Righteous Conduct Leads to Righteous Results
2003-02-24My colleague on the project had some prior film making experience, yet we were both amateurs with little skill in this area. The small team that had been assembled managed to produce a film in about five weeks. I look at it this way: Even though we are not professionals, with our noble hearts we can accomplish great things for Falun Dafa. -

Waking Up
2003-02-24Something happens to me when I wake up in the morning. It happens often, nearly every night, that I wake up in the very early hours of the morning and cannot sleep any more. Yesterday unrolls all over again in my minds eye and this time I can see when and sometimes also why I have not behaved as a practitioner should have. -
A Falun Dafa Practitioner's Letter to Her Husband and Daughter
2003-02-23However, I definitely will not forget the day you came to me with 200 Yuan before October 1st this year. You happily said to me, "Mom, this is a contribution for truth clarification.

You said to me, "Mom, I will take out 50 Yuan every month for truth clarification." -

Other leaders agreed with him, as they were suspicious of the police. -

Sweden: Not Missing Any Chance to Explain the Truth about Falun Gong
2003-02-21One night at work I was listening to a radio program that was has an audience of approximately 500,000 listeners. During the program, the host announced that they would give listeners the chance to call in and talk about matters that concerned them. Immediately, I realised that this was a good opportunity to explain the facts of Falun Gong to the Swedish people. -
A Few Words About Fear
2003-02-21Owing to selfishness, we unconsciously have misgivings and worries because we have learned to protect our own interests. It comes from the narrow-mindedness and insignificancy of selfishness. We are naturally nervous and cautious when the mentality of fear emerges because this selfishness does not come with the broadness and open-mindedness of selflessness, let alone perfect calmness. -
Many of my teachers say that Falun Gong is good. They practise Falun Gong and they are not stupid.
2003-02-21The town I live in is rather small and seldom are Chinese to be seen here. Yet one day all of a sudden, when we stand in the park and practise I see a thin and visible figure slowly walking towards our direction. Its a young woman with an Asian look. I call her and ask if she is Chinese. To my surprise she answers, Yes. -

Using Righteous Thoughts to Survive and Triumph During My Hunger Strike in a Forced Labour Camp
2003-02-19Those thugs would use foul language to defame Teacher in order to incite me to talk, but I would not budge and thus avoided falling into their traps. My staunch belief and faith was the only thing that mattered now. Each time that I was clear-minded, I would clear away interferences, and recall and study the Fa like a baby sucking milk. I felt that the Fa was so profound, instilling in me boundless confidence and helping me to break through many interferences and attachments. -
My Bicycle Journey to Beijing to Appeal for Falun Dafa
2003-02-18I had never spoken out in front of so many people before, so I did not pull out my banner right away. Time passed by quickly while I hesitated, trying to decide whether or not to raise my banner. When I looked at my watch, I saw that it was nearly noon. At that time, there were many tourists on the square. I thought to myself that I shouldn't miss such a good opportunity -
The Story of My Righteous Little Cousin
2003-02-18My little cousin though, did not yield to this emotional blackmail and firmly answered, "I want Falun Dafa. I can't give up Falun Dafa for the reason of my friends.

They folded paper together with her to make paper-cranes and even asked her for Falun Dafa books. -
Hooligan Changes His Mind Due to Righteous Thoughts
2003-02-16I told him the facts about the staged Tiananmen Self-Immolation incident, and the facts of how Falun Dafa practitioners suffered inhuman persecution for speaking out the truth. At first, he made some bad comments about Falun Dafa. I asked him to stop saying that before he had learned the truth about Falun Dafa, and he agreed. I told him the facts from my kind heart and with righteous thoughts. After a while, he apologised to me for what he had done.
