(Clearwisdom.net) As I write this article, I am very saddened due to the fact that some of the coordinators in our district were

illegally arrested

by the evil authorities. Some of them were immediately sent to a forced labor camp and others were tortured. Fellow practitioners have diligently sent forth righteous thoughts in an effort to rescue them. This was one of the greatest losses experienced over the past ten years of persecution in our local area. We asked ourselves why we had such loss during a time when the evil forces were less and the end of Fa-Rectification was approaching. The main coordinators in our town were all arrested and this was difficult for our town to overcome. After discussion, practitioners in our area have come to an understanding of this situation. We would like to share our understanding in an effort to eliminate any further interference.

(Clearwisdom.net) Greetings Master, greetings fellow practitioners!

I started practicing Falun Gong in 1996. I lived a very difficult life before I started practicing, since I did not have my parents when I was a child. When I became older, I suffered from all kinds of illnesses. It seemed that there was no way out. After practicing Falun Gong, all of my suffering disappeared. It was Dafa that brought happiness to me.

(Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Gong in 1998; at that time, my body and heart were purified. After reading only ten pages of the book

Zhuan Falun

, every one of 13 diseases disappeared and I felt very light. In the past, I'd suffered from a malignancy induced by hyperthyroidism, which manifested as swollen lymph nodes all around my neck. I had to support my head with both arms just to lay down when I slept. The doctor told me that it was too late to have surgery. I also suffered from ovarian cysts and had to hold my abdomen when I walked. In addition, I had nasal inflammation, serious stomach disease, rheumatism, abnormal rapid heart rate, and other problems. After several medical treatments failed, I was so desperate that I wanted to commit suicide. Why was my life was so miserable? However, all of my diseases were cured after I read those first ten pages of Zhuan Falun. Even my husband felt that Falun Gong was miraculous.
