Spreading the Fa in Iran (Fa-conference in Geneva 2003)
2003-03-31Something strange happened that evening, it was a very hot summer and all of the windows were open. After finishing the exercises the weather got windy and it started to rain. I saw people speaking quietly with each other and I asked what was going on. One of them told me that Tehran had not had any rain for several months and the rain was a good sign and they thought Falun Gong had to be a good method, because the heavens had sent them the rain. -
Emphasis on Concurrently Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts Worldwide
2003-03-31For the past few days, I felt it more and more likely that the problem actually resided in myself - that I had not started to do it myself. I tried to do a calculation, based on what I had done in sending righteous thoughts 3 out of 4 times a day. If there exist 100 million practitioners worldwide like me, what is the possibility of practitioners as a whole sending forth righteous thoughts all at the same time? The answer is almost zero. -
A Short Story Illustrating the Power of Righteous Thoughts
2003-03-30The corrupt authorities hired people to monitor a female Falun Dafa practitioner, who was over 50 years old, on so-called "sensitive" days. Despite this, she continued to put up posters everywhere. Finally, one night, the pair that followed her moved a bed up against the only exit from her home. After the monitors fell sleep, the practitioner opened the door, moved the bed aside, and pushed it back after she left. -
A Third Grader: I Am Starting to Clarify the Truth, Too
2003-03-29In the principals office, Ms Zhang asked us, "Do you practise Falun Gong?" We said, "Yes." She mentioned the self-immolation incident, so I explained the facts to her. I told her, "We don't set ourselves on fire. Nothing in Zhuan Falun indicates that we should kill ourselves. The report on the self-immolation was false." Then the other practitioner talked to her more about Falun Gong. When the bell rang, Ms. Zhang said to us, "You can go back to your classroom now." -
My Path of Fa-Rectification (Fa-conference in Geneva ,2003)
2003-03-29Master Lis insight and the power of the Fa penetrated beyond the depths of my depression and despair. As Master talked about dimensions and other phenomena, I instantly accepted it, and found it fascinating. This time there was no doubt in my mind that The Buddha Fa is most profound! I felt better than I had done in years, and this was only in the space of a couple of hours. -
My New Understanding of Why we Appeal in Front of the UN
2003-03-29Then if we dont think like this - Im a German disciple, he is a Swiss disciple, you are a Dutch disciple etc. - but instead think that we are all European disciples, we will truly form a whole body in Europe. Thus, the government work regarding the EU and UN is naturally our incumbent responsibility. If we can go further, we are not European disciples, not American disciples, Taiwanese disciples, but Dafa disciples who are undertaking Fa-rectification, then we will understand the obligations that we bear. -
My Thoughts on Reading the Statement From Hong Kong Practitioners
2003-03-28Why didnt I identify a fake practitioner as other fellow practitioners did? What gap do we have that made her choose to attempt to damage us? After sharing with fellow practitioners, I have gradually come to understand. Here I write down the details of what I have been through, as it might help us dig out the evil in ourselves from the complications of the superficialities. -
A Story of Going Through Customs
2003-03-28While driving to Switzerland to take part in the activities held during the United Nations human rights conference, we were stopped on the border to present our passports to the policeman. The passports visa of one fellow practitioner was found to have expired. He was unable to go through Customs. We, nine practitioners, discussed this matter together... -
Selling Dresses with Pure Hearts, Clarifying the Truth with Compassion
2003-03-27"We have received Falun Gong flyers, and watched Falun Gong Video-CDroms. We like them very much. But the media said exactly the opposite to you; we don't know what to believe. We thought we would get a chance to personally find out what kind of people practitioners are. Today our wish has been realised. Falun Gong practitioners are beautiful." -
I Found The Meaning of My Life in Fa-Rectification Cultivation (2003 Fa-conference, Gevena)
2003-03-27I obtained the Fa through a Chinese neighbour. After reading Zhuan Falun from cover to cover, my question was answered. The words are simple and easy to understand, but the principles are profound. When combined with modern science, it expounds the great principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, unraveling the riddles which mankind has puzzled for tens of thousands of years. I was full of joy and learned the exercises without delay and thus started my cultivation. -
"You Only Appreciate Something When You Dont Have It" (2003 Fa-conference, Geneva)
2003-03-27There is a saying you only appreciate something when you no longer have it. This is so true especially in terms of my recent trip to HK. I experienced a minor fraction of what it might be like to be detained for no valid reason. To have no freedom, but this was for a limited time only. I would like to share my recent experiences that are valuable to my cultivation. -
With Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions, I Walked Out of a Brainwashing Centre
2003-03-26On the 4th day, they told me that I would be sent to Masanjia Forced Labour Camp, and I said calmly, "I am not going to Masanjia, and I will not betray my belief." They then went to another room, leaving me to myself. I practised the exercises, sent forth righteous thoughts and recited Teacher's articles. After I finished practising the five exercises, I walked out of the room. -
A New Light in my Life (2003 Fa-conference in Geneva)
2003-03-26At this moment I wish to dedicate a special thought to all those practitioners who have lost their lives in China or those who are being tortured, persecuted, separated from their families or discredited, simply for defending the truth with benevolence. From a western nation, Spain, I want to transmit my solidarity, deepest respect and support and the petition of justice for those evil crimes against humanity. -
My understanding of One Body (2003 Fa-Conference in Geneva)
2003-03-26Sometimes it feels hard but I know its just an illusion which I have to jump out of. I often feel that I dont do well enough, and that I am not worthy, but at the same time I remember that I must not think like that, because it is slowing me down, instead this should be an impulse that motivates me. I have to keep going and always think of the ones that may still be saved. -
To Follow the Fa-rectification (Geneva Fa-conference, 2003)
2003-03-25I decided to go to Beijing to validate Dafa, to show people the immense value of the system and to tell about my miraculous healing. The sky in Beijing was dark due to a sandstorm. Tiananmen square was full of people. It was divided by police bars and was full of people in uniforms, policemen, police vans and under- cover police. I lifted my arms and began to sing "Falun Dafa Hao". People all around me fled away, as if shrinking...
