  • A Family's Terrible Fortune Is Reversed

    In her view, we don't need to think about who or what is right or wrong. Since the government prohibited it, we must stay in line with the government thinking. Protecting ourselves is most important. It doesn't allow us to practice, so we stop practicing. It is such simple logic, but I did not do what she hoped I would.
  • Before and After Practising Falun Gong

    I felt so tired afterwards that I had to rest for two days. But now, I am very energetic and never have the feeling of being tired. At present, I repair bicycles on the street for a living. I study the Fa and do the exercises once in the morning and once at night. Some nights, I only sleep for three hours yet I don't feel tired no matter how busy I am during the day.
  • A Westerner Who Promoted the Shen Yun Performances

    "When I finished reading Zhuan Falun once, Master's teaching of "Returning to one's original true self" left a very deep impression on me, people raising oneself in compliance with "Zhen, Shan, Ren" (Truth-Compassion-Forbearance), and in the end returning to the origin of one's life - this was the meaning of life that I had been searching for before but had not found.
  • Falun Gong Saved My Father

    He was very sad and said, "I want to quit my medications. Seems I am doomed to die." Several of us recommended that he start practicing Falun Gong. We told him that my mother, a practitioner, could teach him. We also asked him to recite the words, "Falun Dafa is good" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good."
  • Two Stories of Cancer Cured Through Practicing Falun Gong

    More than two months passed. On the 18th of June (lunar calendar), I felt the pain disappear. I was surprised but I also knew that Master was starting to take care of me because I read the book. This is the manifestation of a miracle and the extraordinariness of Falun Gong. After the pain subsided, I was able to eat more. Eventually I completely recovered. Since then, I truly believed in Falun Dafa.
  • Taiwan Is Not Fooled by the CCP's Propaganda

    From the annual cultivation experience sharing conferences in Taiwan, we can see that similar to mainland China, Falun Gong practitioners in Taiwan come from all walks of life and diverse professions. There are government officials, university professors, doctors, workers, farmers, students, military personnel, retirees and children. Indeed, Falun Gong has become a popular cultivation practice in Taiwan society.
  • After Learning Falun Dafa, All My Chronic Illnesses Disappeared

    n the beginning, I shook all over my body after I finished practising the fifth exercise. But I did not flinch. I believed in Dafa and I would do what Master taught me in the book. I was bearing the pain silently. Two to three months later, the miracle occurred. All my chronic, decade-old illnesses disappeared. I knew this was the inevitable result of my steadfast faith in Dafa and Master. I felt very grateful for Master giving me a new life. I felt I had bathed in the goodness and compassion of the Buddha light.
  • "My Life Has Been Renewed by Falun Dafa"

    Soon after I started to practice, the most significant feeling was that my body felt light, as did my feet. It was just like what was said in Zhuan Falun. Not only did my whole body become very light, I also became very energetic, so that I didn't feel tired at all after having worked hard all day, which was totally different than I felt before.
  • Poet's Life Threatening Illness Disappears after Practising Falun Gong

    One day, after the first three months and 17 days of practising Falun Gong, she was able to cross her legs in the lotus posture. "I remember that moment, I felt as if there was an earthquake inside my body. All my pores were open, and my whole body was sweating. My head seemed to crack open. I had a mixture of feelings. The longer I sat, the more comfortable I felt." The next day, the flu-like symptoms were gone.
  • Supervisors Stand Up for Dafa Practitioners after Understanding the Truth

    Because of this, she had the thought that she wanted to read more about Falun Dafa. A few days later, the practitioner obtained a copy of Zhuan Falun for her. The teacher was extremely happy and also agreed to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
  • Two Stories: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Abdominal Tumor Disappear after Practicing Falun Gong

    I followed the movements slowly at first because neither my hands and feet were flexible. After one week, I felt relaxed and I could move my hands. After one month, I experienced body purification, feeling like I had a cold, suffering from diarrhoea, vomiting blood and other symptoms one after another. I felt much better after that.
  • New Statesman (UK): Why is Falun Gong Banned?

    What appears to have scared Jiang and other Party hardliners (some who are still in top posts, maintaining the campaign) was how popular and cross-social strata Falun Gong had become. In northern cities, workers practised Falun Gong together in factory yards before heading to the machines. Professors and students meditated on Tsinghua University lawns. Party leaders' wives and senior cadres had their own little group in central Beijing.
  • The Chinese Communist Party Continues to Hide Its Crimes During the Olympics

    Although the CCP was forced to unblock a few foreign-based websites under international pressure, many websites run by overseas Chinese remain blocked, particularly Falun Gong-related websites. This is another manifestation of the CCP's fear of the truth about the persecution being exposed and its hostility towards Chinese citizens.
  • The Desperation of the CCP as Reflected in the "Olympic Torch Relay" in Kaifeng City, Henan Province

    Falun Gong practitioners were not allowed to leave their homes, and if they had to, they were "accompanied" by several people assigned to monitor them. Some practitioners were even monitored before the torch arrived, and were detained in an "office" by the CCP personnel who told them clearly that they would be allowed to go home only after the "Olympic torch" relay was over. Some even went so far as to group-detain practitioners in the Party School in the northern suburbs of Kaifeng City.
  • The CCP's Persecution Makes it Hard for Sports Fans to Appreciate the Olympic Games

    Canadian newspaper Calgary Herald published a letter from reader Sanat. K. Das on August 13, 2008. He said that he found it hard to appreciate the Olympic Games this year because in his mind there were always scenes of Falun Gong practitioners having their organs harvested and innocent people being tortured and killed.
