  • Three Stories from Prison

    Mr. Zheng, a Dafa practitioner, was arrested and imprisoned for raising awareness about the persecution. Upon entering his cell, the head of the cell immediately expressed his greetings, "All other cells have Falun Gong practitioners in them. I heard that Falun Gong is quite marvelous. Our cell is the only cell that doesn't have Falun Gong practitioners. How come they are just so unfair to our cell? It's wonderful now that you are here. Hurry up and teach me the exercises."
  • A Short Discussion About the State of Being Busy

    A simple Chinese character contains a lot of information. For instance, the Chinese character for “busy” is constructed by the character for “heart” on one side and “death” on the other. The character indicates that when a person gets “busy”, his or her “heart” tends to become “dead”. A man with dead heart is inclined to get into trouble. The Chinese word for “hurry” depicts a picture of a messy wasteland blanketed with weeds.
  • A Few Words About Changing the Way We Think

    Usually we think from the "me" perspective, on an I-would-like-to-do-this-or-that basis. Unconsciously, our priority becomes our own understanding, cultivation state and feelings. By following this pattern of thinking, we then mistakenly consider what we have done, based on our own wishes, as done according to the Dafa standard and requirement. In other words, this kind of thought pattern, albeit with good intention, would make us try to get what we want from the "me" perspective.
  • The Miracle of a Life Created by Falun Dafa -- The Inspirational Story of a Former Leukemia Patient

    In March 1995, I luckily found out about Falun Dafa. It was a turning point in my life. At the beginning when I went to the exercise site, I couldn't even perform the first four exercises since I was extremely weak and the condition of my heart was very poor. After some time of working on the exercises, my body gradually felt relaxed and I could easily finish the standing exercises, which lasted for an hour. I felt like I was saved from the hell of pain and hopelessness! It was a miracle!
  • Upgrading Character When studying the Fa

    It has been one year since I started practicing. As soon as I read Zhuan Falun I knew this book could really guide me to higher levels and all the way, I had no doubt about it. Sometimes I have really had a tough time, even wondering whether I can do this at all - if I really can manage to continue cultivation. At that time I have always felt that I just had no other choice but to continue, because this really is the path I want to take.
  • Indebted to Falun Dafa and to Master Li (Moscow Fa-Conference 2003)

    For me, the wish to get rid of attachments, stubborn desires for material gain preceded good results in terms of improving my physical and mental health in relation to practicing Falun Dafa. In a single month’s time all of my symptoms that I had due to an enlarged prostate were gone (it was 5 times its normal size previously), which allowed me to stop taking the medications that I had been told I would have to continue taking for the rest of my life. In a month’s time I stopped going to the chiropractor whom I usually saw weekly, because the pains in my leg and back disappeared.
  • Spreading the Fa at an Orphanage in Kiev (Moscow Fa-conference 2003)

    The children were asked to name all the things they can think of when they hear the words “Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance”. It was very touching to see how the children were thinking about these simple, pure truths, about which, due to the unfavorable circumstances, they had very few opportunities to think about. They surprised us with their deep understanding, and even taught us some things.
  • Reflections on the Current Stage of Fa-Rectification

    My current understanding in proceeding with the lawsuit is to clarify the truth to as many people as we possibly can in a controlled way. I mean we can use one aspect of the persecution to clarify the truth to one person and another part to clarify the truth to another person, but every practitioner should be using this lawsuit to clarify the truth to as many people as possible each day
  • A Letter to Lawyers of Different Countries from a Lady who was Persecuted in China

    The first time they tortured me by force-feeding was on July 18 2001. Every time they did this, a dozen people held me down on a bed and tied my hands and feet. In order not to let me see their faces and the tools they used, which had blood on them, they covered my whole body with a large piece of white cloth with a hole cut out around where my mouth was. They forced open my mouth with a steel opener used on horses and pried apart my teeth with steel pliers. They inserted a thick rubber tube more than two metres long into my mouth and then into my stomach. My mouth was filled with blood and my body was covered with bruises from being beaten.
  • The Jiang Regime Persecuted My Son to Death

    The evil police frequently visited my home to threaten and intimidate my family. My teenage son could no longer practise Falun Dafa peacefully because of tremendous pressure from his school and society. His improved health gradually became worse day by day. Four months after the persecution of Falun Gong began he died....
  • Heartfelt Words from a Practitioner: I Once Sat in a Wheelchair...

    I would never have imagined that just after beginning to practice and read, my physical condition significantly improved. My family members all noticed that I was getting better every day. The symptoms of my illnesses disappeared one by one, and day by day my energy level rose. In a brief two-month period my health had all but returned. Even an egg-sized tumor that was growing in my armpit totally disappeared. I was immensely happy, and my whole family witnessed my healing process.
  • Reflections on The Communist Party and the Persecution of Falun Gong

    All that Falun Gong practitioners have done is for the purpose of exposing and ending this persecution. Falun Gong practitioners won’t cause a violent revolution like the Communist Party did in those past years. Four years have passed since Jiang’s gang of crooks took control of the nation’s political machine and began to seize Falun Gong practitioners all across the country. This persecution has developed to this point today and Jiang’s crimes against Falun Gong cannot be forgiven.
  • “The Purpose of Every Major Campaign Launched by Communist Party Leaders is to Consolidate Their Own Personal Power”

    "When the suppression of Falun Gong started, I thought that something must have gone wrong with Jiang's power. I graduated in 1989, and I knew that many innocent students were shot to death on June 4, 1989. But the authorities of the communist party denied this to the utmost. When the 'self-immolation incident' was broadcast, I thought it was a true story with extra processing. I did not realize that Jiang cruelty had reached such an extent."
  • “Who Dares Let Go Of An Everyday Person’s Heart”—Truly Searching One’s Inner Self in Conflicts

    If you recognize that conflicts are caused by some attachments of yours or caused by the bad effect brought about by yourself, then why don’t you find the courage to take a step further and tell others about your shortcomings and hope everyone can advance together? In conflicts, in addition to daring to truly search oneself, one also needs to be honest from the bottom of one’s heart. See what will happen if one really has the sincerity to resolve conflicts?
  • Criminals Become Good People and Nobly Resist Persecution after Learning Dafa in Jail

    When the police attempted to forbid her from practising Falun Gong, she said to them, "I am unable to live without Falun Gong." On the night before the sentence was going to be pronounced, she dreamed that she was wearing white clothes and lying on a bloody road. A gentleman came and helped her up. He told her that she would not die. The next day at the sentencing she was granted a reprieve. This sentence was totally unexpected.
