Solemn Declarations by Falun Dafa Practitioners 10/28/2002
Solemn Declaration
By Dafa practitioner Xun Xiang
I have benefited both physically and mentally after I began cultivating
Dafa in December 1997. Ever since then, I was in a great mood every day and
had endless energy. When disaster struck in July 1999, [when Jiang launched
his persecution of Falun Gong] I stepped forward to safeguard Dafa and
Master after a period of thinking. I did not study the Fa well enough, didn't
understand Master's Fa principles well enough and especially lacked
understanding of the solemn nature of Dafa cultivation. The evil took
advantage of that. In June 2002, I was forcibly sent to the provincial "Legal
System Education Center," another name for a brainwashing center, a place
filled with lies. There, collaborators [Dafa practitioners who had gone
astray due to severe torture and brainwashing], police and assistant
guards who were manipulated by the evil, made up lies to poison the minds of
Dafa practitioners like me who had attachments they had not yet relinquished.
Some of their lies conformed to my attachments, and I said and wrote things
that Dafa practitioners should never say or write.
After I got out of the brainwashing center, I thought it over for several
months. Eventually I clearly realized and understood what Master had pointed
out in Zhuan Falun, "No matter what happens, one must maintain good
xinxing. Only through adhering to Dafa can one be truly right." I was deceived
by the evil because my main consciousness was not strong and I obeyed the evil
force's arrangements. I hereby solemnly declare that all of what I said and
wrote in the brainwashing class that deviated from Dafa is null and void. I
did it when I was under the evil forces' pressure, and when my main
consciousness was not clear. I will do as Master has taught us and negate all
arrangements by the old forces. When I returned to Fa-rectification, I again
experienced the mighty power of Dafa. I will redouble my efforts to make up
for the mistakes I made, and I will closely follow Master to rectify the Fa
until Consummation.

Solemn Declaration
By Dafa practitioner Bao Huarong
I was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor for clarifying the
truth to people. At the labor camp, the evil asserted severe pressure on me
and took advantage of my attachments. I knowingly accepted twisted
understandings of Dafa under the evil's pressure. When I was not in my right
frame of mind, I wrote a "repentance statement" to the evil and said many
things against Master and Dafa. After leaving the labor camp, I quickly became
clearheaded after some calm thinking. I hereby solemnly declare that all of
what I said and wrote against Dafa in the labor camp is completely void. I
have again returned to Dafa cultivation and I will make up for the losses I
have caused to Dafa. I will eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts at all
times, so that more people can be offered salvation.

Solemn Declaration
By Dafa practitioner Wang Yuling
After the evil began attacking Dafa on July 20th, 1999, I
persisted in studying the Fa and doing the exercises at home. When the police
came to my home and forced me to turn in my Dafa books and Master's pictures,
I refused and was arrested twice for doing so. In the detention center I was
deceived by the evil, because I didn't study the Fa deeply enough and was
moved by sentimentality. I wrote a fake "guarantee statement" for myself and
for two other practitioners who didn't know how to write, and I also put my
thumbprint on the statement. At that time, I thought it was only a game and I
would continue to practice Dafa in secret after I went home. Half a month
later, I paid a fine of 1,600 Yuan and was released. Through Fa-study, I
completely awakened and realized that cultivation is a serious matter and not
a game. What I did during detention completely deviated from Dafa. I regret it
terribly and I am very ashamed of myself.
I hereby solemnly declare that under the evil's persecution, all that I
wrote during detention that deviated from Dafa is completely void. From now
on, I shall strictly behave myself according to the standard of "Truthfulness,
Compassion, Tolerance", walk righteously on my own path, clarify the truth,
offer salvation to people, and redouble my efforts to make up for all of the
losses I have caused to Dafa.

Solemn Declaration
By Dafa practitioner Li Xiulian
I obtained the Fa in 1998. On January 24, 2001 [Chinese lunar calendar],
I went to Beijing to appeal and was arrested by vicious thugs in Tianjin City.
I was illegally detained for more than four months in my local police station,
followed by forced brainwashing. During the brainwashing, the police didn't
allow us to sleep and forcibly instilled us with twisted understandings and
lies. Because I didn't study the Fa profoundly enough, didn't realize some of
my most fundamental attachments and didn't realize the relationship between Fa-rectification
and individual cultivation, I accepted the evil's propaganda. Now, through Fa
study, I have realized the true nature of evil. Master said, "All of the
students who are clarifying the truth today in order to validate Dafa have
done really well. I have thoroughly affirmed this. What they have done is
absolutely correct--there's no doubt about this." ("Suffocate the Evil,"
Essentials for Further Advancement II) We are not wrong for rectifying the
Fa, and we should never acknowledge the persecution the evil has forced on us.
I terribly regret assisting the evil during the time when I "enlightened"
along an evil path, helped the evil persecute fellow practitioners and
committed unforgivable crimes. Hereby I solemnly declare that all the things I
said and wrote in the brainwashing class that was harmful to Dafa are
completely void. I will make up for what I did in persecuting Dafa and Dafa
practitioners when I was not in my right frame of mind and under the evil's
control. I will again return to Fa-rectification, expose the evil, eliminate
the evil and make up for the losses I caused to Dafa.

Solemn Declaration
By Dafa practitioner Ma Guilan
Recently, after re-reading Master's teaching, "Coercion Cannot Change
People's Hearts," I realized I had taken a wrong path because I didn't study
the Fa well, and I feel very ashamed. In May and October 2001, officials from
the neighborhood committee ordered me twice to write a so-called "guarantee
statement." I said, "I won't write it. I didn't do anything wrong, so why
should I write it?" The officials said, "If you don't write it, we'll send you
to a brainwashing class and contact the police." I thought, "My child lost his
father when he was young, and my child depends on me." With that in mind, I
reluctantly wrote a "guarantee statement." I thought I would still practice
daily, clarify the truth and offer salvation to people. However, my mind was
burdened, "Now I've blown it, would Master still want me as his disciple?"
Because of this mental burden, I cultivated on and off, and almost lost
confidence to continue cultivating at times. When I read Master's article,
"Coercion Cannot Change People's Hearts," "[The bad people] produce fake
scriptures, don't allow students to sleep, fabricate charges, frame up
students, spread lies, and so on. Being threatened severely, deceived, and
pressured greatly by all those indecent means, some students have written
things like the so-called "guarantees to stop practicing" or "statements of
repentance" when they were not in their right minds and forced. None of those
were genuine expressions from the students' hearts--they were done against
their will. Although they had attachments, were momentarily taken advantage of
by the evil, and did what a cultivator should not, a cultivator ought to be
looked at in his entirety. I do not recognize any of those things. When they
return to their senses, they will immediately start doing again what a Dafa
student should do during this time, and, in the meantime, will declare as null
and void everything that they said and wrote when they were not in their right
minds due to intense persecution, and will declare that they are determined in
cultivation." (Essentials for Further Advancement II), I realized that
Master is benevolent to all beings and is giving practitioners who took the
wrong path a second chance to return to Dafa! My previous thoughts were
everyday people's thoughts. I had those thoughts because I didn't discard
human sentimentality and didn't conduct myself according to the requirements
of the Fa, and I left a stain on my cultivation path as a result. Today, I
will get rid of the burden and quicken my steps on the cultivation path Master
has pointed out for us. I hereby solemnly declare that all of what I said and
wrote under the evil's coercion is completely null and void. I will redouble
my efforts to make up for the losses I caused to Dafa. Translated on November 19, 2002 from
