Practitioners Exchange Insights

The following is an excerpt from the article "Actively Harmonizing Oneself with the Fa."

I did not pay special attention to the Minghui editor's notice about the correction of some words in Dafa books. I thought that correcting those words one by one would be too time consuming at a time when we are hurrying up to tell the facts and save sentient beings. I thought that since we had cultivated for so many years and the Fa is always Master's Fa, it might not be critical to make those "trivial" changes. However, while I was looking at Teacher's words "Yuan Rong" [harmony and inclusion] recently, I was suddenly enlightened to the inner meaning of why Master made a change to the words. The changes are extremely profound, encompassing everything, and leaving out nothing. While reading, my mind became very broad, and I reached a very high realm. What Master has taught us and guided us to do are harmonizing us, enabling us to walk towards consummation. Hence, with regard to Master's decision to change those words and Minghui editor's notice, as Dafa practitioners, we should correct them in a timely manner. This is also part of actively harmonizing oneself with Dafa.

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

The following is an excerpt from the article "Falun Dafa Practitioners Negate a Labor Camp with Righteous Thoughts."

On the evening of May 8, 2003, around 9 p.m., seven or eight police officers stormed into my home, abducted me and sent me to a detention center. They also asked for the source of my Dafa materials. I was very calm, and I kept sending forth righteous thoughts, and clarifying the truth to them. At the beginning of July, the police sentenced me to labor camp. When I walked out of the detention center, the Director said to the Head of the Political Security Office, "If you cannot send her to labor camp, don't bring her back. We do not want her any more." I was sending forth righteous thoughts the whole time, asking Master to strengthen me, and thinking, "I absolutely will not enter the labor camp." The police vehicle took me to the labor camp, but I did not pass the physical exam. The labor camp refused to accept me. The police had to take me back to the detention center. Three days later, the head of the local "610 Office" sent me to the labor camp again. First, they tried to bribe their friends who work there [so that they would take me]. But my blood pressure got higher and higher. The head of the "610 Office" said with a sigh, "I am out of ideas. We cannot send her in. We have to take her back." He tried to extort money from my family, my neighborhood administration, and my hometown government, but it all failed. Finally, they had to release me unconditionally.

Media Reports

RFA (Radio Free Asia) reported that German Falun Dafa practitioners plan to sue Jiang Zemin in German courts. A legal scholar, Ms. Zheng Zhihong said, "This lawsuit is unprecedented. Trials in the past, such as the Nuremburg trial, took place after the persecution failed and ended. This lawsuit is taking place at a time when the persecution is still under way. Therefore, this kind of lawsuit not only exposes the perpetrator's crimes whilst they are happening and alarms those still engaged in the persecution, but also exposes the perpetrators' lies and wakes up all good people to help stop the persecution." She also pointed out that recent development in international law will make crimes against humanity and genocide harder to get away with.

News from China

On July 17, 2003, Lawless officials Yu Daping and Liu Jitian from the Beihai Town Political and Judiciary Committee in Lushunkou District, Dalien City, Liaoning Province abducted Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Shumei (an elderly woman) and forced her into a brainwashing session. Ms. Wang Shumei jumped down from the 3rd floor trying to escape the persecution. She woke up in the hospital, quickly recovered, and went home. One of the officials who arrested her, Liu Jitian, told her when she was still in the hospital, "My arm has hurt ever since the day we abducted you, and has only now gotten better." The other official, Yu Daping, died suddenly three days after abducting Wang Shumei.

There is a large detention center in Jiangjun District, Fushun City, which is called "Shizi Building." Many Falun Dafa practitioners are currently being illegally detained there. We heard that the Fushun City No.1 Detention Center and No. 2 Detention Center are both part of the "Shizi Building," where the No. 1 Detention Center detains male practitioners (Huang Ke was killed there), and the No.2 Detention Center detains female practitioners (Wang Xiuxia was killed there). Since many Falun Dafa practitioners are severely persecuted there, we call on fellow practitioners and people of conscience to investigate this place, including the formal names, details of crimes, and police names, addresses, and phone numbers. Please expose this to the international community, so that [the appropriate] organizations can record these crimes, and quickly investigate.

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
