In Order to Be Practitioners, We Have to Be Good People First - Falun Gong's Impact on Society (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) Many Falun Gong practitioners in Taiwan practice the exercises in parks and schools early every morning. Their minds and spirits are quiet and comfortable, their demeanor calm and peaceful. Many practitioners benefit from practicing Falun Gong, so they do the exercises everyday. They are also members of society from different walks of life, including scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen, doctors, attorneys, teachers, officials, students, police, housewives, and so on. Falun Gong requires practitioners to be good people in any environment, and it asks practitioners to do a good job at work and to always strive to improve themselves. Many practitioners, whether in their family, at work, or in society, are highly respected by those around them. Their good deeds and conduct are evident in many places in Taiwan, and these practitioners have become a stabilizing force in the society. Out of many possible examples, three practitioners from Taipei, Kaohsiung and Hualian are profiled below.

(First Written Experience Sharing for Falun Gong Practitioners in China)
(Clearwisdom.net) I began to learn Falun Dafa in 1999, when I was 21 years old. In the beginning I didn't understand how important it is to cherish the time and use it wisely; I didn't realize the importance of studying the Fa (1). As a matter of fact, it was as though I was in a state of limbo, and oftentimes I was unsure whether I should practice or not . After July 20, 1999, all the practitioners I knew went to Beijing to validate the Fa. I, However, remained hidden in my home. In December 2000, with the help of some of the other practitioners, I prepared to go to Beijing. My home phone was tapped, however, so my mother and I were forced to go to a brainwashing center. After I was there for three months, because of my mentality of fear and attachment to comfort, compounded by the fact that I didn't study the Fa well, I signed a "Guarantee Statement," and I tore up a Dafa book, as the police required.
