To the Second Dafa Conference in Russia

To the Second Dafa Conference in Russia:

During the Fa-rectification period our students have all done very well. This is especially so for the Russian students, who have, under the circumstance in which the people of Russia have been heavily influenced by the propaganda from China's evil political group, withstood all kinds of pressure and established a Dafa Association, and have played a big role in clarifying the truth. All of this is remarkable.

Path

Studying the Fa and doing cultivation are a person's own affair. Yet often there are quite a number of students who consistently take other people as their role models--they look at how other people do things and then follow suit.

Sometimes different professions really seem to be worlds apart.

Don't Forget to Thoroughly Clarify the Truth to Relatives and Friends

(Clearwidsom.net) The SOS emergency rescue activities started by practitioners, in different places of the world, are really encouraging. In my judgement, I believe it would be even more encouraging if practitioners in China could also join in the international SOS rescue. If this were to occur, the truth could be spread to every part of China. To solidify my opinion, one incident that took place last month leads me to believe my request is all the more necessary during this current time.

Press Statement at the New York Chinese Consulate on China's National Day

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today is October 1^st, China' National Day. It is also the first day of this year' Mid-Autumn Festival for Chinese people all around the world -- a joyous holiday much like Thanksgiving Day, filled with family reunions and celebrations and plenty of food.
