Stories of People Starting to Learn Falun Dafa in Prison

"Falun Dafa has changed me for the better, so I am determined to practise it."

A female inmate who was been detained in the Dongcheng District Detention Centre, Beijing, made up her mind to give up her vices after learning the real facts about Falun Dafa and learning about the principles of Falun Dafa. She started to practise by learning the exercises from the practitioners who had been unlawfully detained in prison. A guard tried to stop her but was unsuccessful in his efforts. The guard asked her why she wanted to practise. She said, "The Party has not been able to change me into a better person after all these years. It is Falun Dafa that changed me. That's why I want to practise it." The guard said, "Then practise it during the mornings when you go back home."

"I would rather be shackled and sent to prison than give up my practising of Falun Dafa."

A female inmate from No.7 Department Detention Centre in Beijing, experienced immediate benefits from hearing about the principles and about the truth of Falun Dafa. Her migraine headaches were cured. So she began to practise the exercises with the practitioners and protected them from the persecution whenever she could. When a guard found out about this, he threatened to beat her, but she would not give in. Then the police forced her to sleep by the restroom and shackled her hands behind her back for a whole month. It is hard for most people to endure this type of treatment even for a few days, yet she endured the great pain. She said firmly, "I would rather be shackled and sent to prison than give up my practising of Falun Dafa."

"The most regrettable thing is that I cannot get a copy of Zhuan Falun."

After meeting many Falun Dafa practitioners in the Shenyang Detention Centre in Liaoning Province, a female inmate realised the truth about Falun Dafa. She regretted that she did not know about Falun Dafa earlier, or else she would not have committed the crimes that had landed her in prison. She decided to study and practise with the Falun Gong practitioners. The police tried to stop her by shackling her legs for 15 days, but she didn't give in. She said, "The most regrettable thing is that I cannot get a copy of Zhuan Falun [The main book of Falun Dafa]."
