Experiences in Establishing Swedish Radio Program “Falun Gong Time” (Berlin Fa-conference 2003)
2003-12-08I now understood that if the Chinese consulate wanted to stop our radio program, then it is of outmost importance that Radio Falun Gong Time continues, to explain facts about Falun Gong and the persecution. Clearly, they are very scared when we expose all what they want to conceal to the surrounding world, and they are afraid of the truth we broadcast which can reach thousands of people and change their hearts, especially now when it is possible to listen to the program live, on the Internet, around the entire world. -
Establishing the Swedish Radio Programme "Falun Gong Time" (Berlin Fa-conference 2003)
2003-12-06Using the media is a quick way to expose the evil and people on a large scale. Almost two years have passed since we established “ World Falun Dafa Radio” on the 4th of Jan. 2002 in Gothenburg, Sweden. From conception to launch, from one language to the three languages that we use to explain the facts to people, this process has not been plain sailing. Under the guidance of our respected Master’s teaching, every member of the (radio) team is strict with themselves according the standard of the Fa, in improving our character. -
About Having Steadfast Faith in the Fa
2003-12-05When doing Dafa work, I often find one situation, namely, some practitioner “gives up” on another one. In other words, when a practitioner sees another person having some attachments for a long time, he will therefore think that it’s impossible for him to give them up. Thus, when we hold activities, the practitioner who has “given up”on another might say, “If you ask that practitioner to join the activity, he will have such and such reactions. I just know him!” -
Some Thoughts about Selflessness
2003-12-02One day when I was working in a kindergarten, another teacher was busy writing notices to the parents before the classes ended. Since I did not have anything to do, I decided to sweep the floor. Since sweeping the floor was actually the responsibility of this teacher, what I decided to do would make others feel it was a compassionate action. When I was sweeping the floor, I started realizing that the mind-set that led to the decision was not pure. -
With Compassion, Hurrying to Explain the Facts With Our Media (European Fa Conference 2003, Berlin)
2003-12-01For a long time I had felt that the best way to clarify the truth and save people was to do it directly face to face through passing out materials, collecting signatures etc. I would even think working with websites, radio and TV was a waste of time. But now after I have gained a deeper understanding I have totally changed my view. Through being a part of the Radio program “Falun Gong time” ( A weekly program transmitted in Sweden) it has been a process for me to really get an understanding of how important and precious our Dafa media is. -
Some Thoughts On Clarifying The Truth To Overseas Chinese
2003-11-29I feel the prevailing viewpoint that fellow practitioners hold about secret agents is still confined to the attitudes of everyday people such as “wickedness”, “injustice”, and “defence”. There is no intention of saving them at all. The best way to improve an environment is to improve ourselves. While some people say the society is a big dye-vat, we should ask ourselves why, after such a long time, we still fail to dye those secret agents with the beautiful colors of truthfulness, benevolence and forbearance. -
Opening Speech for the 2003 European Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference in Berlin
2003-11-27In Year 2001, the Gothenburg Fa Conference marked the beginning of the practice of holding two pan-European Fa Conferences per year, i.e., after the Geneva Fahui in the Spring, a further one is held in the summer or autumn of the same year. In 2002 we were in Copenhagen, this year we gather in Berlin. -
The Basic Requirements of News Writing (Part 1)
2003-11-26If one does not seriously consider one's readership before writing an article, the article will reflect this, and as a result, the article might not be understandable to all readers. There might be some words for practitioners, some words targeting everyday people, and some targeting those misguided people who persecute us. Consequently, the article may not have the greatest effect because it doesn't focus on one type of reader. -
Placing Falun Dafa Leaflets in Every Public Library in Ireland
2003-11-22I immediately became aware that this was the Fa working. We then considered the idea that the leaflets could be spread throughout Ireland, and if we were diligent in our cultivation and maintained a state of righteousness and righteous thinking, then everything would fall into place. It was obvious that a system of library distribution was up and running in each Irish county and it was wide open to be tapped into. -
Genuinely Looking at Myself, Taking Steady Steps in The Final Part of My Path of Cultivation (Irish Fa Conference 2003)
2003-11-16In recent times, a series of xinxing problems arose, and I didn’t conduct my character well. Because I hadn’t upgraded my character, the tribulations became bigger and bigger. I indulged myself in small things, gradually they developed into bigger problems. For several times, I didn’t pass the tests. I lost my rationality, hence I indulged myself in demon nature; only then did I became gradually vigilant and start to examine myself deeply and look inward deeply. -
Assimilating to Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance (Irish Fa-Conference 2003)
2003-11-14I knew that Falun Gong was being persecuted when I was in China and my parents do know that Falun Dafa is good. However, Jiang’s regime persecutes Falun Gong, and has also spread slanderous rumours throughout the world. Under this pressure from the Chinese government, I didn’t get a chance to learn more about what Falun Gong was. Then I got a visa to come to Ireland. I knew a lady when I was in China and her daughter was in Ireland, so she asked her daughter to look after me when I arrived. I was moved by her warm-heartedness, I think she really is a good person. When I arrived in Ireland, she came to collect me from the airport. Since that second I felt I had a special predestined relationship with Ireland and didn’t feel lonely at all. Both this lady and her daughter are Dafa practitioners. -
My Sharing on Studying the Fa and Fa Rectification (Irish Fa-Conference 2003)
2003-11-12I remember at the beginning of my entering the college, most of the Chinese classmates had never met with Dafa disciples. When I wore my Dafa clothes on entering the classroom for the first time, everyone went dead silent, quietly looking at me. I knew I needed to use my concrete actions to validate Dafa in the near future. Everyday I arrived the classroom a couple of minutes early, cleaned the blackboard and tidied up the desks and chairs in the room. I always warmly greeted my classmates first upon meeting them. I never got cross with them even if they did not respond to me. -
Taiwan: Some Thoughts on the Rescue Petition Drive at National Chung Cheng University
2003-11-11With the extensive media coverage, Hsiao-kai Lin, who was illegally detained by China, was eventually released. However, many mainland wives of Taiwanese citizens are still being illegally detained in mainland China. They are just good people striving to live up to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. It is unbelievable that these people are being treated as criminals. -
France: Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference held in Paris
2003-11-05The French Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference was held in Paris on the 26th of October, 2003, with more than 150 practitioners in attendance. The auditorium was sacredly decorated. In the background Masters portrait was displayed, with two colorful Falun emblem banners hanging on either side. -
Purity of Words
2003-11-05When reading classical Chinese literature, such as Shijing (Also called The Book of Songs, this is the earliest collection of Chinese poems including 305 poems of the Zhou Dynasty, 1122-256 B.C.) and Shen Xian Chuan (A collection of stories about celestial beings in ancient China) I found that ancient people chronicled events with a peaceful mind. They seldom used words and expressions steeped in emotion. No wonder Confucius said: Among the three hundred poems, one sentence can cover all of them, i.e., the thought must be pure and righteous.
