Voices of Latvian Falun Dafa Practitioners: "Falun Dafa is Good!"
2004-07-30On the anniversary of the five year persecution of Falun Gong in China, we as Falun Gong practitioners in Latvia, stood in our practise site in Riga Park to remember all the Chinese People in the world. We would like to express our support and respect for Falun Gong practitioners in mainland China who firmly believe in Dafa. -
The Distance Between Me and Veteran Falun Gong Practitioners
2004-07-30I participated in activities to help stop the persecution, yet I didn't make diligent advancement in studying the teachings of Falun Gong and the practice, nor did I have a chance to really practice and share experiences with other practitioners in a group. Lacking a solid foundation in my cultivation, I only had a surface understanding of Dafa and Master. Hence I gave in to the police fearing that they might extend my detention terms. -
The Problems of Always Insisting on One's Own Opinion, or of Having No Opinion
2004-07-30However, I have noticed a phenomenon: some practitioners mix the concept of "no organisation, no leaders" with the bad behaviour of not following rules and not obeying leaders' orders in everyday society. In some Dafa activities, these practitioners are self-opinionated and even resist the coordinator's advice by using ordinary people's tactics. -
A Policeman from a Chinese Prison Exposes How Guards Torture Falun Gong Practitioners Behind the Scenes
2004-07-29In his letter, he said frankly, "I have been in contact with these practitioners for a few years. In the past, I also had misunderstandings about them and I even participated in the persecution. However, as time goes by, I see hope and a bright future in them. ... As a policeman serving the interest of the people, if I do not step forward to say a few words to uphold justice, I would indeed have a guilty conscience." -
My Friend, the Hotdog Vendor
2004-07-29Before I finished speaking, he said to me loudly, "Peng You, Peng You." After repeating it twice, I realised that he was calling me "friend" in Chinese. I was very surprised and he said, "You can put them wherever you like." Afterwards, he took me around his stand and pointed to all the places where I could post the pamphlets and also said that I could cover all the spaces. I then asked, "Can I really put them anywhere?" The owner replied, "As long as you think this is important." -
Pay More Attention to Our Fellow Falun Gong Practitioners as well as the Cultivation Environment
2004-07-28My story here is very simple, however, it was not an easy thing for her. Thinking about it, I felt that I was far from having her righteous thoughts and actions. I believe that if each one of us can always remember Master's teaching, pay attention to fellow practitioners with our hearts, and give a hand to anyone who falls behind, our environment will become better and better when our righteous thoughts are stronger. -
Eliminate the Evil Dark Minions by Uniting Our Righteous Thoughts
2004-07-28They interfere by strengthening these practitioners' attachments, and eventually they take control of them. From the perspective of the surface dimension, for those practitioners who had omissions in these two areas, some of them gave up their practice after the persecution began in July 20th of 1999, and some, although they came through the persecution after nearly dying several times, finally failed in the test of ordinary people's fame, pursuits, and emotion, and could not extricate themselves from it. -
The Jiang Regime's Use of "Psychiatry"
2004-07-27Over the past five years, Jiang's regime has abused the psychiatric field to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. This has been a two-pronged campaign. First, they falsely attributed heinous crimes committed by mentally ill people in society to Falun Gong practitioners. Second, the authorities labelled mentally healthy practitioners as mental patients so that they can send them to mental hospitals and institutions to persecute them. -

Ireland: Activity to Remember July 20th 1999
2004-07-26It was then that I noticed his blue shirt and black tie when I asked him if by any chance he was a member of the Garda Siochana ( the Irish police). His face beamed, "Indeed I am and it was while on duty in Tullamore a few months ago during the Foreign Ministers' conference that I was assigned to keep watch on Falun Gong." He went on to say that he was most impressed by the peaceful nature of the practitioners and the beauty of the exercises were a revelation to him, particularly the small boy who became so still like something from Heaven -
Revisiting Jiang and His Followers' Crimes in Severely Violating the Chinese Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to Persecute Falun Gong
2004-07-26The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone is entitled to various rights such as: the right to life, liberty and security of person, the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law, the right to own property alone as well as in association with others, the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association, and the right not to be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. -
The Truth Causes the "Great Barrier" to Crumble
2004-07-26A Native American Chief from Arizona said to Falun Gong practitioners, "I represent many Native American tribal people in the U.S. and am a witness to this most evil persecution in human history. So are the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars. In the divine world, we live on this motherland in harmony and peace. The persecution brings hurt and sorrow to my heart. We wish the Great Spirit to be together with you and your country to end this persecution. Let's step onto the beautiful homeward journey." -
Five Years of Illegal Persecution Against Falun Gong Undermines China's Morality
2004-07-25Fortunately, the majority of Falun Gong practitioners have persisted in their belief of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance, including some who went astray under the Jiang regime's violent brainwashing but later returned to practice Falun Gong once again. These practitioners are putting on displaying the power of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance with their words and actions, and they use various methods to clarify the truth to people. Jiang and his followers are faced with total failure. -
After Five Years of Persecution, People's Attitude Have Changed from Worrying when Falun Gong Would be Defeated to Discussing when the Persecution Will End
2004-07-25If we only look at a moment in history, often we feel the victim is too weak to oppose the persecutor. However, if we look at the entire history, we find that the victim often defeats the persecutor. The reason is that what determines the outcome of the battle is not the power, but which side gains the world's support. The Roman Empire was once very powerful; however, its persecution of Christians led to its destruction. Now Christianity is in prosperity. Hitler killed Jewish people, but now Nazis are despised everywhere and Jewish people are prospering. -
My Rheumatoid Arthritis Disappeared after I Began Practicing Falun Gong
2004-07-25After that, the employers at my company saw that I had a serious disease and sent me to recuperate at the Tanggangzi Clinic in Anshan, Liaoning province. In the third month of recovery, I returned home because of my heart disease. Soon after I arrived, I became paralyzed and could not lead a regular life by myself. My legs were swollen and bruised. If you pressed on the leg, at that point a depression would form. If water was poured into the depression, it would be absorbed.
