  • Some Thoughts on Chinese-English Communication

    Even in many areas outside China, the majority of the Falun Gong practitioners are Chinese. In group discussions among practitioners in these areas, Chinese is the language used most frequently, with English interpretation provided for those who do not understand Chinese. From this particular environment, there seem to be many different notions that have appeared.
  • A Life That Has Been Changed Forever

    One day, Xiaoqi's mother met a fortuneteller on the street. The fortuneteller told her, "Your son has a serious kidney problem." His mother begged the fortuneteller to guide her to a way out. He said, "Everybody's life is prearranged. If you want to change your son's life, you only have one choice and that is to find a master of cultivation."
  • After Seeing Her Loved Ones Endure Ruthless Persecution, a Schoolteacher Realises the Greatness of Falun Dafa

    I thought that Falun Gong brought disaster to my family. When I gradually became clearheaded, I recognised that there was nothing wrong with my father’s criterion to be a good person and his believing in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Was there any justice or morality if they persecuted good people like my father? The real murderers were those who persecuted innocent people who follow the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."
  • Looking at "A Grotesque Form of Evil New to This Planet" – A Compilation of Investigation Leads (Part 1)

    During the process, the Chinese Communist Party not only brutally murders Falun Gong practitioners in a way that challenges the bottom line of the morality of mankind, but it also devours conscience and human nature and fundamentally destroys people. "A grotesque form of evil new to this planet" will forever remain a lesson for mankind.
  • China's Masanjia Forced Labour Camp Hides the Truth to Deceive International Human Rights Investigators

    An international human rights organisation went to the Masanjia Labour Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province to investigate in 2001. Shortly before the investigation team arrived, around 100 detained Falun Dafa practitioners were secretly transferred to the Juvenile Camp. Later it became known that the administration was avoiding the investigation by hiding these victims.
  • I Finally Know What True Cultivation Is

    I would change back and forth when studying the Fa, and gradually I concentrated my mind and calmed down, and I could enlighten to Fa-principles. I learnt that Master has been teaching me to cultivate myself well and get rid of selfishness to be the person that always puts others first. I saw that Master taught me to cultivate while totally conforming with ordinary people's lives, still having family, friends, colleagues, social relations, but cultivating oneself solidly.
  • Looking Inward Whenever a Conflict Emerges

    A new colleague recently came to work for our company. He is very smart and a quick learner and so I was very happy for him to be there. I soon found out his shortcomings. He prefers to do what he likes, and he avoids or procrastinates on those tasks that he does not like. When he does that I have to take on more tasks. I began complaining to our supervisor, however I didn't want to report him to our boss.
  • Letter of Appeal to UN High Commissioner for Refugees - The International Community Must Be Made Aware of the Chinese Communist Party's Worldwide Infiltration and Deceit

    I recently received a letter from an immigration officer at the Canadian Embassy in Thailand in which I was informed that my application for transfer to Canada had been denied. The following are my reasons for contacting you at this time. This information is vital for many UN applicants and others.
  • Everyone in China Is a Victim of the Persecution

    "All happy families are like one another; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." This quote from Leo Tolstory is well known. However, in today’s China, thousands upon thousands of families are unhappy in the same way. Members of their families practise Falun Gong, so they are illegally arrested and detained. This causes the families to crumble, and even fall apart. Even before entering into my marriage, I suffered such pain.
  • Rising above Fear: "A Wolf Is Coming, So I Should Close My Doors and Windows"

    Though I appeared calm, the idea that "a wolf is coming, so I should close my doors and windows" kept playing a role. After going back home, I still took some security measures in a human way. Though I also sent forth righteous thoughts more often than before, in fact I was doing this out of fear and it still belonged to "closing doors and windows."
  • Finding the Root Attachment behind Making Excuses

    Fellow practitioners tried to persuade me to go to Beijing to validate Falun Dafa after the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, but I did not want to go. I found an excuse to cover my fear: "Not going to Beijing does not mean I quit cultivation; my level is not high enough to go."
  • Making Sure We Help Those Who Wish To Start Practising

    He endeavours to discipline himself in all aspects. He said to me that Falun Dafa has changed him into a totally different person, that now he has learnt how to be a good human being and that he no longer leads his life as he did in the past. He now trades fairly and no longer tries to rip off the customers; his business is now even more profitable. In the past, he was always ill and often took medicines. He once suffered from cerebral thrombosis. Now, through practising Falun Gong he has become much more healthy.
  • My Understanding of Seeking Within and Showing Tolerance Towards Others

    When I encounter a problem, I know I should study the Fa with a tranquil mind and eliminate the identified attachments with the Fa. However, at times it is not easy to identify my hidden attachments. Often I don't realise that I am completely consumed by them or further nourishing my hidden attachments. It is not until my conflicts with fellow practitioners reach a deadlock that I finally identify my selfishness.
  • In China, Tapping into Television Transmissions to Broadcast the Persecution Facts Is Upholding Essential Rights for Humanity

    The Chinese Communist Party's lies have no effect on Falun Gong practitioners, so Falun Gong practitioners can understand many things. What if Falun Gong practitioners thought only of themselves? What if they did not tell the truth to others? What kind of future would those people who have unconsciously accepted and embraced the lies and viciousness have? From this perspective, when Falun Gong practitioners clarify the truth, it's not simply because they have suffered injustice that they speak out. They also do it for others.
