A Solemn Moment
2003-03-22Looking at the female practitioners carrying the wreaths, I could see that they were not simply carrying these wreaths, they were bearing them with the deepest of respect for the tragic waste of these lives. I was deeply touched by the heart-felt reverence that showed in their solemn faces and in their slow and dignified footsteps. -
Left Hand and Right Hand
2003-03-22No matter whether the persecution is aiming at Dafa disciples in mainland China or overseas disciples, it is actually aiming at all Dafa disciples. Even if we are not the direct targets, we are still under the test of what is on our mind and how we react when other Dafa disciples are being persecuted. The indifference to the persecution of other Dafa disciples is by no means a state that a Dafa particle should be in. -
The Call of an Elementary School Pupil from China
2003-03-20I am a lucky child because I have been given the chance to practise Falun Gong. I can't understand what is so wrong with being a good person in this land where I grew up. The bad people constantly forbid people to practise Falun Gong which would make society better. My school also forces everyone to sign their names to denounce Falun Gong. The lies and false propaganda are poisoning children's hearts. Seeing my classmates deceived, my heart is weeping. -
Australian Practitioners' Open Letter to the Kind-Hearted People of Mainland China
2003-03-20We, as citizens of Australia have been prompted to write this letter to voice our deepest concerns for the future prosperity of your country and your people. We believe that freedom is not a privilege but an absolute and fundamental right for the citizens of all nations! By valuing the principles of virtue and morality, the foundation of 5000 years of Chinese history and tradition, prosperity and peace will surely prevail! -
Break Free of Selfishness and Look at Things from the Overall Situation
2003-03-19When confronted with problems, we automatically think of what we have done, how others feel about our cultivation, what attachments we have, how we think this should be done etc. It is all self centered. But in terms of what it means in Fa rectification, how it affects the overall situation, what the overall situation requires, what we can do to make the overall situation better--these things are often forgotten. -
Falun Dafa Practitioners' Families Resist the Persecution with Courage of Righteousness
2003-03-18The practitioners wife put on her clothes, stood by the door and reprimanded the evil policemen loudly, "If you dare to break in shamelessly like this, I will not let you get away with it. My husband practices Falun Gong and has done nothing wrong. Instead of catching criminals, you spend all your time kidnapping Falun Gong practitioners. -
Let Our Hearts Be United As One
2003-03-18Whether the persecution is against practitioners inside China or abroad; whether the damage is physical or financial; whether the forms of persecution are savage beatings or hypocritical deception, the evil targets the Fa, not practitioners. Therefore, our hearts need to be united as one, although our tasks may be different. -
Strengthen Righteous Thoughts and the Main Consciousness
2003-03-17We all know the importance of studying the Fa, yet many of us make excuses for ourselves and do not study the Fa with a calm mind. I know some practitioners who have not read the book, practiced the exercises, or sent forth righteous thoughts for a long time. The three things that Teacher asked us to do apply to every Dafa practitioner. -
I Want To Say Something Fair for Falun Dafa
2003-03-16I went to the County Political Safety Department to reason with them. I said, "She did nothing wrong by practising Falun Gong; her disease was cured and she wanted to be a good person. If you don't allow that, you are violating her basic rights!" The people from the Political Safety Department said, "This is ordered by the top; we dare not refuse. In China, you need to obey the Chinese government." -
Appealing for Falun Gong in Front of the Chinese Consulate in Milan.
2003-03-16Sometimes on my way to the consulate, it did not rain, but as soon as I sat down outside the consulate, it would start raining with gusts of wicked wind. Once when I was sending forth righteous thoughts in the rain, at first I felt suppressed as if a heavy stone were weighing down on me. Some time later, my legs were in pain even when I did not have them crossed, my arms and back starting aching. -
Some Understandings of Teacher's Recent Comment on a Practitioner's Article
2003-03-16I realised that the different approaches practitioners use actually amounted to only different task allocations. Often the people we clarify the truth to won't immediately believe what they hear at first. Results are eventually almost always only achieved through joint efforts by different practitioners, using a variety of means. -
Foundations of Chemistry in Ancient China
2003-03-16It is unthinkable to modern people, who understand that science and technology bring wealth, that valuable technologies were not preserved in ancient China. Actually, this issue has to do with the underlying assumptions of the scientific theories and moral attainments of scientists in ancient China. I will begin a series of discussions on various disciplines of chemistry in ancient China by first talking about the ancient Chinese theories regarding substances. -
As the Head of His Company, My Husband Clarifies the Truth and Resists the Persecution of Falun Dafa
2003-03-15When asked questions about Falun Gong, he said, "Falun Gong teaches people to be good and kind, and is very beneficial to the country. What's wrong with it? Right or wrong is not determined by a certain person or an organisation, it's determined by the nature of the issue itself. I've never seen any examples like they show on the TV. What I see is that Falun Gong practitioners in many areas are healthy, with rosy complexions; they are kind and unselfish; and their spiritual realm is higher than we communist party members and officials. -
Thoughts About "Heavenly Demons"
2003-03-15I indeed have a lot of areas that need to be corrected during cultivation. What was deemed a great virtue in the past now becomes the biggest obstacle. When I consider habits like sticking to the rules and being uncompromising, as well as qualities that I refused to consider as positive in the past, it has often made me think twice. -
To Cultivate Away the Old Forces
2003-03-14I think, during our course of cultivation, Dafa disciples understanding of the Fa needs a process. (Of course, my current understanding is not absolutely right and perfect.) During the process, we naturally will talk about and think of the old forces to understand them further. When we really understand about them from the Fa, the word old forces should disappear from our thoughts and our views little by little because we do not even acknowledge them.
