Commentary: I Openly Applaud Falun Gong's Approach of "Targeting Individuals and Bringing them to Justice According to the Law"
2003-09-03My recollection of the beginning of the persecution is that Falun Gong did not resist the Party. They just repeatedly appealed to the Party and expressed that they had no intention to resist the Party, to be involved in politics, or even to form an organization. All they requested was a environment where they could practice freely. However, it was these good intentions that encouraged the evil people in the Chinese Communist Party who wanted to suppress Falun Gong. -
Clarifying the Truth to Chinese Students at a Scottish University (UK Fa Conference 2003)
2003-09-03Clarifying the truth to the Chinese is a really important area of Dafa work, but I rarely had the chance to talk to everyday Chinese people face to face. Whilst I had no problem with handing out fliers, I didnt feel particularly comfortable about approaching Chinese strangers in the street and attempting to start a conversation about Falun Gong. I would prefer to introduce the subject within a context that felt more natural. -
Appealing Outside the Chinese Consulate (UK Fa Conference 2003)
2003-09-03Why such slow and leisurely steps? Hurry up and tell them. Master's words had been coming to mind. It was now a case of waiting for people to emerge from the Consulate entrance. They could either turn left or right. In order to allow them to clear the Consulate entrance by a couple of yards so as not to be to conspicuous to the Consulate cameras, I had to do mini-sprints to catch them up on the Consulate side of the road. Hurry up and tell them took on a real meaning for me and leisurely steps became a thing of the past. The -
Let us Work Together to Truly Bring jiang to Justice (UK Fa Conference 2003)
2003-09-02Let us work together to expose the real head of the evil in the world for what he is. Let us call upon every member of the media and the public all over the world, through each of their own unique roles in society, to bring Jiang Zemin to justice with the sense of righteousness and conscience in their own hearts. -
Clarifying the Truth to the Media by Building a Good Relationship with Reporters (UK Fa Conference 2003)
2003-09-02I also learned that building a trusting and friendly relationship with media reporters without pursuing any outcome has a great result. To build a solid foundation with the media requires personal contact and it is also important not to overload them with the issues we want to cover all at once. In many respects, quality can be more important than quantity. One good relationship with a reporter is worth more than sending out many press releases with no personal contact. -
Cultivate Xinxing At All Times (UK Fa-conference 2003)
2003-09-01In the ordinary human society, there are all kinds of people. When we distribute truth-clarifying materials, some people will not accept our leaflets, and some Chinese people even exhibit irrational and bizarre behaviour. Having constantly improved through cultivation, I no longer allow myself to be affected by such things and I also avoid making definitive comments on them. At the same time, I make sure I search my own heart to examine whether I have got attachments or bad thoughts that I need to get rid of using righteous thoughts. -
Clarifying the Truth to the Precious Chinese at the Airport (UK Fa Conference 2003)
2003-09-01I went to Heathrow to meet an Air China flight from Beijing. I sent forth righteous thoughts before starting to hand out Chinese leaflets, but the only response I got was a shake of the head. I thought perhaps they didn't like the pictures of injured practitioners on the bottom of the leaflet, so I folded the leaflet - but this didn't help. I left the airport feeling very downhearted after not giving out a single leaflet. -
My Experiences of Clarifying the truth to Chinese People. (UK Fa Conference 2003)
2003-08-31The lies that the regime in China have used to poison so many innocent Chinese people are despicable. When I look at how many benefits Ive received from practising Falun Dafa, I feel heart-broken that so many good people in China are not able to know the truth and may even have bad thoughts about Dafa, due to the relentless propaganda. I would like to share with you one way I have found to let many precious Chinese people learn the truth about Falun Dafa. -
Reflecting on my Experiences at the Washington DC Fa Conference (UK Fa Conference 2003)
2003-08-31Going to Washington this summer was my first time abroad since I started practising Falun Dafa about 3 years ago. As soon as another practitioner mentioned Washington, I felt in my heart that I should go and validate the Fa there, so I followed my heart in Fa-rectification. Later, I had strong doubts of whether to go or not, as I failed some exams at university and would have to re-sit them over summer. Failing to pass meant that I would have to withdraw from the course. -
Why We Cannot "Practise Secretly at Home"
2003-08-30In China, many practitioners' family members have witnessed practitioners being persecuted with their own eyes. Family members concerned for the welfare of their loved ones might ask, "Why not just say 'I will give up practising' and then go back home and practise secretly. Isn't that all right?" I would like to share a little of my understanding regarding this issue. -
My Enlightenment to the Importance of Diligent Cultivation Through a Long-term Toothache
2003-08-30I obtained the Fa before July 20th, 1999, but what constantly confused me was that no matter how I cultivated myself, I could hardly feel any progress, and my xinxing level wasnt improved much either. I seemed to be enveloped by something very thick, and couldnt assimilate to the universal principles Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. As for the sayings such as once in a thousand years or the only chance throughout the ages", they didnt seem to have any impact on me. -
There Are Chances to Validate the Fa under Any Circumstances
2003-08-30After [promoting Fa at the wedding feast], there was even misunderstanding between my family and me. They complained that I dared to promote the Fa regardless of the occasion or place, and then paid no attention to me. My daughter said with anger, You arent afraid that XX Party would come to give you a hard time? Then I told her, People should not be too selfish. You understand that Dafa is good. Why dont you want to help more people to understand Dafa? -
A Letter From the Heart: "This is not about politics. This is not a job. It is my conscience"
2003-08-29Especially many of the law enforcement officers who have committed much atrocities against Dafa practitioners just because they needed to keep their jobs or worse yet, for the sake of their self interest? Aren't those who participate in the persecution in danger? Aren't they a threat to the public? What disasters can they bring to the country? As a Falun Gong practitioner, and as a human being who practices "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," shouldn't I extend every effort to tell the truth to more people? -
Reference Material: As If Awakening From a Dream - A Young Man Learns the Truth About The Chinese Communist Party's Bloody Path of History
2003-08-29"In the past I had been angry with corruption and underhanded Party dealings, but I had always told myself that errors are unavoidable. If we correct the errors, our Party would still have a bright future. Later, I had pinned my hopes on evolution and internal changes in the Party. Yet more and more of my wishful thinking met with dashed hopes, time and time again. But still I didn't dare doubt the Party, and as a result continued to be deceived and unaware of its true evil nature." -
Removing Human Notions and Continuously Elevating in Fa-Rectification Cultivation (UK Fa Conference 2003)
2003-08-29One day, I decided to increase my Fa study. I started to read Zhuan Falun peacefully, and read 3 or 4 chapters in a row. When I closed the book, and thought about what Id just read, I found only one sentence shone brightly and deeply in my heart: look inward, improving xinxing. I felt a feeling that Id never felt before. All the cells in my body and soul seemed to wake up at that moment and say cultivate with your heart.
