  • A Chinese Police Officer Speaks Out

    Even more unexpectedly, while I was in the detention centre I met the Falun Gong practitioner whose office I had ransacked. He did not recognise me, but I knew him because I had seen his photo, and I also know his full name. So I quietly observed every move and word that he made but found his behaviour to be excellent.
  • Completing my Master’s Degree Thesis During Cultivation in Fa-rectification

    My fellow practitioners also saw that my schedule was a bit tight, so they reminded me not to have the heart for doing things. Schoolwork was also very important. We should also do well in the human level. It also validated the Fa. So, I started to think about it calmly. Why should I go out? Did I have an impure heart? How to balance the relationship of cultivation, Fa-spreading, and studying?
  • The Difference

    My son said: "[shouldn't we] send forth righteous thoughts to rescue the little girl’s Mom?" I was shocked at that moment and found the difference between my son and me. He had not been contaminated by the dye vat of everyday people’s society and could think of others first. By contrast, my selfishness was revealed entirely.
  • Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions of a Young Falun Dafa Practitioner

    On his own, he has kept up with clarifying the truth in China. He clarified the truth to his friends and classmates. The teacher in charge of his class was very verbally abusive to him and even beat him, so he said with a calm assurance, "Falun Dafa teaches people to be good, and I have been learning Falun Gong for so many years." Xiao Gang wiped away his tears and did not give in.
  • A Call to China

    I made some notes of a few simple and clear points to remind me. No matter what would happen, I would keep calm. I wanted to let the Chinese citizens realise that we were aware of what the Chinese government did to Falun Gong practitioners. We were making it clear that they should not assist in the persecution of innocent people.
  • Spousal Tribulations, Falun and the Lust Test

    One day I saw the girl (with whom my husband had had the affair) across a crowded shopping street and was overcome with compassion for her and for him. They seemed so lost in delusion but still trying to find a way out, albeit in a deviant way. I saw that all sentient beings are indeed suffering.
  • A Story about Ginseng

    Wild ginseng is found in northeastern China. The remote Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province is especially well-known for growing wild ginseng roots that are hundreds or even thousands of years old. But the legend has it that the real hometown of ginseng is Shandong, not northeastern China. The following is its story.
  • Every Name Has Its Power

    At 1 a.m. on February 6, 2003, my mother, Yang Yueli, called from Beijing and told me that she had safely returned home after having been detained for 400 days and nights. Due to the endless effort of the Global Mission to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners, the intense pressures from international organisations and overseas media, and with the help from millions of kind-hearted people all over the world, the Chinese regime finally released my mother who was detained groundlessly just because she practises Falun Gong.
  • I Won’t Complain About my Fellow Practitioners Anymore

    When something happened to a fellow practitioner, other practitioners would sincerely solve the problem for him. I could see that those practitioners considered other practitioners’ affairs their own affairs. When a problem arose, they did not try to “educate” and oppress practitioners but would solve the problem with him from their hearts.
  • To Complain Shows Looking Outwards and a Lack of Compassionate Thoughts

    At the exercise site, many practitioners have noticed that some fellow practitioners sometimes showed “complaining” in their spoken language. I myself experienced this condition too. So, this is why I’d like to share my personal realization on this and talk about my understanding of such an attachment as “complaining”.
  • Jiang Zemin, Article 23 and the "Final Solution"

    In his drive to eradicate Falun Gong he has also slandered, pressurised and tried to intimidate practitioners of all the nationalities in the 50 or more countries (China being but one) where Falun Gong is practised. He has tried this with a propaganda campaign both at home and abroad, the low cunning of which is historically unmatched. He has hoodwinked his own people with these lies and effectively made it illegal for them to be good!
  • A Story About the Son of a Public Security Chief

    As the persecution intensified, to protect his political career, this practitioner's father threatened to put his son in jail if he didn't give up his belief in Falun Gong. Having no choice, the practitioner left home and went on a very difficult journey to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to others, with only a few hundred Yuan in his pocket, a backpack full of truth-clarifying materials and a copy of Zhuan Falun.
  • Please Help Them!

    Practitioners are withstanding the suffering silently. Please help them! Once they are detained, every one is inevitably sentenced to the forced labour camp or prison. Just for distributing flyers, they get sentences of one, two, or three years in a forced labour camp. It is a much harsher punishment than criminals receive.
  • Realization Regarding “You are a Whole, just like Master’s Gong.”

    I realized then that my ideas to push my activities into the foreground had been a huge attachment, to only work in my city, in my area, and to do it well. That notion was like a wall that had separated me from working together with others, prevented me from becoming part of the whole. It finally dawned on me that the others had waited for me to finally join them and become part of the whole...
  • A Fable about Anger

    Once upon a time, when God had seen how the people had turned away from their evil deeds, he changed his mind about the calamity he had prepared and kept the inevitable disaster from them.
