Commentary: Righteous Faith, Courage and a Bright Future - Remembering July 20, 1999
2004-07-20
On July the 20th 1999, Jiang Zemin launched the persecution of Falun Gong out of personal jealousy and envy. The persecution has lasted five years so far, and Falun Gong practitioners' anti-persecution efforts have also lasted five years. For others, five years may not be a very long time, but for people who suffer persecution constantly, five years are very long. For Falun Gong practitioners who have endured brutal torture and cruel mistreatment, the past five years have been very significant. -
A Discussion of the Deterrent Power of Overseas Lawsuits over High Ranking Officials in Jiang's Group
2004-07-19Since Falun Gong practitioners filed lawsuits overseas against those high ranking CCP officials who have been actively involved in persecuting Falun Gong, whether one has been sued overseas has become a major issue among high ranking officials of the CCP. Also, the fact that those officials have been sued or are being sued while visiting abroad has deeply upset the CCP's top leaders. -
From the Brink of Death to Working in the Fields After Practicing Falun Dafa for Only Ten Days
2004-07-19Before I started to practice Falun Dafa I was illiterate, now I can read the whole of Zhuan Falun. I write down the few new words I came across on a piece of paper and ask my children the meaning later. I can also recite Master's Hong Yin [A Collection of Poems] and all the new articles. It's the compassionate and great Master who gave me a second life, still Jiang's followers have told many lies to deceive everyday people, poisoning the minds of living beings and persecuting good people. -
Some Dafa Practitioners from Beijing Recount Episodes of Teacher Imparting the Teachings of Falun Gong
2004-07-18Many Falun Dafa practitioners in Beijing were fortunate enough to attend the classes Master gave, where he personally lectured and taught the exercises. In these classes, every disciple's body was purified and their thoughts were improved. During that period, we experienced, learned, and heard many stories regarding Master. Some stories seem like legends when told, but all of them are real. -
Each Chance is Precious
2004-07-18As I was wondering what had happened, an older man beside me said: "I'm sorry. Somebody stepped on my foot. When I lifted my foot, I kicked you accidentally." I hastened to say: "Don't worry. Don't worry. You didn't kick me for no reason, right?" He looked at me with his eyes wide open. I told him close to his ear: "This is forming our karmic relationship." Then I gave him a booklet about Falun Dafa and told him that he would benefit from it when he read it. He was quite happy and thanked me several times. -
Violence Only Strengthens Righteous Belief and Highlights the Perpetrators' Wickedness (Warning: Graphic Photos)
2004-07-17What does it tell us when the most powerful state machine and most brutal torture methods couldn't change a group's belief? We can imagine, during those excruciating 7 hours, Gao Rongrong spent every second in excruciating pain throughout her body, spirit, and heart. We may ask what helped her to defeat the agony, intimidation, desperation, and humiliation. -
Our Experiences in Calling Those Responsible for the Persecution in China
2004-07-16Calling people who are involved in the persecution is different from calling the general public. In the past, I worried that people might think I was strange. At the beginning, I preferred to have no one around when I made phone calls, even though my husband is also a practitioner. Then I realised I had the attachment of fear. I was afraid that the person at the other end would hang up on me or I could not convince people with my words. So I decided to change this situation. -
Illusions
2004-07-16Several cultivators were cultivating in the same Taoist temple then. There was another cultivator among us who loved you and bared his heart to you one day, but you rejected him. He knew that you were in love with me, so jealousy made him hate both of us. He said bitterly at that time, ‘So, you want to cultivate! I will stop you from reaching Consummation even if it will cost my life!’ -
"If Teacher Said This to Me, Would I Accept It?"
2004-07-15Finally I realised my problem: I tried to persuade fellow practitioners not to go out, because I was afraid of being involved if something happened to the fellow practitioner. Actually I do have the mentality of fear. The only thing is that when a fellow practitioner pointed it out, her tone was not so kind, so I did not want to change myself. Then I thought: if Teacher had said this to me, would I listen and change myself? Of course I would. At this point, my mind became more peaceful. -
My Understanding of "Looking Inward"
2004-07-15It does not matter whether other people have cultivated well or not. Even when a child points out our shortcomings, we should look inward. It does not matter whether other people talk with strong attachments to fame and self-interest or not, as long as we are not 100% pure, we should look inward. Looking inward is unconditional, just as cultivation itself. -
The Evil Nature of China's "Re-Education through Labour" System
2004-07-14Throughout history, the official system designed to change people's way of thinking by force has been unprecedented. No matter how awful some governments have been, most have never done something as evil as creating a system to forcibly change citizens' ways of thinking. But the Chinese Communist government has done that. They created a complete institution to forcibly change people's beliefs. That is, "Re-Education through Labour." -
From Practising Falun Dafa, I am Free of Leukaemia and I Glow with Good Health
2004-07-14Just thinking about the discomfort I went through then makes me fearful. After the chemotherapy treatment, I developed a high fever that would not return to normal, causing a lot of bad reactions, such as pneumonia, headaches, and bleeding from my ears and nose. I was treated from morning until 10:00 p.m., but still my high fever did not recede. My mother was so anxious that she wanted to throw herself from a building. -
A Miracle in China Occurs As Handcuffs Open One by One
2004-07-14A policeman leaning against the door began teasing them, saying, "Move! Move! We'll see how long you can cross your legs!" Suddenly, there was a metallic rattling noise as the handcuffs of one of the elderly practitioners sprung open. Just then, another practitioner's handcuffs also opened. Practitioner "H" thought, "My handcuffs should open too." As soon as she had this thought, her handcuffs immediately opened as well. -
2004 European Conference: Maintaining The Austria Newsletter
2004-07-13For over a year ago now we have had a project in Austria called “The Newsletter.” It is a monthly media publication, primarily meant as a continual information about all aspects of Falun Gong for politicians, journalists and other interested individuals. Beyond that it is primarily an endeavour by which a larger number of practitioners in Austria can work together in a never seizing project. -
2004 European Conference: A Step Forward
2004-07-13One day when I was sending righteous thoughts and trying to calm my mind, one thought just kept rising. It was like a dialogue with me, talking with myself. I was telling me to go to the hospital, to stores, to different places to clarify the truth, I even spoke about what to say. It was strange. But I didn't take that seriously and I was just kept holding on to my pitiful excuse. I wasn't feeling good inside. It was like a war was going on within me. I didn't want to wait but I did.
