  • Letting People Know the Correct Facts and Getting My Job Back

    I decided to go to my company and talk to them about Falun Gong and why the persecution is wrong. I approached leaders at different levels several times over a period of time and clarified the truth to them while asking them to give me back my job. However, my requests were turned down. Their reason was that anybody who had been sent to a forced labour camp and as a result of that been fired because of practising Falun Gong would have to declare his stand in front of the director of the security department.
  • Some Thoughts Evoked by A Stranger's Helpful Advice

    I suddenly realised that, while I was very happy to accept that elderly gentleman's words when he pointed out there was something wrong with my car, I haven't been so happy whenever my fellow practitioners have pointed out my shortcomings. Why do I react differently? I suppose it's because I didn't know the elderly gentleman and I want strangers to be left with a good impression of me. When my fellow practitioners have pointed out my shortcoming, however, I thought they were doing so just to pick on me, so I would always try to find excuses for myself.
  • Recollections of Teacher's Lectures in Guangzhou, China

    On the night of the 28th of December in 1994, the Guangzhou Lecture Session ended. Teacher said to us, "My visa is ready." All of us knew Teacher would travel around the world to introduce Falun Gong. We did not know when we would be able to see him in the future. During the eight days of lectures, Teacher taught us the universal law and cleansed our bodies. When it was time to say goodbye, everybody felt sad.
  • An Australian Falun Dafa Practitioner's Journey to Tanzania

    The practise site had become a landmark on scenic Ocean Drive, alongside the beautiful Indian Ocean. Even the taxi drivers asked whether we can do a Falun Gong program in their local language on the radio stations, so that they can learn about Falun Dafa while driving. When we handed out leaflets on the streets, people came up to us and said they had received our leaflets, and looked at the website. They said they couldn't believe the brutality of the persecution! Thanks to the media's continuing positive reports about the practise, Falun Dafa has become widely known.
  • Not Moving One’s Heart and Righteous Thoughts

    I came across a situation in the early days of my cultivation: During a group sharing session, one practitioner pointed out the shortcomings of another practitioner, who then instinctively defended herself with angry words. A young female practitioner sitting next to me whispered to me: “See, her heart moved.” I wasn’t aware of the deeper meaning of those words at the time. But as my cultivation progressed, those words echoed again and again in my mind.
  • I Am a Falun Dafa Practitioner

    When talking about interference by the demon of lust in Zhuan Falun (the core text of Falun Gong teachings), Master mentioned a story of a practitioner from Wuhan city. The practitioner saw Buddha Amitabha and Laozi while he was doing the sitting meditation. Then Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara showed up and tested him by creating some flying heavenly girls. In the past I only realised that this was for teaching us how to deal with demon of lust. Recently, I suddenly enlightened to something more.
  • My Students Begin to Support Falun Gong As I Continue to Talk to them

    Campuses all over China have been haunted with homicides and suicides lately. As a schoolteacher, it breaks my heart to see what the students in China have come to. As a Falun Gong practitioner, I concluded that the climbing crime rates on today's campuses would not be so high if not for Jiang Zemin's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, who conduct themselves according to Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
  • High-Ranking Officials In Heilongjiang Province Receive Karmic Retribution

    In August 2004, the Heilongjiang Province Forced Labour Bureau formally made a decision: all Falun Gong practitioners illegally sentenced to prison in Heilongjiang Province had to serve their sentences in Hulan Prison. Hulan Prison usually imposes long sentences on prisoners. Since August, 2004, practitioners Liu Fenglin, Han Jianmin and others were transferred to this facility and persecuted.
  • An Act of Great Compassion

    ...is it not right to broadcast on Chinese TV networks TV programs that contain the truth about Falun Gong in order to safeguard the most fundamental virtues of the mankind, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance,” to call for help to rescue kindhearted people who practise Falun Gong, and to awake the conscience of the Chinese people who have fallen prey to the Chinese Communist Party’s slanderous lies?
  • 154 People Declare that their Words and Deeds Under Forced Brainwashing are Null and Void

    A "solemn declaration" is a person's public statement declaring to the world that whatever he or she has done or said under duress or deception that was against Falun Dafa is null and void. Most of these statements have come from Falun Dafa practitioners in China who wished to express regret that, in the face of physical torture and brainwashing, they had signed documents renouncing Dafa and guaranteeing not to practise again.
  • I Practise Falun Gong; The Persecution Can't Affect Me (Part 4)

    I again had blood in my urine and my whole body was in pain. On the seventh day, I suddenly started to vomit huge amounts of blood. At the time, the prisoners were very scared. They banged on the door and asked for the police and prison doctor. Meanwhile, Falun Dafa practitioners in different cells were also alerted. Yet, after vomiting blood, my stomach soon felt better and I was no longer in pain. After that, I was in a semi-conscious state. It was as if I had reached the limit of enduring the mental and physical torture.
  • A Small Practise Site in Mainland China: Studying the Fa and Clarifying the Truth Together

    During the past five years, with Master's help, we have continued with our group Fa study and sending forth righteous thoughts. No matter what the weather is, no matter if we were busy or not, we have continued post to materials. When there was no electricity we would use candles, and we'd wear boots and carry umbrellas in the rain in order to continue putting up materials. Currently, there are four new practitioners in our village.
  • I Practise Falun Gong; The Persecution Can't Affect Me (Part 3)

    An officer then squatted behind the stool where I sat and stretched his hand inside the overcoat to drag my hair back so that my head was lifted. Another officer stood behind me to force me to look as if I was tearing a book with both hands. I grasped my fists to my chest so that they could not get their way. One officer tore a book and threw it onto me, another seized the chance to sprinkle water on my face to concoct a tear. I closed my eyes without any expression. I thought that as long as I refuse to open my mouth they could not fabricate any facts.
  • Clarifying the Truth for Four Years; Each Day Is Like the First Day

    "...After practising Falun Gong for only two and half a months, I restored my health and could carry a sack of flour weighing 55 lbs by myself to the fourth floor." The General Manager said, "Our finance department told me that you haven't made any health insurance claim for the past six years since you started practising Falun Gong." I added, "Do you remember that, before I practised Falun Gong, I was admitted to the hospital and cost our company 17,000 yuan in medical expenses?" "Yes. Yes. I remember."
  • Comments on Xinhua News Agency's Repeated Fabrications about the TV Tapping

    This time, instead of calling the responsible person a "Spy for Imperial America" as occurred during the Cultural Revolution, the crime became "conspiring with Taiwan Independence Activists." When you thoroughly read Xinhua News Agency's "report," you find no witnesses or hard evidence, only words designed to provoke hatred by taking advantage of the antagonistic feelings of those Chinese people who do not support Taiwan's independence. This method is just like what was used during the Cultural Revolution.
