Clarifying the Truth and Saving Lives

My son is a high school student. I had explained to him the truth about Dafa many times, but it did not affect him. One day, I brought home a truth-clarifying VCD. My son watched it. While watching, he spoke to himself, saying, "How can it be like this? It's absolutely Nazism. I'd better let more people watch it." From then on, he changed. The most precious part is that he began to clarify the truth to his classmates and friends.

News from China

Today, 107 people announced their solemn declarations that all writings, speech, and actions done during the coercion by evil forces that are not in accordance with the Fa are completely null and void. These people will insist on cultivation, clean up the disgrace brought to Dafa, and do better to compensate for the damage to Dafa. They will be practitioners, open and aboveboard, and cultivate until consummation.

There is criminal evidence that Panjin City Forced Labor Institute tortures practitioners with cruel punishing devices. The wicked police guards torture practitioners by beating them up with sticks, shocking them with electric batons, handcuffing and hanging them in the air, locking them to a big board, and other physical torments. The vicious behavior of the institute director has caused public indignation.

Vicious police in Huanggu District, Shenyang City of Liaoning Province illegally arrested, detained, harassed and extorted money from a family of practitioners. They even illegally searched their home and confiscated their property. All three people in the family were forced to leave home in order to avoid arrest.

The "610" office, a terrorist organization in Jiaocheng District of Haozhou City, Anhui Province instigated the vicious police to illegally break into practitioners' homes and confiscate their property. Also, they kidnap, detain and fine the practitioners, which has brought disaster to the local people. On November 30, 2001, a ferry sank in Jiaocheng District causing 24 deaths.

News from Overseas

Dafa practitioners in Ukraine: the evil is afraid of the truth, afraid of our compassion that we cultivated from Dafa. When we don't have any attachments, we are in harmony with the characteristics of the cosmos, and then people will see the magnificent Dafa, "The Buddha light illuminates everywhere" and Dafa rectifies everything.

The experience of a practitioner from Southern Taiwan while participating in the South-East Asia Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference: share in learning and share in cultivating. The practitioners took advantage of every chance and promoted Dafa at the airport by doing group practice.

The Seattle Center of the Healing Arts held a dinner party on Dec 8 and invited some Dafa practitioners. The practitioner went and sang some songs written by themselves to all the participants.

The practitioners also introduced Dafa and clarified the truth to the people at the party.

One day in Paris: a small experience sharing conference at the dinner table. Practitioners from France and Taiwan promoted Dafa, shared their experiences in cultivation, and clarified the truth to people, together.

Cultivation Experiences

I had been arrested four times and jailed for a total of 15 months. During the detention, I was subjected to various tortures. I deeply realized that to rectify the Fa, we need to first rectify ourselves. When we meet the requirements of the Fa, evil will automatically be eliminated and the environment will change for sure. This past August, the director of the detention center even helped deliver Teacher's new articles to practitioners jailed inside. A criminal said at a meeting, "Falun Dafa is good! Kindhearted people, come learn Falun Gong. Had I learned Falun Gong before, I wouldn't have committed crimes and been jailed here."

A Dafa practitioner was forced to leave his (her) home and wander around to avoid arrest. Letting go of various attachments and deterring interference, this practitioner went to Beijing to validate Dafa on November 4. He (she) was arrested while he (she) was hanging a banner reading "Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance)" on the railing of Jinshui Bridge across from Tiananmen Square. During detention, this practitioner safeguarded Dafa with his (her) life and staged a hunger strike. Six days into the hunger strike, this practitioner was released.

Dafa rectifies everything; Dafa practitioners harmonize Dafa -- practitioners in the State of Pennsylvania shared Dafa and clarified the truth to the local government.
