On Encompassing Others
2004-03-23Sharing experiences in and of it self doesn’t mean you are forcing others to accept your opinion but rather speaking out to allow others to know how you view a particular matter. Any practitioner who holds views on a matter reflects their cultivation state. It is not an objective discussion and conclusion of the matters at hand. Because of different cultivation states it is natural that there are different opinions of the same matter. -
The Environment for Clarifying the Truth Should Also Be a Purified Place of Dafa
2004-03-22As the Fa-rectification proceeds unceasingly, the number of Falun Dafa activities that I participate in has gradually grown. During this process, I have found that some common problems and tribulations have repeatedly occurred. After I had thought about these issues I came to realise that they are tricks used to consume Dafa practitioners’ energy. This is what I have enlightened to recently and is what I would like to share in this article. -
Coming To Geneva Once Again
2004-03-22As I approach Geneva to go to the headquarters of the United Nations I came to realise that this trip will have been the seventh for many practitioners among us. The earliest trip would have been when Master personally taught the Fa in Switzerland in 1998. After that, and since the beginning of the persecution of Falun Gong in China on 20 July 1999, each trip here has been made to appeal to the Human Rights Commission which convenes in March and April of each year. -
The Duty of All People Against Persecution is to Clarify the Truth to All Citizens
2004-03-20The other day I heard a practitioner say that reporters from nearby cities like to get in touch with her. Having clarified the truth for a few years, she has been contacting reporters about every event. She even lets reporters know when she is going to Falun Gong Experience Sharing Conferences in other cities. Every time she meets with them she is again able to reveal the true facts about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Now those reporters get on so well with her that they aren't willing to leave when they have finished interviewing her at her home. -
"Being a Good Person" and "Validating the Fa"
2004-03-20A Dafa practitioner should, of course, do well in his work and validate the Fa with his actions or words. However, it is not completely right for a practitioner to consider that he has validated the Fa and clarified the truth just because he has done well in his work and has harmonised his surroundings, and that all his neighbours or colleagues consider him "a good person." Here is an actual example that describes how Dafa practitioners in a certain rural area of China deal with the issue of being good people and harmonising the environment. I wrote it out to share with fellow practitioners. -
Great Britain: Practitioners vs. Disciples
2004-03-19In the past, when I wrote reports, I frequently submitted the articles in the name of “Dafa practitioner in Great Britain” because I felt that whether we have fulfilled the requirements of Dafa disciples or not should be judged by Master, not proclaimed by ourselves. As a practitioner, being modest should be correct. Furthermore, it is just a matter of a title, not a big deal. Not until many incidents recently occurred around me did I start to realise the inherent distinction between being a practitioner and being a disciple. -
A Story from China: A Small Table
2004-03-19"I found that the materials squeezed in the door by the Falun Gong practitioners sometimes fell to the ground and got trampled. I felt bad and so I put a small table out so the materials do not get dirty." I asked, "You have collected so many materials to show other people. Are you afraid?" He said seriously, "What is there to be afraid of? I am in my 80's. The Falun Gong practitioners are not even afraid of being arrested, imprisonment, even death. Why should we be afraid for just reading the materials?" -
Exposing the Truth About A 1999 TV Report that Slandered Falun Gong
2004-03-18We began to fight on the ninth day of our marriage. By June, our fighting had become so violent that we began the divorce process. Our marriage was less than 100 days old and was being dissolved. It often seemed that he wanted to beat me to death. I could no longer tolerate the abuse and wanted a divorce but he refused. He gathered together our parents, officials from our work units, and friends to persuade me. Song swore many times in front of many people that he would no longer beat or curse me... -
Falun Dafa Has Changed My Life
2004-03-17I often hear people say that infants begin to cry loudly right after their birth. That is to say that life is bitter right after birth. This is very true! Before I learned Dafa, I never had three consecutive good days. I had pain in my abdomen, pain in my waist, dizziness, sleeplessness, stuffy chest, and my ankles were so swollen and so heavy so that I had difficulty walking as if they were filled with lead. One day in December 1996, I received a Falun Gong pamphlet. My life was changed. -
Some Thoughts on the Geneva International Human Rights Meeting
2004-03-16If the whole body of Dafa disciples can send their purest righteous thoughts, which have enormous effects, then whatever we do we can do it well. Besides, the evil field will be eliminated to the highest degree. The United Nations consists of 53 countries in the world, so it is the international commissary in this human dimension. Each country is facing the issue of positioning themselves well and having a good future, so the responsibilities of each Dafa practitioner are immense. -
Take Advantage of the UN Human Rights Commission to Clarify the Truth
2004-03-16What’s critical is not the form or manifestation on the surface, but the effect underneath. If our xinxing level is upgraded, our energy will naturally be uplifted; if we stand in a higher position, we can see further and thus we are able to tackle problems with more wisdom. After all, as long as we do well in the three things Master Li asked us to do, everything will be covered. -
We should Systematically and Deeply Clarify the Facts in Geneva
2004-03-15There was a discussion amongst German practitioners on whether we should go to Geneva and why we should go. Some disciples said: We went there on so many occasions, the people there already know the truth, so there is no need for us to go any more. I think there is a question we need to think about here, how should we clarify the truth? -
Experience Sharing about Clarifying the Truth at the Annual Meeting of the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva
2004-03-15'For the truth-clarification activities associated with the annual meeting of United Nations Human Rights Commission (HRC) in Geneva, we have to bear in mind that this is a major project for the global Fa-Rectification. It is a joint effort of Dafa practitioners as a whole body. Therefore, we need to create opportunities so that more Dafa disciples can participate...' -
Miracles of Dafa: Two Cases of Patients Recovering from the Verge of Death
2004-03-13When I saw my brother in the hospital, he looked so different. His head was swollen and his eyes were bulging out of his head; his arms and legs were swollen and distorted too. When I realised that he could not even recognise me, the pain and sorrow I felt was immense. I calmed myself down and sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference. Later, I read Zhuan Falun to him in the hospital's emergency room day and night. With Teacher's help, his head soon became clear. -
Discussing the United Nations Human Rights Conference
2004-03-12Master has spoken about the attachments that we had to the United Nations previously. However, not depending on everyday people does not mean that we do not do anything at all. The United Nations is a unique organisation among everyday people, and the UN Human Rights Conference is the focus of concern about human rights from all over the world. It will also be the focus of the global media. This is a chance to clarify the truth on a large scale to a broad range of sentient beings.
