  • A Miracle Occurs in Australia After A Young Woman Shows Signs of Remarkable Recovery from Life-long Disabilities after Practising Falun Gong

    She was classified as mentally challenged, and had a deformed and bent spine with a fused lumbar region causing a lifetime of acute pain. She could only stand for a very short period of time. We used a wheelchair for outings and shopping, as any leg movement caused severe pain, from the bottom of her feet up to her head. Life was difficult and frightening for Renee, with very little ability for academic achievement.
  • Relatives and Neighbours Learn the Truth about Falun Gong

    I thought that by improving my heart according to "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" would lead to my recovery. By practising Falun Gong, all of my illnesses have now disappeared. Since then, I haven't suffered from any form of illness and have been very healthy. I am now determined in practising Falun Dafa more than ever.
  • Letter to Fellow Practitioners by a Falun Dafa Practitioner in China, Prior to Her Imprisonment in a Forced Labour Camp

    The following is a letter addressed to those who practise Falun Dafa that was written by a Falun Dafa practitioner from Kaifeng City, Henan Province in China before she was sent to a forced labour camp. This practitioner has been detained many times and subjected to several brainwashing sessions. Despite this, her determination to follow Falun Dafa's principles has never wavered.
  • Pinochet Faces Trial so Why Wait to Bring Jiang and His Accomplices to Justice?

    According to Jiang Zemin and his regime's confidential orders he stated with regards to those who practise Falun Gong, "Beating them to death is counted as suicide, there is no need for their families to identify the bodies, and cremate them directly," a state of affairs even more startling then that enacted by Pinochet has existed in China for over five years. This ongoing persecution has resulted in over 1,100 confirmed deaths. According to internal statistics generated by Chinese officials, the death toll at the end of 2001 had actually reached 1600.
  • A Brief History of Events Leading Up to Jiang Zemin's Irrational Persecution of Falun Gong in China

    Today, elderly Chinese people can still vividly recall the series of framing, fabrications and persecution cases during the "Anti-rightist" movement and the Cultural Revolution. After the economic reform and "opening-up" policies took effect, China's economy developed quickly and the financial environment loosened up, but the same cannot be said about the government's iron-fisted control on diversity of thought.
  • The Cultivation Story of a Native-American Woman from Peru

    One sunny weekend, people saw an elderly Indian lady and her son come to the Falun Gong exercise site. When the graceful Falun Gong exercise music played, the mother started her journey of cultivation. After practising the exercises and watching Teacher's nine lectures, the next day, her ears were painful and itchy, and then, the magnificent world was not quiet any more, as she could hear again. Once more, tears flowed down her face.
  • Who Actually Killed "Golden Phoenix" Mr. Xie Hongyu?

    The Yunnan Daily printed a story that claimed Mr. Xie Hongyu had become infatuated with Falun Gong and committed suicide. Then on September 24, the paper published another report entitled "The 'Golden Phoenix' Who Should Not Have Fallen from the Sky." Later, the CCTV (China Central Television) program Interview on Focal Points used the same story to create rumours to link Mr. Xie's death to Falun Gong. These were not independent reports; they were produced by government controlled media organisations.
  • Elderly Army Veteran Regains His Health after Practising Falun Dafa

    In October of 1994, I had a heart bypass operation. After the surgery, my heart only had one-quarter of the functions a normal heart has. One year later, during a checkup, it was found that two of the vessels in my heart were clogged, which could lead to sudden death.
  • An Aromatic Lotus Flower: A Young Russian Falun Gong Practitioner

    When this elderly lady returned she realised that Sofia had carried out these tasks really well. She was so happy that she even kneeled on the floor in front of Sofia to express her thankfulness. Sofia’s face reddened to the ears, so much so that she hid her face with her hands. Actually, so long as it is something for Dafa, Sofia will actively and conscientiously take part.
  • Only With Firm Belief in Falun Dafa and Teacher Can We Do Well

    That evening, the pain became excruciating. The following day, the pain became almost unbearable. During the night, because of the pain, I often could not breathe. The pain I felt cannot be described in words. I can only say that to be alive and feel such pain is almost worse than dying. For 24 hours a day, the handcuffs remained in place. Guards arranged for a person to help me brush my teeth, eat and relieve myself. Some criminals shuddered after seeing me handcuffed like that. Every second of such suffering felt endless. The cell head said I would have to write the Guarantee Statement.
  • From Misunderstanding Falun Gong to Starting to Practise Falun Gong

    The campus was full of pictures of people who had died. As college students who respected science, we were sad for those Chinese people with no scientific knowledge; we both hated and sympathised with those Falun Gong practitioners. However, we did not think carefully about the obviously doubtful points in their logic: Why were so many people practising and cultivating it? Why did those terrible incidents, including the self-immolation, murder, and self-abuse, never happen before the 20th of July, 1999?
  • Introducing Scottish Children to Falun Gong

    I related my miraculous recovery and improved character after learning Falun Gong. I also told the children that Master Li in the core text of Falun Gong, Zhuan Falun, says - “You should always maintain a heart of benevolence and a mind of kindness,” And that If I lived in China, it is very likely that I would be imprisoned in a Forced Labour Camp and tortured for following this principle. The children realised the great injustice and cruelty of the situation in China.
  • Bearing Witness to History: A Photo of Group Practice in Taiyuan City, China in 1998

    This photo was taken prior to the time when the persecution against Falun Gong was officially instated on the 20th of July 1999 by the former dictator of China, Jiang Zemin. The photo was shot on the 29th of August, 1998 when Falun Dafa practitioners in Taiyuan City held a group practise session of the Falun Gong exercises.
  • An Open Letter from an Overseas Chinese National in the UK to Officials in Chongqing City, China

    Now over 10,000 perpetrators were listed by the International Organisation to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong. The names of many officials and police in Chongqing City appear on the “List of Perpetrators.” Once one’s name is recorded on the “List of Perpetrators,” they will be arrested when travelling abroad. Besides, the perpetrators, just like the World War II prisoners, will be brought to the court; the perpetrators will face lawsuits against them just like the evil police who were shot to death for their crimes committed during the Cultural Revolution.
  • My Stomach Disease of 30 Years Was Completely Healed After Practising Falun Gong

    Not long after I started practising Falun Gong, my stomach disease of 30 years was eliminated. I have to admit that it is truly a miracle! What most impressed me was Master Li's emphasis on cultivation and improvement of one's xinxing (mind nature, moral character). Only by continually improving our moral standard and spiritual realm, attaching less importance on personal fame and self-interest, getting rid of all kinds of bad thoughts, unnecessary worries, keeping a peaceful and serene state of mind, can a person truly achieve mental and physical health.
