Clarifying the Truth to Teachers from the Podium
2004-05-08
I went to the class and used the opportunity to tell them the agenda, easing into talking about the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. All of them listened carefully. Since then, I have been personally going to class every day to help them with their cleaning and sanitary work, which the other chief instructors never do. I wanted to use my actions to validate Dafa. Everyday after roll call, I would speak for three to five minutes about various subjects such as the relationship between establishing ethics and traditional virtue, the principle of good and bad deeds being rewarded accordingly, the moral factors behind the outbreak of SARS, etc -
Some Thoughts on the Importance of Group Fa Study
2004-05-07I kept focusing on my reading. But when it was our turn to read together, the French, just read together with them and hearing the voices of the two who had just arrived brought tears to my eyes. I do not know why. Now I understand even better that in a group study, each particle helps me to rectify myself and contributes to rectify the group. This, everybody knows, but it is very moving when you experience it yourself and it helps to better understand the meaning of group study and the role of each particle in the group. -
The Heart of a Falun Dafa Community!
2004-05-07This special place was the beginning of what can only be described of as the most wonderful event to take place in own our City, Orlando, which will now never be the same after the arrival of Dafa. Through much effort on behalf our City's first contact person, who came from New York just to help us, one site soon became two and two became three until there was a practice session going on six days a week. It was beginning to manifest how the public would first view our presence as the curtain raised on the stage of Dafa's existence in our quite southern community. -
A Russian Neurologist Talks About Falun Gong
2004-05-06As a medical doctor and researcher, I must take full responsibility for what I say. Regarding Falun Gong, I cannot help saying some good words about this excellent practice, which I have been practicing myself for six years. During the period of my practice, as a medical expert I have collected a vast amount of data showing Falun Gong’s beneficial effects to ones health. Many of these cases are my friends who also practice Falun Gong. There are also patients who just started practicing. -
Solemn Declarations from Non-Practitioners
2004-05-06With the large scale use of mass media apparatus Jiang's regime have attempted to deceive the people of China into thinking that Falun Gong in something harmful. Since the persecution of Falun Gong started, Falun Gong practitioners themselves have been telling people the true facts about Falun Gong. Once people come to know the real facts behind the persecution and come to see that the persecution is wrong they feel guilty about how they thought or acted under the intense pressure of Jiang's regime and wish to openly declare that their actions and thoughts are void. -
On the Fifth Anniversary of the "April 25 Appeal" -- Remembering April 25, 1999 (Part 2)
2004-05-05Five years ago, on April 25, a momentous event took place in Beijing, China. More than 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners in China went to the Appeals Office of the State Council on Fuyou Street in Beijing to make an appeal in accordance with Chinese law. The peaceful appeal received international attention because of the peacefulness, rationality, good faith, forbearance, self-discipline and high level of social awareness demonstrated by Falun Gong practitioners. -
About My Korean Colleagues
2004-05-05He asked why I didn’t go back to visit my parents, and I explained that I couldn’t. “Why?” he asked. Before I even started to answer, the Korean colleagues nearby all started answering the question for me. “She practices Falun Gong, and the Chinese government is persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.” “The Chinese Consulate has bugged her home phone line.” “Her name is even on the blacklist.” The lunch break that day became a discussion about how the Chinese government has been trampling on the human rights of local Canadian residents on Canadian soil. The Canadian student kept saying, “Really? Really?” -
Chen Gang - Eyewitness of the "4.25" Incident: A Great Page Has Been Recorded By History
2004-05-04"Chen Gang agreed to meet his mother at the Central Appeals Bureau near Zhongnanhai at 9am. Unexpectedly, many Falun Gong practitioners had already gathered there. Everyone stood quietly outside Zhongnanhai in an orderly manner. Everyone had only one wish, to call for the release of practitioners detained in Tianjin. That evening, everyone left quietly because they learnt that the Tianjin practitioners would be released. Premier Zhu had reached an amicable agreement with the representatives." -
Instantaneous Enlightenment - Awakening to the Fa
2004-05-04I used to think studying the Fa is similar to storing apples for the winter, I can study it more in a day, and skip it for several days. Now it becomes more and more obvious that studying the Fa is equivalent to dining, you can't skip a single meal. Cultivation for improvement needs the Fa just like a growing child needs food. An increase in nutrition is necessary to enable daily growth. -
Clarify the Truth From the Audience's Perspective
2004-05-04I still talk with people about the persecution and the beauty of Dafa. More often I talk to them from the angle of a regular member of the public. I say to them "we disclose the evil doings of Jiang's regime and hope you can support justice, support Dafa, and join us in stopping the persecution." All people who hear me when I talk in this manner say, "What you just said is so good!" -
Practitioners are Like Mirrors, Reflecting My Attachments
2004-05-02Once, a practitioner expressed that another practitioner only did the work that he felt was immediately important to him and he did not care other things. My fellow practitioner then said that I was the same way as that practitioner. Actually, I do think it is best if we do what we think we should do in Dafa work, and quietly do a good job. But perhaps we could do even better in validating Dafa if we could form a whole body. In pondering this situation, I realised that I had not formed a whole body with other practitioners! -
Brief Discussion on Not Being Led by Our Attachments
2004-05-02Since so many people are soaked inside with feelings of fame, self-interest and emotions, there are all kinds of attachments that result. Thus, we need to maximally correct ourselves through cultivation, and not be disturbed by these things. It is easy to say, but hard to do. -
My First-hand Experience with Spies from the Shanghai Security Bureau
2004-04-30In 2001, my mother was arrested in Shanghai, and was illegally sentenced to three years of imprisonment. This was all because she wanted to clarify the truth and take part in group Falun Dafa study and exercises. Then, in the beginning of 2002, I began to receive phone calls from someone whose last name was Jiang, who pretended to want to help me. Actually, however, their goal was to try to persuade me into going to Shanghai. I saw through this plot, however. -
"Words Can't Express One's Gratitude Towards Great Benevolence"
2004-04-30Later I found out that after Sister Han read all the truth clarification materials, she was deeply touched by Dafa, and she recognised the heinous nature of the persecution. She wrote a three-page article about her understandings, in which she expounded on Dafa practitioners' comments, faith and belief, the freedom and the legality to appeal, as well as the law-breaking and constitution-violating nature of Jiang's persecution, from the perspective of her position in the legal profession. -
Jiang Zemin Is the Main Culprit Behind the Persecution of Falun Gong -- Part 1
2004-04-29When Jiang Zemin became the General Secretary of the Party, faith and morality were disappearing from society. The dramatic political changes sweeping Eastern Europe greatly shocked the leadership of the Chinese regime. After the Party's 15th General Assembly in 1997, Jiang Zemin became the "core leader" of the Party, giving him ultimate power. It was widely discussed that his motives were selfish and for his enjoyment of his position. To ensure this intent, Jiang cracked down on any groups that were not under his direct control.
