A Good Method for Showing the True Situation of Falun Gong
2004-08-09I suggest that we wear clothes or other materials such as badges with Dafa-related contents in order to let Chinese people see that there is equality of human rights and freedom of belief overseas. Let them see that practitioners are healthy and energetic. Let them see practitioners' families enjoying themselves, and the popularity of Dafa outside China, as well as to expose the lies of Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin and his regime. -
Finding 150 Yuan Becomes an Opportunity to Show the Truth about Falun Dafa
2004-08-09I said that I was not returning money for the sake of a reward, but that my intent was to let more people like them learn the truth about Falun Dafa and that it's not like what the propaganda on TV had publicised. Right at the moment when I was explaining the facts, a group of tricycle drivers came around. Some of them looked at me with admiration, some gave me a thumbs-up, some said, "Falun Dafa is very good", while others said, "Why don't you demonstrate the Falun Gong exercises right here!" -
Who Is Truly Controlling the Minds of the People in China - Part Two
2004-08-08Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin and his group, which masterminds the persecution of Falun Gong, accuses Falun Gong of "mind control" in attempts to justify its label of "evil cult," because only then could the nationwide campaign to crush Falun Gong ever make sense to the people of China. After all, in the years before the persecution started, the Chinese government praised Falun Gong for the great benefits it had brought to Chinese society. How could it suddenly turn to become something so bad? -
Falun Dafa Cured Me of My Severe Liver and Kidney Disease
2004-08-08I suffered from unbearable pain on account of my liver ascites (excessive accumulation of fluids), so I was unable to eat or drink anything. My face was grayish-yellow, which alarmed everyone who visited me. As my illness became more and more serious, the hospital sent out a notice informing others about my critical condition. -
Who Is Truly Controlling the Minds of the People in China? - Part One
2004-08-07The persecution of Falun Gong by China's dictator Jiang Zemin's regime has lasted for over five years. During the early stages when a propaganda campaign to defame Falun Gong was launched across the country, or during the later stages with the widespread efforts to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners so as to make them give up their belief in the practice is still underway today, at all times over the last five years, the persecutors have accused Falun Gong of mind control (or thought control). -
Recognise Our Shortcomings and Strive Forward Diligently
2004-08-06For those of us who make time to study the Fa, many times we cannot calm our minds and focus on what we are reading, but let our mind wander or think about other "important" matters we have to get done. We also let ourselves get disturbed by mixed thoughts, feel tired and sleepy, or interfered with by family members--all of which seriously interferes with our Fa study. Some practitioners cannot effectively eliminate this interference, thus causing them to not be able to improve and keep up with the requirements of this period of time. -
Thoughts on the Easily Overlooked Attachment of "Fame" During the Course of Cultivation
2004-08-06I always felt that I was quite a modest person; some practitioners even said that I had a pure mind. Recently however, I have found that I am not so "pure"; instead, my issues are more complicated than others. I realised that on almost every occasion, my each thought, or many of the things that I have done all revolved around the factor of "fame." This was something that had formed deep in my bones and wasn't easily recognisable. -
Falun Gong Practitioners Expose the Persecution from Their Sense of Justice, Not from Others' Funding
2004-08-05When we know that Falun Gong practitioners in China are being persecuted and there are almost daily news accounts of someone dying as a result of the persecution we would not have a clear conscience if we did not condemn the persecution and ask people from all walks of life to help stop it. Our cries for justice are certainly not motivated by money! -
Consequences of Repressing Falun Gong
2004-08-05To repress such a group of people, the methods used would certainly be evil, such as, "beat them to death and claim that they committed suicide, then send them to be cremated without verifying their identity,", "police can rape female practitioners, or the wife and daughter of male practitioners and they won't be reported." In a word, all sorts of inhumane and offencive conduct is protected and encouraged under the name of "Cracking down on Falun Gong." -
Interview with a Participant in the Anti-Torture Exhibition in London
2004-08-03Edward never wanted to make the tiger bench. Standing under the shade of a tree overlooking the anti-torture exhibition held in London on Sunday 18th July, he is almost in tears as he recalls the process of bringing himself to make the mock-up torture device. “Actually you know the tiger bench is very infamous. We heard about it before, when the Communist Party was condemning the previous regime and how they tortured their people. I didn’t know what kind of pain it could inflict. It is ironic that they now use the same thing to torture other people.” -
Being Responsible as Falun Gong Practitioners
2004-08-02Sometimes when I saw or heard about something that some Falun Gong practitioners didn't do very well, I would think: apart from first looking inside to see what I had done wrong, I should also write it down so as to share this with other Falun Gong practitioners. If we have done something that is inappropriate, it is likely that we might leave a negative impression of Falun Gong to not only those who don’t practise but also to those who do. -
Clarifying the Truth While Working as a Private Tutor
2004-08-02In the end, two envelopes for each class were sent out. Afterwards, Xiao Jie received the packages and brought them to school for her classmates to read. The colourful truth-clarifying materials easily attracted the students. Many students would gather around to read them. They were able to gain a good understanding about Falun Dafa. One student said, "Wow! There are also so many people practising Falun Gong overseas!" -
Use of Brainwashing Programs Highlighted by Persecution of Famous Doctor
2004-08-01As a result of this heroic action, the kindhearted doctor was detained at a brainwashing centre run by the Military Commission of the Chinese Communist Central Committee. This organisation is under Jiang's control, the same individual who reaped the benefits of the massacre on June 4, 1989. Dr. Jiang Yanyong has captured the world's attention. Even so, Jiang's group still abducted him and has forced him to be subjected to brainwashing without the restriction of laws or moral principles. This case reflects the brutal nature of Jiang Zemin's group. -
Jiang, the Former President of China, Instills Hatred Towards Falun Gong in Students via the Educational System
2004-07-31As a result of the campaign in schools, many student or teachers who practice Falun Gong are expelled from school, detained or even sentenced to prison terms. Another result of the campaign is that a huge number of students are deceived to harbour hatred towards Falun Gong. -
The Ban on Falun Gong -- a Dictator's Whim, Not the Rule of Law (Part I)
2004-07-31First, this announcement totally violated the Chinese Constitution that guarantees freedom of belief, association, and assembly. The Constitution also guarantees that Chinese citizens have the right to appeal and to defend themselves. The Constitution is the fundamental law of China. The announcement from the Public Security Department violates the Constitution, so it doesn't have any legal effect.
