(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa is an advanced cultivation practice of the Buddha School. The nine-day class is the most systematic way to learn the practice. From August 3 to 11, 2009, the nine-day class returned to Mazu, Taiwan. The last time it was held was six years ago.


The Falun Dafa nine-day class is held in the Jieshou Village Senior Citizen Activity Center in Mazu, Taiwan.


The first exercise of Falun Gong, Buddha Stretching a Thousand Arms.

People in more than 114 countries and areas practice Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa has also received more than a thousand proclamations and awards from governments and civil organizations. China is the only place where the practiced is suppressed. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) extends its persecution of Falun Gong overseas. Many people in Mazu, the land in Taiwan that is geographically closest to China, gave up the practice because of the threats from the CCP.

Ms. Lin has practiced Falun Gong for many years in Taiwan. She has benefited a lot from the practice and wants to introduce the practice to more people. On August 8, 2009, she went to Mazu and joined a parade that supported the 58 million people who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. After that, she decided to stay in Mazu to organize the nine-day class.

Ms. Lin said that since Jinmen and Mazu, the outskirt islands of Taiwan that are close to China, officially allowed direct travel between China and Taiwan, the CCP has been watching practitioners. When she was arranging the class, she received a threatening phone call. The person called her and told her not to "waste her time." The person then tried to threaten her by saying, "Many people in Mazu go to China and buy real estate. These people are followed. I am telling you there will be CCP secret agents in your class."

Ms. Lin did not stop. She continued her preparation work and distributed her Falun Dafa materials to every corner of Mazu. She had one thought, "The class will start and I'll let the secret agents know about it. This way they will come to the class and understand the facts of the persecution and the beauty of Falun Dafa."

The first day of the class, a man ran to the classroom panting and exclaimed, "Am I late?" After the class, he eagerly wanted to learn about Falun Dafa. This made Ms. Lin very happy and feel all her efforts were rewarded.

When the man left, he held the book Zhuan Falun in his arms as if it was an invaluable treasure that he had been waiting for.
