  • Someone who Doesn't Practise Falun Gong Asks, "Why did I Hate Falun Gong?"

    I have finally found out the real reason I have hated Falun Gong in the past few years. Under the attack of the intensive propaganda these past few years, many people in Mainland China have misunderstandings and even developed hatred towards Falun Gong. The reason for their hatred is more or less the same as mine. It is funny that those in power who really hate Falun Gong cite this as their evidence of "support from the majority," but they forget that this so-called "fact" is because they have controlled the media, covered up the truth and kept people from finding out for themselves.
  • My Testimony: Severe Liver Cirrhosis Disappears after Practising Falun Gong

    After practising for only one and a half month, I lost 3 Jin. I no longer feel bloated after each meal. My bowel movements are now good. All the accumulated fluid in my abdomen is also gone. I feel wonderful! I will persevere in practising even if it means more hardships. For such a good practice, why not? I feel better day after day. My mood improves from one day to the next. Before, I had even contemplated suicide because of my unbearable sicknesses.
  • Cultivating our Hearts Whilst Taking Part in Falun Gong Activities

    I found that the Dafa materials were not put in good order when stored in the garage; banners, SOS T-shirts, and videotapes were everywhere. Upon one practitioner's suggestion, we tidied things up. In my opinion, the Dafa materials, banners, and SOS T-shirts are all purchased with money that practitioners scrimped and saved to get. Every Dafa practitioner should cherish those items. We all know to take good care of our Falun Dafa books. The same holds true for Dafa materials, banners, and videotapes. We should cherish everything related to Dafa.
  • Clarifying the Truth to Government Officials

    If each person can spend one hour to call one or two government offices or organisations, the cumulative effect will be immeasurable. Everyday we would reach others. Our righteous thoughts would help government officials know the truth at a deeper level in order to choose the right position for themselves. In the meantime they can accomplish their assigned responsibilities in the international community. For Dafa practitioners, it’s just a small thing to do during lunch time every day.
  • Who Is Truly Controlling the Minds of the People in China - Part Four

    Jiang's group has been exploiting the Communist Party's tradition of launching massive political movements. They have organised large-scale activities: groups watching movies, mass denouncement, and the Million People's Petition Drive, etc. to force the people of the whole nation to become their accomplices. Whoever doesn't support their crimes, or whoever dares to express their sympathy and support for Falun Gong will be severely punished.
  • Patient with a Breast Tumour and Bone Cancer Obtained a New Life after Practising Falun Dafa for Less than Three Months

    I received chemotherapy in the hospital for three years. I cannot express with words the suffering I endured. Even though I kept taking medication every day, in April of 2004, my tumour came back and metastasised to the bone (bone cancer). After I went to the hospital, my doctor said it was impossible to be completely cured. The only thing that could be done was to use chemotherapy, which might ease my sickness and relieve the pain for the time being. The doctor told my family members: "She will be paralysed soon."
  • Belgium: Falun Gong Spokesperson's Speech at an Interparliamentary Conference on Human Rights and Religious Freedom

    "The world has already spoken out against China’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Members of democratic society have condemned China’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong. The U.S. Congress and the European Parliament, for example, have specifically passed resolutions calling on China to stop the persecution of Falun Gong and supporting the human rights of Falun Gong."
  • Cultivation of Selflessness

    I remember that, on my cultivation path, I used to always think about how to pass a certain test or how to eliminate a certain attachment. At the end of last year when I thought back about my cultivation path, everything became so simple. That is, when I put together the several incidents that had the biggest impact on me, I realised that the cultivation path is a journey of cultivating "selflessness."
  • On Poetry

    Looking at the English poetry on some of our websites, much of it is in a more modern style. Some is written without particular emphasis on rhyme, rhythm, meter, etc. However, from reading Master’s lecture on fine art several times I came to the understanding that the requirement for poetry, just as art, for the future is that it follows an upright and traditional path.
  • How Falun Dafa Changed my Life in Prison

    She then clarified the truth to me, which greatly surprised me. I realised Falun Gong is not like what the TV described after all. Still, the police put good people who believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance behind bars. After hearing her words, I commented from the bottom of my heart, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. If everyone were like you Falun Gong practitioners, this world would be so wonderful!"
  • Seventy-Year-Old Ms. Liu Chaofen Appeals to the People's Congress and Prosecutor in Yunnan Province

    I believe that my daughter has not broken any laws by distributing Falun Gong leaflets. Falun Gong does no harm the social order or any individual. On the contrary, such behaviour of distributing the truth of Falun Gong is respectful of every citizen's right to know the facts, is helpful to the judiciary and is beneficial to uphold the dignity of law. No single piece of information in these leaflets is against the Communist Party or our government
  • Firmly Believe in Master and in Dafa; Use Every Opportunity to Explain the Facts About Falun Dafa to the People

    "There must be some organisations donating money to Falun Gong; otherwise, how could they support themselves until now?" My employer said, "I know about this; my friend practises Falun Gong. Every time she joins any activities she uses her own money that she saved from her daily living expenses." After she returned from work she told me, "Look, even those Westerners won't believe that Falun Gong does not have any external support. Today I spoke out for you and finally they believed me." She also told me, "I was lucky that the first Falun Gong practitioner I met was you."
  • Those who Practise Falun Gong Outside of China Also Need to Pay Attention to Security

    On the issue of security, Falun Gong practitioners outside China live in an environment that is relatively amiable and one that has an established legal system, so they are sometimes complacent and do not pay enough attention to security. When we as Falun Gong practitioners rely on non-practitioners for our security, it actually means that we have not studied the teachings of Falun Gong well enough.
  • Who Is Truly Controlling the Minds of the People in China - Part Three

    The core of Jiang's followers' persecution of Falun Gong is to imprint their anti-Falun Gong sentiment into the minds of the Chinese public. Under this campaign of state-sponsored terror, not only Falun Gong practitioners, but also all Chinese people are being deprived of their independent thinking and right to express different ideas. People are without choice but to accept Jiang and his followers' way of thinking.
  • A Third Party Commentary on Why Chinese Dictator Jiang Persecutes Falun Gong

    It is fairly easy to figure out that Jiang suppressed Falun Gong because he was so jealous of Falun Gong's popularity. At the same time that the number of cultivators grew so rapidly, he became less and less popular. He lost his senses due to jealousy, and this was the most foolish thing he has ever done.
