  • Is It True that the Weak Cannot Prevail over the Strong?

    In history, there are countless exceptions to the belief that "the weak will succumb to the strong." For example, Mahatma Gandhi, one of the founding fathers of modern India, led a nonviolent revolution that ultimately dismantled the British Empire and replaced it with the Commonwealth. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is one of the greatest leaders and heroes in America's history, and in the modern history of nonviolence and organised civil rights movements.
  • A Russian Neurologist Talks About Falun Gong

    Its higher-level universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, the easily understandable explanations about humankind and the universe, plus the five gentle and easily learnt exercises, attracted many people to willingly take up the Falun Gong practice.
  • Looking Inwards Rather than Outwards

    I thought that I had taken the loss and gain with regards to image and self interest very lightly, but when I dug deeper, I realised that I should also have given up the losses and gains with regards to image and self interest involved in participating in Falun Gong activities. I have also realised that I have more tribulations when I have not studied the Fa well. When I can do the three things better and have strong righteous thoughts I cannot be interfered with.
  • Requiring Oneself to do the Three Things Well

    To show the true facts about Falun Dafa, practitioners have even set up media outlets, making efforts in all aspects. But when different ideas occur that cause arguments, which can be seen as the inevitable problems and is a crucial element in our cultivation, some practitioners are unable to reach an agreement because of their individual attachments. Dafa work and individual cultivation are affected by the lack of a thorough understanding of the Fa and the impracticality of the ideas.
  • A Beijing Doctor Talks about the Inconsistencies Surrounding the Staged Tiananmen Self-Immolation Incident

    "I know the hospital where the girl stayed has long been using a special medicine produced by its own doctors on burn patients. Such medicine needs to be soaked in alcohol before it can be applied on burnt skin. Doctors must make sure the burnt skin is left exposed, without any gauze or bandage covering it." However, Li Siying was wrapped with gauze when she was interviewed by the reporter. This doctor stated clearly, "This is no doubt faked. It's apparent the authorities were making up things to frame Falun Gong."
  • Please be Responsible for Your Conduct

    Falun Gong practitioners never oppose the Chinese government, and have never violated any of China's laws. In fact, many people within the Chinese government oppose the suppression of Falun Gong, many of those people have family members who are Falun Gong practitioners. You may have noticed on Falun Gong websites articles that fully reflects the situations of Falun Gong practitioners, all references to "The Chinese government's suppression of Falun Gong" try to make it clear that it is not China that opposes Falun Gong, but Jiang Zemin and the "610 Office."
  • Why Former Chinese President Jiang Zemin Created the "6-10 Office"

    Facing the wide spread suspicion from overseas, Jiang dares not invite Falun Gong or any other third party to investigate these cases, and did his best to blockade the news about these suspicions instead. Moreover, any individual or any activity that spreads the truth about Falun Gong will be instantly given a guilty verdict and will be sentenced under Jiang's orders.

  • My Personal Experience of Practising Falun Gong

    I will never forget the first time I practised the Falun Gong exercises. It was in Hillhead library. I learnt about the classes from a leaflet. On the front of the leaflet, the words ‘Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance’ were printed. At the time I never paid much attention to these words. What attracted me to the practice were the words – ‘Suitable for all ages’, ‘Relieves stress’, ‘Increases energy levels’, ‘Improves health’, and ‘Free and easy to learn’. These were exactly the very things in my life, which I needed.
  • Some Thoughts on "Choice"

    In the beginning, my understanding of the term “choice” was quite limited. In this maze of human society, people face two choices whether to believe in the propaganda issued by former Chinese President and dictator Jiang Zemin to develop hared towards Falun Dafa or to rationally look at both sides to see that Falun Gong is actually just a peaceful cultivation practice. This choice determines their future.
  • Thoughts About the Situation in New York

    No matter whether it’s the power of evil or the power of justice, they all form their own complete system. Our local activities should also act in accordance with the current cosmic climate. At present those Falun Gong practitioners in New York are holding torture exhibitions on the streets everyday, shouldn’t we also increase our local activities and place more emphasis on doing the three things well?

    During the competition, our group cheered the loudest. When the match ended and the team from China had won, the team members greeted the spectators. Attracted by our cheering, one member turned to look in our direction and she was suddenly dumbfounded. We knew that she saw the words Falun Dafa. Thus, not only did she know that there were people practising Falun Gong overseas, but even Western people were practising it. Those who practice Falun Gong also cheered for them and supported them.
  • A Chinese Policeman from Dalian City Learns The Truth

    There was once a lonely old woman whose home was raided and her life's savings robbed. How would she survive in the future?

  • Family of a Falun Dafa Practitioner Takes a Stand Against Falsifying Evidence

    One day in 2002, officer Li from Hezhuang Township went to Liu Rongxin's home and said, "The township government still has the 2,000 yuan bail money you paid. If you agree to slander Li Hongzhi (founder of Falun Dafa), and let some journalists take pictures and videos, we will return the money to you." Ms. Liu's family member was very angry upon hearing that; "I won't do it if you returned the 2,000 yuan; I wouldn't do it even if you give me an extra 2,000 yuan."
