(Clearwisdom.net) CCP officials have become extremely frightened in the wake of the exposure of their organ harvesting crimes. They are now trying to destroy evidence and cover up their crimes. On March 25, 2006, the Heilongjiang Province CCP Office issued an announcement (number [2006]12) ordering all relevant departments to destroy classified documents.

The announcement says, "In line with the requirements set in 'Tentative Regulations on the Administration and Dissemination of Central Government Documents' (number [2004]37, issued by the central government CCP office) and "Supplementary Regulation on the Administration of Central Government Documents'(number [2005]37, issued by the central government secretary bureau), and in order to ensure the efficient dissemination and security of central government and provincial government documents, as well as to prevent classified documents from being disclosed, the following classified documents must be destroyed: 1. classified documents issued by the central government to provincial military-, city- and county-level governments; 2. classified documents issued by the provincial government."

The announcement mandates that, "No department shall keep classified documents issued by the central and provincial governments." "Classified documents issued by the central government are to be turned in to the central government CCP office to be destroyed. Classified documents issued by the provincial government are to be turned in to the provincial government CCP Office to be destroyed. All other classified documents are to be handled and destroyed by the relevant CCP offices at the provincial-, city- or country-level."

"In destroying these documents, one shall make sure there is no way to recover the original documents. Documents on paper shall be burned or shredded and turned into pulp. The paper shredders used should meet the requirements for shredding classified documents. Shredded documents shall be sent to designated places to be destroyed. Two or more people are required to be present and no one shall leave the scene before the documents are fully destroyed."

Why would the CCP destroy classified documents? It must be that these documents carry important information that the CCP does not want publicized. During the past seven years of their persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, all orders were issued via secret channels and the persecution was carried on behind the scenes. Now more and more witnesses have come forward to provide evidence and more and more people have come to see through the nature of the CCP and have begun to condemn its brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. All if this strikes fear into the CCP. The more the CCP is afraid of being exposed, the more we should hurry up to expose it. We will make public all the crimes committed by the CCP and all those who have participated in the persecution.

(Clearwisdom.net) I am a veteran soldier in the Shenyang military division. I was shocked after I heard about the atrocities of live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in the Sujiatun secret concentration camp in Shenyang. Here I would like to provide some information and hope that it is helpful in investigating the locations of other concentration camps

Mao Zedong once issued a "Supreme Directive": "Dig deeply and store grain to be ready in case of war or famine". Starting in April 1966, the field army almost turned out in full force and went deep into the mountains to dig caves. The projects were completed at the end of 1968.

The field army I belonged to was in charge of Jianchang County, Jianping County, Lingyuan County, Suizhong County and Chifeng City (which was run by Liaoning Province at that time) in Liaoning Province, Linxi in Wengniute Banner and Nanshan in Xilinhaote City of Inner Mongolia. The caves we dug into the mountains in the above areas were huge, almost hollowing out the mountains. It took two years to dig the caves.

Foot soldiers were in charge of digging the caves, those in the engineering corps were in charge of solidifying and equipping the caves, and the communication corps buried high-voltage cables and put up communication wires. I did not know which kind of soldiers were in charge of the final steps and what the caves looked like when they were completed.

At a reunion in 1969, one comrade disclosed, "The entrances to those caves were covered up. Automatic doors were made of reinforced steel bars and cement, and camouflaged so that it looked just like the side of the mountain. Unless you are right next to it, you cannot see that it is an entrance to a cave at all."

At that time, a deputy army corps commander told us: "It was planned to equip some of the caves with the most advanced military instruments, matching medical equipment, and supplies that would last 10 years. The smallest cave could accommodate a regiment."

We old veteran soldiers did not say a word about these things until now. Currently, the CCP is ruthlessly utilizing every means at its disposal to persecute Chinese people. I would like to disclose the information about these secret military bases to help the investigation into the concentration camps. It is my hope that those good people on the verge of death can be rescued.

In addition, some others also provided information about secret caves. Trains can directly enter the Shoushan Cave in Xingcheng City, Liaoing Province (the former No. 704 Mine). Another cave can be found in Ji'nan, though it is extremely well-disguised.

Recently, forced labor camps have received instructions to increase the force used to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners and destroy evidence of the persecution. The Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City removed all bulletin boards, cartoons, banners and other items defaming Falun Gong, but secretly, it strengthened the intensity of brainwashing and "transformation" efforts.

(Clearwisdom.net)

Since the secret concentration camps were exposed, I reflected on my own experience. I realized that practitioners riding on the same buses as me and held in various parts of Liaoning Province, were perhaps again transferred to concentration camps similar to Sujiatun and lost their lives to organ harvesting. Following are my experiences:

On December 30, 2000, I went to Tiananmen Square to validate Falun Dafa. Many Dafa practitioners were there, and shouts of "Falun Dafa is good" echoed in the air. It was magnificent! Many police cars surrounded the square. Every time a practitioner tried to clarify the truth to someone, uniformed and plainclothes police would fanatically jump on the practitioner and beat and arrest him. The memory is still vivid in my mind.

I was arrested and taken to the Tiananmen Square Police Department and then to the Xicheng District Detention Center. About six practitioners were detained in each cell. The inmates said that for the preceding few days, many practitioners were brought in and later taken away. Numerous practitioners were holding hunger strikes. We all clarified the truth to the guards and inmates. The head inmate of the cell where I was detained came from northeast China like me. After groups of Dafa practitioners arrived, he not only learned the truth but also asked me to teach him the exercises. He competed with me to see who could cross their legs the longest. All practitioners refused to tell their name and address, so the inmates called us "Falun." The guards issued each practitioner a number and called us by our numbers. I was given No. 95. The guards saw that intimidation and coaxing didn't work. Groups of officials from local liaison offices in Beijing arrived frequently to identify Dafa practitioners. It was obvious the CCP regime had a guilty conscience.

Around 3:00 a.m. on December 31, I heard the guard calling my number. I was told to pack up and leave. I was body-searched for a long time in the hallway. The guard announced that Falun Gong practitioners whose numbers were called would be transferred. We were told to immediately get into police vehicles outside, but they didn't tell us the destination. After they body-searched me I went out to the courtyard and saw nearly 20 police cars and large buses. Many practitioners were forced into them. I got on one bus and saw about seven civil police and armed police, and also nearly 30 Dafa practitioners. It was getting brighter outside. A long row of buses drove in the streets. Police cars led the buses making the middle of the caravan, and police cars brought up the rear.

I heard the police say that practitioners held in several detention centers were being transferred together. The detention centers were overloaded with Falun Gong practitioners going to Beijing. They predicted that more Falun Gong practitioners would go to Beijing during New Year's holiday and said there were about 60 buses this time.

We didn't eat or drink. After a whole day of driving we arrived at the border between Liaoning Province and Hebei Province. Lots of police cars, police officers and guards were waiting for us. We later learned that guards from different detention centers in Liaoning Province were waiting to take some Falun Gong practitioners. More than 20 practitioners including me were put in another bus; local police drove us to Fuxin City. We arrived at the Fuxin City Detention Center around 9:00 p.m. Two practitioners were held in each cell.

In the subsequent week, my cellmate and I were forced to spend 700 Yuan on expensive inmate uniforms and other things, which the head inmate stole from us. In order to destroy our will, the head inmate beat, tortured and abused us. He forced us to knit for 12 hours a day. The persecution would escalate if we refused to tell our names and address. Many practitioners continued with a hunger strike and demanded release, but each day practitioners were force-fed and beaten. A female practitioner from Fuxin City had been on a hunger strike for about a month. The guards tied her hands and feet with a rope so she could only squat and inch forward, yet her righteous thoughts were strong and she recited the Fa in a loud voice and shouted things. It was very moving. She demonstrated the rock-solid determination of Dafa practitioners.

Due to human notions and heavy fear, the fellow practitioner and I eventually told our names and addresses. One week later, police from our hometown took us back. We were previously always called by our numbers, which substituted for our names.

About one week after I returned to my local area, another practitioner from my area who was held at the Fuxin City Detention Center also returned. He said he was released after 11 days of being on a hunger strike and after he told his name. On the day when he was released and got home, the detention center received orders, effective immediately, stating Dafa that practitioners who told their names would not be sent back to their local city but instead to new places, as a new form of persecution would begin.

Let us thoroughly investigate the inhuman persecution of the CCP against Dafa practitioners in the past few years. Write the details down so the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) can use them as a reference and completely disintegrate the evil and bring an end to this persecution.

I hope all practitioners can pick up their pen and write down everything they have witnessed.

On the morning of May 16, Korean parliament member Park Jae Wan spoke to the media regarding organ harvesting in China.

(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of May 16, a press conference was held in the Korean Parliament regarding the recently exposed atrocities of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Reporters from a number of media outlets attended the conference, and parliament member Park Jae Wan gave a speech regarding the atrocities. He said: "We must immediately start to investigate organ harvesting in Chinese labor camps and organ trafficking in Korea."

He also called upon the Korean Government to raise the organ harvesting issue to the UN Human Rights Commission.

Park said: "The international community should investigate the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners detained in labor camps and concentration camps. To clarify the confusion fabricated by the regime, international organizations and media should investigate all of the 36 concentration camps pinpointed by oversea media. In the meantime, they should also investigate Chinese organ transplant teams.

He said: "In March 2006, media in the United States, United Kingdom and France reported that the Chinese Communist regime removed livers and kidneys from detainees without anesthesia and then cremated the remains. On March 31, AFP, one of the five largest media, reported that an underground concentration camp in Sujiatun had detained more than 6000 people and 75% of them had had their organs removed and were then killed and cremated."

Park mentioned that he had contacted the Epoch Times, which first exposed the organ harvesting. He talked with Peter (also known as Jinzhou), one of the two witnesses who revealed the Sujiatun atrocities, by phone. He said that Peter was threatened by the Chinese Communist regime after he later exposed the crimes in Sujiatun, and that his testimony was very shocking.

In his testimony, Peter said that, "Going to China for organ transplants is equivalent to helping the Chinese Communist regime in killing. Such deeds violate morality and are very dangerous." He hopes that Korea patients can judge the situation wisely.

Park also requested the Korean government to close 14 websites in Korea which seduce Koreans to go to China for organ transplants. In addition, he requested the government to conduct an official investigation of the atrocities. He stressed that the Korean government should perform a meaningful investigation and raise requests to the Chinese regime to prevent such human rights atrocities from happening again.

In the end, Park said: "During World War II, the international community and media didn't pay enough attention to testimonies of Jewish survivors of Nazi concentration camps. Consequently, several million Jews lost their lives and we should remember this lesson for good." Concluding his speech, Park made an emotional plea to the media and international community to pay close attention to this important issue.

(Clearwisdom.net) From May 18 to 21, 2006, Taiwan Association for Rescuing Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners held a four-day series of activities in front of the Department of Culture in Douliou City, Yunlin County. Activities included a press conference titled, "Protect Basic Human Rights; Stop the CCP's Harvesting Organs from Living Falun Gong Practitioners," a candlelight vigil, an art exhibit, and more. Councilor Liu Jian-Kuo and the chief of Department of Culture, Liu Chuan-Chi came to the activities to show their support. Viewing the displays and the "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance Art Exhibition," many citizens in Yunlin County learned the truth about the persecution and signed their names to support the anti-persecution activities.

Typhoon "Chanchu" (Pearl) attacked Yunlin on May 18, when the press conference was held. Despite it, Councilor Liu Jian-Kuo still came to the conference. He said that he will propose a resolution with other councilors to remind citizens in Yunlin not to accept illegal organ transplants in China. The chief of Department of Culture, Liu Chuan-Chi, also supported Falun Gong practitioners. He generously lent the space in the department building to practitioners. He also opened the exhibition hall for the "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance Art Exhibition" to avoid damage from the typhoon.

Re-enactment of organ harvesting crimes

On May 20 and 21, practitioners re-enacted the CCP's organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners. To make the display look more real, practitioners made a model crematorium. Many audience members cried, and condemned the CCP for being so cruel. Some mothers signed the names to support practitioners and asked their children to sign. A citizen from Dounan City was very interested in learning Falun Gong, and asked where he can find an exercise site.

In the evening of May 20, more than 100 practitioners held a candlelight vigil in front of Department of Culture in Douliou City. The "Tianyin Chorus" performed. The principal of Kouhu High School, Wu Yan-men recited poems to mourn for practitioners who died in the persecution. The councilor candidate from the 3^rd district of Douliou City, Lin Pei-jun came to the candlelight vigil. Before the end, practitioners showed video "The Journey of Falun Dafa." Practitioners hope that people will be aware of the persecution in China and stand together to stop the CCP's harvesting organs.

(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioners in Klang City, Malaysia went to the morning market in the local Chinatown on May 7 and 21, 2006, to hold activities to rescue practitioners held in forced labor camps in China. They passed out handouts to expose the atrocities committed in CCP forced labor camps, stealing and selling practitioners' organs. They also collected signatures.

Local people learn the facts

When distributing materials for the first time, practitioners ran into some Chinese people who came to work in Malaysia. They were so surprised to see Malaysian practitioners collecting signatures in the morning market for those practitioners who are suffering persecution in China. They asked practitioners for lots of truth revealing materials, including Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, because it's hard to find those materials in China, and they wanted to share with their friends.

These Chinese people were so happy to come across practitioners on their second trip to the village. After reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, one of them wanted to read Zhuan Falun. They actually had no idea what Falun Gong is, and had not had any chance to read books about Falun Gong, and they did not even understand why the CCP persecutes Falun Gong. But this time he wanted to read the book himself to understand Falun Gong.

Another Chinese person also asked for Falun Dafa books after reading the Nine Commentaries, and information about local practice sites. He told practitioners that he could not understand at all why the CCP wants to persecute Falun Gong. People in China are even forbidden to bring up the words "Falun Gong." He totally opposes the CCP's dirty tricks and brutal persecution of Falun Gong. He has a friend who was sentenced to two years in forced labor camp only because he practiced Falun Gong. At the time of being released, he, who used to be a healthy person, was tortured to become mentally traumatized.

Seeing the words "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" on practitioners' T-shirts, he stated emotionally that, the whole Chinese society is being filled up with fake stuff. If Chinese people could follow "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" on a broad scale, China would become better than it is right now.

(Clearwisdom.net)The "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" Art Exhibition by Falun Gong artists ends on Friday at the Friedensburg Castle of Peace. The Arts and Culture Association "Ars Cara" organized an exhibition of twenty-nine oil and watercolor pictures, as well as photographs.

All of the artists are practitioners of the spiritual practice of Falun Gong, which was banned in China, its country of origin, in 1999. The guiding principles of Falun Gong are "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," in direct opposition to the principles espoused by the Communist Party, which are based on control, force and violence.

Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese head of state, banned the practice at a time when those practicing Falun Gong had exceeded the number of members of the Communist Party by quite a large number. Some of the artists in the exhibition were also victims of torture, suppression and incarceration in Chinese slave labor camps.

This exhibition originated in the USA and Canada and has now come to Europe. The intent of this exhibition is to expose human rights violations that have not been widely talked about around the world. At the same time, the exhibition shows the beauty of Falun Gong cultivation, the return to truth and pure goodness. This is what Falun Gong members strive for and see as their reason for living.

The unique pictures have already been shown in America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, as well in some European countries. There is no exhibition that this author can remember that has generated such emotion. While viewing the pictures, one is torn between fascination, sadness and hope.

Mayor Alfred Rohr introduced the exhibition on Monday evening and said, "Schlaining, with its Friedensburg Castle of Peace is the ideal place for this exhibition." Parliamentary delegate Dorsi Prohaska spoke at the grand opening and Volker Dietz from the organizing committee for the international exhibitions spoke about the individual works of art.

The exhibition at Castle Schlaining will end on Friday and is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

In the afternoon of May 17, Falun Gong practitioners in Bodo attended their city's celebration activities. They gave performances in Bodo's International Centre, including waist-drumming, Falun Gong exercise demonstrations, dancing, Chinese violin performances, and singing. The audience enjoyed the practitioners' performances.

At 4:00 pm, the grand parade began. Although the population of Bodo is less than fifty thousand, both sides of the street were full of people watching the parade. The Falun Gong practitioners were at the front, starting with two woman practitioners dressed in beautiful Tang Dynasty attire, giving out paper-made lotus flowers. They were followed by waist-drummers. When the Falun Gong practitioners passed, they were warmly received by the audience, who cheered and applauded.

Practitioner Mr. Xia Anjun was born in 1963 and used to be a staff member at the Beijing Forestry University. During the time that he was illegally detained for practicing Falun Gong, the persecutors sent messages to his family members, claiming that Mr. Xia had run away during a recess on April 18, 2001. However, Mr. Xia did not return home and his family members still do not know whether he is still alive.

Practitioner Mr. Wang Wei was illegally held for three months in the Kuerle City Detention Center, beginning at the end of 2000, after the authorities at the Kuerle City Train Station in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region conducted a search and found that he was carrying Falun Dafa books. For three days and three nights, seven police officers from Shihezi City continuously tortured Mr. Wang. The inmates from the same room said that every day, they could see signs of beating on Wang Wei when he returned to the room. In February 2001, Mr. Wang was taken away by police and his whereabouts have since been unclear.

Practitioner Ms. Liu Chunxia is in her twenties and lived in the Wafangdian District of Dalian City. She had an assumed name, Li Zhihui. On April 20, 2002, Ms. Liu and an older practitioner, Ms. Xu Menglan, were both arrested by police in the Fengtai District of Beijing City. Since then, her whereabouts have been unknown.

Practitioner Ms. Xu Menglan is in her fifties. She was arrested along with Ms. Liu Chunxia in the Fengtai District of Beijing City in 2002, but was released and returned to Dalian City. Recently, Ms. Xu suddenly disappeared in Dalian City. For the past several months, those who had been in contact with her have all been unable to contact her, including her husband and son.

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Gao Yumei was a 73-year-old Dafa practitioner from Qishui Town, Qishui County, Shandong Province. In order to avoid long-term harassment, having her home ransacked, and arrest, she was forced to become homeless. She passed away on February 20, 2006.

Gao Yumei used to have very severe diabetes and could not take care of herself. After she began the practice of Falun Gong in 1996, her diabetes disappeared and she became a healthy person. She often went to rural areas to promote Dafa using her own experience.

After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Gao Yumei clarified the truth to people. She went to Beijing several times to appeal for Dafa. As a result, her home was ransacked, and she was arrested and fined many times. She was forced to leave home several times. In February 2000, along with two dozen fellow practitioners, she was arrested and sent to Qishui Town police station. The chief persecutors there were Li Hongwei, Qishui Town Comprehensive Administration Office Director, and He Fajiang, Qishui Town Political and Legal Committee Secretary.

In October 2000, 23 practitioners, including Gao Yumei were illegally detained in Gezhuang Middle School and forced to undergo brainwashing. Gao Yumei was brutally beaten by Li Hongwei and could not eat anything afterwards. She became extremely weak. Li Hongwei and his accomplices did not want to take any responsibility so they released her. However, about 10 days later she was sent back to the brainwashing class to be tortured some more. The thugs each held a tree branch in their hands and whipped practitioners hard with them. No one knows how many tree branches were broken during the beatings. The thugs also forced practitioners to run laps or do other types of strenuous exercises every day. Each time they would beat the last two practitioners who fell behind with tree branches. Practitioners Liu Minghai and Tian Fukui intentionally fell behind every time to protect other practitioners. The two of them were beaten numerous times by Ruan Bo and Song Dewang.

Later, Gao Yumei's house was demolished by the authorities and the local street committee did not give her any shelter. She had to live with her son. However, they still frequently went to her son's home to harass the whole family. She then moved to her cousin's home but her cousin's family was harassed as well. Even their neighbors were harassed.

In order not to bring trouble to her family, Gao Yumei began her long-term homeless life in 2002. She often did not have enough to eat or a good place to live. Her body was severely damaged. Pus and blood came out of her body. In the end she could not even walk or take in anything. On February 20, 2006, she passed away. She never wavered in her belief in Dafa.

(Clearwisdom.net) According to inside sources, around May 15, 2006, Falun Dafa practitioner Yang Jianpo was unlawfully detained in Baoding City Prison. Responsible are agents from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Guangyang District and from the 610 Office in Langfang City. Further details are unknown.

Police from the National Security Division of the Guangyang District Police Department, illegally arrested Yang Jianpo on February 5, 2006. He has been on hunger strike since that time to protest the persecution and has become extremely weak. The vicious police said that Yang Jianpo was too weak to even be force-fed and was at his last gasp.

Yang Jianpo's family members telephoned Guangyang District office head Liu, (Cell phone No. 86-13503162571) to enquire of Yang Jianpo's whereabouts. Liu told them rudely, "He has been sent to where he should go," and intimidated them by saying, "Behave yourself and do not run around here and there [trying to find Yang Jianpo]. I mean it. You'd better be careful!"

Yang Jianpo has been on a hunger strike for over three months to protest the illegal detention, and his life is currently in great danger. The 610 Office officials in Langfang City refuse to release him, saying that they cannot release him without the approval from the provincial or central government.

To cover up their illegal persecution, the 610 Office persecutors in Langfang City have transferred Yang Jianpo from one place to another, denying any family visits and refusing to tell his family his whereabouts. We appeal to international human rights organizations, to the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong and people who uphold justice to pay close attention to Yang Jianpo's plight.

Yang Jianpo has suffered from repeated persecution over the last few years. On March 30, 2003, he was unlawfully arrested and detained in Section 1 of the Fengrun Police Department in Tangshan City. Policeman Gao Wei and the Section Head chained him to a metal chair and repeatedly shocked him with a direct-current, 110-volt hand crank phone. He was deprived of sleep 24 hours a day. Even today, Mr. Yang still suffers symptoms such as tightness in the chest, gasping for air, dizziness and occasional convulsions. On February 20, 2004, Yang Jianpo was again arrested by police from the Guangyang Police Department in Langfang City. They sent him to the Kaiping Labor Camp in Tangshan City on February 25 for further persecution. Yang's body weight dropped sharply, from over 90 kilos (approximately 190 lbs) to less than 50 kilos (approximately 110 lbs) as a result of the persecution. At the time of his release on June 8, 2004, he only weighed about 40 kilos (approximately 85 lbs). Yang Jianpo, Cao Baoyu and a few other practitioners were arrested again during the 2006 Spring Festival while they were clarifying the truth to regime officials. After they were abused until they were close to death, personnel from the Guangyang District 610 Office transferred the practitioners to Guangyang District People's Hospital for further persecution.

Practitioner Mr. Cao Baoyu died the evening of April 27. Practitioner Mr. Yang Jianpo's life is currently in danger.

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Yingzhu, incarcerated at the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou City, has been forbidden to have family visitations because she told of her persecution experiences at the camp during a family visit.

Ms. Yu Yingzhu, 32 years old, used to be held at a detention center and detained at a mental hospital because she firmly believed in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. She has served a three-year term at the Baimalong Labor Camp already. She was tortured and lost consciousness twice. The camp released her ten days after she completed her three-year term. On June 8, 2004 the police broke into her home, arrested her and incarcerated her at Baimalong again. Ms. Yu Yingzhu was locked in small cell for eight days, forced to stand, and not permitted to sleep or eat. These tortures made her weak, dizzy and develop whole body edema, from which she still suffers symptoms.

On May 1, 2006, Yu's mother went to the camp to visit her. Yu Yingzhu told her mother that the camp authorities had incited several drug addicts to push her to the floor and forced her to sign a Repentance Statement. A guard nearby interrupted the women's conversation. The guard took her away, thus terminating the visit.

On May 3 a family member attempted to visit Ms. Yu, but was refused by the camp after the family pleaded with the camp officials for the whole morning. During the negotiations, Yu's mother listed all the incidents of persecution that happened to her daughter, such as standing in a small cell for eight days and nights, resulting in body edema with more severe symptoms in the hands and feet; withholding her clothes for no reason so that Ms. Yu could only wear a thin shirt in the winter. However, the No. 7 Brigade chief who was personally involved in the persecution of practitioners denied any wrong-doing.

During the discussion, police officer Liu, ID 4329075, told Ms. Yu's family in a malicious tone, "Hey, no one died yet!" and another one, ID 4329150 shouted "Don't come if you do not cooperate with us!" The police officer on duty with ID 4329175 attempted to deceive the family by saying, "We don't do Falun Gong "transformation" anymore." When the family asked for the immediate release of Ms. Yu, he responded with a vicious laugh. Wu Hongyi, production division head, responded to accusations of persecution of the Falun Gong practitioners at the camp by saying, "There is no such thing. No one dies at our camp!"

The Zhuzhou City's Baimalong Forced Labor Camp is one of the camps where Dafa practitioners are severely persecuted. It was not long ago that a letter was sent to United Nations human rights commission signed by over a thousand family members of illegally detained practitioners at the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp to appeal for an investigation into that camp's extremely cruel crimes.

(Clearwisdom.net) After his arrest on September 23, 2005, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Li Yequan from Daqing City went on hunger strike that has lasted more than seven months. There are many reports on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website about the persecution of Mr. Li Yequan. According to insiders, during the time he was held at the Daqing Forced Labor Camp, doctor Jiang Shijun and some inmates stepped on his shoulders and brutally force-fed him for more than four hours. The skin on his shoulders became abraded during the process. Later, he was transferred to the Suihua Forced Labor Camp. Doctor Jiang Shijun was awarded several thousand yuan because Mr. Li didn't die at the Daqing Labor Camp.

After Mr. Li was transferred to the Suihua Forced Labor Camp, his family went to visit him. Because his family understood and supported him, the labor camp officials refused to let them meet with him. According to insiders, Mr. Li has been holding a hunger strike at the Suihua Labor Camp.

(Clearwisdom.net) In the afternoon on March 28, 2006, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Sun Hongchang from Qingyuan County, Fushun City, was working in a building when officers from Division 1 of the Fushun City Police Department and from Qingyuan County illegally arrested and took him to the Tianqiao Police Department. In the evening, officers from Division 1 of the Fushun City Police Department savagely tortured Mr. Sun and continued for three days. Many people living close to the police department heard his screams the whole time.

The guards at Division 1 forced Mr. Sun to spread his legs wide apart. They hammered bamboo sticks into his fingers and employed other methods they usually use to torture practitioners. When Mr. Sun was on the brink of death they sent him to the Dashagou Detention Center in Qingyuan County. The detention center authorities saw that he was disabled and could die at any time, so they refused to accept him. These Division 1 agents bribed the detention center officials, treating them to restaurant meals, and also pressured them. The center officials eventually accepted Mr. Sun.

On May 9, officials from the Qingyuan Detention Center phoned Sun Hongchang's family and told them to bring 1,000 yuan for his medical treatment. It was heard that the county hospital could not help him. The family learned that he was on the brink of death, so they went to the Tianqiao Police Department and asked for him. Wang Xingchuan, head of the National Security Division, not only refused to release Mr. Sun but also said that no one would be held responsible if a Falun Gong practitioner was beaten to death. He said, "It would be a lot better if we just beat Sun Hongchang to death."

After July 20, 1999, Mr. Sun and his three family members left home to avoid persecution and lived in exile. His wife, Wang Xiuxia, 47 years old, was persecuted several times. On May 29, 2003, officers from Division 1 and from the local police department arrested and tortured her. She died from torture 16 days later. Their younger son, Sun Feng, was only about eight years of age. He missed his mother and didn't have any money. He fell ill and died in 2005. Mr. Sun's older son is a university student.

Mr. Sun Hongfeng's life is now in danger.

(Clearwisdom.net) The means employed to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners in the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp are both brutal and despicable, especially in the No. 1 Division. Heizuizi is located in Changchun, in China's northeast.

To achieve the target "transformation" rate and thereby earn themselves bonuses, the guards in the No. 1 Division put their full efforts into persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. A guard from the No. 3 group, Wang Lei (female), forced practitioners to write "transformation" statements. If a practitioner refused, Wang Lei would shock the practitioner with an electric baton. It was quite common to hear the sizzling sound of electric batons or to smell burnt flesh. This began five years ago, in 2001.

Su Guiying (female), a guard in the No. 1 group, applied even more despicable means to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. She forced the practitioners to take off their clothes, handcuffed their hands and poured a bucket of water over their bodies (to increase electrical conductivity). She then shocked them with an electric baton.

What is worse is that Su Guiying used an electric baton to shock the vaginal area and the vaginal tract of practitioners. Those who were tortured this way could not walk normally for a long period of time after.

Run Lifeng (male), the chief of the No. 1 Division, used an electric baton to torture practitioners, frequently causing them to lose control of urination and defecation.

Guard Ye Jiong (male) was specifically violent towards Falun Dafa practitioners. Guards Li Ying (female), Su Guiying (female), Chen Ping (female) and others hold practitioners' heads underwater in a large water storage tank until they are close to drowning. After the practitioners wake up for a little while, they resume the torture.

All of the guards in the No. 1 Division changed their despicable means in order to achieve their goals. When some guards who still have consciences refused to collude with them, they use despicable means such as writing reports on these guards, accusing them of supporting Falun Dafa, and finally pushing these guards to be transferred away.

(Clearwisdom.net) Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).

Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Luo Laisong, Ms. Zhang Xinqi and Ms. Wang Xiaofan from Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province are being held at the Futian District Detention Center.

On April 5, 2006, police officers from the Shatou Station of Futian District arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Luo Laisong. They ransacked his house and confiscated his computer and printer among other things. Practitioners Ms. Zhang Xinqi and Ms. Wang Xiaofan were arrested on the same day.

Mr. Luo Laisong, who is in his 30's, is a college graduate who majored in computer science. He had previously been arrested and detained for practicing Falun Dafa. His wife works in Shenzhen and their child is only five years old.

Ms. Zhang Xinqi, a college graduate with an Associate degree, is a new practitioner. She started practicing Falun Dafa only a year ago.

Ms. Wang Xiaofan works in the accounting area. She was arrested and detained six times, and was once held in Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. She has endured tremendous hardships. This is the seventh time that she has been arrested.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhou Jiangang was in peril due to torture at the Qinduankou Prison. At 3:00 p.m. on April 25, 2006, he was sent to Wuhan City's Emergency Room for medical treatment. His present situation is unknown.

According to reliable sources, a practitioner held at the No.4 Division of the Qinduankou Prison in Hubei Province was tortured to death on April 25, 2006.

On April 25, 2006, policeman Guan Qingyou, the Wangqing County National Security Division chief, and 20 more officers from the Wangqing Town Police Department broke into practitioner Ms. Wu Yingzi's home and arrested six practitioners. They also ransacked her home. She and practitioner Ms. Xu Jinshu are presently being held at the county's Zhong'an Detention Center.

Wardens of the No.8 Brigade in the Dalian City Forced Labor Camp tortured "unlawfully detained" practitioners in a small compartment. When their supervisors come to inspect the prison they close the small compartment but reopen it afterwards.

In early September 2005, practitioner Mr. Gu Shuchun was tortured in the small compartment. During the daytime, wardens handcuffed him to two separated beds, with his arms extended in opposite directions. He was forced to sit on a low stool and could not make any movement. During the night, wardens handcuffed him to the two sides of his bed so that he could not turn over. The handcuffs cut into his flesh and caused excruciating pain. He suffered various tortures until another practitioner was put into the small compartment.

In the middle of October 2005, practitioners Mr. Yang Liguo and Mr. Han Qu were put into the small compartment. They suffered from the same torture as practitioner Gu Shuchun. Additionally, they were force-fed every day. The rubber tubes used for force-feeding were always left in, and the two practitioners consequently had difficulties breathing. They are still being tortured.

Virtually every newly arrested practitioner has been tortured in the small compartment. Policeman Han Wei is the person chiefly responsible for this torture.

In February 2005, practitioner Mr. Liu Jilian was arrested for the second time and sentenced to two years of forced labor there. His health has deteriorated because of torture. He has diseases in different organs. He had a stroke, urinates frequently and has difficulty walking from severely swollen feet. Even though he is struggling to live, he is still being unlawfully held.

We have recently heard that practitioner Mr. Zhao Chenglin, who is in Wafangdian City's Prison, went on a hunger strike. Because the prison has blocked all information about practitioners, this is the only message smuggled out.

At 9:00 a.m. on April 30, 2006, practitioner Ms. Liu Hongying and her 13-year-old daughter from Xifan Village, Longrao County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, took the bus from Longrao County to Julu County. She clarified the truth to other passengers and distributed flyers on the bus, but someone reported her to the police. When the bus arrived at Julu County Station, policemen waiting there arrested them and took them to the county's police station. Ms. Liu is presently being held at Xingtai City's Brainwashing Center.

Practitioner Ms. Wu Yan was born in January 1975 in Huangchuan County, Henan Province. She started to practice Falun Gong in 1997. Ms. Wu was nabbed many times for clarifying the truth of Falun Gong. She has been illegally sentenced to one and a half years of imprisonment.

During the afternoon of November 22, 2005, police arrested her again, this time at the Renmin University of China campus. They put her into the Haidian District's Qinghe Detention Center in Beijing for three months. Because she refused to tell police her name and address, they brutally beat her. On February 23, 2006 she was transferred to the Beijing Detention Center in the Chaoyang District. In mid-May, police submitted her case to the Haidian District Prosecutor's Department for sentencing.

The cases of practitioners Mr. Lu Wenxue and Mr. Wang Hongchang held at Yuzhou City's Detention Center have been transferred to the city's Prosecutor's Department, officers of which will cite the two practitioners. The practitioners' family members have clarified the truth and requested their release many times.

(Clearwisdom.net) A "solemn declaration" is a person's public statement declaring to the world that whatever he or she has done or said under duress or deception that was against Falun Dafa is null and void. Most of these statements have come from Falun Dafa practitioners in China who wished to express regret that, in the face of physical torture and brainwashing, they had signed documents renouncing Dafa and guaranteeing not to practice again. Also, as more and more people in China learn the truth about how they have been deceived and lied to by the Jiang regime, many non-practitioners are also submitting "solemn declarations."

Here are some examples of the Solemn Declarations:

• Dafa Practitioners' Solemn Statements [5/3/2006]
• Solemn Declarations By People Who Have Awakened to the Truth about Falun Gong [4/23/2006]
• Solemn Declarations by Young Dafa Practitioners [5/3/2006]

Please click here for more Solemn Declarations.

(Clearwisdom.net) Facing the crazy persecution, I think that we need to understand or enlighten to it from the angle of seriousness in cultivation.

According to one article I recently read, a Dafa disciple who tapped into cable TV in China to play a Dafa truth-clarification program truly put down the matter of his own life and death openly and nobly. But there was one instance where he thought about asking as relative to take care of his child, and prepared for not being able to come back. This single thought acknowledged the persecution by the evil old forces, and as a result, such a good disciple was tortured to death.

There is another disciple that I know and his cultivation state is pure and firm. Only when he had karma tribulation did he have a wrong thought. He wrote a letter to other practitioners: If I have any unforeseen incident, it is my own problem that I didn't cultivate well. I hope that everyone won't be affected by such cases and it should not shake our righteous belief in Falun Dafa. Just for this one thought, his life was taken away by the old forces.

Master asked us to deny the old forces. How do we deny them? If we truly give up all the profits and losses and gains completely in the human world, including our own life and death, we are already gods with boundless brilliance. The old forces will disappear entirely in front of us. Facing true cultivators, the old forces don't qualify even as something to be denied by us since they are actually nothing at all. Thus, how can the old forces persecute us?

I saw a report on the web. There was a meeting in a labor camp to defame Falun Dafa and our Master. One disciple was full of righteous feelings and denounced the rumors. At that moment, the air surrounding the whole meeting place seemed to freeze. All the good gods in other dimensions must have been preparing eagerly for a fight against evil. If everyone at that meeting had stood up to support the disciple, it would have formed a strong righteous energy field that can rectify the universe. But there wasn't a second person to stand up until the end of the meeting. The first to stand up was beaten to barely having any breath and was dragged away. What would the old forces say to our Master in the other dimensions? Indeed, our Master could say nothing.

Our fellow practitioners suffer difficulties that ordinary people basically can't tolerate at all. As fellow disciples, even if we have a little human notion attached, we might feel sad, angry and want to get revenge against evil people. We would then fall into a trap where the thinking is one of one human being persecuting another. This might bring difficulties to fellow practitioners. To ordinary people, all the warm feelings coming from relatives, family and daily life turn into jail, torture and death. This is something that ordinary people can't accept at all. But as cultivators, Master says:

"In other words, this life of yours is now the life of a cultivator. Nothing is by chance anymore, and nothing will happen just by chance. Everything on your life's journey is directly related to your improvement and cultivation." (Teaching the Fa in the city of Los Angeles questions and answers)

Because we have accumulated huge amounts of karma throughout our many incarnations and yet we want to cultivate to fruition in a very short period of time, the old forces hence say that they create difficulties for us to help us eliminate our karma and reach consummation. Our Master doesn't agree with the old forces' arrangements and has also arranged a cultivation path for each of us. But what Master has arranged are the paths for moving towards Godhood. It can't mix with any trace of human attachment. If you have any kind of human notions, you will unconsciously follow the old forces' arrangements.

Master won't be happy if we enjoy happiness in the ordinary world and won't be sad if we suffer. What Master really wants is to save our true lives. The horrifying persecution that Dafa disciples encounter is absolutely unacceptable if one looks at it with slight human notion. What Dafa disciples lose is what others seek to gain. But cultivators treat hardships in a completely different way. What do we want to gain? We want to obtain our highest level and reach consummation. No matter how immense the hardship is, it just can't compare with what we will gain in the end. Of course, the hardship is forced onto us by the old forces. Master doesn't acknowledge it and we don't acknowledge it either. We can't view it from the standpoint of ordinary people's notions of suffering and happiness. When we realize all this, we won't be touched. As a whole body, we can send out immensely strong righteous thoughts to deny it.

Master says:

"When we really do have someone who leaves early, as long as he was a Dafa disciple who was doing all of the three things, he will definitely achieve Consummation. It's only that his level will be different. (Teaching the Fa in the city of Los Angeles questions and answers)

Every time I read this, my eyes fill with tears. Has there ever existed such enormous and powerful grace? Master often publishes new articles and mercifully protects us during our cultivation. Even like this, we still make mistakes and Master will not give up on us. If we still can't get rid of our human notions and qing to look at what is happening now, and hinder our enlightened side's validation of the Fa, the old forces can use them to interfere and destroy endlessly. Then we couldn't face our Master or even ourselves.

My understanding is that the recent exposure of CCP atrocities is a warning to us. It is time for us to find out the shortcomings in our cultivation, remove the last human notions, and completely deny the old evil forces. It is time for us to walk the final steps towards consummation. Please kindly point out any inappropriate understandings.

(Clearwisdom.net) I am a practitioner in the field of practical art design. I have suffered many tribulations on a detour arranged by the old forces because I did not study the Fa well. I have reflected deeply on my past actions because I want to return to the right path of validating the Fa that Teacher granted me. I have written my experience to share with you. Let's encourage each other. If you find any shortcomings, please correct them with compassion.

Before I learned the Fa, I treasured the ideas of individuality and advancement in the artistic styles of modern society. I steadily pursued and developed things of demon-nature to glorify myself and my own individuality. I liked having long hair and wearing black clothes in the hippie style. I liked looking down on the world, being slovenly, caring only for myself, viewing everything vulgarly, pursuing a different path, being indifferent to other people, and feeling satisfied with myself. I viewed my art work as unique from others and I was proud of it.

After practicing Falun Dafa, I found that the individuality I was so proud of and had pursued at all costs was actually far from the characteristic of the universe: "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." Everything I treasured became a big obstacle in doing Fa-rectification cultivation. The degenerated notions in this kind of modern art make me feel deeply the arduous difficulties of cultivation. Since I have these kinds of degenerated notions and thought karma, images like ghost shapes often appear in my mind. They have used this method to scare and interfere with me. They even swear at me, Teacher, and Falun Dafa. It is extremely painful to me. What I can do is resist and eliminate them.

During my recent years of cultivation, I have gradually realized through Fa study that it is crucial to validate the Fa through my life and work. Which cultivation characteristic and/or requirement is ours? How to cultivate myself well and validate the Fa in practical work is the path of Fa-rectification cultivation that I want to take as an artist. My state of cultivation will directly manifest in the art works and merchandise that I design. It will also have an influence on developments in the art industry. Not only do I have to be responsible for sentient beings in my corresponding universe but also for all righteous elements in the art industry. All of the techniques, skills, materials, and ideas I use in my work must be assimilated into and corrected by the Fa. This is what I should do and must do in the process of guarding the Fa.

Some people lock themselves in their work rooms for long periods of time to create art work and rarely have contact with the outside world. They have developed this habit. However, this way of working is disadvantageous for clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings during Fa rectification today. If you are overly attached to it, you might possibly leave a loophole for the old forces to take advantage of and strengthen the attachment. This is disadvantageous to saving sentient beings and would prevent a practitioner from communicating and sharing with other practitioners. That would affect validating the Fa and upgrading your levels.

A practitioner doing art design work worries that a product design that doesn't meet "modern-day people's tastes" will not be welcomed. It would then be ineffective. But I think that a product designed with a pure mind not only conforms to the requirements of the Fa, but also assimilates into the Fa. The product itself is a new "being," which is good and righteous. How can it not be welcomed? Whoever buys it would benefit from it. For example, overseas practitioners organized art exhibitions to expose the persecution. Each of the paintings in the exhibition was created by a practitioner, carries gong, and was created for validating the Fa. The power in the paintings can inspire people's benevolent thoughts and eliminate any negative influences when they look at them. That, by itself, has mighty power to save sentient beings.

A few years ago, I designed a work of art in a plain, natural style. It has now been imitated and used as a reference for many manufacturers. Before I practiced cultivation I was afraid that others would copy my design work. I was thinking all the time about how to prevent my ideas from being copied and how to emphasize their "pattern rights" (patent). In fact, the thought of making profits got me into trouble. Now, on the contrary, I hope my designs bring other people happiness and serve as a model for others. Just as another practitioner said, "How wonderful if they imitate our art works. It is beneficial for them to learn good righteous things. If all products sold on the streets are all good things, then it will be very good for mankind?" On the contrary, if all things sold on the streets are ugly, horrible, frightening, dirty goods and products, how fearful is it? Just like toy feces and ugly evil ghost masks, they are harmful to people. In particular, pornographic paintings and photos are deeply poisoning the youth of the next generation.

The nature of our jobs as designers and artists puts us at the front of the fashion industry. Our art works and products directly affect the trends of the artistic community and human life. They have inestimable influence on mankind's aesthetic orientation and concepts of value. The behavior of a practitioner has a profound significance, no matter from which angle you look at it. Our walking a righteous path has great benefits for all sentient beings. Please correct my shortcomings. Thank you.

I would like to share my understandings about young practitioners' cultivation.

Before doing anything, we should judge it based on the Fa and then it will go smoothly. Before October 1, my school requires every class to work out a blackboard newspaper, and my class picked me to do it. When I discovered that the content was full of the evil party's propaganda, I declined the job.

When we Dafa practitioners are doing anything, we should always determine if it is consistent with the standard of the Fa.

During the high school entrance exams, I had a strong attachment to fame and competing with other students for higher grades. When I saw someone else's grade was better than mine, I would unwittingly feel angry. That is an improper state for a Dafa practitioner and it made my xinxing drop.

In fact, like adult practitioners, studying is simply our job in society, and it is right to do our job well. However, competing with others in our workplace for fame is not what a practitioner should do and will make people think about Dafa in negative ways. Our grades cannot be bad if we do everything according to the Fa.

Even people with wisdom in everyday society are not interested in pursuing fame, let alone our Dafa disciples. Teacher told us,

"But then there are others who say, 'My coming here to the ordinary world is just like staying at a hotel. I'm only going to stay here a few days and then leave in a hurry.' Some people just dread leaving this place, and they've forgotten their own homes." (Zhuan Falun)

Because there are so many courses to study, young practitioners cannot clarify the truth to people as widely as adults, but that is not an excuse, and we also have such a duty.

We need to make use of our environment, and we should be strict with ourselves and be kind to people and considerate of people. Then our classmates will accept what we tell them more easily, because through our behavior they understand that practitioners are good people. After they understand the truth, they will also clarify the truth to their parents and friends. This is good for our validation of the Fa.

It is impossible for students to avoid being infused with CCP culture, so we should take time to study the Fa and rectify ourselves with the Fa. Though we may not send forth righteous thoughts every hour, we should send forth righteous thoughts together with practitioners throughout the world at the four set times every day. Then we will do the three things that Teacher tells us to do better.

Let's review Teacher's words,

"Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and save people with mercy--this is establishing the mighty virtue of an Enlightened Being." ("Rationality"),

and perform our duty of clarifying the truth together on our path of cultivation.

Please point out anything improper.

Referred by another practitioner, practitioner A went to an older friend's home. The woman used to be a practitioner but became lost in ordinary people's environment for a long time. She was besieged by all kinds of diseases and needed help with her housework. She was very happy when she saw her friend and asked her to stay with her until the Chinese Spring festival, so practitioner A had an opportunity to exchange ideas in detail with her. She talked about validating Dafa and cultivation in recent years. The friend paid great attention to her and felt regret the more she listened. When practitioner A explained that our merciful Master is still waiting for her, the fellow practitioner that had fallen behind for many years started to cry. She cried very hard and declared that she would start cultivating from the beginning, and would not fail to live up to our Master's merciful expectations. Practitioner A was also very touched and had tears in her eyes. Suddenly she saw that the woman in front of her was sitting on a big beautiful lotus. She enlightened that Master was encouraging her and also enlightened that she had a deep predestined relationship with Dafa. Master encouraged her to strive forward and improve together with this fellow practitioner.

Not long ago, a practitioner met practitioner B in a neighboring village. Practitioner B told how she had broken out of the local detention center with her righteous thoughts. When she was taken in, she said, she thought that, since she had been taken advantage by the evil forces, she would walk well on the correct path, eliminate the evils with her righteous thoughts, and not cooperate. A policeman first tried to extort money from her and demanded 2000 yuan. She refused his demand very firmly and calmly clarified the truth of Dafa to the person who monitored her. They gave up. The policeman then said she could pay half of the money that they were demanding. She said, "I have no reason whatsoever to give you a penny. You have to send me home with no strings attached!"

Later, when the policeman persecuted her with extra work, she thought of Master's teaching,

"If you have righteous thoughts,
the evil will be destroyed"

("Nothing to Fear," Hong Yin II, provisional translation subject to improvement)

She sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors every hour. The policeman gave up again and only assigned her very little work, so she had more chances to get in touch with the other people, clarify the truth to them, and try to persuade them to quit the CCP and its related organizations. She had enabled many people to understand the truth and witness the beauty of Dafa. Two of them renounced the communist regime and Young Pioneers and said they would cultivate Dafa once they were released. The police could do no more and soon sent her home in a car.

Practitioner C from a rural village works during the day because his farm fields were taken and he has to work for others to support his family. When he returns home at night, he does the three things that practitioners should do every day and he is very diligent. The local authorities have persecuted him. With righteous thoughts and firm belief in Master and Dafa, he broke out of the local detention center. Policemen and the court officials have arrested and sentenced him and done so many times. His neighbor asked him to leave his home to avoid these troubles. When he exchanges ideas with other practitioners, he often says, "We have Master and the Fa! What do we fear?" He takes the hardships as happiness. Although his family is very poor, he is always very happy. In recent years, the police have not dared to bother him anymore.

Elderly practitioner D does not know how to read regular books but she can read Zhuan Falun very easily. After she finished one line of characters, the next line appeared. She enlightened that this was Master's way of encouraging her to be diligent. She used to say many bad words, and fellow practitioners reminded her many times to correct this bad habit. Perhaps she did not pay attention or perhaps it was too hard to correct an old habit, but it had an effect on her clarifying the truth. When she later read the chapter "Cultivation of Speech" in Zhuan Falun, the character for "mouth" became just a line. When this happened, she enlightened that Master was revealing to her that she should cultivate her speech. She thought about this and the next time she read the character for "mouth," the word opened up. Now, her fellow practitioners all say that she has cultivated her speech and she has improved a great deal.

Whenever she has time, this senior practitioner goes out to clarify the truth and persuade people to withdraw from the Party and its related organizations. Her thoughts are very righteous and she always touches people's hearts with very few words.

On night she learned that another practitioner needed many truth-clarifying materials and agreed to meet to give her some. While on her way, two police cars stopped right in front of her. Her first thought was to hide, but immediately she remembered the story of Sakyamuni taking a bath. Master said, "We should not have to stop taking baths because there are insects." She had this righteous thought: "We should not delay saving sentient beings because there is interference from the evil." She continued walking and calmly passed on the materials to the other practitioner. Later she told that practitioner that when she went to sleep that night, she clearly saw a group of celestial maidens from the heavens. They held each others' hands and walked close to her with a smile. She enlightened that Master was encouraging her. The celestial maidens were a hint to cooperate well with fellow practitioners, and that the effect of validating Dafa would be better.

(Clearwisdom.net) The ancient people thought that it was very important to amend one's mistakes--it was a way to cultivate virtue. It was also an important issue for introspection and cultivation. The ancients believed that even a saint could make mistakes. In the "Classics" it states that no man is infallible, and to be able to correct one's errors is the noblest of virtues.

To make a mistake and fail to correct it, however, is to make another mistake. Confucius said, "If you know that you made a mistake and you don't correct it, that's truly a mistake." It is admirable when one can actively improve one's behavior. One should act like Zi Lu, one of Confucius' well-known disciples, "Being joyful whenever he learned of his mistakes." Only when one is anxious to correct one's mistakes can one continually improve oneself and becomes a person of great virtue.

In The Analects of Zi Chang 19, Zi Chang, one of Confucius' disciples, said, "The mistakes of a gentleman are displayed like the eclipses of the sun and the moon: when a gentleman makes a mistake, everyone sees it; and when he corrects it, everyone admires it." Mistakes are unavoidable, particularly the mistakes of a gentleman. If he can amend himself, others will still respect him. If he fails to do that or if he makes an effort to conceal them, then he not only loses his self-respect but also meets with disdain from others.

In the Book of Change, it states that one should change for the better and amend one's mistakes.

It's impossible for anyone not to make a mistake, but the important thing is to correct it in time. Taizhong, the famous emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was most well-known for his ability to take different suggestions and correct his mistakes in time. When he recalled the days of Wei Zheng, his most trusted adviser, he said, "If you take the copper as a mirror, it'll help you to adjust your attire; if you take history as a mirror, you'll know the rise and fall of the dynasties; if you take a human being as a mirror, you'll learn loss and gain." To "take a human being as a mirror" means to take the words and behavior of other people as references to find out whether what we do is right or wrong. You will give up your own idea if others have better ideas; you'll acknowledge and correct your mistakes if you see others behave properly; you'll be cautious and alarmed if others make a mistake, so you will not make the same mistake.

In the High Official in Ancient China, it states that one should correct one's mistakes without any reservations.

Mencius told this story: "There was a man who stole a chicken every day from his neighbor. Someone told him that it was not a gentleman's behavior. The man said, 'I need time to correct this behavior. First I'll steal only one chicken a month, instead of one a day, and by next year, I won't steal any more.'" The man knew he was wrong. Why could he not correct his mistake immediately and have to wait until next year? Once you know your mistakes, you should take corrective measures diligently and not lag behind.

Lu Jiuyuan, a thinker from the South Song Dynasty, said, "When someone points out your mistakes, you need to correct them immediately; when you know your mistakes, you should not try to conceal them; when you correct your mistakes, you should have no fear."

Mencius praised Zi Lu once and said, "Whenever someone points out that Zi Lu had made a mistake, Zi Lu is very glad about it." Based on what Mencius said, Lu Jiuyuan elaborated on it and said, "First, you should not be afraid when others point out your mistakes; second, after you learn of your mistakes, you should not try to fool others and yourself; finally, you should persevere in correcting your mistakes." "Have no fear." Those words are very important. After you have made a mistake, don't be afraid of the criticism, don't be afraid of the embarrassment, and furthermore, don't be afraid of the difficulties during the course of correction. When you can follow those three steps, your moral standard will continually elevate.

Yan Yuan, a thinker and educator of the Qing Dynasty, advocated learning everything and applying it to daily life. He said, "To cultivate your character means to correct your mistakes and change for the better." He emphasized that one should apply strict standards for oneself: Whenever possible, one should change for the better, and whenever one makes a mistake, one should correct it immediately. Only by doing that can one truly rectify one's thoughts, cultivate one's character, harmonize one's family, manage one's country, and bring peace to the entire world.
