Has the Natural Environment and Climate of Mainland China Generated the “Evil”?
2005-11-03During the past five thousand years, Chinese culture has been based on the semi-theistic civilisation of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. China has always been referred to as the “Land ruled by Heaven’s Laws” and “Divine Land” But during the last fifty-odd years when it has been under the dictatorial and autocratic rule of the evil Party, many evil things have occurred. What caused the evilness is not the natural environment or the climate of China, instead it is the inherently evil characteristics of the wicked Party. -
A Principal and Teacher in China Stand Up For Falun Gong
2005-11-03All the school leaders present, including the principal in charge of political education and the homeroom teacher, tried to help the Falun Gong practitioner. As a result, the 610 Office people did not find any proof. In the end, the principal invited the 610 officials into his office and gave examples of how kind and hard-working the practitioner was. He also expressed his sympathy for the practitioner, who had been persecuted for over six years. The principal said, "Of the over 200 teachers and staff in the school, everyone thinks that the teacher is a good person." -
Our Minds Should be Calm; We Should Not be Attached to Time
2005-11-03Some practitioners always discuss when Fa1 Rectification is going to end, and they have joy written all over their faces as if they are hoping that it will end soon. They don't realise something. If they have not cultivated well, if it ends early, won't they lose the opportunity to cultivate? -
After Hearing the Truth, an American Government Official Comments, "Now I Know How to Help You!"
2005-11-02Talking about the relationship between the persecution of Falun Gong and the U.S. Government, and explaining how the Chinese Communist Party regime uses cheap labour to rake in international capital and then utilises the money to persecute Falun Gong and trample on human rights, is very effective. It helps many people understand why Falun Gong practitioners continue to have a strong public presence on the streets of Manhattan. -
Stomach Cancer Patient Leads a New Life After Desperation
2005-11-02My son and my husband were preparing for my funeral.

Afterwards, after many people with predestined relationships heard about my amazing experience, they all wanted to cultivate in Falun Dafa. -
"What I Experienced is Only the Tip of the Iceberg" - An Interview With Ms. Li Weixun - Part 2
2005-11-01Although I am living in the USA "where the sun shines brightly," my heart is always in China. I worry about my family, my fellow practitioners living in exile, my fellow practitioners being persecuted in prisons and labour camps, my fellow practitioners who are risking their lives going from door to door to let people learn the truth about Falun Gong, my compatriots who have not yet learnt the truth, because they are still travailing in the darkness before dawn. -

Taking Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts Seriously
2005-10-31At noon I arrived at Tiananmen Square and sat down to send forth righteous thoughts. Then I stood up, walked a few steps and took out a piece of paper from my bag. A plainclothes policeman immediately rushed over to me. I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the demons behind him and pretended to ask him for directions. As a result, he just left. I continued to send forth righteous thoughts. -
Do Not Try To Hide From Cultivation By Busying Ourselves With More Things
2005-10-31The fact is, many practitioners are stressed out with the many things that they are already doing, and in some cases, the things they're already doing are not going as well as they should. It is also the case that veteran practitioners who have taken on many important responsibilities are being attacked with huge illness karma. Why is this the case if doing more things is supposed to be the answer? -
"What I Experienced is Only the Tip of the Iceberg" - An Interview With Ms. Li Weixun
2005-10-30I held a hunger strike to protest. I hadn't done anything wrong so I refused to answer their questions. The police folded a soft-cover book and hit my head with it. They handcuffed my hands behind a chair and lifted my arms until the handcuffs cut into my wrists and blood oozed out. They stepped on my toes with their hard boots and ground them back and forth. They kicked my ankles and shins and struck my shins with three-inch thick metal bars. I gritted my teeth and refused to talk to them. -

Contrasting Photos
2005-10-29When I speak to people in Mainland China about Falun Gong and the persecution, I find that people often use the arrests of protesters in other countries as excuses why the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should be allowed to persecute the people of China. They say that "all crows are just as black under the sky." If Western countries can arrest protesters, then it's all right for the CCP to abuse human rights. These Chinese people feel justified to be indifferent about this unprecedented persecution that is currently happening in China. -

2005-10-29Before long Tang Xiaohong, the prison guard in charge of the female cells, learnt about this and called the girl to her office. "You are not allowed to practise Falun Gong! If you continue I will handcuff you!" For the first time in years, the girl spoke very politely and sincerely, "Officer Tang, you know very well what kind of attitude I used to have and how bad a person I was before. You can see with your own eyes that I am really a different and much better person now. Why don't you let me practise?" -
Falun Gong Human Rights Newsletter: Where in China Are Your Dolls and Toys Made?
2005-10-28What Falun Gong practitioners have further revealed is the absolute cruelty in the Chinese laogai system that had previously evaded academic description.
