Solemn Declaration

Police arrested and sent me to a detention center in September of 2001. There they tortured me and as a result I was almost crippled. When they put me on trial, they tortured me and demanded that I write a "guarantee letter" * by threatening me. In September of 2003, the police arrested me again and sent me to brainwashing sessions. They coerced me to write the "guarantee letter" by threatening my children's jobs and I complied with their demands. Afterwards I was very upset and cried. I had opted for the easy way out because I worried about hardship and jail. I hereby declare my signed guarantee statements and letters of understanding null and void. From now on, I will practice openly and aboveboard, re-double my efforts and compensate for the damages I have done to Dafa.

*In this statement the practitioner is forced to admit remorse for practicing Falun Gong, promise to give up Falun Gong, and never again associate with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.

Solemn Declaration

I started practicing Falun Dafa in August of 1998. Before I started practicing, I suffered from various diseases and I was almost unable to take care of myself any longer. Since I started to practice Falun Gong I became physcially and mentally well. I personally felt the power of Dafa and at the same time I understood the meaning of life. I swore that I would cultivate Dafa but due to my shallow understanding of Dafa, I did not recognize the great significance of Dafa. Hence, I committed misdeeds that Teacher explicitly said we should not do.

In October of 2003, two fellow practitioners and I went to a remote village to pass out truth-clarifying materials about Falun Gong. Someone reported us, and the local police arrested and sent us to the local detenion center. Eight days later they sent us to a brainwashing session. A gang of thugs surrounded me and wouldn't let me sleep for two days and two nights. I was moved by fear and emotion, and against my better judgment, I signed my name to the so-called "Disssociation Statement"* and I said things defaming the Teacher. I wasn't really sincere, but it was still a betrayal and insult Teacher. After I got home, I was very distressed. I felt ashamed in front of Teacher about having defamed Dafa. This lesson awoke me. Dafa is solemn, cultivation is serious, and I shouldn't dilute it with my human notions. I hereby solemnly delcare that all the things that I wrote and said in the brainwashing class against Teacher are null and void. I will serenely study the Fa, follow Teacher's Fa-rectification closely, and completely refuse and eliminate the old force's arrangements. I will re-double my effort and compensate for the damages I have caused Dafa. I will walk the remaining part of my path without faltering and be a serious Fa-rectification practitioner.
