Thoughts After a Visit to France: The Falun Gong Practitioners That I Met
2005-03-08The mother then asked her husband, a senior engineer, if he could eat up the leftovers of mine. The husband also agreed. I felt ill at ease about it and tried to take back the leftovers.

Our respectful teacher, Master Li, has also taken the leftover of practitioners in some occasions.” This was the first event that moved me on the trip. -
An Irish Practitioner Commemorates Mrs. Taylor
2005-03-08Lord Moyne and Sue were a couple. We called Lord Moyne by the name of Johnson, which is his real name, Moyne being the title conferred on him or possibly inherited. When they came to Dublin, they would often stay at where we lived and eat what we ate, and were very easy-going. Lord Moyne practised Yoga. As a man of over 70 years old he could still do a handstand. He mastered four languages, both spoken and written; his other languages were also very good. -
Lessons Learnt from the Attachment to Time

Experiences of a Teacher from Taiwan: Immersed in Falun Dafa, My Body and Mind are More Comfortable
2005-03-07My spine always felt unbelievably painful, and I often needed someone to give me a massage. I tried physical therapy and heat treatments, but neither was successful.

Crape Myrtle, an Old Man and the Communist Party
2005-03-06He was no longer the happy-go-lucky person. The trees were cut and the grass and flowers were pulled because they were considered signs of capitalism and had to be eradicated. He fell into a deep sorrow over the plants and trees that he had so lovingly cared for over the years. His crippled leg worsened and he frequently wandered on campus like a lost child. One day, he secretly tried to plant a few bunches of crape myrtle on campus. The Red Guards found out, pulled the plants, and beat him. The suffering was too much for him and he fell ill. He struggled for a couple of days in his small dark room, and then left this world in sorrow. -

He continued, "If you would like to take care of us, just take care of our fields; the fields desperately need water." -
Reflections on Laws and Legal Community in China After Reading Lawyer Gao Zhisheng's Open Letter
2005-03-05In his open letter, Mr. Gao reveals that, in dealing with Falun Gong practitioners, "The attitude of law enforcement in China is to view the law to be as worthless as a pair of worn-out shoes." What they are doing is against the law, but yet they are doing it in the name of the law. The whole legal system, according to Mr. Gao, "Has become numb toward the law, human nature, and human dignity. They are completely irresponsible and deal with everything randomly." -
CCP Secretary of Henan Province Xu Guangchun: One Of Those Most Responsible For Spreading Hate Propaganda To Sustain The Persecution Of Falun Gong
2005-03-05Xu Guangchun was one of those high-ranking officials. The amount of money involved was astounding.

Falun Gong Brings a Seventy-year-old Back to Life
2005-03-05After studying and reading Zhuan Falun many times, I started walking by gradually leaning on a stick, which I have now discarded to walk freely.

The elderly woman thanked the practitioner and stated that she and her husband would recite, "Falun Dafa is good." -
My Experience of Practising Falun Gong and Helping Highlight the Persecution in Peru
2005-03-04I told her, "Ambassadress, you have also read the book and practised the exercises. Please frankly tell me, is the practise good?" She said, "Of course it is good! My health improved a lot after practising the exercises. However, since the government doesn't permit us to practise, you must stop it. Moreover, it will have a tremendous impact on your husband's business with China if you persist in it." I answered, "You clearly know it is good, yet you will still give it up. Falun Gong is the cultivation method I have been looking for all my life. I shall persist in it." -

Elementary School Students Bring Petition Letter to a Jail to Help Rescue Their Innocent Teacher
2005-03-03It was an unforgettable meeting. I was called out to meet some visitors at around 10 a.m. that morning and was surprised when I saw the students' faces on the TV monitor. They began to cry as soon as they saw me. I could not control my tears either when I saw their crying faces. We were only allowed to communicate in writing. Seeing me in my prison uniform with an unshaven face and having lost weight, the student who was writing cried harder and had to let another student take over. They expressed their condolences one after another. -
"There Are Still Some Good People in Today's Society"
2005-03-03According to his requirement, I took him home and mentally prepared myself for being cursed at by his family members, and to make compensation for all his losses.
