(Clearwisdom.net) The 10^th Anniversary of World Falun Dafa Day in 2009 has arrived. Ten years ago, we Dafa cultivators began to suffer brutal suppression and persecution by the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for pursuing our belief in universal principles. However, since the "April 25" peaceful appeal of Dafa practitioners in 1999, Falun Dafa has miraculously spread to the entire world. Falun Dafa has not only brought happiness to people around the world, but also been warmly welcomed in western society and recognized with over 1000 proclamations, and government praise from many quarters. May 13, 2000 was named the first World Falun Dafa Day. Since then, this date has become an annual celebration for people around world.

However, in China, the place of origin of Falun Dafa, the evil Communist regime has used a huge amount of national resources to persecute Falun Dafa resulting in a series of shocking persecution cases. The Communist regime has been deceiving and fooling the masses of Chinese people by violence and lies. Falun Dafa has suffered an injustice and has been persecuted for ten years, but the masses of the Chinese people are even bigger victims. While the world's people are celebrating the 10^th Anniversary of World Falun Dafa Day, people in China have yet to know the facts. To date, there are still a large number of people in China who do not know much about the facts of Falun Dafa and the persecution. In order to save the precious people and that World Falun Dafa Day can also be celebrated in China, we Dafa practitioners have endured a long ten years of formidable tribulations, and have persevered and continued to clarify the facts to people. Today, ten years later, the universal principles of Falun Dafa have spread to every corner of the world and the radiance of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance has shone through heaven and earth, awakening the conscience of the world's people. The battle between the righteous and the evil has come to its final stage.

If the 10^th Anniversary of "April 25" is viewed as a historical turning point, then the 10^th Anniversary of World Falun Dafa Day will open a new chapter in history. To disintegrate the evil Communist regime and stop the persecution are no longer an appeal, but an inevitable historical certainty. At this unique moment in history, when we recall the short relaxed period during which we could cultivate freely, the scenes are flashing by in our minds like dreams - the practice sites, one after another, the unforgettable memories... we remember them all.

Before "July 20"1999, Falun Gong practice sites in mainland China sprang up everywhere. Tens of thousands of Dafa practitioners demonstrated the beauty and peacefulness of Falun Dafa to people in various places such as sports stadiums, parks, streets, and Falun Dafa's gentle and elegant exercises were seen everywhere and attracted many passers-by. The practice sites were so pleasant and peaceful that practitioners did not want to leave even long after finishing the exercises. Many passers-by inquired about Falun Dafa and joined in which changed their fate in life for the better. We deeply cherish each single day before "July 20" 1999 because in those precious days each one of them recorded the most brilliant moment in our lives. In the city where we used to live, there was a practice site that we used to go to. By the lake side, set off by weeping willows with a fragrant smell permeating from the nearby lotus pond, was the practice site on a slope where giant ancient trees grew. Every morning, when most people were still fast asleep, we had already started doing the five sets of exercises regardless of the weather. At dusk, the practice site was under a propitious red radiance and those who did not have time to do the exercises in the morning would come and do the sitting meditation.

However, such a beautiful and miraculous practice has been brutally persecuted for ten years by the regime headed by Jiang Zemin. Ten years is only like a snap of the fingers in relation to history, and yet we were tempered in the most difficult circumstances. In the arduous course of resisting the persecution and saving sentient beings, we have put ourselves through the mill and made huge sacrifices. Still we are standing loftily, shaking heaven and earth. It is our wish that more people will come to the practice sites to practice Falun Gong on the day when heaven eliminates the Communist Party. Now, what we have waited for in these ten years will soon become a reality and the pace to disintegrate the Party is advancing faster and faster. Those who have blindly followed the Party and held prejudice against Falun Dafa due to poisonous brainwashing by the regime are walking towards danger risking their lives. In order to save more people, we will continue to clarify the facts to people with compassion. We hope those who are still in the maze can quickly awaken, look for the truth and quickly quit the Party and its associated organizations so as to choose a bright path leading to a beautiful future.

We wish World Falun Dafa Day will soon become a grand celebration of the Chinese people.

We wish to see everyone there when the whole world joins in the celebration.
