  • Experiences and Reflections on Introducing Falun Gong and the Persecution in Manhattan (Part 1)

    She looked at her mother and hesitated a little bit before she took a leaflet from me. Then she boldly stepped forward and said to me sincerely, "I hope you get what you want." I bent down slightly and looked into her big eyes, which were filled with sympathy, and said, "Thank you. You are a very nice girl. Please tell the story of Falun Gong to more people. That way you are helping us to stop the persecution." She was relatively young, so she was speechless for a while before she responded, "I will."
  • Feeling Neither Discouraged in Difficult Times nor Smug during Smooth Times

    Of course, during those two days, we met some reporters who accepted our leaflets. One man in a business suit initially refused my leaflet until I said, "It's been five years, and more than a thousand people have been tortured to death." He immediately showed an interest in reading our material and put a copy of our newspaper in his suit pocket. Many people told us that they already knew about us and had been keeping track of our status.
  • Two Falun Gong Practitioners from Germany Introduce People to Falun Gong and the Persecution in New York

    Before reaching New York, we had the opportunity to tell people the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution in China in many places in North America . Most American’s are rather inquisitive and open to human rights discussions. Subjects such as freedom of belief and religious freedom are of great importance to Americans.
  • A Taiwanese Falun Gong Practitioner Tells of Experience in Argentina

    The book exhibition was opened for VIP's and specially invited guests for three days from April 13th. The general opening ceremony was held on April 16th, when it was opened to the public.

Publishers from over 400 publishing companies and bookstores from all over the world came to attend. There were also special halls representing each of the Central and South American countries, introducing their cultural aspects.
  • Letter from a Spanish Lawyer to the Chinese Judiciary and Forced Labour Camps Appealing to Stop the Jiang Regime's Genocide

    "Out of respect and love for the Chinese people, plus to protect human rights, I cannot remain silent when confronting this brutal and illegal persecution. Human rights is the basic value of human kind, the human rights of everyone should be protected no matter where it is. As a human being, I should offer my help to people who have been persecuted for five years. Therefore, as a lawyer, I have filed lawsuits against Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan and Jia Qinglin in Spain. They are accused of committing genocide and torture."
  • Grumbles from China Central Television Employees

    "...What's the disagreement? The regime is fighting with the public. Furthermore, Falun Gong practitioners are all good people, and it's very hard to find them doing anything bad. You're forcing us to a fake program to denigrate Falun Gong, to frame Falun Gong by claiming they kill people? How can we do that kind of thing? We have no choice but to scrape it together! What is being broadcast are all fake films anyway. This will be just another failed political movement at the whim of Party elite. Those who suffer will all be common people!"
  • The After Effects of My Concussion Went Away

    One day in mid-March of 1997, I had the most unforgettable day of my life. I met a friend on the street, and she asked me to go to practice Falun Gong. I didn't think much of it and went with her. At that time I knew nothing about the practice, I just followed the movements. Then, after a few days I suddenly had a big appetite. I ate three bowls of rice in one meal, whereas before I could only eat a small clump of rice due to the gastritis for the past decades. Without noticing, all the uncomfortable symptoms I had in the past disappeared completely.
  • Going Beyond Being Good - Consciously Discarding Attachments and Continuously Elevating

    I have noticed that many practitioners have not moved on from their understanding of being good in the context of everyday people and have not elevated. When conflicts happen, they tend to use the human mentalities to judge right or wrong without seeing their own attachments even when the same problems happen again and again.
  • Brief Analysis of the Mentality of Depending on Others

    I was practicing Falun Dafa, quietly participating in activities to introduce people to Falun Gong and the persecution, even as I kept busy with studies and my two positions in the student council. I graduated from college easily and even got an "Outstanding Student" award. More importantly, many of my classmates were able to understand the truth about Falun Dafa's situation and learnt that Falun Dafa is good.
  • Weathering the Storm, Chapter 1 of Part One

    Their unanimous verdict was that intracranial artery aneurysm is a rare and difficult disease to treat and the international medical community has yet to develop an effective cure for this disease. But after practising Falun Gong for just two months, my intracranial artery aneurysm miraculously disappeared. I experienced the joy of being completely healthy for the first time in my life. On July 20th, 1999, the regime of the former Chinese President Jiang Zemin violated the Constitution of the People's Republic of China and started a ruthless persecution against Falun Gong and its practitioners
  • An Inmate Asks Me to Teach His Child How to Behave

    With tears in their eyes, several inmates were very emotional and told me that if they had known Falun Gong and its teachings were about how to be a good person, they wouldn't have committed their crimes or ended up so badly. Each person involved in beating me up under police instructions came to apologise and asked me to forgive him for his wrongdoing under police pressure.
  • My Understanding on the Importance of Showing People what Falun Gong is Really About

    The effectiveness of our truth-clarification is not only a test of how well we study and assimilate the Fa, but also a test of how effectively we send righteous thoughts. If we hold our attachments tightly when clarifying the truth it will offset the effectiveness of our truth-clarification and maybe it will also become a loophole that will be taken advantage of.
  • "Remaining Unaffected" Is a State of Mind of Enlightened Beings rather than a Method for Reaching a Goal

    We should not have the concept of being happy or unhappy. It was inevitable that the evildoer would step down, and this event has nothing to do with what we Falun Dafa practitioners need to do.
  • The "6-10 Office" and "Anti-Terrorism"

    Over the past five years, the "6-10 Office" has been directly responsible for the abductions, detentions, brutal torture, and deaths of numerous Falun Gong practitioners. People call it the most powerful agency in China, just like the Gestapo during World War II. Knowing that the "6-10 Office," the largest terrorist organisation in over 5,000 years of China's history, is taking a role in "anti-terrorism" is enough to make one's blood run cold.
  • Practising Falun Dafa with Determination Restores My Eyesight after Severe Accident

    After I recovered, I immediately returned to the coalmine. The head of the mine, as well as those who knew what had happened, were all shocked to see me, "Have you really recovered?" The boss was still not convinced: "Come, walk around and let us have a look." I walked around naturally and showed them. The boss was stunned. With thumbs up he said, "Falun Dafa is good! Your Teacher is really extraordinary!"
