  • The Power of the Truth

    The director then considered that if she was dismissed from her job because she practised Falun Gong, wouldn't her livelihood be taken away from her? In addition, she was unmarried; how would she cope in the future? Out of this one kind thought, the director put the matter on the back burner. When a trace was put on it from his superiors, he stalled it for a while and it was forgotten, thereby saving the practitioner.
  • Exposing the Lies of the Chinese Communist Party from Two Pieces of News

    The Chinese Communist Party's declaration not to be involved in the human organ trade is obviously an attempt to cover up their crimes in harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners. Such tactics are typical of the Party's actions in the past, but their attempts to cover up their crimes only make them more conspicuous.
  • With Regard to Mainland Chinese: "Having No Interest in Politics" Is Actually Being Political

    They say they are not interested in politics, but unconsciously, they really do not know the difference between right and wrong, and do not want to take charge of themselves. They are unable to decide what they want to see or hear. Is this what is meant by "having no interest"?
  • Being Jailed for Supporting Falun Gong Strengthened My Resolve to Carry on Practising

    I was an ordinary citizen from Jieyang City, Guangdong Province in China. I met several Falun Gong practitioners before 1999 and from our conversations I learnt of some wonderful stories about Falun Gong cultivation. I was moved by their compassionate words and deeds derived from their cultivation of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance." I had always had the opinion that it would do society a lot of good if we had more Falun Gong practitioners.
  • Work, Family Life, and Cultivation

    My relationship with my son wasn't very strong. My wife was very worried about this and complained to me all the time. She also has a full time job and she takes care of the kids. She felt I didn't care about her, either. She was always waiting for me to be home to help her with the house chores. But most of time when I was home, I was either busy with duties for our media or working on other Falun Dafa related tasks. We experienced lots of conflicts at home. Balancing family and cultivation was a big challenge.
  • Let Go of Preconceived Notions and Study the Falun Gong Teachings with Attentiveness

    I realised that I often went through the motions when studying the Falun Gong teachings, lost my concentration, and could not pay full attention to what I read. The answer is now obvious. It was me, not the method that I mentioned earlier. It was my incorrect notion which made me behave like an athlete who tries to achieve top performance by continually forcing his body to the peak.
  • My Four Years of Cultivating in Falun Gong

    Four years ago I was a cancer patient. After cycles of chemotherapy, I was extremely weak. The cancer shifted to the lymph glands and the doctor, seeing my body so desperately ill, told me that I only had one more year to live. I obtained many materials introducing Falun Gong from Seattle Falun Gong practitioners. I read the book Zhuan Falun from cover to cover in just one sitting, and it was as if a lightning bolt had lit up my life and awakened my true nature. What is the meaning of life? I finally found the answer. From then on I decided to follow Teacher, and walk the path of cultivation
  • Inadequate Study of the Falun Gong Teachings Is a Major Omission

    Since Fa study is so important, we must put all our efforts and concentration into it! I think a practitioner who doesn't take Fa study seriously does not know how to practice cultivation, just as one cannot achieve Consummation by building temples. Personally, I think Fa study is not difficult but the key is whether we can truly understand the importance of Fa study. If not, we will get mired in tasks once our workloads increase.
  • The Neighbourhood Committee: the Chinese Communist Party's Organisational Tool Against Chinese Citizens

    In the 70s, the CCP summarised a set of torture methods from the chaotic "Cultural Revolution." It put these virulent methods in effect through the neighbourhood committee's administration, governed the neighbourhood by registering each resident in the registration book, synchronised with the one in the local police station. Whoever they thought belonged to an "alien element," a "dangerous element," or someone who did not follow their decrees, they would contact the local police, who would send such people for brainwashing.
  • Practising Falun Gong Easily Eliminates a Stubborn Addiction to Smoking

    Recently, I heard from a Falun Gong practitioner surnamed Song that her nephew easily eliminated his stubborn addiction to smoking after he began to practise Falun Gong. Recalling the discussions on the issues of smoking and drinking in Zhuan Falun, with great interest I interviewed this young man, Song Xin, on December 29th, 2006.
  • "Falun Dafa is Good" Has Remained in the Hallway of Our Building for Seven Years

    One day, the police arrived at our building and pretended to check residency IDs. They knocked on my door so loudly that our neighbours came out when they heard. The neighbours blocked the police from entering my home, and the police left empty-handed. Later on the neighbours told me, "We cannot let anyone disturb you!"
  • "It Looks Like the Days of the Communist Party Are Truly Numbered"

    Learning of this outrageous incident, an elderly lady who is a fish vendor asked for some materials containing the true facts surrounding the persecution from Falun Gong practitioners and helped them distribute the materials. She also said that she would visit Ms. Liu in the hospital.
  • No Longer Am I Living the American Dream Just for Me

    But the number eight has other significance as well, a more personal significance that has marred the perfection of that number. I haven't been back home to China in eight years because eight years ago the Chinese government began its malicious persecution of my religion, Falun Gong, a peaceful cultivation practice. Should I return to China now, there's a chance that even I could be detained by the government. But I'm here, safe, in the United States. More importantly, my entire extended family lives in China right now, in the midst of a genocide.
  • Falun Gong Saved Me

    My relatives were all anxious and sad, and they recommended major hospitals in Beijing. I thought to myself, "I now suffer from cancer and there is no cure. I would not like to have my daughters and sons fall into debt because of my incurable illness." But my desire for life made me not want to die like this. I then heard about Falun Gong and its miraculous health effects. I wanted to try Falun Gong, because I had nothing to lose after all.
  • From Being A Christian to Being A Falun Dafa Practitioner

    My elder sister practises Falun Dafa. She had repeatably tried to persuade me to start cultivating Falun Dafa, but I always refused because it was prohibited by the government. In addition, I even sternly forbade my husband from learning Falun Dafa. By 2004, I was bedridden. Unable to ingest anything not even water, and after four days without intake, I could only wait for my end to come.
