A Professor from China Credits Falun Dafa for His Rapid Recovery from Surgery
2004-08-23I could hear clearly what the doctors were saying. They said that the operation was smooth and successful. What even surprised the doctors is that I am recovering especially fast, and even broke the hospital's record for the fastest recovery. The doctors recorded my entire health history and wanted to investigate further. I don't think they will learn anything from that. I know that the essential key is because I believed, 'Falun Dafa is great'." -
The Glory of Falun Dafa
2004-08-22We noticed more and more passers-by in the pedestrian zone. They were clapping their hands, smiling, waving and showing their delight with heartfelt attentiveness. Some walked alongside the practitioners in the parade, as if they couldn’t wait to learn all about it and the reason for this wonderful parade. We even noted that, within ten minutes, the police officers who had held an attention position relaxed and displayed a friendly attitude. -
Our Anti-Torture Exhibits Should Reflect the Strength and Dignity Shown by the Practitioners Facing the Real Thing in China
2004-08-22A different performance would result in different effects. I remember one practitioner was performing the part of a victim of the hanging torture in Washington DC. Although she was being tortured, her calmness, firmness, and nobility moved many passersby. Many journalists and audience members took pictures of her. -
Denmark: Testimony - A Sixteen Year Old Boy Forced into Exile After his Parents are Persecuted to Death Because of their Belief in Falun Gong
2004-08-21Among Danish Falun Gong practitioners there is a new practitioner named Liu Xiaotian who has just begun his cultivation. His parents were persecuted to death because they were Falun Gong practitioners in China. At the time he was only sixteen years old. The mental trauma he suffered prevented Xiaotian from expressing himself fluently. It has taken Danish Falun Gong practitioners one year to fully understand the whole event, his pain and suffering. -
Five Years of Persecuting Falun Gong Has Only Brought the Chinese Communist Party More Problems
2004-08-21On the 20th of July, 1999, under Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin's instruction, the Chinese Party (CCP) began to suppress Falun Gong publicly. At that time they thought that Falun Gong could be eradicated within one month. Contrary to their expectations, five full years have now passed. During this time, tens of thousands of people who practise Falun Gong have been sentenced to imprisonment and sent to forced labour camps where they were brutally tortured, and some have died as a result. However, those who practice Falun Gong have not yielded to the despotic power of the CCP. -
Elderly Falun Gong Practitioner from Taiwan Appears Twenty Years Younger
2004-08-21Once, two students seeing Mrs. Lai read without her glasses became curious and asked her, "How old are you? How do you read without glasses?" Their mother was in her 50's yet she couldn't read without her glasses. Mrs. Lai said, "I am in my 70's." The students were speechless because Mrs. Lai looked like she was only 50. Mrs. Lai continued, "I practice Falun Gong, so my sight gets clearer the more I read this book." The two students immediately bought a copy of Zhuan Falun from a bookstore, and later came to the park to practice the Falun Gong exercises. -
A Letter from a Falun Gong Practitioner to Friends and Family on the Eve of July 20, Remembering the Darkest Day in History Five Years Ago
2004-08-20I have put my heart into writing you this letter today on the eve of the 20th of July, which is the day when five years ago former Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin initiated the most brutal suppression of the spiritual practice of Falun Dafa, which is what I practice. It is my wish to share with you what is in my heart every moment of every day. That is: Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. -
After Observing the Proper Treatment for a Real Burn Victim, I Realised the Self-Immolation in Tiananmen Square Was Fabricated
2004-08-20My acquaintance also told me, "When I was burned, I experienced extreme pain. I knelt down on the floor and couldn't stand up. After arriving at the hospital, I was given an injection to relieve the pain. It's hard to believe that the alleged victim of the Tiananmen Square immolation, Wang Jiangtong, who was supposed to have been terribly burned, could just sit there calmly and enthusiastically give a prepared speech." -
The Importance of Studying the Teachings of Falun Gong
2004-08-19But as I got more and more busy with activities related to Falun Gong, as the interference that I suffered from the old forces seemed to become less and less, and as my living and financial condition improved more and more, I paid less and less attention to Fa study. Then, even though I seemed to be busy the whole day, I found that I was doing much less work and was more tired than when I was consistently studying the Fa every day. -
Cooperation is Key When Planning Parades
2004-08-19Although there was not a "good" in the banner of "Falun Dafa," the shiny golden words meant "good" by themselves! "Falun Dafa is good" was designed to target the propaganda and defamation inside China. If it was a parade only for Falun Dafa or if we were in front of a Chinese consulate, then we should display the "Falun Dafa is good" and "Global Trials on Jiang Zemin" banners. -
A Friend Asks a Falun Gong Practitioner, "Where Do You Get The Money From" to Produce Such Materials?
2004-08-18A friend of mine asked me, "You (Falun Gong practitioners) have been giving us free VCD's and other types of materials that obviously cost a lot of money to produce. Where do you get the money from?" I said, "I have been saving up from my grocery expenses." His eyes widened in amazement. "You must have been distributing such materials for more than four years. Does all the money come from cutting down on your grocery budget?" -
My Aunt's Surprising Change
2004-08-18In this way, my aunt stepped onto the path of cultivation. Later, she was stopped by her in-law, and received a good scolding. She only smiled without retaliating. Her relative was shocked. Formerly when she bought vegetables, she would tear away the leaves down to the core. Now she never does that. She also never adds more vegetables after paying or steals a little bit when others aren't looking. A proverb says: The leopard never changes its spots. However, Falun Dafa can easily change the most odious part of human nature, and purify polluted hearts. -
The Importance of Having a Righteous Attitude Towards Truth Clarification and Breaking Through Our Strong Sense of Self
2004-08-17I also saw that I had a very selfish attitude regarding the cases I proofread. I would only volunteer to help when I had a lot of free time and I would set for myself a “quota” of how many cases I would do each day. If I reached that amount, I was content with myself and didn’t ask for more cases. I was treating the proofreading as a chore and did not feel any responsibility for the project as a whole. -
Improving Communications to Form an Indestructible Single Body
2004-08-17The Communications Team is made up of technical professionals. Many of us are not very good at communicating. From ordinary people’s standpoint, this may be why we did not communicate well with each other. Earlier, some team members often had disagreements on the priority of different projects. The lack of communication and our attachments of jealousy and thinking our own ideas are the only correct ones turned the disagreements into conflicts. Since we are all technical experts, competing with each other on technical knowledge became the main attachment. -
