  • Thoughts After a Visit to France: The Falun Gong Practitioners That I Met

    The mother then asked her husband, a senior engineer, if he could eat up the leftovers of mine. The husband also agreed. I felt ill at ease about it and tried to take back the leftovers. The three practitioners and my mother said, “Don’t worry. Falun Gong practitioners just don’t want to waste food. Our respectful teacher, Master Li, has also taken the leftover of practitioners in some occasions.” This was the first event that moved me on the trip.
  • An Irish Practitioner Commemorates Mrs. Taylor

    Lord Moyne and Sue were a couple. We called Lord Moyne by the name of Johnson, which is his real name, Moyne being the title conferred on him or possibly inherited. When they came to Dublin, they would often stay at where we lived and eat what we ate, and were very easy-going. Lord Moyne practised Yoga. As a man of over 70 years old he could still do a handstand. He mastered four languages, both spoken and written; his other languages were also very good.
  • Lessons Learnt from the Attachment to Time

    When Master's new article "New Year's Greetings" was published on the Falun Gong website Clearwisdom.net and disseminated among practitioners, some fellow practitioners around me once again studied the Fa (law or principle, the teachings in Falun Gong) with a human mentality. They claimed they had come to understand when the "conclusion" time would occur and they began to spread their understandings about the "ending time."
  • Experiences of a Teacher from Taiwan: Immersed in Falun Dafa, My Body and Mind are More Comfortable

    My spine always felt unbelievably painful, and I often needed someone to give me a massage. I tried physical therapy and heat treatments, but neither was successful. Not until after I started to practise Falun Gong did I ever think for a second that I could heal this illness, but I became completely healthy in a very short time and haven't seen a doctor in three years.
  • Crape Myrtle, an Old Man and the Communist Party

    He was no longer the happy-go-lucky person. The trees were cut and the grass and flowers were pulled because they were considered signs of capitalism and had to be eradicated. He fell into a deep sorrow over the plants and trees that he had so lovingly cared for over the years. His crippled leg worsened and he frequently wandered on campus like a lost child. One day, he secretly tried to plant a few bunches of crape myrtle on campus. The Red Guards found out, pulled the plants, and beat him. The suffering was too much for him and he fell ill. He struggled for a couple of days in his small dark room, and then left this world in sorrow.
  • The Chinese Government Threatens Chinese Tourists Travelling to Hong Kong, Macau and Other Places Outside of China

    Several Falun Dafa practitioners have learnt that the government of China has threatened Chinese tourists travelling overseas. The travel agencies that organised such trips were also intimidated. Threats of imprisonment were declared for persons accepting any materials from Falun Gong practitioners during their travels.
  • Without Falun Gong, I Would Not Be Alive

    Because he witnessed the magnificent power of Falun Dafa, the village leader started to protect the Falun Dafa practitioners in our village. In the spring of 2003, a car came to our village, and those in the car asked the village leader if there were Falun Gong practitioners in our village. The village leader told those people that Falun Gong was undoubtedly good, otherwise why would so many people practise it? He continued, "If you would like to take care of us, just take care of our fields; the fields desperately need water."
  • Reflections on Laws and Legal Community in China After Reading Lawyer Gao Zhisheng's Open Letter

    In his open letter, Mr. Gao reveals that, in dealing with Falun Gong practitioners, "The attitude of law enforcement in China is to view the law to be as worthless as a pair of worn-out shoes." What they are doing is against the law, but yet they are doing it in the name of the law. The whole legal system, according to Mr. Gao, "Has become numb toward the law, human nature, and human dignity. They are completely irresponsible and deal with everything randomly."
  • CCP Secretary of Henan Province Xu Guangchun: One Of Those Most Responsible For Spreading Hate Propaganda To Sustain The Persecution Of Falun Gong

    Xu Guangchun was one of those high-ranking officials. The amount of money involved was astounding. After the exposure of his crime, Xu displayed increased loyalty and flattery toward Jiang, even removing money from a special fund with the help of Zeng Qinghuai in order to promote a certain female singer, known to be favoured by Jiang. As a result, Xu was able to avoid legal punishment with Jiang's protection, and maintained his official title.
  • Falun Gong Brings a Seventy-year-old Back to Life

    After studying and reading Zhuan Falun many times, I started walking by gradually leaning on a stick, which I have now discarded to walk freely. The people around me initially thought that I would not live because of my severe illness. My recovering at such a rapid pace was a big miracle and was something I would never have dreamt of.
  • Understandings Shared at a Recent Small Experience Sharing Conference in Changchun

    As an example, a practitioner told a story of "saving sentient beings with one thought." One time a female practitioner was studying the Falun Gong teachings at home, when she saw an elderly woman outside. She had one thought, to let her come in and to tell her the truth about Falun Dafa. As anticipated, the elderly woman came in and said, "I have heart disease. Could I come in to take a rest?" The practitioner warmly gave her a chair to sit in, and then revealed the true facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution to her. The elderly woman thanked the practitioner and stated that she and her husband would recite, "Falun Dafa is good."
  • My Experience of Practising Falun Gong and Helping Highlight the Persecution in Peru

    I told her, "Ambassadress, you have also read the book and practised the exercises. Please frankly tell me, is the practise good?" She said, "Of course it is good! My health improved a lot after practising the exercises. However, since the government doesn't permit us to practise, you must stop it. Moreover, it will have a tremendous impact on your husband's business with China if you persist in it." I answered, "You clearly know it is good, yet you will still give it up. Falun Gong is the cultivation method I have been looking for all my life. I shall persist in it."
  • A Letter to Readers of the Chinese Business View Detailing My Personal Ordeal of Being Tortured and Persecuted

    I read a report entitled "Falun Gong Concocted 30 Tortures, Fabricated Lies and Invented Fake Photos to Vilify the Government by Accusing It of Persecuting Falun Dafa Practitioners" on the news page of the Chinese Business View. Reading this report, I felt a surge of emotion, as memories of both my own torture and those suffered by other Falun Gong practitioners I have known leapt into my mind. In order to help my fellow countrymen and other kind readers make clear distinctions between right and wrong, and to safeguard your legal right to know the truth, I couldn't help but take up my pen to write a brief account of my own experiences with words found deep in my heart.
  • Elementary School Students Bring Petition Letter to a Jail to Help Rescue Their Innocent Teacher

    It was an unforgettable meeting. I was called out to meet some visitors at around 10 a.m. that morning and was surprised when I saw the students' faces on the TV monitor. They began to cry as soon as they saw me. I could not control my tears either when I saw their crying faces. We were only allowed to communicate in writing. Seeing me in my prison uniform with an unshaven face and having lost weight, the student who was writing cried harder and had to let another student take over. They expressed their condolences one after another.
  • "There Are Still Some Good People in Today's Society"

    According to his requirement, I took him home and mentally prepared myself for being cursed at by his family members, and to make compensation for all his losses. Unexpectedly, when we got to his home, his family members not only didn't beat or curse me but also didn't ask for any compensation. They even treated me politely. I was surprised that there are still such high level, kind, and nice people in today's society.
