A German Falun Gong Practitioner’s Impressions of the Events in Geneva
2004-03-24
I am visiting Geneva during the 60th session of the Commission on Human Rights, the annual UN human rights conference. Many Falun Gong practitioners visit Geneva at this time of year for a reason: to call attention to the human rights violations committed against Falun Gong practitioners in China. Today, practitioners will man five information booths, located at different locations in Geneva, to inform Geneva’s residents and visitors about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, a persecution that has already caused hundreds of deaths. -
Thoughts After An Experience Sharing Conference On Clarifying The Facts
2004-03-23Participants benefited from the rich and valuable experiences shared by practitioners and they also benefited greatly from the proposals that were a result of the collective thoughts and the process of encouraging practitioners to overcome difficulties and attachments and join the great tide of the Fa rectification. They deeply felt that it was worthwhile making the trip. -
On Encompassing Others
2004-03-23Sharing experiences in and of it self doesn’t mean you are forcing others to accept your opinion but rather speaking out to allow others to know how you view a particular matter. Any practitioner who holds views on a matter reflects their cultivation state. It is not an objective discussion and conclusion of the matters at hand. Because of different cultivation states it is natural that there are different opinions of the same matter. -
The Environment for Clarifying the Truth Should Also Be a Purified Place of Dafa
2004-03-22As the Fa-rectification proceeds unceasingly, the number of Falun Dafa activities that I participate in has gradually grown. During this process, I have found that some common problems and tribulations have repeatedly occurred. After I had thought about these issues I came to realise that they are tricks used to consume Dafa practitioners’ energy. This is what I have enlightened to recently and is what I would like to share in this article. -
Coming To Geneva Once Again
2004-03-22As I approach Geneva to go to the headquarters of the United Nations I came to realise that this trip will have been the seventh for many practitioners among us. The earliest trip would have been when Master personally taught the Fa in Switzerland in 1998. After that, and since the beginning of the persecution of Falun Gong in China on 20 July 1999, each trip here has been made to appeal to the Human Rights Commission which convenes in March and April of each year. -
Running the Campaign of Terror: Luo Gan's Role and Crimes in the Persecution of Falun Gong
2004-03-21Luo Gan was the Secretary of the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee. He is also the founding member and Chief Executive Officer of the Jiang regime's specialised agency to persecute Falun Gong - "the Leadership Team Office on the Issue of Falun Gong" of the CCP Central Committee - that is also called the "610 Office." During nearly five years of brutal persecution, Luo Gan has thoroughly planned, deployed and directed Jiang's annihilation policies and plays a major role in the Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong. -
Exposing the Crimes of Zhou Yongkang and a Call to Bring Him to Justice
2004-03-21On August the 27th 2001, Zhou Yongkang was sued on charges of crimes against humanity while visiting the U.S. Human rights lawyer Terri Marsh and 36-year-old Boston resident He Haiying delivered the complaint to Zhou. The complaint, submitted to the district court in Illinois, listed crimes including torture, abuse and punishments, crimes against humanity, and wrongful arrest. Zhou was also accused of violating the Torture Victims Protection Act and the Alien Tort Claims Act. -
Record of Crimes Committed by Liu Jing, Chief of the "610 Office"
2004-03-21As one of Jiang Zemin's main accomplices to persecute Falun Gong, Liu Jing directly led the way in fabricating and spreading lies, publicising hatred, defaming Falun Gong, and is responsible for Falun Gong practitioners being brutally tortured and killed. Liu Jing has so much blood on his hands. The crimes he has committed are monstrous. He should be brought to justice together with Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan and Zhou Yongkang. -
Interview with an Irish Practitioner During the Appeal Outside the UN in Geneva
2004-03-20"These people are all genuine, they come from all around the world, because from their hearts they really want the leaders of the world to look at and position themselves in the right way regarding this persecution. It’s not just about a bunch of people in China who are being persecuted. The reason they are being persecuted is because they practise Truthfulness Compassion and Tolerance. We’re giving the international community the chance to stand up and say, “these three principles of Truthfulness Compassion and Tolerance, you can’t persecute them. Don’t do that”" -
The Duty of All People Against Persecution is to Clarify the Truth to All Citizens
2004-03-20The other day I heard a practitioner say that reporters from nearby cities like to get in touch with her. Having clarified the truth for a few years, she has been contacting reporters about every event. She even lets reporters know when she is going to Falun Gong Experience Sharing Conferences in other cities. Every time she meets with them she is again able to reveal the true facts about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Now those reporters get on so well with her that they aren't willing to leave when they have finished interviewing her at her home. -
"Being a Good Person" and "Validating the Fa"
2004-03-20A Dafa practitioner should, of course, do well in his work and validate the Fa with his actions or words. However, it is not completely right for a practitioner to consider that he has validated the Fa and clarified the truth just because he has done well in his work and has harmonised his surroundings, and that all his neighbours or colleagues consider him "a good person." Here is an actual example that describes how Dafa practitioners in a certain rural area of China deal with the issue of being good people and harmonising the environment. I wrote it out to share with fellow practitioners. -
Great Britain: Practitioners vs. Disciples
2004-03-19In the past, when I wrote reports, I frequently submitted the articles in the name of “Dafa practitioner in Great Britain” because I felt that whether we have fulfilled the requirements of Dafa disciples or not should be judged by Master, not proclaimed by ourselves. As a practitioner, being modest should be correct. Furthermore, it is just a matter of a title, not a big deal. Not until many incidents recently occurred around me did I start to realise the inherent distinction between being a practitioner and being a disciple. -
A Story from China: A Small Table
2004-03-19"I found that the materials squeezed in the door by the Falun Gong practitioners sometimes fell to the ground and got trampled. I felt bad and so I put a small table out so the materials do not get dirty." I asked, "You have collected so many materials to show other people. Are you afraid?" He said seriously, "What is there to be afraid of? I am in my 80's. The Falun Gong practitioners are not even afraid of being arrested, imprisonment, even death. Why should we be afraid for just reading the materials?" -
Exposing the Truth About A 1999 TV Report that Slandered Falun Gong
2004-03-18We began to fight on the ninth day of our marriage. By June, our fighting had become so violent that we began the divorce process. Our marriage was less than 100 days old and was being dissolved. It often seemed that he wanted to beat me to death. I could no longer tolerate the abuse and wanted a divorce but he refused. He gathered together our parents, officials from our work units, and friends to persuade me. Song swore many times in front of many people that he would no longer beat or curse me... -
Falun Dafa Has Changed My Life
2004-03-17I often hear people say that infants begin to cry loudly right after their birth. That is to say that life is bitter right after birth. This is very true! Before I learned Dafa, I never had three consecutive good days. I had pain in my abdomen, pain in my waist, dizziness, sleeplessness, stuffy chest, and my ankles were so swollen and so heavy so that I had difficulty walking as if they were filled with lead. One day in December 1996, I received a Falun Gong pamphlet. My life was changed.
