Urgent call from some practitioners in Canada to Canadian society -- Please extend your helping hand to rescue our beloved family members who are suffering in China. They are illegally arrested and detained. Some of them have been tortured to death. They are all good citizens who abide by the law, they are hard-working employees, they are happy to help others, and they are striving to live up to "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance." We hereby urgently call on every kindhearted person to use every means possible to help us, and to stop the persecution of innocent people by Jiang's regime, and to free our family members from detention.
Reference materials: Liu Xiaobo pointed out in his article that the bottom line of being a human is to speak the truth. When one keeps silent or utters lies under the pressure of tyranny, he is then betraying and trampling on what it means to be human, even if he is forced to do so and he feels guilty about it. Especially for intellectuals, no matter how they justify telling their lies, they are still betraying their own consciences.
Practitioners Exchange Insights
On the afternoon of April 23, I divided a copy of Teacher's lecture "Touring North America to Teach the Fa" into several parts, and hid them inside the items I asked my father to send to my fellow practitioners who were being held in the detention center. However, I did not tell my father Teacher's lecture was in there. My father did not come back in the evening. I then called the detention center and was told that my father left soon after dropping off the items. I did not think the police department would arrest my father without notifying me since one of the directors there got along pretty well with my family. With such a human mentality, I did not transfer the truth-clarification materials to a safer place. However, at about 10:00 that night, the police department sent some people to my home and took me away. Some of the Dafa materials were also confiscated. Later I managed to walk out of the evil den with strong righteous thoughts. From this experience, I learned that "It is extremely dangerous to add anything human to cultivation practice."
