A Foreword that Appeared on Truth-Clarification Flyers in China. (Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong is an ancient Chinese teaching of mind and body improvement. The entire teachings of
Falun Gong are freely given to anyone who wants to learn them. You may hear other terms for Falun
Gong, such as Falun Dafa, but the most accurate name is "Falun Cultivation Dafa".
It is the manifestation of the great Fa [law], the Buddha Fa, in the ordinary people's world. Falun Dafa has rapidly spread to about sixty countries. The Falun Dafa books have been translated
into more than twenty languages and are embraced by people from all walks of life. Many of these
people are highly educated and all are diligent Falun Dafa practitioners. The fundamental principles that Falun Dafa is based upon are
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance". Practitioners do not pursue self-interest or fame nor
do they have political agendas. During the brutal persecution and the vicious defamation campaign,
the righteous thoughts in their hearts stayed constant. They seek to spread the truth so that more
people are not deceived by the defamation and lies spread by Jiang Zemin's regime. They want others
to understand Falun Dafa for what it truly is and not just from the propaganda and lies that have
been disseminated from the Chinese regime. Jiang's regime launched an attack to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners out of jealousy and
political struggle; the extent of this widespread persecution is not completely known, but
rivals the serious crimes against humanity committed by other heads of totalitarian regimes. Jiang's
regime uses the media in China to deceive people. In the days following the so-called "Tiananmen
Self-immolation Incident," the regime continued to fabricate lies by falsely accusing those
committing murders that occurred in the country as acts committed by Falun Dafa practitioners.
Meanwhile, the"610 Office" [An agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong,
with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and
judiciary systems] was created to organize and further spread the persecution against Falun Dafa.
Practitioners are abused in almost every township, every county, and every city in China. As of
August 28, 2002, more than four hundred and sixty practitioners deaths due to torture have been
confirmed. Over one hundred thousand practitioners have been sent to forced labor camps. Several
thousand practitioners have been sentenced to prisons. Countless practitioners have been forced into
homeless lives in China to avoid further persecution. The Jiang regime blocks all Falun Dafa
websites and bans Falun Dafa books so that the Chinese people will only hear their slanted side of
the story and be unable to discover the true facts for themselves. Although the persecution and abuses have been immense, practitioners are determined to reveal the
truth and expose the lies that the Chinese government has spread. Falun Dafa practioners believe
that it is important that everyone have a clear understanding of the Buddha Fa as this is a major
event in our history. Good acts will be rewarded with good, evil deeds will meet with evil in
return. In the near future, all karmic debts will be settled. My brothers and sisters! The spreading of Falun Dafa is a major event for human beings. What a
person does to the righteous Fa will determine his or her future. So please learn the truth and make
correct judgments. Never just follow other people's thinking and words. Never act without knowing
the entire picture. For more information, please visit www.Clearwisdom.net, an important Falun Dafa website. From
there, you will find links to other Falun Dafa websites, learn more about the spreading of Falun
Dafa around the world, and the true facts of the persecution in China. Also, you will be able to

for yourself. Posting date: 9/19/2002 |
