Violent Incident to Stop the People's Appeal - Jiang's Regime Extends Persecution Beyond Falun Gong
2004-10-22Since July of 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong began, many Falun Gong practitioners have appealed to the "Two Appeal Offices" in Beijing, as stipulated under existing law. They were arrested and brutally beaten by the police and officials in Beijing and other cities. Most of them were taken to their area offices, which are based in Beijing. There they were tortured and then sent back to their hometowns for further persecution. They were cruelly beaten, money was extorted from them, and they were detained in forced labour camps. This kind of persecution has now been extended to the greater populace of China. -
Dealing with Domestic Disputes According to the Teachings in Falun Gong is Part of Cultivation
2004-10-22For some time, a few fellow Falun Gong practitioners have been preoccupied with domestic disputes of varying degrees. They had difficulty distancing themselves from the situations, and thus the conflicts grew bigger and bigger. In this special period of Fa-rectification, dealing properly with domestic disputes is not as simple as dealing with personal problems. If we do not deal with these situations properly, they will not only affect ourselves, but also the image and reputation of Falun Dafa. -
The Disparity Between Several Elderly Falun Gong Practitioners and Me
2004-10-22Indeed, "They can see us if we practice here." This is the very purpose. In order to have the Chinese tourists see the Falun Gong exercises with their own eyes and understand the nature of Falun Gong, these elderly practitioners in their 60's and 70's gave up practicing the Falun Gong exercises in the quiet park and have been demonstrating the exercises on the noisy sidewalk day after day, rain or shine. -
A Stubborn Illness is Healed and the Body is Completely Rejuvenated with Energy
2004-10-21I suffered from all kinds of tribulations, and my whole body was severely ill. As a middle-aged person, I also suffered from stubborn colonitis. In an attempt to heal my illnesses I spent a large amount of money, but my health continued to worsen. When I was nearing the point of losing hope, a kind-hearted person told me about Falun Gong, and advised me to practice it. -
A Dedication
2004-10-21For all of the millions of Falun Dafa practitioners in China today who continue to brave the fiercest of tempests, the unprecedented, relentless and brutal persecution against such a peaceful and traditional exercise practice. -
Clarify the Facts About Falun Gong With a Benevolent Heart
2004-10-21I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who as a result has been tortured by police officers at a forced labour camp. I was shocked on the head for lengthy periods with an electric baton. As a result, I am disabled, as the nerves controlling my lower limbs were damaged and I can no longer walk. I will narrate my personal experience thoroughly so as to share with fellow practitioners, in a hope that this will enable all of us to do better in our efforts to let the worlds people know about Falun Gong and the persecution. -
My Understanding of "Be Diligent Without Slacking Off"
2004-10-21Although I studied Master Li's new articles every day, I was not as diligent in reading Zhuan Falun as I had been in the first few years. It is not the number of times that I have read the book that matters; it is the fact that I had slacked off inadvertently. Although there is a lot more work to do now than there was five years ago, the requirements of the Fa are higher, and I should not have slacked off in my Fa study. This shows that I was not very diligent. -
A New Lease on Life in Six Months of Practicing Falun Dafa After Suffering From Debilitating Disease of the Nervous System
2004-10-20The doctor told me, "This disease has been with you for at least twenty years, otherwise it could not have developed to this stage. This is a very rare disease and little is known about it. It will cause the muscles to continue to shrivel. There is no cure." The only way to preserve my life was to consume the spinal cord of a deer and trace elements. It was like a lightning bolt out of the blue! I could not do any household chores, and after lying down for a long time, the pain on the left side of my body was unbearable. I could not even sit still for half an hour. -
Dialogue in a College Dormitory: "Why Haven't We Ever Considered These Questions?"
2004-10-20I am a college student in Shandong Province, China, but I have had the most extraordinary experiences over the past five years because my mother is a determined Falun Gong (or Falun Dafa) practitioner. Jiang Zemin started his senseless persecution against Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, and after five years I continue to be touched by the efforts of practitioners in China. They have been unfailingly peaceful in the face of the ruthless torture and persecution, and they persevere in practicing Falun Gong and in telling people the truth about Falun Gong. -
Clarifying the Facts About Falun Gong to the Economic Community During the World Economic Forum in New York City Two Years Ago
2004-10-20There were numerous opportunities to meet various kinds of people in restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops in big hotels. Some were renowned professors, reporters, members of NGOs, or even high-ranking military officials from other countries. However, after a few days of walking around, sending forth righteous thoughts and giving out packages, I felt like we had not received any notable results. The notion of talking with a key figure from a world-class company never left my mind. -
My Experience in Making Materials that Contain the True Facts about Falun Dafa
2004-10-20One day, a practitioner suggested setting up a Falun Dafa information centre at my home, which would involve myself and another practitioner. She promised to teach us to use the computer. But where would I find a person who could work with me? Some practitioners were too afraid. Finally, I found a female practitioner who we will refer to as Angie, who was responsible for material delivery, just like me. But she was disabled and was also less educated. Nevertheless, the Falun Dafa information centre was created. -
Some Thoughts on the Activities in New York City
2004-10-19First, a number of fellow practitioners were gathering together on several streets, and we noticed especially that many Falun Gong practitioners had congregated in a particular area on a narrow street. From a distance, we certainly appeared as a rather large group; however, we were unsuccessful in distributing materials. On the contrary, having a group of two to three practitioners doing the same job on other streets with photo displays and exercise demonstrations was very effective. -
A Suggestion for the Anti-Torture Exhibitions
2004-10-19The anti-torture exhibition has generated great results, as it has given citizens of many different countries a direct understanding of the persecution. Many people are shocked by it, and they have condemned the persecution. One thing many Falun Gong practitioners have pointed out is that it should also demonstrate the practitioners' perseverance and their righteous belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" under those conditions of brutal persecution. -
Who Is the Prime Culprit in "Using Classified Documents to Defy the Law"?
2004-10-18But in reality, according to discussions by specialists, to reconsider the application, or not regarding the document in relation to an administration issue, many central departments simultaneously transmitted the suppression decision documents to lower levels, which was in accordance with the order issued solely by Jiang Zemin that unilaterally represented the Party, the government, and the laws to order the transmission of the documents to lower levels. The procedure was illegal and in reality was in open defiance of the law. -
