Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

The following is an excerpt from the article "An Unforgettable Fa-rectification Experience."

In 2001, several of us Falun Dafa practitioners, after having just walked out of a labor camp, came to a small city. We decided to start some Fa-rectification work together to clarify the truth. Because we had not seen many examples of truth-clarification materials, we simply wrote down our experiences and how we had been persecuted, and added illustrations and short poems. All the flyers we made were radiant with righteous faith. We made many small colorful "Falun Dafa is Good" banners on satin. We also made many small flags to stick on the roadsides. Once we found a flyer that probably came from a fellow practitioner in a neighboring county, and we then made many copies from it. We hung an eight-meter-long banner on a highway intersection bridge on New Year's Day of 2002. One time, the evil held an exhibit to slander Dafa. We posted truth-clarifying flyers on their poster board and clarified the truth to the people who helped with the exhibit. We sent forth righteous thoughts in close proximity during the day, and soon the exhibit ended.

Truth and People's Hearts

Citi from Indonesia is a live-in maid in my sister's house, who does not speak much Chinese. I showed her Zhuan Falun in her language on the web. She read it very intently for more than an hour. The next morning, I brought her Dafa books in her language. She was overjoyed, and told me that she will read one lecture everyday. Soon after I taught her the movements, she said that she will do the exercises every morning.

I often teach my two sons to behave according to Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance, to treat people kindly, and to not be greedy. My older son and his wife contacted Dafa practitioners often, and took the initiative to establish a Dafa material site in their home. My younger son has done a lot of work for Dafa, such as passing out truth-clarifying materials and telling people the facts about Dafa. One of my fellow practitioners said that he is a Dafa disciple already, and encouraged him to catch up with the Fa-rectification. He was very happy to hear that, and started to speed up in studying the Fa and doing the exercises.

The Facts of the Persecution

Falun Dafa practitioners are being persecuted in Dabei Prison in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Falun Dafa practitioners are being watched closely 24 hours a day, and are limited in their mailing and visiting privileges. They have to work more than 17-18 hours a day. Whoever resists these ridiculous requirements from the police is "strictly supervised," which means that he or she is handcuffed, shackled at the ankles, and severely beaten.

The Education Bureau in Heilongjiang Province enacted a devious policy during the College Admission Exams of 2002. They deprived the right of higher education from the children of Falun Dafa practitioners, and they are continuing this policy into 2003. Many children of Falun Dafa practitioners do not practice Falun Gong, but they are still deprived of the right to apply for admission to college.

The Mengzhou City Police Department in Henan Province has illegally searched Falun Dafa practitioners' homes. They arrested, beat, detained, monitored, sent to labor camps, sentenced to prison, fined, and tortured Dafa practitioners. The torture has included slapping, being beaten while suspended in the air, having their hands cuffed behind their backs, being subjected to the torture method Tying the Ropes [The police tie up the practitioner with a thin rope, circle the rope around his neck, and tie his hands behind his back. Then the police use all their force to tighten the rope] and being forced to squat down for long periods of time. During the 16th Party Congress, Mengzhou City police forced 14 Falun Dafa practitioners to go through a brainwashing class.

News from China

After starting to cultivate Falun Dafa in 1996, the weak and sick state I was in disappeared, and I feel healthier everyday. One day when I was crossing the street, a motorcycle hit me squarely and knocked me down. I did not feel pain and was perfectly fine. I knew it was Master's Fashen [Law Body] that protected me.
