A Letter of Appeal to the Supreme Peoples' Procuratorate from a 70 Year Old Female Falun Gong Practitioner in China
2004-09-01
At the time, I was the only Falun Dafa practitioner being detained at the centre. On the second day, they played a VCD showing a series of pictures of someone slandering Falun Dafa, with the intention of brainwashing me. I couldn't watch it as I know the truth about Falun Gong. My seven years of cultivation in Falun Dafa has shown me that this a genuine practice for upgrading one mind and body. I knew that Falun Dafa is really good. Hence, all the slander that they force upon me had no effect -
I Nearly Died from a Severe Kidney Disease Yet After Practising Falun Gong My Health Has Returned
2004-09-01I had tried almost everything, from Western medicine to Traditional Chinese medicine, and various Qigong masters to local folk medicine practitioners, but all had failed to cure my illness. Because of those experiences, I was sceptical that a book and tape of exercises could help me. However, after giving the matter a second thought I decided to try it out since my friend had travelled thousands of miles to bring me this book. I was really very moved by her concern so I thought I should have some consideration for her feelings. Therefore I said to her that I would read the book and then return it to her. -
Another Discussion on "Taking the Fa as Master"
2004-08-30Despite what one says, what matters in the end depends on what one can truly achieve. I thought about my past. When I was studying the Fa, I occasionally had doubts about a certain sentence. When sending forth righteous thoughts and doing other Dafa work, I also had doubts such as, "Will this really work? What if something goes wrong?" I never felt that I lacked faith in Dafa, but on that day I was shocked. -
Our One-Month Experience in Africa
2004-08-30Although African countries are generally poor, their legal systems mirror the western systems in form and substance. In contrast to China, the news media and legal practices are relatively independent of governmental functions. If we do well in spreading Falun Gong and clarifying the truth about the persecution, especially to the legal sector, then this lawsuit may not be the only one filed in the African countries. -
An Overview of Recent Lawsuits and a Look at the Consequences of Contributing to the Persecution of Falun Gong
2004-08-29Many successful high-ranking governmental officials have not paid enough attention to the Falun Gong issue, have failed to think independently, or have blindly believed Jiang's fabrications. They are deceived by the government-controlled propaganda. In fact, they are trapped by Jiang and his regime, have stopped thinking for themselves, and have passively followed or even actively helped contribute to the persecution in order to gain favour with higher officials and advance their own careers, thereby planting the seeds for punishment in the future. -
Falun Gong Practitioner Talks About Falun Gong to His Supervisor who Then Resists the Persecution
2004-08-29My supervisor then said to me, "You have clarified to the [Communist] Party that the practice of Falun Gong has no political aspirations, nor is it harming society or anyone, but instead helps you to become better people. Furthermore, you have been working hard with no complaints, and do not care about personal loss. Why should a good person such as yourself have to write a letter to forsake the practice? Let alone being fired... we will work on trying to keep you." -
Outraged Villagers in China Prevent the Xishui County Police from Arresting Someone who Practises Falun Gong
2004-08-28The news travelled like lightning throughout the village. Soon, one villager after another came running from field and home to Mr. Yao's house to explain to the police that Mr. Yao Wanglai was the best person in their village; that he was honest and kindhearted, observed discipline and always obeyed the law. Even the head of the village government stood up to the police and vouched for Mr. Yao's character as a rare and good person. Not only did the police ignore all the testimonials, they became increasingly aggressive toward the villagers. -
My Liver Problems, Coronary Disease, Blood Diseases, and Rheumatoid Arthritis Miraculously Disappeared
2004-08-28I did a good spring clean at home and I organised my home inside and out. It was really clean and organised. I delivered and picked up our child, did the grocery shopping, and cooked the meals. My husband saw this and was scared. He kept insisting that I take it easy so as to not get too tired. My neighbours were also very surprised. They had never seen me so active. I now experienced a what it was like to have body without any illness, and I found the true meaning of life. -
Taking a Righteous Step Towards Godhood
2004-08-27I realised that I did not want to face any hardships nor take any responsibility. I did not want to do many things nor to be too tired, and so on. All in all, I just wanted to cultivate in the way I used to do while I was a student, which was very comfortable as I had a lot of time for myself. However, cultivation is so serious, with a heart that seeks comfort, how can I say I am a cultivator? -
Only by Filling Our Hearts with Thoughts of Others Can We Have Immense Compassion
2004-08-27that is why eliminating egotism and selfishness should be done throughout the entire process of practice and Fa-rectification. In the process, egotism and selfishness is being eliminated little by little, one level after another. A little bit of it is eliminated here but there is still some left there; a little bit is eliminated in this level but there is still more in the next level. Only by constantly eliminating it will we reach Perfection. -
Spectator Writes to Newspaper Criticising Media for Turning a Blind Eye to the Persecution
2004-08-26"I am surprised that I haven't heard more reports about a U.S. congressional resolution (H Con Res 304 with 74 co-sponsors) urging the Chinese government to stop harassing and intimidating people who practice Falun Gong right here in the United States! Chinese, who come here to avoid persecution in China, have been subject to Chinese government surveillance, death threats, break-ins to their homes, and even a car was set on fire." -
Comments on the Banning of Overseas Satellite Television From the Chinese People
2004-08-25Yet Falun Gong has not been knocked down. Its principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance." It has been spread far and wide in the world. It has also won more than 1,200 acknowledgement and awards. Falun Dafa books have been translated into more than 30 languages. -
Eliminating the Concept of Rank
2004-08-24She replied, "The important practitioners have all gone to Congress to clarify the facts. We, the second rate practitioners, are the only ones left. Nevertheless, this activity is going rather smoothly." Although it was just a joke, the problems reflected here deserve our attention. Everyone is cultivating in Dafa; since when have we had ranks? Yet the notion of rank has become very common among practitioners, with some regions being worse than others in this respect. -
Continuously Improving Ourselves
2004-08-24In Western societies, many people give more weight to form and pay less attention to the inner meanings of things. They over-emphasise the value and pursuit of the individual. People will see such problems in individual practitioners. To a practitioner, the purpose of exposing one's problems is to provide an opportunity to get rid of them as soon as possible. If instead of eliminating them, we try to cover them up, or even try to paint them as good, it will only have a negative effect when validating Dafa. -
Debunking the "1400 Deaths" Claim Used by Chinese Dictator Jiang Zemin and his Regime to Defame Falun Gong
2004-08-23At least at the beginning of their practise, their purpose was to keep fit or to treat illnesses. Therefore, even if all the 1400 cases were real (which means 200 deaths a year), the death rate is only one ten thousandth, which is much lower than the normal death rate of the Chinese people.
