A Cultivator’s View Regarding Adversity
2005-04-16Adversity can mean an ordeal, a disaster, demonic interference, an ailment, or bodily suffering. The Chinese character for adversity also means “difficult.” Whether or not a task is easy depends on people’s attitude. There is no standard demarcation. -
Two Stories of Amazing Improvements to Both Mind and Body
2005-04-15One day in 1997, a person asked me to listen to the lectures by Teacher Li Hongzhi. The more I listened to him, the more I enjoyed it. When I came to the second videotape where he talked about quitting smoking, I wanted to quit right away. I had been smoking for the past 20 years. Miraculously, on the second day, I managed to quit smoking and have not wanted to smoke since then. Falun Dafa's principles truly attracted me and taught me where illness came from, how to be a good person, and how to be a cultivator. -
Epoch Times: Withdrawals from Chinese Communist Party Surpass 700,000
2005-04-15The average number of withdrawals from both the Communist Party and the Youth League is 15,000 to 20,000 per day. Due to the strict intensified Internet blockade in China, the number of people who can declare their withdrawals online is restricted. Nevertheless, the number indicates the rapid spread among Chinese people of news about the withdrawals and the book behind the movement, the Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party, published by the Epoch Times in November. -

The Local Cultivation Environment is Important
2005-04-14Many practitioners are quite busy these days, revealing the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution, often through national or international projects. Also, most practitioners have jobs and families, and when all is said and done, the first thing that comes to mind might not be to go outside and practise. You might do it by yourself, at home, instead. That has been the case for me, anyway. Most of the time, I have been with the others practising indoors on Sundays, but that has also been suffering lately, due to my own complacency. -
Elimination of my Fundamental Attachments
2005-04-14The next morning, after a good nights sleep and a changed outlook, Gloria had changed too. She no longer fussed when I put her on the floor when making my breakfast. This had never happened before. I felt such a relief. Such change continued. I was able to accept more and more Gloria as an independent individual whose path had been pre-determined and that I was a part of her life. I am learning to let go more and more. -
Worldwide Commentaries: Eutelsat’s Bowing to the Pressure from Beijing will Harm Global Investors' Interests
2005-04-13According to a report on the website of Reporters Without Borders on March the 15th, 2005, bowing to Beijing’s pressure, Eutelsat will stop broadcasting the programmes of the New Tang Dynasty TV (NTDTV.) It was reported that since its subsidiary NSS started to broadcast the NTDTV’s programmes to Asia, China included, on July the 1st, 2003, the Paris-headquartered Eutelsat Satellite Company has been repeatedly threatened by the Chinese Communist regime demanding to cancel all the programmes provided by the NTDTV. -
Petition Letter Asks President Bush to Urge Eutlesat to Reconsider Its Decision to Deny Service To NTDTV
2005-04-13If NTDTV is silenced, it will enable one of the world's worst violators of media freedom and human rights to re-establish full censorship over the broadcast information available to its citizens. In light of our nation's pre-eminent role in promoting transparency, openness and freedom overseas, the silencing of NTDTV's broadcast to China is an unacceptable outcome. -
A Non-Practitioner's Doubts about Falun Dafa are Removed After Witnessing a Family Member Escape Injury in a Dangerous Pressure Cooker Explosion
2005-04-13On March 4th, 2005, my point of view changed when I had an opportunity to experience an amazing occurrence in my own home. After personally experiencing Falun Dafa's miraculous nature, I would like to publicly exclaim from my heart, "Falun Dafa is good!" -
Where does the Money for these Geneva Activities Come From?
2005-04-12Since the year 2000, each March and April there are one to two thousand Falun Gong practitioners from Europe, Asia, Australia, North America and South America going to Geneva to raise awareness of the persecution against Falun Gong in China. Where does the money for all their travelling and materials come from? -
Dear Colleague Letter in US Congress Asks President Bush to Ensure NTDTV Broadcasts to China Not Cut
2005-04-12Unfortunately, Eutelsat, a Paris-based satellite company that transmits NTDTV over Asia, has apparently caved in to pressure from the Chinese government to stop beaming content that is uncensored and sometimes critical of the PRC. Eutelsat has notified NTDTV that it will stop broadcasting the channel to Asia on April 15th. If Eutelsat succeeds in silencing NTDTV, it will enable the PRC, one of the world's worst violators of media freedom and human rights, to once again re-establish full censorship over broadcast information available to its citizens. -
Leukemia Patient Recovers from Near Death
2005-04-12Time passed quickly. The New Year came. I was getting ready to go home and celebrate the New Year. The hospital did a comprehensive checkup on me. When the report came out, the chief and the doctor in charge were shocked. How could a leukemia patient who fell and injured himself recover so well? The pathological cells had vanished and my blood counts were basically normal. The doctors said that I was the first leukemia patient in their hospital who spent the least amount of money for chemotherapy treatments, yet showed the best results. -
What Will You Do When the Wave of Withdrawal from the Communist Party Comes Unexpectedly?
2005-04-11There have been many lessons like this over the course of history. People are accustomed to predicting what will happen in the future based on their own life experiences. However, many important things that occur in human society are beyond people's imagination. For instance, the Cultural Revolution, the Tangshan earthquake, the collapse of the communist Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the outbreak of SARS, the tsunami in South Asia were all unexpected by many people before they actually happened. -
A Labour Camp Guard Has a Change of Heart
2005-04-11In Liaoning Province there was a guard who worked at the Fushun City Forced Labour Camp. Since the persecution of Falun Dafa started, he was deluded by the lies issued by Jiang Zemin and his regime and was extremely vicious and fierce toward the Falun Dafa practitioners in the labour camp. He frequently assaulted the practitioners savagely, acting as a hatchet man for Jiang's regime. -
A Doctor's Testimony: My Family is now Harmonious Thanks to Falun Dafa
2005-04-11He told me, "I may die anytime. Please bury me at this place." I said, "Please recite sincerely from your heart, 'Falun Dafa is good' and 'Truth, Compassion and Forbearance are good.' Our teacher will help you and you will not succumb to the disease." He did what I told him to do, and immediately he felt much better. Surprised by the miracle that "Falun Dafa is good" brought, my husband started watching Teacher's lectures every day, and he rapidly recovered. He quit smoking after having smoked for thirty-five years. Falun Dafa has given him new life and hope.
