Poem: Honouring the Fa

Honouring the Fa Before I am taken away, Let me read my experience sharing article. I feel unspeakable joy and solemnity. Only because I am assimilated to the Fa, Has my life become Truthful. Let life be splendid, In honouring the Fa.

Fa: Teachings and principles in the Buddha School.

Background of the Poem

In November of 1999: Falun Gong practitioners from 13 provinces of China, Australia, US, Sweden and other places gathered in Guangzhou to hold a special experience sharing conference. Every participant wrote his/her experience of cultivating Falun Dafa in the seven months since April 25. They all felt that they had the obligation to help other practitioners to be determined about their cultivation of Falun Dafa in the current difficult situation.

All 17 practitioners were taken into custody.

A poem was formatted from the heart-rending words of Ding Yan who was at the experience sharing conference. The simplicity and nobility of the words, in the face of being arrested and persecuted is a great testament to one’s ability to follow the Fa. Some police officers were also moved to tears when they heard this poem.
