Learn Falun Dafa (Falun Gong)

New Practitioner: All Questions Were Answered 🍀 falundafa.org 🍀 Craig English from Western Australia began to practice Falun Dafa three years ago. He used to have many questions about spirituality. “But after I read Zhuan Falun (the main teachings of Falun Dafa) for the first time, [my questions] were all answered,” he said. “It was like all questions were addressed and there was nothing more to ask.” Craig shared that he was very thin in the past. Within six months after beginning to practice Falun Dafa, he gained 20 kilograms (or 44 pounds), which was something he needed. Not only that, the practice cleared up many of his bad habits. He also started to observe positive changes in the family, not just his immediate family, but also his extended family. “I’ve never seen so many of my family members all getting along. My parents are now reading Zhuan Falun. They have also started to measure their conduct according to Dafa’s teachings, which has just been amazing,” Craig continued. “I was even just talking to my mom today about something she was going through and how she resolved it. It has been fantastic.” As a new practitioner, Craig felt the sacredness of attending this large group event – from group exercises in the morning to a parade at noon and sharing experiences with young practitioners in the evening. “It’s just been marvelous because I feel an equanimity of spirit and complete calm,” he added.

2024 Year in Review: Five Key Developments in the Chinese Regime’s Persecution of Falun Gong What’s new? On January 15, the Falun Dafa Information Center published its annual review of key developments and trends in the persecution of Falun Gong. These included the fact that in 2024, at least 103 Falun Gong practitioners reportedly died due to persecution, while 541 were sentenced, and over 5,692 harassed or detained. Cheng Peiming became the first-known survivor of forced organ harvesting, publicly testified about his ordeal, an account affirmed by medical experts, which drew international media coverage. Moreover, the CCP’s longstanding campaign of transnational repression against Falun Gong practitioners escalated significantly in an apparent coordinated effort to discredit the Falun Gong community abroad and sabotage Shen Yun Performing Arts, a renowned American classical Chinese dance company. Leaked internal CCP information have outlined a range of the campaign’s tactics that have manifested themselves in the real world. Importantly, during the year, which also marked 25 years since the CCP launched its campaign against Falun Gong, many governments and prominent individuals publicly voiced their support for Falun Gong practitioners’ rights. Why does it matter? The CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong remains one of the most severe instances of large-scale religious persecution occurring in the world today, affecting millions of people. With the regime’s transnational repression and disinformation efforts intensifying and becoming more manipulative in 2024, the risks not only to Falun Gong practitioners but also to other CCP victim groups and even broader American society has grown.

Experiencing Miracles 🌻 falundafa.org 🌻 Hong is Chinese and an immigrant from Laos. He ran a Thai restaurant on Queensland’s Gold Coast more than 20 years ago. His business was successful and he enjoyed a happy family life. But he then had a cerebrovascular tumor and the complications from surgery caused memory loss and confusion. Because of this, he became frightened. Fortunately, Hong was able to practice Falun Dafa and Master Li repeatedly cleansed his body. “Very often after going asleep, I would feel a warm current circulating throughout my body. I was deeply moved because Master removed many bad substances from me,” he explained. Not long after that, all the symptoms from the surgery were gone. Hong became healthy, agile and energetic. Hong was grateful to participate in the character formation and group exercises because it helps more people to know about Falun Dafa. “This event also motivates me to be more diligent on the cultivation path. I hope the entire world can learn about Falun Dafa and Dafa’s positive impact on society, from moral improvement to physical health.” Sources: https://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2024/10/28/221392.html
