With Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions, All of the Schoolteachers' Employment Contracts Were Corrected
2005-05-22
I went to the principals office and said to her, "I've given my situation a lot of thought, and I've decided not to quit my current position, nor sign the contract." The principal asked many of my colleagues, all of them my good friends, to try and persuade me to give in. I was glad in my heart when they came to me, because I had such a wonderful opportunity to reveal the truth to them. One by one they came to ask me to compromise, and I answered each of them in turn. Whenever a colleague came to me, I told him or her the truth; once my colleague understood, he or she would leave. -
To the Leaders of Singapore: It is Wise to Embrace Righteousness and Abandon Evil
2005-05-21Even as people throughout the world criticise and condemn the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for persecuting Falun Gong, a Singapore court, under the influence of the CCP, handed down guilty verdicts for two Falun Gong practitioners, sentencing them to heavy fines and imprisonment on April 27th, 2005. Obeying the directions of the CCP has brought serious harm to the government and people of Singapore. -

2005-05-21
Recently, scientists have discovered that the cosmos is experiencing unprecedented dramatic changes while other galaxies are separating from the Milky Way at an accelerating speed.

Declarations of Quitting the Communist Party Hit Dalian City's Streets, China
2005-05-20One declaration was taped to a bus stop booth near Sanba Square (see picture below). Another was posted on a bulletin board on Lijia Street. Pedestrians stopped to read them carefully. This kind of declaration has never been seen before in China and has caught the attention of people, who are interested in the contents. After reading the declarations, their expressions become serious. It is clear that the declarations are thought provoking. -

My Thoughts on the Hong Kong Supreme Court Protecting Constitutional Rights
2005-05-19On May 5th, 2005, Hong Kong's Supreme Court overturned convictions against Falun Gong practitioners given by a lower court. They had been charged with blocking public access and obstructing the police. Two practitioners were falsely accused of "assaulting police officers." In a summary of the case, the court said that the freedom to peacefully demonstrate is a constitutional right in Hong Kong. The court ruling also recognised that since the demonstration was legal and thus the arrest was illegal. -
Commentary: Singapore's Judges Trample the Dignity of Law
2005-05-19Has a pedestrian committed the crime of disturbing the peace when he yells loudly for help while being assaulted by bad persons? Has a person committed the crime of breaking and entering when he rushes into someone's house to put out a fire? Every law has many clauses and details. However, these clauses and details, no matter how numerous, cannot cover all of the varied circumstances in actual society. Therefore, police officers need to know how to enforce the law using appropriate measures, and the judges need to make proper explanations and judgements during court cases. -
"The Chinese Communist Party is Corrupt, Withdraw as You Wish" - Comments a Political Science Teacher
2005-05-19Two days later she came back to see me and said, "Sister-in-law, I have decided to withdraw from CCYL. I have discussed it with the teacher in charge of our class. I asked the teacher if the CCP is good, and she replied that it is already corrupt. I then asked her if Falun Gong is good. The teacher said that Falun Gong is very good, but its practise is difficult because one has to restrain one's heart and be a good person. -
Singapore Is Not Special
2005-05-18When we talk about Singapore, it is easy to associate with some of its "special" conditions. Singapore is a city-state, it is a small region and it does not have natural resources to support its development. Economically, it relies on foreign countries, especially China. Many people have a certain understanding and tolerance for Singapore's inclination to ingratiate itself with the Chinese government, but this should not influence our righteous thoughts regarding this region. -
Some Thoughts about Coordinators
2005-05-18 I often felt that fellow practitioners have preconceived notions that coordinators must be steadfast and have good enlightenment quality, and that we are well qualified to be a coordinator and leader for fellow practitioners. As a result, many fellow practitioners unknowingly treat the coordinators as how they would treat the leading personnel of an administrative unit in ordinary society, instead of seeing them as a fellow practitioner. This presents a rather significant test for our coordinating practitioners. -
A Dog Saves Its Owner
2005-05-18 Just after he said that, unexpectedly the dog stood up and barked twice at this practitioner. The man explained to him that the dog didn't want him to leave. After a while, the other practitioner stood up and said goodbye, but the dog ran to him and barked once, as if asking him to stay. The two practitioners had to sit down again. They urged their friend to reconsider resigning from the Communist Party. But he was still reluctant to do so. -

Declaration by a Former Detention Centre Guard Who Has Awakened to the Truth
2005-05-17Since I exposed the details of the persecution that some of the Falun Gong students sent to our detention centre experienced, the officers involved were scared. Later, the authorities investigated this incident and held me responsible. I was not able to withstand the pressure and wrote a so-called "self-examination" statement, which contained words disrespectful of Falun Dafa. Now I solemnly declare null and void the entire content of that statement. -
Falun Gong is a Ladder Leading me to a Bright Future
2005-05-17When I first had a go at the Falun Gong exercises I felt that my body was full of energy. I was so warm and comfortable, not only that but I also felt very light after practising. From that very moment, I realised that I really needed this and I wanted to learn Falun Gong. Two months later, the test I went through was not in a dream but it was my husband who tested me to see if I had confidence in practising Falun Gong. It was very late and I came home as usual from the practise site. We had a chat and unexpectedly, my husband said that Falun Gong was not good. -
