I Am a Disciple of Li Hongzhi (Part 1)
2004-11-13
Facing the lies and terror that covered the sky and earth, some practitioners hesitated and felt confused, not knowing whether it was wrong or right to step forward. Some did not step forward because they feared being arrested. It was a small Fa conference that united the hearts of all practitioners and made our practitioners realise the importance of going to Beijing to appeal for a stop to the persecution. Practitioners stepped forward one after another. -
I Was Once Illiterate, But Now I Can Read Falun Dafa Books
2004-11-13All the Falun Gong practitioners who participated in the appeal on the 14th of July were beaten up. They kicked me with their boots and beat me with a broom until the broom snapped into pieces. They even asked me to buy a new one. How ridiculous they are! I was beaten until both of my arms were black and blue. They also detained us and forced us to pay 600 yuan each before they would release us. The town officials asked my family to give them the money, or we could not go home. -
Actually, Cultivation Is Not That Hard (Part 2)
2004-11-12The rule of the day was that all practitioners who went to Beijing to peacefully appeal for Dafa would be imprisoned for at least one month in criminal detention. If the practitioner did not stop practising by the end of that time, he or she would be imprisoned for another fifteen days of administrative detention. I did not accept such a concept in my mind. All I thought about was that I was a Falun Dafa practitioner. -
A Story About How Someone Came to Practise Falun Gong
2004-11-12It is well known that supervisors in the city government assign Falun Gong arrest quotas to the police stations. They make money by arresting Falun Gong practitioners. Once they extort some money from you and fingerprint you, they will release you. If you don't comply, the officers will beat you until you loose the ability to take care of yourself, and their supervisors will even reward them for doing so. -
Actually, Cultivation Isn't That Hard (Part 1)
2004-11-11While in the police van, I gave an appeal letter to the police and hoped that they would help me submit the letter. At Qianmen Police Station in Beijing, I reported my name with a calm mind. When the police asked me if I was a party member, I said "Yes." The police said, "It's most telling when party members come to appeal." Tears immediately came to my eyes. I was very thankful to Master who had enlightened me through the police's words. -
The Cultivation Journey of a Taiwanese Student at a German University
2004-11-11
Shangyi had briefly explored several other traditional Chinese exercise schools before but he didn't pursue them, as the principles of those schools were either not clear or were too hard to understand. When he finished reading Zhuan Falun, however, he found that this book revealed a very harmonious system of teachings. -
How the Former President of China Jiang Zemin and his Regime's Persecution of Falun Gong is in Violation of the Law
2004-11-10The Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong has not only violated international human rights principles, but also severely violated the current Chinese Constitution and Laws. In order to deceive the public, Jiang Zemin has gone all out in taking advantage of superficial regulations to cover up his real motives, and disguised with the so-called "legal" lingo, he has brutally trampled human rights. In this paper, I will analyse how the persecution of Falun Gong is in direct violation of Chinese Law from several perspectives. -
Experiences in Translating and Writing for Falun Dafa Related Projects
2004-11-10Before I would sit down I would think, "Ah, I can figure anything out -- come on, give me something difficult." With having this thought before writing, as soon as I sat down to write, I just couldn't think of anything. My mind would just go blank or fill with other thoughts. I felt it odd, as this had never happened before when I wrote articles. The difference was that when I wrote those articles in the past, I did not have this bad thought; I just had an understanding and wrote an article to share it--a very simple and pure thought. -
My Experience Joining the Activities in Manhattan
2004-11-10We should therefore speak to people face-to-face and not just hand out materials. We should talk to people about the facts when we pass out the materials, otherwise many people will assume they are ads and just throw them away. For those who pass by the locations where we do the anti-torture exhibitions, we also need to tell them, even in just a few words, "Stop the persecution of Falun Gong. Falun Gong is a meditation that's good for people's minds and bodies." -
Only When I Absolutely Have Faith in Teacher and the Fa and Study the Fa Constantly Can I Avoid Taking A Detour in My Cultivation Practice
2004-11-09There is an ancient Chinese idiom, "Changing one's nature is harder than changing the location of a mountain or the course of a river." It means, "A fox may grow gray, but never good." I used to be an introvert. I was standoffish because I didn't know what to say to other people. A lot of people mistook me as arrogant, so I don't have many friends. It is usually my wife that entertained our guests. Since I started my cultivation practice in Falun Gong, I became a completely different person. I am now able to carry on a conversation with everyone. I can speak from my own experience that Falun Dafa can indeed broaden the wisdom of its cultivators. -
My Predestined Relationship with New York City
2004-11-09A gentleman spoke with me for 20 minutes, suggesting we seek help from the government and media. I told him that we had have been doing this and that most governments were highly supportive of us. "Then why do you still distribute material on the streets?" he asked. "That is because most people simply do not know about the persecution in China," I responded. "If you are willing to help, please tell whoever you can about the persecution." After hearing this answer, most people said that they understood. They expressed thanks and left happily. -
The Persecution of Falun Gong Outside China: Phone Tapping
2004-11-08Tapping the phones of Falun Gong practitioners outside of China by Chinese embassies is a common practice, as there are numerous cases to prove this, some of which are evidence in lawsuits against the former president of China Jiang Zemin and the Chinese embassies. The persecution of Falun Gong is obviously not limited to China; there are officials and staff of the Chinese embassies and consulates putting a large amount of effort into the monitoring of Falun Gong practitioners' phone conversations outside of China. -
Physically Weak and Suffering from Insomnia for Decades, My Life Changed After Practicing Falun Gong
2004-11-08After being weak and unhappy for decades, my life changed completely. I felt so much better and could eat all kinds of foods that I dared not eat before. My wife remarked over and over on how much better I looked. When I rode my bike to my brother's place, I did not feel as tired as I was before. On the next day, I could still ride my bike to go to my other brother's place. My face turned a ruddy colour, and my weight also increased to a healthy level. Everyone around me was amazed by my dramatic improvement. -
European Falun Gong Practitioners in Manhattan: "This persecution is a danger to everyone"
2004-11-08On Sunday, several Falun Gong practitioners at the anti-torture exhibition were responsible for telling the passersby the facts of Falun Gong as well as the persecution. Some people originally didn’t want to accept our material, but after seeing the torture scene being acted out, they said “Falun Gong is good! Falun Gong is good!” Some even pressed their hands together in front their of their chests and said thanks to us. Still others who didn’t want to accept the materials told people around them what Falun Gong is all about. -
Denying An Illegal Seven-Year Prison Sentence with Righteous Thoughts and Behaviour
2004-11-08At noontime or in the afternoon, the inmates would practise the five Falun Gong exercises with us when the police were not around. When the police found out what we were doing, they pretended not to notice. Some even said with a smile that the Falun Gong exercise movements looked nice. One day an inmate said, "It's very fortunate for us that we met you here. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to learn Falun Gong."
