Teaching the Fa at the Conference in Vancouver, Canada, in 2003

(Long Applause) I just saw some of you in the audience at the last Fa conference. It seems like our Fa conferences are held more often around summertime. When Fa conferences are held by different regions, people there always invite me and hope I'll attend. Actually, every time I see you it's because I have things to say to you. Usually when different regions hold Fa conferences they all want Master to attend and say a few words. But, sometimes you haven't fully grasped the requirements I laid out for you in the previous lecture, and then if I say more it's likely to dilute your understanding from the previous lecture and the things you need to do. So I can't attend Fa conferences that often. Actually, today I don't have anything in particular to talk about, but I promised the Vancouver students a long time ago that I would come when they held a Fa conference, so I came this time.

Remembering Fellow Practitioner Wang Kemin

(Clearwisdom.net)

When I first heard that Wang Kemin had been passed away due to the persecution he had suffered, it was truly difficult to accept the grave news.

I met Wang Kemin in July of last year. His carefree, humorous personality and his smile made him extremely approachable. After knowing him for two months, and experiencing his selflessness and care for others, our own shortcomings became apparent. Wang Kemin was always busy with deliveries of Dafa materials, but he often thought of his fellow practitioners. At that time I was forced to leave my home due to the persecution, and did not have many personal belongings. When he noticed my disheveled clothes, he looked for clothing from other practitioners for me to wear. Although this was a small thing, it showed his great compassion.

(Clearwisdom.net) In December 1999, 32 Falun Gong practitioners in Qidong County were detained for going to Beijing to tell the government about the benefits Falun has brought to them and to ask for the right to practice openly and freely. They were brutally tortured in the Qidong Detention Center. The practitioners went to Beijing of their own free will and were not led by anyone to do so. But police officers tortured and interrogated the Dafa practitioners in order coerce them into admitting that they had executed some organized plan.
