Practitioners Exchange Insights

The following is an excerpt from the article, "On Fear."

Fear is itself a factor of being human. To a cultivator that has not reached consummation, there exists to some extent an attachment to fear. The final goal of cultivation is getting rid of all attachments, and having no fear, so that the indestructible light of Fa- rectification of Dafa disciples can manifest. That is what the evil is afraid of the most--that is what the evil dislikes seeing the most. In fact, fear tests us fundamentally on the way we treat cultivation. If a cultivator deep down inside is guarding his personal gain, and would rather not give his life to guard the Fa, it doesn't matter how much he talks about having no fear, it is false. The shortcomings of one instantaneous thought can result in looking at things from the wrong point of view, in growing many deviated mentalities, and it can lead us down a side road, which delays our saving more sentient beings, and even gives the evil gaps to take advantage of.

According to Master's teaching of inter-generation and inter-inhibition, I enlightened that facing conflicts and problems, a cultivator should not be buried in human notions, and should go above and beyond the old principles, seeing through things with rationality rooted in the cultivation in Dafa. Then one can be excluded from the limitation of inter-generation and inter-inhibition. Then one can be as calm as pure water unrippled by waves, as indestructible as diamond, and like a God.

Facts of the Persecution

On December 13, 2003, a ruthless official named, Wang Tianyi, from Zhoukou City, Henan Province, went to Falun Dafa practitioner, Mr. Zhang Siying's home, and told him to write a guarantee stating that he would stop practicing Falun Gong. Mr. Zhang absolutely refused to do such a thing. Wang was very angry, and declared that Zhang must be mentally ill for refusing. He abused his power to have Zhang admitted to the Zhoukou City Mental Hospital. Once there, Wang had doctors tie Zhang up and inject an unknown drug into his head. Because of the injection, Zhang lost consciousness, developed an eye problem and felt disoriented. Fearing taking responsibility for harming Mr. Zhang, who had no previous history of mental illness, the mental hospital released him after he developed these medical conditions.

Police from Dashaping Prison, located in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, are very cruel towards Falun Dafa practitioners. They used five electric batons together to shock Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Guan Qiang, which injured his head, and then locked him up for 34 days in a solitary compartment. Police hung Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Shi Jinxiang by his cuffed hands, and shocked him with an electric baton in front of more than 150 people. Police handcuffed Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Qiang Xiaoyi for almost 60 days, and during that period, he was hung by his cuffed hands for three whole days.

On July 18, 2002, Party members in the village were watching a video exposing the corruption of former Mayor of Shenyang City, Mu Suixin, and Deputy Mayor Ma Xiangdong. Ms. Huo said during discussion time, "Falun Gong teaches people to be good. There would be no corruption if people practiced Falun Gong." Just because she spoke this one true sentence, she was abducted and brought to the Changtu County Detention Center around 6 p.m. on the same day, and was later sent to the Masanjia Labor Camp to serve a three year term with out proper legal procedure.

During the middle of December 2003, one police officer in the Tangshan City Labor Camp tried to force Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Yue Xinglai to betray his belief in the Falun Gong principle of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance, but Yue refused officer then tied up Yue, a 58-year-old man.

Falun Dafa practitioner, Ms. Wang Shouxin is 47 years old. She has been jailed in the Banqiao Women's Labor Camp in Dagang District, Tianjin City since 2002 because she passed out truth-clarifying flyers to the public.

Their excuse was that she refused to give up her belief.

Ms. Guo Shuqing from Taiping Village, Yunshan Town, Shandong Province was detained twice in Pingdu City because she went to Tiananmen to validate the Fa.

Later, she was sent to the Pantao Brainwashing class, and locked up there for nearly 50 days.

My name is Cui Shuzhi. I am 62 years old, and a resident of Zhaozhou County, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. After my husband Lou Lixun and I started practicing Falun Dafa, all our sicknesses went away. In June of 2000, I was confined to a brainwashing class. My husband was put under extreme pressure to give up his practice of Falun Gong. I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in December 2000, and was detained for 6 months in the Zhaozhou County Detention Center. I went through numerous forms of mental and physical torture there. I was forced to renounce my belief, and had 7,000 yuan extorted from me. Five months after I was released, my husband left me forever. My second oldest daughter was put in labor camp for practicing Falun Gong, and was not allowed to see her father go. Upon studying the Fa and exchanging insights with fellow practitioners, I have regained my confidence in practicing Falun Gong again. Thank you Master for giving me another chance. I want to do better, and will absolutely not betray my conscience and faith again.

Falun Dafa practitioner, Ms. He Hua had been tortured severely in the Heizuizi Labor Camp.

Once, police tied up the legs of He Hua and six other fellow practitioners and forced them to sit in the lotus position for more than nine hours a day for several days.

On April 4, 2002, police stormed into her home, abducted her, and took her to the county detention center again. She was sentenced to four years of labor camp, and sent to the Harbin Women's Labor Camp. Her husband died that winter, but Ms. Fu was not allowed to see him in his last days. Their "excuse" for not releasing her was that she refused to give up her belief in the Falun Gong and its principle of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.

After July 20, 1999, when the persecution of Falun Dafa began, Ms. Sheng Yu-E from Yunshan Town, Pingdu City, Shandong Province was harassed and tortured by local police, detained many times, beat up, and forced to become destitute and homeless in order to avoid being unlawfully arrested at home.
