Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.

Hello!

"On either shore the gibbons' chatter sounds without pause, while my light boat skims past thousands of crags." (Loud applause) The evil has exhausted its tricks, and the Dafa disciples have matured through the tempering. We're not afraid of any other tricks it might use. The persecution of Dafa and Dafa disciples has now lasted for over three years, and in no time it'll be four years. During this period a lot of our Dafa disciples, especially the Dafa disciples in Mainland China, have been subjected to evil persecution that's just unprecedented. In the midst of the terror that was created by lies and deceit, they've held up under the persecution, which is just evil to the extreme, and they've made it through these three years.

Followers from Falun Gong, the spiritual movement banned in mainland China, stage a sit-in protest December 15, 2002 against a controversial anti-subversion law, which rights activists and legal experts worry may roll back civil liberties.

What State of Mind Should Dafa Practitioners Have In Opposing Article 23 Legislation?

(Clearwisdom.net) What state of mind should Dafa practitioners have in opposing article 23 legislation? I have come to realize that it is Dafa practitioners' responsibility to clarify the truth, expose the evil, completely oppose the old forces' arrangements, and offer salvation to sentient beings. With regard to Article 23, we should hold the same state of mind.

Reflections on My Trip to Houston

(Clearwisdom.net)

Before the trip: I couldn't find my Zhuan Falun

Exactly one month has passed since my Houston trip. As I reflected on the events and insights I gained from the trip, I realised that if not for Master's infinite compassion in helping me to see the situation, I would have missed this great opportunity to carry out my responsibility as a Fa-rectification Dafa disciple. I knew about the Houston event very early on from US practitioners. And I knew the importance of this trip but due to my attachment to complacency, I procrastinated in making a focused decision to go. And on the night before the deadline to book the special airfare, I lapsed into human thinking, telling myself that it's too hard trying to get leave from work, make travel and accommodation arrangements, and having to travel alone. I had driven 2.5 hours from my home in the bush to the city. While I was making origami lotus flowers for the Body, Mind & Spirit Expo that weekend, I told a Dafa practitioner that I decided not to go to Houston.
