Falun Dafa practitioners' Solemn Declarations
(Clearwisdom.net) Solemn Declaration I began practicing Falun Gong in 1997 and during my several years of
cultivation I have benefited tremendously, both physically and mentally. After
July 20, 1999, when the government began persecuting Falun Gong, I went to
Beijing to speak some just words for Falun Gong. Because of this I was
unlawfully detained five times. In August 2000 I was sentenced to one and a half
years of forced labor. During the detention at the forced labor camp I was
treated like a slave and was forced to work 22 hours a day. The perpetrators
repeatedly instilled Dafa-slandering words in my head. Additionally, because I
didn't study the Fa well before, I became momentarily perplexed. I feared death
and wanted to live a comfortable life, so I wrote a "repentance statement" [renouncing
Falun Gong] for which I will never be able to forgive myself for the rest of
my life. What is worse is that I sank deeper and deeper in the swamp and tried to
persuade other determined practitioners to renounce Falun Gong. My mind was
twisted. I let Jiang's group use me. I did things I never should have done, and
I interfered with Master's Fa-rectification and with saving people. Although I
didn't intentionally do these bad things, the fact is I committed serious crimes
against benevolent Master and fellow practitioners. Before this, I was walking
the path to return to my true, original self, the most righteous path. Now I
have stepped off the path and onto the edge of the cliff. Master's boundless benevolence allowed me to read his new teachings after I
was released from the labor camp. By studying the Fa, I regained a clear mind
and realized I had made a complete mistake. I regret it terribly. Every time I
remember Teacher's benevolent and arduous salvation, tears of shame stream down
my face. I hereby solemnly announce that all the "repentance statements and
reports" I wrote during my stay at the forced labor camp that defame Dafa were
written under coercion, and therefore all of them are void. At the same time, I
apologize to fellow practitioners whom I have misled. I thank Teacher for giving
me the opportunity to realize my mistake and to make up for it. From now on I
will return to Falun Dafa practice, keep up with the progress of Fa-rectification,
expose the evil, clarify the truth and make up for the losses I have caused Dafa. Han Baoyan January 13, 2004 Translated from
http://www.minghui.ca/mh/articles/2004/1/14/64868.html Solemn Declaration In the summer of 2003 I was arrested at work by personnel from the "610
Office" [the "610 Office" is 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]. During the illegal detention
I held a hunger strike, clarified the truth to inmates and recited Falun Dafa
teachings and did Dafa exercises every day. Later I was sent to a brainwashing
class. I faced fanatical persecution and as I didn't want my family to suffer
with me, I made compromises to the evildoers against my true will. I wrote the
"three statements," which is something a Dafa practitioner should never do [practitioners
are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write these as proof that they
have given up their belief. Created by the "610 Office," the three statements
consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun
Gong, and a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends and
acquaintances who are practitioners]. I let down benevolent Master, who has
suffered so much in order to save me. I regret it terribly. I hereby announce
that everything I said and did in the brainwashing class is void. I will
completely negate the old forces' arrangements and dive back into the current of
Fa-rectification. I will do well in the three things Dafa practitioners are
supposed to do [study the Fa, explain the facts and send righteous thoughts]
to make up for the losses I caused Dafa, and compensate for the bad influence I
exerted. Miao Fenge December 20, 2003 Translated from
