Practitioners Exchange Insights

The following is an excerpt from the article "Experience on Clarifying the Truth to Fellow Countrymen in Beijing."

I told the other party on the phone, "I hope you and your family can safely make it through the SARS crisis." I told them some new SARS information related to Beijing, how severe it is, and how Jiang covers up the facts and blocks information about the epidemic. Then I told them that Jiang has been sued in international courts. It not only deceived common people about SARS, but also deceived the Chinese people about Falun Gong. I spoke briefly about the facts of Falun Gong. I feel there is an energy field in other dimensions when we directly clarify the truth. When our mind is relatively pure, this righteous field is stronger, the wisdom and compassion flow up from the bottom of our hearts, and the effects of clarifying the truth are better.

The Facts of the Persecution

There are seventy to eighty Falun Dafa practitioners detained in a brainwashing class held in the Pi County Detention Center in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. Most of them have been detained for more than a year. Vicious police force practitioners to cooperate under torture. They have used electric batons that carry 30-60 thousand volts to shock Falun Dafa practitioners until their burned flesh blistered. They have cuffed and hung up practitioners [With both hands cuffed behind the back, both feet suspended and only toes touching the ground. One is hung from a basketball support or house beam by the handcuffs.áBoth hands and arms soon go numb from lack of blood circulation], and beat practitioners brutally until they were too tired to continue. They beat many practitioners until they were injured or disabled, or until practitioners had fractured arms. The main personnel responsible are the Pi County "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] director Wu Biao, and brainwashing class director Bai Lirong from the Pi County Detention Center.

The lecturer in the Post Service Vocational School in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, is Falun Dafa practitioner Song Zhining, and he is around thirty years old. On the evening of September 26, 2002, he was unjustly arrested by the lawless "610 Office." This occurred while he was away from home, since he had become destitute and homeless in order to avoid being unjustly arrested at home. Police secretly transferred him several times, and he received cruel torture, but he refused to cooperate with the evil, and he went on hunger strikes twice for up to more than forty days to protest the illegal detention. He has been sentenced to two years of labor camp illegally, and is jailed in the Shijiazhuang Labor Camp.

Here is a list of villains who persecuted Falun Dafa in Yongnian County, Hebei Province: Party Secretary in Police Station of Yongnian County Liu Chaobin, 86-310-6827189, 86-1380-3286899 (cell). Former "610 Office" director Wang Shixian, also vice secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee, 86-310-6759186, 86-310-6818788 (h). Police Team Leader in Mingguan Station Yang Qingshe, 86-310-6823958/6855555...

Some male Falun Dafa practitioners in Guangdong Province have been illegally subjected to forced labor in the Sanshui Labor Camp in Guangdong Province. Police used all sorts of means to force-brainwash practitioners. Before December 2002, police requested that all Dafa disciples betray their faith upon being brainwashed. But starting from December 2002, there were more and more practitioners who refused to betray their faith. In March 2003, heads of the Provincial "610 Office," the Provincial Legislative Bureau, and the Provincial Labor Bureau all came to the Sanshui Labor Camp, directing the persecution. They established a long-term torture base, and put steadfast cultivators there. They force these practitioners to sit squat, deprive them of sleep for many days, and make them suffer both mentally and physically.

The Truth and People's Hearts

The following is an excerpt from the article "Seeking Money, Losing Virtue, and Ruining Himself."

Hu Zhong had retired from the Gas Company, and hoped to get some dirty money by reporting on Falun Dafa practitioners. Because of his reports, one family of three has been arrested, their home searched, and the practitioners' former employer the Gas Company has been fined. Beginning in December 2002, Hu's mouth became crooked and his eyes could not focus together ahead and wandered. Doctors found a tumor in his ear, and an egg-sized tumor was taken after operating. He still has a crooked mouth.

A 9-year-old boy with his third eye opened told a story he saw in heaven. There seems to exist a standard, three kinds of people will be eliminated. The first are those who cursed Dafa orally, but not in their hearts, the second are those who cursed Dafa in their hearts but not out loud, and the third are those who both cursed Dafa in their hearts and out loud. With this opportunity, we solemnly warn you now, please do not go against Dafa no matter what, because it is related to your future! It is also related to the futures of your families!

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

The following is an excerpt from the article "Ordinary Stories of a 70-Year-Old Lady."

In 2001, my two children were both sent to an evil brainwashing class. I could not help but be worried about them. But then I thought, they are all cultivators, Master will take care of them. So my heart was at ease ... In the spring, I felt bad physically. I told Master in my heart, I cannot die like this, I cannot stain Falun Gong. Then my body felt better and better ... Master taught us to send froth righteous thoughts, I recited Master's Fa-rectification verses even when I was cooking. I recited the verses while putting Dafa materials in peoples' bicycle baskets, and my mind was very calm. I am such an old woman and did not know even a single character before, but now I can read Zhuan Falun, and seven other of Master's Fa-lectures.

News from China

The following is an excerpt from the article "Viewing Today with History as a Reference."

1. Sudden Natural Calamities and Man-made Disasters: SARS appeared last November in Guangdong, Jiang ordered a cover-up of the epidemic, but this resulted in a quick spread to overseas. One PLA submarine sunk during training several days ago. All seventy mariners died. Analysts think China has gone opposite of its usual ways in making this scandal public, and this, plus the fact that this news was not posted immediately after the incident, indicate that there are some other stories hidden behind. From 1999 until 2002, China had the most severe drought continuously, which involved more than twenty provinces and autonomous districts. The cumulative area of drought crops is 1.9 billion Mu [a Chinese unit of land measurement. 1 Mu = 0.165 Acre]. This spring the drought has continued, and 250 million Mu of crops have been attacked by drought. More than 10 million people are facing a drinking water shortage. The eight most damaging earthquakes in the past fifty years started in 1966, the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, and ended in 1976, which was the last year of the Cultural Revolution. The Natural Calamities and Man-made disasters started together and ended together, is it coincidence or Heaven's will?
2. History as a Reference: At the ending period of each dynasty, incompetent emperors were in charge, acting against social justice, so that natural calamities and man-made disasters increased frequently. Wars abounded, governments were attacked from the inside and aggression was faced on the outside. These are because of perverse acts, and the heavens were warning people. During Wanli's 10th year in the Ming dynasty, a plague came to the Xuanfu region in Hebei Province, and then to Beijing. Forty percent of the total population died from the plague. In Chongzhen's 16th year in the Ming dynasty, an epidemic broke out in Tianjin until the total death count in the three Northern Provinces reached more than 10 million.
3. Medical Expert Looks at SARS: Under the current circumstance, where there is no effective treatment for SARS, the best way to prevent SARS is to strengthen people's immune systems. The Molecular Biological Immunity Professor at the Houston Baylor College of Medicine has proven with many scientific experiments that Falun Gong can clearly strengthen people's immune systems and strengthen people's anti-virus abilities, yet such a good practice has been banned in China by Jiang.
