Falun Dafa Has Freed My Husband and Me From Illness

2003-11-05

It was really hard suffering in what felt like a living death. As a result of my excruciating illnesses, I became just like a withered old woman. It felt like one day was like a year. I even held thoughts of dying, in my mind. Just when I couldn't live or die, I received a copy of Zhuan Falun. I started to read it very seriously and carefully. While I was reading Zhuan Falun, I felt that my back did not hurt anymore, my mind cleared up, and all my illnesses seemed to have improved.

Purity of Words

2003-11-05

When reading classical Chinese literature, such as Shijing (Also called “The Book of Songs,” this is the earliest collection of Chinese poems including 305 poems of the Zhou Dynasty, 1122-256 B.C.) and Shen Xian Chuan (A collection of stories about celestial beings in ancient China) I found that ancient people chronicled events with a peaceful mind. They seldom used words and expressions steeped in emotion. No wonder Confucius said: “Among the three hundred poems, one sentence can cover all of them, i.e., the thought must be pure and righteous.”

Eight Years of Pain Cured in Five Days of Practicing Falun Gong

2003-11-02

I was extremely fearful of the cold in winter. I had to put on heavy cotton clothing when others had not yet put on sweaters. It was even worse in summer. While other people wore short sleeve shirts with the air-conditioning on, I still had to wear long sleeve shirts and could not even stand to have a fan blowing. Since my office was air-conditioned, I was not able to stay there unless my officemates agreed to turn it off.

Starting to Look Inside

2003-11-02

It is my personal understanding that whatever problem we come across and no matter what the situation, it is likely to be linked to our own attachments. I have found myself more frequently in situations in which I was constantly being criticized. Though it was hard not to become upset by it, I did learn to become more patient as fellow practitioners pointed out my attachments according to their perspectives.

Jiang Zemin's Persecution of Falun Gong is a Persecution of the Human Conscience

2003-11-01

Jiang advocates the motto "shut your mouth and get rich." He invites chief editors, editors and journalists of overseas media to visit China and win them over with investment deals. These media who are known for bold reporting and reports on scandals gave very limited coverage on this historically unprecedented persecution. For overseas Chinese media, the villainous group buys, invests or sends people to work for these media, so they gradually became overseas spokesmen for Jiang's villainous group.

People in China: "We Know that People Who Practise Falun Gong Are Good"

2003-10-26

One day I went to the market to buy some food. I told the salesperson, "You can give me the smaller ones." He looked at me strangely and asked, "Everyone always chooses food that is larger, why do you want to buy the smaller ones?" I said to him, "There are people in my home who practise Falun Dafa, and they tell me that I should think of others always, and be a good person." To my surprise, he replied immediately, "We all know that Falun Gong is good."

Commentary: Jiang Zemin Ranks Among The Most Despicable Murderers in History

2003-10-26

Some people may say that it is true that Jiang is wrong in persecuting Falun Gong, but that overall, China's economy has been developing fast during Jiang's tenure. Not only people's lives benefited, but China's overall power has also increased significantly. So they say that after comparing these things, Jiang's successes have outweighed the loss. This is fundamentally wrong. People need to know that with the economic growth, the difference between the rich and poor, as well as the level of unfairness in Chinese society has gone to extremes.

Remission From Cancer - My Mother's Cultivation Story

2003-10-24

Mother's health was getting better day-by-day. She insisted on leaving the hospital. I asked my brothers, sisters and other relatives and they also hoped to get mother out of the hospital. So I went to the doctor again. He also noticed the changes in my mother and said he would decide when the X ray test results come out. When the test results came out, the doctor was very surprised. The cancer tissue, which had earlier spread to the lungs, had now disappeared. The lung X-ray was clear and the cancerous bump had disappeared.

Treating Dafa Cultivation with a Pure and Clean Heart

2003-10-24

I remember that I had all kinds of deep and apparent attachments in the beginning of my cultivation. The relationship among my family members and my colleagues was very tense, and it seemed that I was in trouble all the time. But at that time I treated Dafa cultivation with a very sincere and pure heart. My only wish of cultivation was to return to my original, true self. With the gradual elimination of my attachments, my interpersonal relationship was getting better, and it was getting easy for me to create harmonious atmosphere.

My True Story: Teacher Li Helped Me Overcome A Physical Disability

2003-10-21

On June 27, 1999, right after the Chicago experience sharing conference, Teacher Li came to see the practitioners at the morning practice in Chicago's Olive Park. While trying to get closer to him, I stumbled and fell into the fountain. Teacher Li pulled me out of the fountain and answered the many questions I asked him. After Teacher Li left, on my way to the restroom I started to run very fast in spite of my disability. I was very surprised. I usually have a hard time walking. How could I run all of a sudden?

What We Do for Dafa Should Come from Our Own Hearts

2003-10-21

As particles of Dafa it should be only natural to do so and from that perspective there should not be a need to push or pressure each other into doing so. It is my understanding that Master has never pressured us into anything, so why should we practitioners act differently when it comes to this? We all should be aware of the importance of the things we are doing today, but we cannot forget to cultivate ourselves in the midst of this.

Why is the Evil Regime so Afraid of Zhang Cuiying's Painting Exhibition?

2003-10-20

Zhang Cuiying’s art exhibition has long promoted the principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance”, as well as exposing the evil nature of Jiang’s dictatorship. As a result, she has become a thorn in the side of the evil regime that persecutes Falun Gong. Her story has become more and more well-known by people, and the Jiang regime’s suppression has been condemned by more and more people as well. During this time she has also been continuously monitored and interfered with by the Chinese embassies.

Some Thoughts on the Nature of Jiang's Persecution

2003-10-19

After he got into power, Jiang tightened the dictatorship created by Mao, made use of the reforms created by Deng and stabilized his position. He assigned his son Jiang Mianheng, who had no experience, as the deputy dean of the China Academy of Science, and provided him with government loans to run his international business. He brought serious corruption to the government, and created a huge gap between the rich and poor. The society is becoming more and more unstable with the crime rate climbing.

Commentary: Falun Gong Brings Hope for Our Nation

2003-10-19

"I am touched to see so many Falun Gong practitioners under the sunshine here ... There are so many good Chinese people practicing Falun Gong outside China. Cultivation practice is a very good thing, though it is not easy to do. I feel sorry that so many Chinese people cannot practice openly in our own vast land of China. Where does my sorrow come from? From the totalitarian regime and the dictator."
