The World Takes Solid Steps to Oppose the Persecution by Accepting its Victims
2005-10-05Canada's Prime Minister Paul Martin raised the issue of the persecution of Falun Gong when he met with Hu Jintao on September 9th, 2005.

Letting Go of the Attachment to Selfishness
2005-10-05Many fellow practitioners that were close to me also heard them and felt uneasy about them. However, I was not moved. Thinking as a cultivator, I should not be moved by negative factors. I must keep my character high. Was it because I did not study the Fa well these days? The answer was no. Was is because I did not do enough exercises and send forth righteous thoughts? The answer was again no. I sent forth righteous thoughts at least eight times a day and also did the exercises every day. What was the reason for these rumours? I felt frustrated. -
An Open Letter to Western Society from a Falun Gong Practitioner in China
2005-10-04Falun Gong practitioners simply will not relinquish their belief in the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." They have no political agenda. Their very yearning for goodness scares the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which claims that China's human rights situation is now the best ever. However, the "best" by CCP standards only means that citizens have the right to survive. Basic human rights are in fact not protected in China. -
A Change of Heart by Criminals Condemned to Death
2005-10-04He told the practitioner frankly: "Three days before you came, I was told they would send a Falun Gong person here. They asked me to treat you viciously if you were not already dead. Now I realise that Falun Gong teaches people to be good and is a righteous Law. I can tell you I have done all kinds of bad things, but I will not take part in persecuting Falun Gong. I would not be where I am today if I had known about Falun Gong earlier. If I have a chance, I will learn Falun Gong so that I too can be a good person." -
WSJ: China's Internet Censors Fight a Losing Battle
2005-10-04In addition to human censors, all Web site-hosting services have also installed keywords filtering software. Posts on politically sensitive topics, such as Falun Gong, human rights, democracy, and Taiwan independence are routinely filtered. A list obtained by the Berkeley China Internet Project last year found that over 1,000 words, including "dictatorship," "truth," and "riot police" are automatically banned in China's online forums. -
International Rescue Efforts Show Defeat of Chinese Communist Party's Lies
2005-10-03On September 21st, 2005, more than six years after the Chinese Communist Party began persecuting Falun Gong, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Li Weixun was able to come to the United States as a refugee under protection by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR). Ms. Li does not have any family in the United States. This is not just a matter of Ms. Li beginning a new life in which she can freely practise her faith, but a statement by the international community of support for Falun Gong. -
The Hong Kong Administration Needs To Revisit Rationality
2005-10-03This irrational contempt of the court began with the illogical actions by the Hong Kong government in February 2003, when Hong Kong practitioners held an experience sharing conference. Eighty Falun Gong practitioners from Taiwan travelled to Hong Kong to attend the event. Without explanation, the government barred all eighty practitioners from entering Hong Kong. This is an contemptible human rights violation by the Hong Kong government who behaved as a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). -
Let More People Like Li Weixun Live in Freedom
2005-10-02On September 21st, 2005, Ms. Li Weixun, a Falun Gong practitioner from Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province in China was successfully relocated to the United States. The effort involved the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), U.S.-based Friends of Falun Gong, U.S. State Department, U.S. Congress, and several NGOs. -
Falun Dafa Saved My Entire Family
2005-10-02Now my father is healthy. He has gotten rid of those things that had accompanied half of his life: smoking, drinking and pills, and in particular, the drinking. My whole family used to be hurt so deeply by his addiction to alcohol. Now it's so great because he quit drinking. We can't put into words how grateful we are to Falun Dafa. My mother used to get mad easily. If you asked her to endure, she could not endure. Later when she saw the change in my father, she also wanted to start to practise. -
We Must Be Diligent in Our Final Steps of Cultivation
2005-10-01Some elderly practitioners are very attached to affection for family. They put most of their attention on their grandchildren, and worry about their health and comfort. With such a strong attachment, their grandchildren "happen" to have accidents all the time (actually it is the evil interference). As a result, those elderly practitioners are so busy taking care of their grandchildren that they have no time for Fa-study and no mood for truth-clarification. -
An Indomitable Spirit Resists Persecution and Torture, and Persists in letting more People Know the Truth
2005-10-01The cadre from the 610 Office replied, "You have been detained for three years. You don't know that the Falun Gong followers now openly act against the CCP and the government." I explained, "We are only fighting for basic human rights and for a peaceful cultivation environment. We only want to be a good people. Does that constitute a crime? As an innocent person, I was incarcerated for six years. How do you justify that?" They were left speechless and didn't dare say one more word. -
A Political Science Professor in Taiwan Discovers Falun Gong
2005-09-30Professor Ming said: "I took up the exercise together with my wife. Within a year or so, the benefit was huge. My sleeplessness disappeared, and now it takes less than 10 minutes before I can be in sound sleep. My mental state is naturally better as a result. The pain on my right side of the lower abdomen is gone and so is the occurrence of blood in my urine. What is more, all these wonderful things happened naturally. -
Facing A Death Sentence from Liver Cancer, Falun Dafa Saved My Life
2005-09-30My recovery greatly amazed my family and friends. For a long time, people were forced to be quiet and obedient under the evil party's high pressure. Now they are amazed by the miraculous effect that has been unveiled before them. With the support of my second sister, my family members have learnt the truth and now believe in Falun Dafa. Four of us have now started to practise Falun Gong. -
How Can Uterine Cancer Disappear in Just Three Weeks?
2005-09-29One day, all of a sudden, she thought of her mother who was over 70 years old. Her mother had been practising "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," the principles of Falun Gong, for more than eight years. Her mother had been very ill and weak before learning the practice. She used to drink wine with every meal, three times a day. When she saw her kids, she would cry in front of them. Her son and daughter wanted to see her but they were simply afraid to. Ever since she began practising Falun Gong however, she got rid of her drinking habit and fully recovered. Now she is very healthy and well known in the village. -
The Kind Actions of Falun Gong Practitioners Move Those Around Them
2005-09-29On the second day, the village accountant passed by. He stopped his truck and said, "Thank you very much, Falun Gong practitioners! It has been a headache to pass this section. The ditch made it very hard to drive. If you go too fast, the bumper may be damaged. If you go too slowly the engine dies. If anyone comes again to arrest practitioners, we will help you and stop them." He then joined us in repairing the road.
