By Practising Falun Gong, a Late-Stage Lung Cancer Patient Gets a New Lease on Life

2007-01-23

People told my husband, "Why don't you grant her wish? She is dying. Let her do whatever she wants!" With my husband supporting me, I slowly walked to the Falun Gong group practice site. It was most curious that an unintelligent and uneducated person such as I would be able to learn Falun Gong's five sets of exercises by imitating them.

All My Happiness Comes from Falun Dafa

2007-01-22

For the first half of my life, I struggled between having enough to eat and being forced to do physical labour. After I got married, I suffered immensely from various illnesses and lived under constant pressure from my family. I felt like a hopeless walking corpse. I would like to share my experience of the endless misery I suffered to finally being given a new life and a bright future from practising Falun Gong; just like a full moon after the dark cloud has passed.

A Lesson Learnt from the Attachment of Seeking Comfort

2007-01-22

I also used the excuse that we need to conform to the way of society as much as possible to conceal my attachment. I did not want to address it or bring it up with other practitioners. As a matter of fact, I protected this attachment, for which I paid dearly. Here I want to share my experience with fellow practitioners so that they can draw a lesson from it.

Looking Inward

2007-01-21

A few days ago during experience sharing, we were repeatedly discussing how to solve a conflict between two practitioners. The two practitioners had big conflicts cooperating with each other, and there was also a relationship involved. We spent the whole evening discussing it but were not able to resolve it. We felt that something was not right. How come we kept criticising others? Let's look inward!

Do Not Provide a Hiding Place for Acquired Notions

2007-01-21

I would find topics to talk to her about and try to keep her staying longer, consciously or not. Even if I did not have the ability to help her, I would try my best to seek other possibilities, etc. On the contrary, if an unattractive girl comes to ask for my help, I would have no such feeling and would not do the same thing. I would follow all protocols for handling business and refuse her without any hesitation if I could not help.

After Over Seven Years of Persecution, Falun Gong Stands Rock-Solid

2007-01-20

The former head of the CCP, Jiang Zemin and his gang panicked and took even more measures to block the Internet. They also installed along the country's borders and on the plateaus equipment to interfere with satellite TV signals from other nations. They equipped National Security agents and the police with advanced technology. Special purpose vehicles, with antennas mounted on the top that can detect radiation from computers, roamed the streets.

The Wave of those Quitting the Chinese Communist Party Is Unstoppable

2007-01-20

Mencius said "A benevolent person has no enemy." However, the belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance is far beyond what "benevolence" can express. If "benevolence" has no enemy then the principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" has no enemy. To be able to persuade people to distinguish right from wrong and to quit the evil CCP to regain the purity of life, freedom, and safety is one of the concrete manifestations of the belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.

A Simple Illustration of "Non-Omission"

2007-01-19

I hesitantly handed the bag to the woman and said, "Here, I have a plastic bag. It has holes too, but you can try it." She took my bag and wrapped it around her bag of soybean milk. It turned out to be quite effective in stopping the leakage. After a while some milk began to leak out again, but the amount was much less than before. I thought that if we had had a third or fourth plastic bag, even if each one had holes, together they could have stopped the leakage completely.

An Inmate in Taiwan: I'm So Grateful for the Chance to Learn Falun Dafa

2007-01-19

I have improved my character and understanding through studying the Falun Gong teachings and practising the Falun Gong exercises. I have also gradually let go of some of my attachments. For a long time I was not able to get along with other prison inmates. Now due to my practising Falun Dafa, I adhere myself to follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance (Zhen-Shan-Ren). Whenever someone needs help, I will try my best to give him a hand.

The Epoch Times: Where Do My Wares Come From?

2007-01-18

According to Amnesty International, those Chinese who are receiving terms in labour camps are denied access to a lawyer and have no court hearing. "Sentencing" is usually decided by the Chinese police alone. Chinese people can be retained in a labour camp for up to four years and are at high risk of being beaten or tortured, particularly if they refuse to recant their "crimes".

2007-01-18

We at the (unnamed) Police Station have persecuted many Falun Gong practitioners in days gone by, causing you to suffer untold misery and separating your families, and resulting in broken homes and devastation. All of us police officers at the station sincerely apologise to you, and we are truly very sorry. We were all forced by the Chinese Communist Party.

Studying the Falun Gong Teachings Allows Me to Understand the Inner Meaning of Falun Dafa Cultivation

2007-01-17

We could not have persisted in the group study of the Falun Gong teachings, the Fa, in Kumamoto City without the great effort of the local Chinese practitioners. Since the Japanese practitioners don’t know the Chinese language, this form of group study in Japanese is a precious treasure to our local Japanese practitioners. With regular improvements in our understandings of the Fa, however busy we may be, many of us actively attend the group study.

Why I was Feeling So Irritable

2007-01-17

I have been in an irritable mood for a long time, and it has not been eliminated. This kind of irritable mood manifests in different aspects of cultivation practise. It even becomes habitual, which is not easy to perceive. It is not merely having a bad temper. Behind it are many hidden attachments.

Witnessing Miracles in the Five Months Since I Began to Practise Falun Dafa

2007-01-16

This February I had an opportunity to read Zhuan Falun. I was immediately fascinated by the principles in the book. Although there were things that I didn't understand, my feeling then was that everything I'd been searching for in my life was in the book. I really enjoyed reading it, but I was hesitant to walk away from church to practise Falun Gong. I'd already changed religious practices four times.

Western Practitioner: My Journey to Finding Falun Gong

2007-01-16

I explained that in time Falun Dafa was going to make me a better person. I reminder her how much more calm I was getting; that I was no longer loosing my temper any more; how my language was getting cleaned up. I had stopped drinking alcoholic beverages and getting agitated. I attributed all these changes to Falun Dafa. I reminded her that, although we both were practising Christians for many years, nothing really changed in our life. Only Falun Dafa could change me.
