(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 2003, more than 5000 Falun Gong practitioners attended the 2003 Washington DC Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference. They were representatives from North America, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and other locations. Master Li Hongzhi came to the different conference sites in person and lectured on the Fa in the main conference site.
Teacher Lectures on the Fa and Exposes the Persecution
At around 11:00 a.m. on July 20, 2003, Master Li Hongzhi arrived at the conference, and lectured on the Fa for about 40 minutes to more than 5,000 Dafa practitioners seated at the main conference site at Constitution Hall, National Society and five other separate meeting sites at the Capital Hilton.
According to what some of the practitioners in attendance recalled, Master Li Hongzhi emphasized at this Fa conference that the persecution is completely based on lies. It is different from previous campaigns of persecution, because this persecution has been covered up in society. The tests that the persecution has imposed upon Dafa practitioners are grim, the persecution against Dafa practitioners is severe, and so is the persecution of sentient beings. For humankind, it tramples upon human rights, beliefs and human nature. The persecution has seriously interfered with the entire Fa-rectification and the universe walking toward the future. All those who have participated in the persecution will be held accountable for their actions, and no one will be able to escape.
Huge banners at the sides of the main conference site read,
"With heavens clear and celestial bodies transparent, the cosmos is rectified, The mega-havoc is over, and the universe is illuminated."
These are two verses from "After Havoc" written by Master Li Hongzhi in January 1996. During four years of validating Dafa and clarifying the truth, more and more Falun Gong practitioners have understood the foreseeing and profound meaning of those two verses. From 1999 when Jiang claimed to "eliminate Falun Gong in three months" to today, the persecution has lasted for four years. During the last four years, Falun Gong practitioners around the world, especially countless Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland China, have endured unprecedented, grim tests. At the same time, amidst the persecution that is based on lies and covered up by lies, so many people's minds have been poisoned, losing the opportunity to be saved, and therefore resulting in the destruction of countless huge celestial bodies in the cosmos.
