Radio Free Asia reported on October 9, 2000, Jiang's upcoming visit to America has caused human rights organizations to protest against his persecution of Falun Gong and human rights violations. On Wednesday, a group of more than 150 people gathered in front of the Supreme Court and attracted several congresspersons. The rally was hosted by Freedom House, Amnesty International, the National Organization for Women, and Friends of Falun Gong. The purpose was to let the international community know and be concerned about the severity of this matter in China.

China Times reported on October 9, 2002, that the United States' Congress published the annual International Religious Freedom Report, which fully praised Taiwan; but criticized mainland China in 45 pages; while the worries over Hong Kong were confirmed since the future situation of Falun Gong in Hong Kong seems to be getting worse. The report said that the number of Falun Gong practitioners in Taiwan is quickly increasing, the Chinese Communist Government keeps severely persecuting Falun Gong and the situation of Falun Gong in Hong Kong is worrisome because of Beijing's undue influence on Hong Kong.

One female practitioner's sister-in-law always worries about her, and could not understand her completely. One day, she received a CD that clarified the truth about Falun Dafa. She watched the CD three times with tears in her eyes, and said to this practitioner (her husband's younger sister), "You'd better not go out any more, Jiang and his regime are too vicious." The young practitioner replied, "If no one had given you this CD, how would you have known the truth?" Her sister-in-law said, "In that case you must be very careful!"

An evil gang conducted a spree of arrests before the October 1^st holiday. Police in the local station warned Falun Dafa practitioners, "Put your books away carefully, so you that you won't be arrested." One Transportation Company had Falun Dafa practitioners over to clarify the truth about the persecution. Many owners see through the lies of Jiang and his regime, and have righteous thoughts towards Dafa. One owner asked, "Who else can drive among your Falun Dafa practitioners? Would you please find me one so I can hire him."

I went to Beijing three times to appeal for Falun Dafa and was illegally detained. On February 3, 2002, all police in the city launched an arrest of Dafa practitioners. I was transferred to a brainwashing class after being illegally detained for 35 days. In order to resist the prohibition against doing Dafa exercises, I held two hunger strikes (seven days and twelve days in length, respectively) to protest the persecution. Beginning from July 20, I held a 28-day hunger strike to protest the evil force's persecution of Dafa and Dafa practitioners.

After fortunately obtaining Dafa, my husband and I were cured of various illnesses, and our hearts were also purified. After July 20, 1999, my husband and I were arrested and detained seven times and we were sentenced to one year in a labor camp. Currently I am have been forced to leave home to avoid illegal arrest. My grandson has no one to take care of him and my children were forced to quit their jobs.

For the Chinese people, loving a nation is in fact loving China and loving the 1.3 billion Chinese people residing on the 9.6 million sq. km of earth. Right now, the dictator uses all resources and manpower in the country to strike against Falun Gong and allow corrupt government officials to gain unfair advantages using their power. He doesn't care about the lives of the people. If the situation remains unchanged, the collapse of the nation is imminent, and yet the victims in the end will still be the 1.3 billion people. Fellow countrymen, please think about it!

I also want to talk about the relationship between righteous thoughts and safety measures. Right now, as the Fa rectification is about to break through the dimension of the surface material, the evil that has been touched by Fa-rectification knows that their end is approaching, so their persecution against Dafa is ever more relentless and severe. Although the evil has lost the battle already and there are relatively few of them left, and as they do not have the ability to apply large-scale persecution against practitioners, they can still persecute certain individual practitioners. Therefore, we must always keep powerful righteous thoughts during Fa-rectification work, especially those practitioners who produce Dafa materials. At the same time we should also take necessary safety measures. That way, we will leave no omissions and perfectly complete our sacred, historic mission of assisting Master to rectify the Fa and save all beings.

We should pay attention to clarifying the facts to those practitioners who have not studied the Fa in depth. Recently, the Chinese state-run media again broadcast false information, saying that two Falun Gong practitioners strangled a hotel waitress in order to exercise their courage. A practitioner who studies the Fa fairly shallowly even believed such a piece of false news whose flaws were quite obvious. Think about it, had we not clarified the facts to this kind of practitioner in time to clear her inaccurate understanding, she would have fundamentally shaken her righteous faith in Dafa and Teacher, and might have even dropped her level or gone to the opposite side. Furthermore, the giant celestial body that she represents as well as the corresponding countless enormous beings would have to be eliminated because of our shortcoming. Dafa practitioners should be compassionate towards each other; this is no small matter. Therefore, we should not only clarify the facts to sentient beings but also pay attention to clarifying the truth to the individual practitioners who are poisoned by the vicious deceit.

What I saw in my dreams. At different stages or statuses in cultivation, a cultivator usually needs his master's timely guidance. However, this kind of guidance cannot be given directly because there is the issue of enlightenment in cultivation. When necessary, cultivators usually obtain hints in various ways and dreaming is one of them. Only when one achieves enlightenment through righteous thoughts based on the Fa, is he able to understand the true meaning of the hints.

A story about "Prediction of Falun Gong". An older female neighbor of mine knocked on my door to tell me that she watched a videotape that her friend recommended. The video introduced a kind of Oriental exercise and she found quite effective. She said that her friend told her that many people had been arrested because of practicing the exercises. At that point, I suddenly realized what she was talking about was actually Falun Gong. She stood up and slowly moved her limbs to show me the exercises. She told me with her eyes sparkling that the exercises are quite good for one's health.

I see that a traditional Chinese self-improvement method, an exercise called Falun Gong is rapidly spreading in Western society. I seem to see there will be a day, maybe 10 or 20 years later, when Westerners talk about China, what they appreciate most are the self-salvation and self-improvement exercises. Perhaps this is the true essence of Chinese culture that will be passed on generation after generation, not only in China, but also in the entire world. Its name is Falun Gong.
