Standing on My Recovered Legs, I Will Dispute with Anyone Who Says That Falun Gong is Not Good
2004-03-02After a few days, the black color of my skin began to subside. Despite the severe pain, and all the tears I had shed and the sweat I had perspired, my confidence level dramatically increased. After a while the black color was all gone and I could stand up. With persistence in studying the Fa and doing exercises I had overcome the illness. Falun Dafa saved my legs and everyone who saw me later was surprised. I told my wife, "Let's go to the hospital to show them. I want to tell them that Falun Dafa is great." -
Transcend Self, Truly Cultivate in Dafa
2004-02-29Dafa is so magnificent and can transform all that is bad to good. Now I can see that some practitioners still have not changed their fundamentally self-oriented nature, even though they are involved with the Fa-rectification and efforts of saving sentient beings. Because their true nature has not changed, they are in fact undermining from within. I know Teacher treasures them and continues to provide opportunities for them to rise by pointing out their shortcomings. -
Discussing False Cultivation in a Few Words
2004-02-27During cultivation, we are unable to distinguish who is truly cultivating and who is not. The standard of a true cultivator is not something we can attain simply by thinking about it. In my opinion, the more one cultivates the more at ease he should be, the more his heart will be relaxed and calm, and the notions in his mind will become fewer and fewer. However, if we have cultivated for many years and the change in our xinxing is small, we should ask ourselves, "Am I a true cultivator? Would a true cultivator act like me?" -
Being Diligent on the Path of Cultivation While Working With Practitioners of the Opposite Sex
2004-02-27I will share a cultivation story that deeply touched my heart. In the early days of Sakyamuni's spreading of his Fa, his step-brother Nanda stayed with him to cultivate. Nanda had a young and beautiful wife and they lived a very happy life. When the Buddha spread his Dharma, Nanda simply could not cultivate diligently. He would often sneak back home to unite with his wife whenever the Buddha went out. Seeing Nanda's attachment, the Buddha took him to a forest where they came across an ugly black monkey. -
Flemish Magazine Publishes Interview with Falun Gong Practitioner and Famous Musician Sterling Campbell
2004-02-26'Truthfulness, compassion and forbearance are the three virtues Sterling Campbell, the drummer of David Bowie, strives for. He is a practitioner of the old Chinese meditation system Falun Dafa. ‘Falun Dafa keeps me on the rails. It made me into a better person,’ he says, when we meet him in a hotel in Brussels.' -
A Brief Discussion of Forms and Formalities
2004-02-26As Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples, not only should we break through the constant and regular forces accumulated throughout history at this human level, but we should also free ourselves from the old cosmos's principles. In the process of validating the new cosmos's principles, we should understand the new cosmos's form. Therefore, a true cultivator should constantly understand the Fa-principles, while at the same time constantly assimilate to the cosmos's form. -
Villagers Buy VCD Players In Order To View Truth-Clarifying VCDs
2004-02-26When the persecution first started, some people in the village tore down truth-clarifying posters. Now, nobody tears them down anymore. Posters with "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and "Falun Dafa is Good" can be seen everywhere in and around the village. A banner with "Bring Jiang Zemin To Justice Around the World" is hanging on a street lamp pole for people to see. Everyone in the village knows Falun Dafa is good. -
Some thoughts regarding the United Nations Human Rights Commission
2004-02-25My understanding is that our purpose in clarifying the truth to the United Nations Human Rights Commission about a resolution on human rights in China should be to save sentient beings. If the commission passes such a resolution, this won’t end the persecution - that can only be done by Dafa disciples - but a resolution like that, passed by the representatives of so many countries, would save countless sentient beings. -
A Further Discussion of “Self”
2004-02-24I was shocked to discover that I have so many attachments. I even doubted that I had really been cultivating and elevating myself at all. I could distinctly sense that these bad thoughts were living substances. They played a negative role when I validated the Fa and caused interference and disturbance to myself and other practitioners. After studying the Fa with a calm heart, I patiently examined and scrutinised every attachment that I found and tried to find the root of it. -
Falun Dafa Cured My Leukaemia
2004-02-24When my life was in a critical condition, I learned that Master Li was going to give a lecture in Dalian City. As our last hope, a family member carried me onto the train going to Dalian. It was truly a miracle -- as soon as the train started and left Jinzhou, I felt better and my appetite improved. On the second day, we arrived in Dalian and listened to Master Li's lecture. During the break in the lecture, Master Li purified our bodies and my fever disappeared immediately, -
Solemn Warning to Jiang's Followers: Atone for Your Crimes with Good Deeds and Redeem Your Futures
2004-02-23Jiang's group has been persecuting Falun Gong for more than four years, during which time countless Falun Gong practitioners, their families, friends and colleagues were targeted and suffered various losses. As Jiang's group tries to destroy the evidence in trying to escape punishment, can they also undo the anguish and torment they caused Falun Gong practitioners and their families and friends? -

Former Police Officer Recalls the Ruthless Treatment of Dafa Practitioners in Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1999
2004-02-22The young man struggled to take off his jacket and revealed a yellow T-shirt underneath that read, "Truth- Compassion-Tolerance." I saw he was a Dafa practitioner, so I ran up and said to the police, "Don't beat him, he is a good person." A plainclothes police officer yelled at me, saying, "We are executing public order, go away!" I said, "I'm also a police officer. Police should suppress the bad and support the good. You shouldn't beat people like this!" -
A Miracle of Falun Dafa: Lymphoma Disappears
2004-02-22At the age of 88, my mother now lives better than ever. Some people even joke that she is just like a thousand-year-old iron tree bursting into blossom. Under her influence, many people in her village started practising Falun Gong. Mum told me that she would have died long ago were it not for practising Falun Dafa, and that only the practice of the Great Law of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance could possibly change one's fate. -
Studying the Fa to Drive Out Interference.
2004-02-21After making some calls to China this morning, I felt that I had made a breakthrough and enlightened to something. A cultivator’s every thought is powerful. Gods can see it, and so does the evil. Anything, big or small, happening around us is related to our cultivation, so every notion or thought should be measured by the Fa. In the midst of being interfered with, or in confusion, we cannot always find a definite way through, but we are able to make breakthroughs as long as we persevere with Fa-study
