Fear and Conquering Fear
2004-04-28If we have taken a wrong path and made mistakes, rather than developing a fear of erring again and hesitating to go forward on our paths of Fa-rectification cultivation, we should try our best to correct our mistakes and temper ourselves so we can be more mature. Once we learn how to do things well, there will naturally be no need for us to feel that we are going to get hurt again. -
Chronic Liver Necrosis, Liver Blood Vessel Tumour, and Other Diseases Disappear After Practicing Falun Dafa
2004-04-28On March 12, 1997, Xin went to the exercise site to learn the exercises. In the beginning, she had to stop and take a break only after doing a few movements. Her poor physical condition did not deter her and she persisted in learning the exercises. Gradually, after doing the exercises, her appetite improved, her body became stronger, and her mood became much better. After two months of practicing the exercises, her complexion became rosy. Seeing this, her relatives and friends were very delighted and supportive of her doing the exercises and their gratitude to Falun gong was beyond description. -
On the Fifth Anniversary of the "April 25 Appeal" - Remembering April 25, 1999
2004-04-27Five years ago on April 25, 1999, approximately 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners went to appeal to the State Council's Appeals Office on Fuyou Street in Beijing. The world stood still as the Falun Gong practitioners appealed in a peaceful, rational, trusting, tolerant and highly self-disciplined manner. Nevertheless, on July 20 of the same year, Jiang Zemin's cohorts began a rigorous persecution of Falun Gong, using the government machinery to slander and attack Falun Gong. -
Exposing Crimes Committed by High-Ranking Official and Persecutor of Falun Gong Bo Xilai
2004-04-27China's recently appointed Commerce Minister Bo Xilai had planned a visit to Germany for March the 25th 2004. He would have encountered condemnation and the strongest possible protest for such a visit from Falun Gong practitioners in Germany, as well as human rights groups. They requested the German government to deny Mr. Bo entry. Following this, the Chinese Government postponed his visit. -
Account from an Eyewitness of the April the 25th Peaceful Appeal
2004-04-26On April the 25th 1999, about 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners appealed peacefully in Beijing. From beginning to end, everything was in order and there was no one making loud noises, raising banners, or shouting slogans. After the then Premier met with some representatives of the practitioners and reached a resolution, the Falun Gong practitioners left Beijing quietly. Later, Jiang Zemin used this incident as an excuse to initiate and carry out the brutal persecution against Falun Gong for more than four years. -
England: My Trip to Geneva
2004-04-26Before I went to Geneva, I had no idea what I could do there to help. Back then I believed that my righteous thoughts could strengthen the righteous field there. With that simple thought, I made up my mind to go to Geneva. Looking back now, I realise Master’s great mercy was with me in every step that I took . -
Turns Out that My Fellow Falun Dafa Practitioners Are So Beautiful
2004-04-26I have become ever more convinced that when a person becomes boundlessly compassionate, in their surrounding environment all selfish and degenerate elements will be rectified. I have also discovered that when I become more compassionate, I become more tolerant and generous, and my righteous thoughts become more powerful when eliminating evil in other dimensions. I suppose that as one is able to make a clear distinction between good and evil, one’s righteous thoughts will become more powerful as well. -
Germany: How a Practitioner Should View the Countries that do not Understand the Truth about Falun Gong
2004-04-25As long as the Fa rectification has not been completed we should use all the opportunities to let those countries who have been poisoned know the truth. Clarifying the truth is not our goal, “Clarifying the truth is the way to save sentient beings.” [Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Western U.S. Fa Conference]. If people do not know the truth, then their conscience will not be moved, therefore they may do something that could destroy their future. -
Truly Good People
2004-04-25In my opinion, Falun Gong practitioners are truly good people. They adhere to … ‘Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance,’ the Great Law of the Universe. They are not slaves who should be held imprisoned with criminals in forced labour camps. Good people should not be equated with people who are easy to bully. Good people should neither be bullied nor humiliated. Good people should not be detained in forced labour camps or jails, and nor should they be enslaved. -
Some Reflections on My Trip to Geneva
2004-04-24"When I get things done well, Master Li encourages me; when I encounter difficulties, He helps me; when I get lost, He enlightens me; when I come across dangerous situations, He safeguards me. In the meantime, I perceived that it is very important to cultivate our Xinxing without being moved by anyone or anything, because only a pure mind can produce righteous thoughts. Only when we have righteous thoughts and righteous actions, can we do Fa-rectification work well." -
Another Discussion About Group Fa-Study
2004-04-24However, some fellow practitioners did not realise their problems in Fa-study at all, or, even though they did realise the problems, they could not do anything about it. For example, when the equipment was having problems, they couldn't simply ignore it. Therefore they would be trapped in tribulations for a long time and couldn't break through. They would unconsciously create a bad circle, which manifested in such a way that they would become busier and busier, and become too busy to study the Fa. -
Positive Encouragement
2004-04-23I believe that positive encouragement will help each practitioner boost his confidence in cultivation and reinforce his righteous faith in Teacher and Dafa, and thus become more diligent in his cultivation. I believe that positive encouragement will help each practitioner who is suffering from tribulation overcome the tribulations and reinstate his diligence in cultivation. I also believe that positive encouragement will help those who have tripped and fallen in their cultivation to get up, make up for the losses, and catch up with the Fa-rectification. -
Explaining the Facts of the Persecution to Friends and Relatives Using Kindness and Wisdom
2004-04-23They were so surprised and excited. They asked me immediately, "We heard that you and your husband practiced Falun Gong, that you lost your job and your husband is being held in the forced labour camp. Are you still practicing? What can you tell us about Falun Gong?" Another relative said, "As soon as we saw that you are in such good shape and took such a long trip to visit us, we understood that the TV propaganda is all lies." The third person said, "I have been sick for a long time, but I got well this morning. It seems to be related to your coming." -
An Overview of Events at the UNHRC
2004-04-20"The Chinese government uses both economic enticement and diplomatic artifice to cause obstruction. As a consequence, proposals in the UN condemning China’s human rights have been pushed aside by the “No Action Motion” in previous years. As a matter of fact, western countries should realise that hesitating to join together in order to condemn China’s human rights, will cause the abuse of human rights by the CCP to last longer. There are many historical lessons to bear in mind." -
A Family of Practitioners in Rural China Actively Clarifies the Truth About Falun Dafa (Part 1)
2004-04-20I used to suffer from continuous illnesses before practicing, but I am completely healthy now. Years of practicing Falun Gong brought happiness and joy to our family, and we learned to treat others with respect and kindness. The whole village praised Falun Dafa. Many people came to our house to learn Falun Gong. After my sister got married and moved to another village, she brought Falun Dafa to that village, as well.
