Exposing a CCTV Fabricated News Program
2004-11-02Prior to the interview, they had called Gao to the factory's workers union office and gave him "ideological education." They told him to cooperate, repeat what they had presented to the TV audience, and assist them to "expose and criticise" Falun Gong. Gao didn't want to lie to the TV audience and refused to do that. Seeing that they couldn't get what they wanted, they locked him up in a small room in the workers union office for a whole day. -
Handling Family Conflicts According to Dafa's Standards Is Also a Part of Cultivation (Part 4)
2004-11-01I never thought of searching within myself, and I just believed that my husband never thought about the family and was not in agreement with me. I even had resentment towards my husband's brother, feeling that they had asked for too much. My "sorrow" and "grievances" had all been brought about when my warped notions were challenged and when the interests of my "painstakingly managed" family were challenged. They were brought about by my attachments, which had existed subconsciously. -
Rectifying Myself
2004-11-01I always thought that I was an introverted person, as I did not like to talk and was also poor at expressing myself. When it came to talking to people face to face, I didn;t do so well because I was afraid that I could not talk well. As a result, I created many obstacles in my efforts to inform people with the correct facts about Falun Gong. -
The Attachment of Pursuit Is a Big Obstacle in Cultivation
2004-10-31The attachment of pursuit can appear in almost any conflict or obstacle of people. Many troubles and tribulations Falun Gong cultivators have faced were also the result of not giving up past notions, which in turn resulted in undesired results. -
Insights on Eliminating the Attachment of Lust
2004-10-31As Fa-rectification progresses forward, practitioners who truly cultivate Falun Dafa are continuously improving within Dafa. Many practitioners, however, are still troubled by the attachment of lust. There are even some practitioners who are thought to be very diligent by everyone, yet, they still have this predicament to different extents. When sharing experiences with a group, it's difficult to address this subject. Therefore, I wish to share my experience and understanding about this issue. -
A Doctor in Taiwan: Falun Gong Cured My Eye Disease
2004-10-30I study Western medicine and have a certain understanding of the treatment and recuperation process of certain diseases. When I was young, I suffered from various conditions. In the years right before I practiced Falun Gong, I was afflicted with a stomach ulcer, stomach bleeding, a stiff back, inflammation of the eye, dizziness and sciatic nerve pain. These problems took turns attacking me. Treatments could only suppress them temporarily and could not prevent them from recurring. -

My Understanding from Studying Master's New Article "In Fa-Rectification Your Thoughts Have to be Righteous, Not Human"
2004-10-30From Master's Fa, I understand that how Falun Dafa practitioners treat Falun Dafa, how they see Dafa, how they see every thing in human society, and how they place themselves correctly in relation to Dafa and human society is fundamental and very important. If one doesn't have a clear understanding about these issues, then it will become an issue of whether one can truly assimilate to Dafa, reach consummation, and return to one's original self. -
Break Away from Fixed Notions and Show the Greatness of Falun Gong with Honor and Dignity
2004-10-30The third day, I was interrogated again. I remained silent. All I did was send forth righteous thoughts and request strength from Master. The interrogators left again. Through these days, I abstained from water and food from the moment I was abducted. On the third day, the guards and the head of the detention centre had a conversation with me, asking me to have food and water. I said that I committed no crime, and it was against the law for the police to arrest innocent people. -
Letter from WOIPFG to All Levels of Chinese Officials Regarding Jiang's Stepping Down: Stop the Persecution and Bring the Murderers to Justice
2004-10-29In China, the persecution of 100 million innocent Falun Gong practitioners has lasted for more than five years. Now that Jiang has stepped down, this national catastrophe should be immediately stopped. The persecution of Falun Gong has caused the deaths of more than 1000 innocent people from beatings and torture, has utilized vast resources and affected almost all of the people in China. All the murderers who initiated and participated in the persecution should also be punished. -
Protecting Human Rights Is Not a Word Game
2004-10-29The media controlled by the former President of China Jiang Zemin has advertised to the entire world that the protection of human rights is written into the Constitution. Inside China, however, the people have not paid much attention to such information. It is because everyone knows that the Jiang regime is used to having its power replace the law. The claim of constitutional protection of human rights is one story while the reality is another. -
Cultivating A Garden of Life: How I Promote Falun Dafa As a Journalist
2004-10-29I love writing. I write essays and poems. I wrote a lot before I started to practice, and I continued afterward as well. However, the things I wrote were all for everyday society and with everyday people's thoughts. Of course, as a Falun Gong practitioner my writings naturally carry purity and glow. As a result, some people commented that my writings purify their heart and soul. They commented that they feel very peaceful and tranquil when reading my writings. Even so, I still didn't know how to make the connections between my writing and my cultivation during this special period of time. -
Looking for Falun Dafa Books in China
2004-10-29When we visited the first waste collection station, we did not tell them exactly what we were looking for. As a result, we didn't find even one Falun Dafa book after searching through a very large pile of books. Learning from our experience, we then spoke about Falun Gong and the real reasons behind the persecution to the owners of the station when we visited the second one. They were very sympathetic and began to help look for Falun Dafa books for us. We visited a third, a fourth and even visited very distant waste collection stations to find Falun Dafa books. -
Recalling the Days of Teacher's Lectures in Guangzhou
2004-10-28When I was a teenager, I wondered why I hadn't been born in ancient India 2500 years ago, and thus couldn't personally hear the Buddha Law. I thought sentient beings could no longer transcend the Three Realms and that we would have to go through the reincarnation cycle of samsara forever. -
Two Positive Incidents from Activities Held on Wall Street
2004-10-28"...the people in New York can be as nice and kind as you with regards to understanding and supporting us, then I will return home. If this result cannot be achieved, then I will continue my stay in New York." Aunt Tao said these English words very naturally, which was beyond her own expectations. Right after she said these words, tears started flowing from the woman's eyes. She tightly grasped both of Aunt Tao's hands as her tears streamed down her face. She could not say anything for quite a while. Before leaving, she kept asking Aunt Tao to take care of herself.
