Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference

Teacher: Now that I think about it, the last time I sat down at a Fa Conference to answer questions for you was... seems like I haven't done it since July 20 of 1999, right? (Warm applause) (Reply: "Right.") Then today I'll really answer questions for you. (Applause) Things that you've been unable to resolve for long periods of time in your personal cultivation, or in the process of validating Dafa, or those that you've encountered--you can bring up all of them.

Then they punched him with a wooden stick about 2 inches in diameter, and caused his body to be covered with blood and bruises.
