Stories from Falun Gong Practitioners in Moscow

2006-01-17

Some practitioners in Moscow persist in practicing in the park all year around. In winter, ice can reach a depth of over a foot. Some practitioners help set-up exhibition boards explaining Falun Gong; some help to find a place for Falun Dafa materials, such as newspapers and greeting cards; and some practitioners stamp the ice down on the ground to tread out a field for practicing. Then everyone practices together. In a world of pure white ice and snow, the fresh air is beyond comparison with any other indoor practice site.

My Experiences Practicing Falun Gong

2006-01-16

I used to have frequent pain in my eyes, and it was particularly difficult for me to look at the computer screen. Since I had this dream I can now look at the computer screen with no problem. Sometimes I can read the Falun Gong lectures on the computer for four to five hours at a stretch without moving my eyes from the screen.

Significance of Thinking of the Fa and Master at Crucial Moments

2006-01-16

Usually, we are able to treat ourselves as Falun Dafa practitioners and act according to Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance in our cultivation practise. We are able to look within ourselves and maintain the righteous thought "What do I have to fear when there is Master1 and the principles taught in Falun Gong?" However, at crucial moments, facing unexpected tests or tribulations, whether we are able to realise immediately that we are Master's practitioners and to be able to ask Master for help is very important.

Falun Dafa Helped Me Recover from My Drug Addiction

2006-01-15

In fact, I was also frustrated with myself. I really hoped that I could free myself from my addiction and begin a new life as a good person. I did not want to get my family members into trouble because they loved me so much; I did not want to break social norms as a result of my bad behaviour; I did not want to live a life that's neither ghost nor human, but I was unable to commit myself to the changes I wanted to make. I became more and more addicted to drugs and my health became increasingly worse. I felt as if I was on the verge of death.

Family Elder Praises Falun Dafa, Security Officer Has a Change of Heart

2006-01-15

After the elder learnt the truth (about Falun Dafa), he said: "It turns out that most people don't know the truth. Falun Dafa teaches people how to be kind, and how could that be wrong?" The elder recites "Falun Dafa Is Great" and Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance Are Great". When the Falun Dafa practitioner left that family's home, the elder said: "I will never be able to find a nicer person than you! Please find me other people like you who believe in Falun Dafa."

Three People from Beijing Experience the CCP's Attempts to "Preserve the Advanced Nature of Party Members"

2006-01-14

When the campaign to "Preserve the Advanced Nature of Party Members" began, he didn't participate in that, either. The leader of the party group went to his home to persuade him to attend. He said, "I strove my whole life for the party, but I was nearly tortured to death in the Great Cultural Revolution. Look how bad the country has become because of the party. Don't you know that a lot of people have withdrawn from the CCP? Is there any use in 'Preserving the Advanced Nature of Party Members?'"

"I Have Started to Practise Falun Dafa"

2006-01-13

At around the age of 30, I started to develop rheumatism, gynaecological problems, gastric disease, etc. I had tried different kinds of treatment methods, including Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but they were all ineffective. Although my initial purpose for reading Zhuan Falun was to become healthy and fit, in truth, I was really exhausted at that time, and I thought life had no meaning. On several occasions I contemplated suicide. Only after reading Zhuan Falun did I understand the real goal of life--to return to one's original and true self.

An Official from Linghai City Receives Karmic Retribution, Losing His Eyesight for Participating in the Persecution

2006-01-13

The practitioners tell people this in order to help those people who forget what is right in the face of self interest and defy the laws of heaven from suffering certain retribution for their crimes in the future. Lao Zi said "Reward for good and retribution for evil is like the shadow that continuously follows a person; you will meet with karma yourself in the short term, or your descendants will meet with karma in the long term." Westerners might say "what goes around comes around" or "you reap what you sow."

My Life Is Fulfilled in Falun Dafa

2006-01-12

By following the instructions I made informational materials. Basically I clarified the facts wherever I went. In the beginning I didn't know how to answer questions such as, "What is Falun Gong?" Gradually I was able to clarify the facts logically and reasonably. Some people would sincerely say, "Thank you" after they understood the facts. One cab driver shook my hand and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Experiencing the Magnificence of Falun Dafa through "Pudu," Clarifying the Truth and Encouraging Fellow Practitioners with Falun Dafa Music

2006-01-12

So I started to sing Pudu quietly. The leader felt strange after I finished the prelude and asked, "Your song doesn't have words? Only notes?" I turned around and looked at practitioners. Everyone was surprised with joy and some of them even hummed a little with me. Realising that everyone had understood me, I ignored the leader's question and continued. Before long, the class leader became quiet, and the beautiful melody made the environment peaceful and calm.
