In Order to Be Practitioners, We Have to Be Good People First - Falun Gong's Impact on Society (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) Many Falun Gong practitioners in Taiwan practice the exercises in parks and schools early every morning. Their minds and spirits are quiet and comfortable, their demeanor calm and peaceful. Many practitioners benefit from practicing Falun Gong, so they do the exercises everyday. They are also members of society from different walks of life, including scholars, farmers, workers, businessmen, doctors, attorneys, teachers, officials, students, police, housewives, and so on. Falun Gong requires practitioners to be good people in any environment, and it asks practitioners to do a good job at work and to always strive to improve themselves. Many practitioners, whether in their family, at work, or in society, are highly respected by those around them.

In December 2000, with the help of some of the other practitioners, I prepared to go to Beijing. My home phone was tapped, however, so my mother and I were forced to go to a brainwashing center. After I was there for three months, because of my mentality of fear and attachment to comfort, compounded by the fact that I didn't study the Fa well, I signed a "Guarantee Statement," and I tore up a Dafa book, as the police required.

My Experience Downloading Information from the Internet to Make Truth-Clarification Materials

(Clearwisdom.net)

A great number of Falun Dafa practitioners who have access to the Internet read experience-sharing articles. Although I have read many articles, I always felt that there was nothing I could write about nor had I done anything of great importance. Then, when the big truth-clarification material site in our area stopped operating some time ago and was divided into countless smaller sites, practitioners from our local site suggested that I write down our experiences of running the truth-clarification-material site in our area over the past few years.
