Poem: Far And Wide Rich And Profound

Entering society

From a northeastern Chinese city

A teaching from the heart

Transmitted by word of mouth

Then people shared

With whom they cared

What it was

That they had found

And so it did spread

From mouth to mouth

and heart to heart

Throughout that distant land

Boarders could not confine

Its momentum only grew

Flowing out of China

To countries through and through

Filling hearts

And expanding minds

Around the globe

The Great Law flew

Falun Dafa was introduced to the public on May 13, 1992 in the northeastern city Changchun in Jilin province China.

With problems

And uncertainty

Many questions did get asked

With puzzlement

And confusion

Some found it a truly difficult path

It is cultivation

And great tests

We must pass

For if we don't

We truly know

This chance is sure to pass

With benevolence and mercy

Given guidance

And direction

With the gift of all answers

To every single question

His words shining gold

Like a soothing cool breeze

Without doubt

We all know

We must read and read

At the end of 1994 The fundamental teachings of Falun Dafa were published in the book "Zhuan Falun"

From the youthful to the elderly

From the farmer to the wealthy

From the solders to the scientists

No one is left out

From all kinds of people

To all those in between

The greatest door has been open

So all may satisfy their dream

It was estimated in 1999 that about 100 million people in 30 plus countries around the world were studying Falun Dafa and practicing the exercises.

Although open

To anyone who wants this practice

A precious gift is given

For those who do deserve

Amidst all the friction

Within the tribulation

It is ones heart

That truly must

Make the clear distinction

With clear mind

And resolute heart

There never is a doubt

When waves get strong

And Continually grow

There will be no fear

Remaining sincere

And sailing clear

In Masters Great Law boat

On July 22nd 1999 The Peoples Republic of China began its another most severe persecution in history and focused it on Falun Dafa's founder and its practitioners. This still continues today.

Courageous cultivators

Strengthen their resolve

Watching with amazement

Stands everyone in the world

Where is it that these people

Find all such strength

All the world struggles to know

But can not understand

At what they look

And what they see

Is truly beyond man

But there it is

Before them stands

Shining in all its splendor

This Great Law

Without bound

Infinite it its grander

Despite assault, invasion of privacy, kidnapping, hard labour sentencing, illegal trials, torture, murder etc... Practitioners in China have only returned such treatment with Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. They continually go out in public or go to the government to stand up for the truth of Falun Dafa. Day after day more and more practitioners are taken to jails, mental hospitals, and labour camps.

Asked during torture

To defy and lie

With beaten bodies

And boundless hearts

Reciting Masters song

For without doubt

They will stay firm

To cultivate their pure gong

With Zhen Shan Ren

A practitioner is pure

The wicked hurt themselves

With compassion in heart

They try to help

Who can't see right and wrong

Those once heavy hands

Become light

As the bright casts out the dark

The once wicked learned

And now they know

To practice Falun Gong

In the face of the worst persecution practitioners have continually returned such treatment with unmatchable compassion. Many of the inmates and jail guards in many jails in China have started to practice Falun Gong.

All suffering bore

And difficulties past

We'll never understand

How Master did

What Master did

Teaching from land to land

All words to small

No heart can thank

The gift which is so grand

So today we stand

to celebrate

The brilliance of this Law

With respect to you

We do our best

To cultivate without flaw

It won't do

To not stay true

For we will surly fall

We must do more

And more and more

To further spread this Great Law

Today May 13th 2000 marks the 8th year since Falun Dafa was brought to the public. From all practitioners around the world. Thank you and Happy Birthday Master Li.

Although many people have found Falun Dafa there is a great many more who have no idea what Falun Dafa is.

So many are thinking

Why all the commission

What is this Falun Dafa

World wide in parks

And on the net

We're not that hard to find

But it's not us

That you need

For the book is yours to get

Zhuan Falun is its name

A possession you may claim

You can download it off the net

Open mind and open heart

Only then will you understand

And once you do, you wont forget

Nor will you ever regret

For those who truly

Receive this Law

Know to treasure it.
