Truths About the Persecution

The guards in Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp resort to the following means to torment Dafa practitioners: sleep deprivation, forced standing, forced intravenous injection, forced drug injection, force-feeding of concentrated salt water and other abuses. Falun Gong practitioners were very weak after a hunger strike, yet they were forced to walk in the yard non-stop all day long, except at mealtimes. After a week, most practitioners can no longer walk; then the thugs force them to sit in the room all day long. During the "strict control" period, practitioners were forced to sit on small round stools. No daylight enters the room and green moss grows on the walls. The practitioners sit in a room of a few square meters in size in which they eat, drink and relieve themselves. There is no air circulation in the room at all.

Practitioners Exchange Insights

Helping lost practitioners to return to their path: during these four years, some fellow practitioners got lost and fell behind. Many of them used to be very good practitioners--they were assistants and veteran practitioners whom other practitioners respected. These good people had made huge contributions to Dafa, but were temporarily hindered by human concerns in this brutal environment. The side of them that was well cultivated as well as beings in their cosmic systems are anxiously waiting for them to escape the maze of the human world.

If we consider their historical circumstances, it becomes apparent that many veteran practitioners and assistants were the first to encounter the full-force of this earth-blanketing persecution from the beginning, and they endured much more than other practitioners. It's would have been very difficult for them to handle themselves well in that kind of environment of huge pressure, so we should not easily ignore them. To completely negate the old force's arrangement, we also must negate the result of the old force's persecution against Dafa practitioners. Master has always been benevolently waiting and calling for them. In fact, we also know they have a deep understanding of the Fa; they merely closed themselves off in this vicious environment. If they can overcome this barrier, they will still be determined members among us, and this is exactly where they need our help to get over the barrier. We can also feel their complex and sensitive emotions mixed with anguish, which requires us to think for them from their own perspective, with their mentality and with greater patience and benevolence, and actually help them to solve some specific problems. We should share with them from Fa principles and xinxing, do away with human's way of thinking and the human's thoughts that restricts them, so we can help them to gradually return to the state of cultivation.

My thoughts after seeing the disciples on the classic paintings: I saw three classic paintings showing Catholics and other Christians suffering persecution. What moved me was there was no fear of death in the eyes of the tortured believers, which is usually present in non-believers who are facing death; instead, I found only trust and longing for God in their eyes. When they faced brutal torture and death, they treated it as nothing and they placed everything they had, including their life, unreservedly in the hands of God. This supernatural power of pure and righteous faith transcends time without reducing the shocking power! I look at Fa-rectification taking place right now: Master arranges for every Dafa disciple to reach Consummation and return in an open and dignified manner, and we don't need to go through death in the human world as in the past, but the law of the cosmos has the same basic requirements for practitioners in tribulations: we must have pure and rock-solid faith in gods and in Master. No human thoughts and ideas can completely defeat the evil; only by trusting 100 percent in all of the Fa that Master has taught us and completely giving up our human will would make the old forces give up their intention to destroy our faith through brainwashing and torture. If we comply with all of Master's Fa, we can fulfill the historic mission given to us by Master in a satisfactory manner.

The Truth and People's Heart

An elementary school teacher's explanation of "ten thousand rays of light:" A young practitioner in China put a truth clarification VCD at his teacher's door and sent forth righteous thoughts with his mother to let the teacher obtain the VCD. During class the next day, the teacher said to the students, "I think 'Truth-Compassion-Tolerance' by Falun Gong is correct." From then on, the teacher often said during class "Falun Dafa is good." At a writing class, the teacher talked about the phrase "ten thousand rays of light." "What are ten thousand rays of light? The light illuminated by a Buddha is ten thousand rays of light, and when Dafa practitioners do exercises it's also ten thousand rays of light." Once, the teacher asked a question and the students made the heshi gesture instead of raising their hands to answer.

Two years ago, the mother of Sun, a person in Jilin Province was diagnosed with lung cancer and became unconscious in May 2003. Sun's wife is my relative, and I told her, "Call your husband and tell him to say to his mother 'Truth-Compassion-Tolerance,' 'Falun Dafa is good'." Right away his mother came to. Recently when I called, she had almost recovered. Right now she says, "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance," "Falun Dafa is good" everyday. Sun has a son whose head and the upper half of his face turned black when he turned one month old. I told her to let the boy listen to Dafa music. Three days later, the black color faded. Originally, one of the boy's pupils was of an indistinct mixture of black and white. Now it is a distinct color and clear. Twenty days later, the black color on the boy's head and face turned light blue and the disease went away. When the boy listens to Dafa music, sometimes he makes the gesture of heshi and sleeps with the cassette player. After seeing the miracles of Dafa, the whole family began listening to Master's lecture tapes.

Trying Jiang Zemin is what the people want and it's a natural part of historical progress

Jiang Zemin does not represent China: many years of Party education and propaganda muddled the relationships among different aspects of the nation, such as the government, the Party and the people. Rulers who came to power through illegal and abnormal processes do not have a legal ground to stand on to represent the country and the people. Jiang Zemin's personal history and true identity remain unclear. Besides, he stole into power by stepping on the blood of the students who were killed during the June 4^th 1989 Massacre. He is a complete thief, acting outside the law. He does not even fit the Party's policy.

Jiang's crimes: secretly selling Chinese territory and humiliating the nation of China; allowing and sheltering corrupt government officials. He uses autocracy and accomplices to erode the Party and the political system and dispels dissidents; he strictly controls the media and blocks information; he deprives the people of their right to know; he suppresses democracy and freedom, and he suppresses and persecutes dissidents; he intentionally staged the "Tiananmen Self-immolation Incident" to frame Falun Gong; he forced the Hong Kong SAR government to propose Article 23 of the Basic Law and he destroyed the "One country, Two systems" policy, which threatens the unity of China; he concealed the SARS epidemic and treats human life like dirt; he strikes down and destroys the most basic human morality and conscience; he is extremely egotistical and tries to grab attention whenever the opportunity arises; he wastes tremendous amounts of time and national resources; he plays trickery and plans conspiracies, as he refuses to leave the post of Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party Central Military Commission.

Jiang Zemin is a tremendous barrier that obstructs the development of China and human advancement; Jiang is currently the greatest element threatening the stability of China. The fact that Jiang deceived the Chinese people and refused to give up military power has caused great turbulence and political conflict among the ranks of people in high-level Beijing government circles. Jiang is the greatest countercurrent in the anti-corruption campaign and reform; Jiang is the source of hypocrisy, malice and violence.

Jiang's brutal persecution and suppression of Truth-Compassion-Tolerance is the persecution against the conscience and justice of the whole human society; it's completely destroying the most fundamental values and human nature upon which the human race exists, therefore it far exceeds the common persecution, both physical and mental. It's only reasonable that Jiang be brought to trial in a court of human society and in the court of history. Jiang is devoid of human nature and is not granted immunity.
