I still believed the other party was not correct, my mind state was one of more benevolence, care and respect for the other party.
  • My Fellow Practitioners in Mainland China

    The head of the security bureau said, “No wonder that there has recently been a lot more leaflets in our area. Tell the truth, was it you?” This seemingly simple question sounds completely different in the kind of evil and harsh environment of mainland China. If you admitted guilt, ordinary people would take it to mean “doubly guilty”. So many would reply, 'No, it was not me'. The lady, on the other hand, said, “I really would like to distribute leaflets across the whole world, telling everybody about Falun Gong. It’s a shame that my means are limited.”
  • My Cultivation Journey

    He told me that the book talks about a lot of good things and to follow the principles of the book, he shouldn’t allow a divorce to happen and should instead work on improving his character. He asked me to give him a three year chance to improve his character and be a better person. How could I refuse an opportunity to save our marriage? For him to have the confidence that he would change and to make the effort, Falun Dafa must be good.
  • Experiences In Organising the Edinburgh Cavalcade In Scotland

    The Chinese Consulate in Edinburgh has tried to pressure the Cavalcade organisers to refuse our entry for the last five years. Although the current Organiser has not given in to the Consulate’s demands, we have not been allowed to hand out leaflets with information about the persecution of Falun Gong for the last two years. Also the Edinburgh Chinese Community, which is backed by the Chinese Consulate, has taken part in the Cavalcade this year and last year.
  • Two Stories of Seemingly Miraculous Recoveries from Practising Falun Dafa

    One day, one of my colleagues, who is a Falun Gong practitioner, came to see me. He saw how sick I was, so he told me the truth of Falun Gong. He gave himself as an example, and said that he became healthy after practising Falun Gong. He suggested that I also learn Falun Gong. I thought maybe there was this one last hope. So with a heart of doubt and curiosity, I accepted the book Zhuan Falun.
  • By Sincerely Reciting "Falun Dafa Is Great," Mr. Song's Broken Ligaments Make a Rapid Recovery

    Once home, he went to the hospital again for another examination. The doctor compared the previous CT film with the current one and exclaimed, "This is simply a miracle!"
  • Escaping from my Handcuffs and Foot Shackles With Ease -- Let's End the Persecution Immediately, Starting with Myself

    This evil persecution against Falun Gong should have never begun. But there hasn't been a day that has gone by in the past eight years that Falun Gong practitioners have not been persecuted to death. To this day we are paying a dear price to resist the wicked persecution of Falun Gong. It has been eight long years. Each of us should ask ourselves, "Why? What have I done to completely end this persecution? What have I been doing?"
  • Family of New Practitioners Send Greetings to the Founder of Falun Gong on the Occasion of the Moon Festival

    At first I could only recite, "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness- Compassion- Tolerance is good," due to my paralyzed condition. Every day I would sincerely recite these words, and soon I was able to sit crossed legged in the lotus position and then I was able to stretch out my previously immobile arms. I could conjoin my hands and then after just one week I began to walk! My daughter-in-law and grandsons were overjoyed having seen such a massive improvement in such a short period of time.
  • Thoughts From Children Complaining to Their Mothers

    On the surface, I am able to endure hardships when doing truth-clarification projects. Sometimes when fellow practitioners treated me unfairly, I controlled myself well. But after digging deeper, I realized that whenever I had disagreements with our local coordinator, I always thought of complaining about it to Teacher. Isn't this thought of mine the same as that of the kids complaining to their mother?
  • A Young American Woman's Predestined Relationship with Falun Gong

    Lisa said that she was very curious about Falun Gong and kept asking Andrew about the practice, so he lent the book to her. In two days, Lisa finished reading the book. "I was amazed by the book. More importantly, I felt I had found what I had been looking for all my life."
