Taiwan: Inmates at Tainan Prison Benefit from Practising Falun Dafa

In order to provide better care to the inmates, the administration of Tainan Prison invited Falun Dafa practitioners to hold a nine-day Falun Dafa class in the prison. The class was completed successfully on February 23rd, 2007, and the attendees said that they benefited a lot in both mind and body. They thanked the practitioners again and again.

In March 2006, Falun Dafa practitioners held the first nine-day Falun Dafa class in Tainan Prison. Several inmates shared their experiences and expressed the wish to continue learning Falun Dafa. After making some arrangements, a Falun Dafa class was scheduled for every Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Falun Dafa practitioners went there to lead the exercises, study the Fa and to share experiences.

In December 2006, Falun Dafa practitioner Dr. Lin Guizhong was invited to give a speech at the prison, to introduce Falun Dafa. His speech received a warm response from the inmates and many asked for the book Zhuan Falun and began to study the book on their own.

In February 2007, a nine-day Falun Dafa class was held in the prison again. This time, the attendees listened carefully and their understandings were deeper.

A young inmate said he used to like meditation but was interfered with by some invisible things and became frightened. He felt that Falun Dafa is righteous and safe. He said that Falun Dafa explained many things from a scientific viewpoint and is very convincing. If one has a calm and peaceful heart, doesn't easily lose one's temper, one will have a better health naturally. He decided to cultivate his xinxing [heart/mind nature; moral character] and do the exercises.

A middle-aged inmate said that he used to have a lot of health problems. Recently, he began to do the Falun Dafa exercises two hours before sleep every day. The next morning he always feels happy and light hearted. He said that he changed after reading Zhuan Falun and doing the meditation. He used to be bad-tempered and often swore at others. Now, whenever he had the thought of swearing at someone, it seemed like Master reminded him by saying, "Falun Dafa is good." He then calms down.

One man said that Falun Dafa is very good and that the energy field is very strong. He loved Dafa and wanted to do the exercises every week.

Another inmate thanked the practitioner for bringing Falun Dafa to them and said he wanted to continue studying Dafa.

Practitioner Chen Baishiang encouraged the inmates and said that they must look inward and change themselves when they have conflicts with others. He told them, "When other inmates notice your good changes, they perhaps will change their attitude toward you and it may help them to also obtain the Fa."
