Overcoming the Language Barrier and Clarifying the Truth to the French Congress Office.
2004-02-19It is not merely a problem that Falun Gong is facing, but a problem that affects France too. If we tacitly agree with this injustice, then it will happen again next time and it may keep on happening over and over. What happens to Falun Gong or foreigners this time may happen to French people next time, and in the end French people may suffer the pain of losing freedom and justice. Perhaps we can do something, not just for me or for Falun Gong practitioners, but also for France, freedom and justice. -
Discussion on Not Cooperating With the Evil During the French Incident.
2004-02-18It does not matter if the actions of the French police were completely unjustifiable or if some articles of the so-called “laws” were available to justify their actions, we should not have let them arrest and detain us at will. Truth clarification is an act of enormous mercy, why should we be arrested and taken to the police station because of it? By doing what they have done, the French police have failed to take responsibility for their future, and we should help them by clarifying the truth. -
Coming to Learn the Truth on the Verge of Death, My Brother's Life-Threatening Illnesses Were Cured and His Cultivation of Dafa Began
2004-02-17My younger cousin said, "Before, I was so afraid of uncle. I was scared that he would beat me. After uncle began practicing Falun Gong, he changed completely. He would not hit or shout at people anymore; no smoking and drinking anymore either. Now, uncle is healthy and his temper is good. He smiles all day. Even when he was hit by a taxi in the street, he still just told the driver he was fine. I also drive a taxi, but why have I never met such a good person? Nowadays, uncle is really good." -
Practising Falun Gong Again Results in a Full Recovery From Cancer
2004-02-16I am fifty years old. I truly embarked on the path of cultivation at the end of 1998. At that time, I was so riddled with illnesses that I felt that I would be better off dead than alive. I had many health problems, the most serious being Meniere's Syndrome. My yearly medical expenses were very high, which put me in great financial difficulty. After studying the Fa for three months, all my illnesses disappeared. Every day I was full of vitality and my face was glowing with health. I looked like a different person and I had truly experienced the miracle of Falun Dafa. -
Dafa Perfectly Harmonises My Family, Neighbourhood and Workplace
2004-02-15My parents-in-law are not practitioners but they respect Teacher very much and they think that Falun Dafa is good. A few of my relatives had formerly listened to the regime's lies and were manipulated by the media, but now they are also practising Falun Gong. They often tell me their experiences in practising Falun Gong. Even my elder brother, who had objections for a long time, also knows that Falun Gong is good. -
An "Iron Rose" Blossoming in Cold Winter
2004-02-14Many of her friends and relatives worried about her but could do nothing to help. The prison doctors and other people all said to each other, "They committed no crimes, and they just believe in the principle of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. How can it be possible to change a person's personal beliefs through arrest, torture and coercion? She should have been released a long time ago under such circumstances." -
Germany: Inspiration From a Toronto Practitioner Who Won a Lawsuit Against the Chinese Deputy Consul General
2004-02-13We may have various unrighteous thoughts, such as notions that it is no use to sue them because they enjoy diplomatic immunity; that we may as well focus our energy on other aspects since the lawsuit against Jiang’s regime is so important; that it is the mentality of struggle to prosecute Jiang, etc. As long as our first thought is unrighteous, the perspective from which we view problems will be human notions, not the Fa. -
Remaining Grounded in the Fundamentals of Cultivation
2004-02-12I wanted everything I did to be perfect. After all, didn't our words represent Dafa to the world? To some extent, this was genuine idealism, but now, looking back, I can see that my attitude was not totally righteous, as it was formed at least in part by an attachment to reputation. I could not easily accept criticism, so I would seek perfection in the hope there would be nothing for anyone to complain about. I was doing the right thing, but not for the right reason. -
Arrange Your Time Well; Put All Your Energies Into Validating the Fa .
2004-02-11If we have capabilities but do not use them and do not actively develop our own latent capabilities, speaking seriously, it is like seeing someone in mortal danger and not lifting a finger to save them. Moreover, it is irresponsible to one’s own cultivation. If the time for you to develop your capabilities presents itself but you do not do it, a lot of precious cultivation opportunities may be lost and many sentient beings that have placed their hopes in you may not be savable. -
Through All My Years of Bitter Struggle I Was Waiting For Falun Dafa
2004-02-10Other illnesses and pains all disappeared like a cloud of smoke. I knew that Teacher had purified my body and heart. I really experienced the situation of having a light body without any illness and great spiritual and physical well-being. When walking or riding a bicycle, I felt like I was being pushed forward by a wind at my back, with my legs and body so light they felt as if they would fly off with the wind. This was something I had never experienced before. -
Jiang's Culture of Hate and Terror Showcased in Paris as Yellow Scarves Are Barred from "Culture Year"
2004-02-08"I decided to write an article entitled "Too Much Vaudeville and too Little Culture" about this "culture" that has been incisively and vividly showcased in Paris--a farce which clearly tells the world's people that other than lion dancing, playing the dragon lantern, and showing a cheongsam, the Chinese ruling Party indeed has its own "culture" of "contents of thinking." This "culture" is what Jiang Zemin has initiated and created in person. It is the culture of hate and terror against the goodness of our 5,000 years of Chinese culture, which uses Falun Gong's "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" as the main target. This "culture," when Hu Jintao visited Paris, was presented to France as a special program for the "Chinese Culture Year" by Jiang Zemin's regime." -
How Mr. An Began Practising Falun Gong
2004-02-08Mr. Jin was fully deceived by the government propaganda and said something slandering Falun Dafa. After hearing Mr. Jin's comments, Mr. An yelled "You don't have to believe in Falun Dafa, but you should not curse it! Have you ever heard that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished by evil? Justice will prevail eventually." Mr. Jin left quietly after he heard what Mr. An said. Mr. An cleaned away the cow manure and continued to read the poster. -
Holding a Peaceful and Compassionate Attitude towards Sentient Beings to Save Them
2004-02-07I asked myself why I went to the newspaper office to tell them about my experience in Paris. As practitioners, nobody would help us if our mentality of selfishness arises. I began to get clear-headed. I should be using the Paris event to expose the evil, and clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the world. Master Li has pointed out very clearly in the 2003 Atlanta Fa Conference, “The most important goal in clarifying the truth is to save sentient beings.” -
Fa-Rectification Cultivation Gives Us More Strength Than We Think
2004-02-06I enlightened that on the road of cultivation, if I only care about personal consummation, I will always worry about whether I can hang on, and whether I will fall. As a result, my energy will be gradually consumed. However, if on the path of Fa-rectification cultivation we cultivate for others and for all sentient beings, we may find that we have more strength than we think! Not only can we pull others up on the way, but we can also help ourselves to reach the destination! -
A Deaf & Mute Practitioner Silently Validates Dafa
2004-02-05For the past three years, besides studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, this practitioner spent much of his time performing physical work for families in difficulty, those lacking people to do necessary hard labour. When he saw people needing help with planting rice shoots, he would volunteer to help. If he saw people needing help to carry heavy loads, he would also help. He would help fix the roads if he saw that they needed it. There were countless tasks like this that he contributed to.
