[Minghui.org] Quebec, Canada: A Falun Dafa Practitioner Finds Inner Peace and Joy

 Sept. 18, 2025 | By a Minghui correspondent in Toronto

“When I’m lost, Falun Dafa helps me see the light. I hope more people can experience the power of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The world is filled with fear and chaos, but as long as we strive to be kind and upright, there will be light amidst the darkness.”

(Minghui.org) Nicole said that she found inner peace and joy after she started practicing Falun Dafa 27 years ago.

Nicole, 77, lives in Quebec City, Canada, and ran a notary office before retiring.

One morning in 1997, Nicole’s husband woke up hearing the French word “cinabre” (“cinnabar” in English). He looked up the word on his computer and found a link to Mr. Li Hongzhi’s book, FalunGong, which contained the term. At the time, only three chapters of the book had been translated into French. He printed them out and showed them to Nicole.

Nicole was taken aback after reading them and excitedly asked her husband, “Who wrote this book? I must meet him!” When he told her that the author lived in China, Nicole dejectedly said, “It’s too far away.” Her husband told her there was a group in Montreal that practiced Falun Dafa, and Nicole instantly expressed her wish to meet them. This marked the beginning of her Falun Dafa practice.

Nicole participates in group exercise practice despite the light rain.

Nicole said she gained newfound calm after learning the practice. “I used to follow my emotions, swinging between guilt, and sadness over trivial matters. Dafa’s compassionate teachings taught me to deal with my emotions calmly. My heart is now filled with peace and joy. This change wasn’t deliberate, and just happened naturally over time as I practiced.”

High-Speed Shock and Near Accident

Nicole was driving on the highway one evening to pick her daughter up from college. Her daughter’s boyfriend was with her. Two large trucks were approaching in the opposite lane, when a small car traveling behind them decided to overtake them. The car drove into Nicole’s lane and headed directly towards her car. “The oncoming car’s glaring headlights blinded my eyes. We were both driving so fast that I had no time to react. I knew a fatal head-on collision was unavoidable.

“Then, the bright light zipped past the right side of my car. But that was impossible because there was no road on my right! I gripped the steering wheel, speechless and terrified. My daughter’s boyfriend woke up and asked what happened. My car was stalled on the highway. I knew in my heart that Master had protected us.”

The Man Who Stole Falun Gong Books

Nicole subsequently established a Falun Dafa practice site in Quebec City, and residents began coming to the site and learning how to practice. One man told Nicole how he loved the book FalunGong so much that he stole a copy from the library. Nicole explained that this was not in line with Falun Dafa’s teachings of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, since library books were meant for the community and not for personal use. She donated copies of Falun Gong and other Falun Dafa books to the library. While his actions were wrong, his enthusiasm encouraged Nicole to share the beauty of Falun Dafa with others.

Nicole hopes more Chinese and Westerners seize the opportunity to learn about Falun Dafa.

China Trip Makes International Headlines

Nicole happened read an article on the Minghui.org website in 2002 which described the brutal persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She was deeply saddened. “I wanted to do something, so I decided to visit Tiananmen Square in Beijing and display a banner with the words ‘Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance’ to express my support for Falun Dafa. A Montreal practitioner helped me write ‘China Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance’ in Chinese on a yellow cloth. I hid the banner in my clothes, ready to unfurl it in Tiananmen Square.”

A practitioner contacted a practitioner who lived in Beijing and gave Nicole the address. After arriving in Beijing, Nicole spent her first day at the practitioner’s home, before venturing out the next day with her host. The practitioner brought Nicole to Tiananmen Square where she familiarized herself with the place, before visiting a nearby park to view some Peking Opera performances. On the third day, Nicole went to Tiananmen Square alone to unfurl her banner.

Nicole did not realize that security checks had been set up at Tiananmen Square, because of the large number of Falun Dafa practitioners who came there to protest. During the security check a police officer opened Nicole’s backpack. While flipping through her French copy of Zhuan Falun, he came across the Chinese index at the back which revealed this to be a Falun Dafa book. Police officers surrounded Nicole and arrested her.

Nicole was taken to a police station and placed in a filthy cell with a gray bed. A police officer handed her a blanket, but instead of sleeping, she placed the blanket on the floor and meditated to calm her mind. “Despite my nervousness and difficult living conditions, I wasn’t afraid because I knew Master would protect me. A female officer saw my passport and gave the others a warning look that implied ‘don’t touch her,’ so the officers refrained from using forceful measures. I guess they were concerned about maintaining diplomatic relations with Canada.”

Despite the officers’ displeasure, Nicole refused to eat any of the prison food offered, as she had committed no crime. Feeling sorry for the young officers who were participating in the persecution without realizing the truth, Nicole urged them, “Please don’t harm Falun Dafa practitioners.” When she noticed a guard smoking, she advised him, “Smoking is bad for your health and for others. Please don’t smoke.” The officer stamped out his cigarette and even reminded the others not to smoke.

Nicole was deported by the Chinese Communist government the following day, and was greeted at the airport when she landed in Canada by her husband and seven media reporters. The story of a Canadian citizen wrongfully imprisoned in Beijing subsequently made international news.

Constantly Reflecting Internally to Resolve Conflicts

That summer Nicole’s brother offered to help her do some renovations. He soon spotted problems, forcefully expressed his opinions, and criticized Nicole’s decisions. She insisted on having her way, thinking, “After all, this is my home, my project, and my money.”

Her brother’s harsh words irritated her and the atmosphere became tense. As they argued, Nicole forgot she was a Falun Dafa practitioner and the cultivation standards she should uphold.

While studying Falun Dafa’s teachings, Nicole realized that she needed to stop striving to “win,” and should listen to her brother’s advice. “Once I let go of my attachment and stopped trying to prove myself, my brother’s attitude changed. He began asking me what I really wanted.”

After the renovations were finished Nicole and her brother had dinner together, and reminisced about their shared past before parting amicably.

“When I’m lost, Falun Dafa helps me see the light. I hope more people can experience the power of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The world is filled with fear and chaos, but as long as we strive to be kind and upright, there will be light amidst the darkness.”

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology.

【明慧网】魁北克女士修炼法轮大法 内心变得平和喜悦


妮可说,“当我陷入迷惑时,大法总是能让我豁然开朗。我感受到师父对我的慈悲。我希望人们能感受到真、善、忍的力量。这个世界充满恐惧和混乱,但只要我们努力做善良、正直的人,就能在黑暗中看到光明。”

【明慧网二零二五年九月五日】(明慧多伦多记者站报道)妮可(Nicole)在二十七年前开始修炼法轮大法,从此她开始感受内心的平静和喜悦。

优雅文静的妮可本应在当地享受这美好的修炼功法,可她为何一人前往北京天安门广场,为被中共非法迫害的法轮功发声,而遭到当地警察非法拘押,还因此登上了国际新闻。

一个不寻常的清晨

今年七十七岁的妮可女士在加拿大魁北克市生活,退休前,她曾经营一家公证事务所。

一九九七年的一个早晨,妮可的先生醒来时,耳边突然传来一个法语单词——“cinabre”(中文译为“朱砂”)。他很好奇,于是在电脑上搜索这个词,网页上出现了李洪志先生的《法轮功》书籍,因为书中也提到了朱砂。当时,这本书只有三个章节被译成法语。于是他将这三章打印下来,拿给妮可看。

书中的内容让妮可震惊不已,她激动地站起身来,对先生说:“这本书的作者是谁?在哪里?我一定要见他!”先生回答,作者在中国。妮可失落地说:“太远了。”接着,妮可先生告诉她,在蒙特利尔市有一个学法小组,您可以去参加,妮可毫不犹豫地答应了。就这样,她开始修炼法轮大法。

图1:即使下着细雨,妮可仍然参加集体炼功活动。

修炼后,妮可的内心变得平和。她说:“过去,我常常被情绪左右,为小事感到自责和悲伤。大法慈悲的教导让我感到无比温暖,我学会了平静的面对情绪,内心越来越安宁、喜悦。我没有刻意做任何改变,随着修炼自然而然发生了。”

高速惊魂 有惊无险

有天晚上,妮可开车去大学接女儿回家,女儿的男友也在车上。在高速公路上,对面车道驾驶来两辆大卡车。卡车后面的一辆小车想要超过卡车,变线后直接朝妮可冲来。妮可回忆:“那一刻,车灯的光芒刺入我的眼中,我完全来不及反应,因为双方车速都很快,几乎是迎面相撞的局面。我想这次肯定难逃一劫。”

妮可接着说:“这时,我看到一道亮光从我的车右边飞速掠过,但右边根本没有路!我双手紧握方向盘,惊魂未定。这时,女儿的男友醒来,问我发生了什么。我没有办法说话。我的车熄火,停在了高速上。但我内心明白,这一定是师父在保护我们,让我们平安无事。”

图2:妮可在加拿大魁北克市生活。

喜欢《法轮功》的偷书男士

随后,妮可在魁北克市成立了一个法轮功炼功点,来弘传功法。市里陆陆续续有人通过这个炼功点,开始学习法轮功。其中一位男士告诉妮可,他非常喜欢《法轮功》这本书,所以从图书馆偷了一本。妮可告诉他:这不符合真、善、忍的原理,图书馆里的书是给大家共用的,不能据为己有。后来,妮可又向图书馆捐赠了大法的书籍,补充了资源。妮可感到,虽然这位男士做错了,但他的热情反映了大法书籍的吸引力,也激励她继续分享大法的美好。

图3:妮可希望无论是中国人还是西方人,都有机会了解法轮大法。

中国历险经历 登上国际新闻

二零零二年,妮可在明慧网上读了关于中国法轮功学员遭受中共残酷迫害的文章,感到难过。她说,“我希望能为他们做点什么。于是,我决定去北京天安门广场,效仿其他学员展示写有真、善、忍的横幅,来表达对法轮功的支持。一位蒙特利尔学员帮我在一块黄色布条上用中文写下‘中国需要真、善、忍’,我将这块横幅藏在衣服里面,准备在天安门广场展开。”

在去北京之前,同修帮妮可联系了一位住在北京的法轮功学员,并给了妮可一个住处地址。妮可抵达北京后,第一天就在这位学员家休息。第二天,这位学员带妮可来到天安门广场附近,熟悉了路线,还到附近的公园听了当地人唱京剧。第三天,妮可独自前往天安门广场,准备展开横幅。

但是妮可不知道,在迫害开始后,由于许多法轮功学员去天安门广场请愿,广场已经设立了安检。在过安检时,警察打开了妮可的书包,翻开了她的法语《转法轮》,通过书籍末页的中文索引看出她是法轮功学员。突然,多名警察围住了妮可,逮捕了她。

妮可被带到警察局,关进一间脏兮兮的牢房,牢房里有一张灰色的床。警察递给她一条毯子,但她没有睡觉,而是用毯子垫在地上打坐,来平复自己的心。她说:“虽然环境艰难,我内心感到紧张,但并不害怕,因为我相信师父会保护我。一位女警看到我的护照后,做了一个‘不要动她’的眼神,警察也就没有对我施加暴力,我猜测因为我是加拿大人,他们顾忌与加拿大的外交关系。”

在警察局里,妮可拒绝食用监狱里的食物,因为她没有犯罪,警官对此表示不满。她为这些年轻的警察感到难过,因为他们参与迫害却不明白真相,妮可对他们说:“请不要伤害法轮功学员。”妮可还发现看守的警察抽烟,于是劝说道:“吸烟对你的身体不好,对他人也不好,请不要抽烟。”这名警察就把烟头踩灭了,还提醒其他警察不要抽烟。

第二天,妮可被中共政府驱逐出境。回加拿大后,在机场迎接妮可的除了她的先生,还有七位媒体记者。随后,一位加拿大公民在北京遭受非法监禁的故事登上了国际新闻。

修炼人时刻自省 化解冲突

今年夏天,妮可的哥哥主动提出帮她做一些装修。哥哥心灵手巧,能一眼看出问题所在。然而,他毫不掩饰地强加自己的意见,批评和决定一切。妮可面对这个情景,针锋相对,坚持要让自己的想法占上风。她想:毕竟这是我的家、我的工程和我的钱。

哥哥对妮可言语尖刻,气氛变得紧张。在争执的当口,妮可完全忘了自己是法轮功学员,应该高姿态。

通过学法,妮可意识到,必须停止争胜和控制的念头,学会倾听哥哥的建议,而不是每次都觉得他在攻击自己。妮可回忆,“当我放下执著,不再执意要证明自己时,哥哥的语气变了,开始询问我到底想要什么。”

在工程结束后,妮可和哥哥一起吃了晚餐,聊着往事,最后友好地告别了。

妮可说,“当我陷入迷惑时,大法总是能让我豁然开朗。我感受到师父对我的慈悲。我希望人们能感受到真、善、忍的力量。这个世界充满恐惧和混乱,但只要我们努力做善良、正直的人,就能在黑暗中看到光明。”

朋友,您知道吗?从1992年5月开始,到2010年底为止,法轮功已经传到114多个国家,在那里人们都可以自由自在的炼功…

可是,在中国,从1999年7月20日开始,江泽民因为妒忌法轮功人数众多,对法轮功恶毒的诽谤与迫害。社会上很多人听信了共产党媒体的宣传和煽动,对法轮功产生了很深的误解与仇恨。

最为恶劣的,是在2001年1月导演了一场所谓的”自焚”闹剧,并通过新华社以从未有过的速度向全世界散播,嫁祸法轮功。这场闹剧,后被包括服务于联合国的国际教育发展组织(IED)在内的多个国际组织认定为虚假编造。朋友,您愿意把法轮功真相与更多的人分享吗?

[Minghui.org] France: People in Dijon Condemn China’s Persecution of Falun Dafa

 Aug. 17, 2022 | By Minghui correspondent Zhou Wenying in France

Ms. Deutch works at a child care center. She said that the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa, “is inhumane, barbaric, and needs to be stopped. Live organ harvesting should be condemned. We cannot let it (the CCP) do anything it pleases!”

(Minghui.org) On Place François Rude in the center of the historic city of Dijon, practitioners told people about Falun Dafa and collected signatures on a petition to end the CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party) 23-year-long persecution of the spiritual practice on August 6, 2022.

Located in eastern France, Dijon is 310 km (193 miles) southwest of Paris. Once the capital of the Duchy of Burgundy, the city has a rich culture and is filled with historic architecture, including 100 churches.



Practitioners’ activity on the Place François Rude in the center of Dijon on August 6

The Place François Rude is a popular place on the weekends, with lights and music and a carousel. At their booth, practitioners distributed information and told people about Falun Dafa.

People were shocked to learn how the CCP persecutes practitioners in China, including removing organs from them while they are alive. Many people signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution and expressed their desire to help. Some even wanted to make a donation.

Jean-Pierre Bailly used to work at a hotel. After hearing about the CCP’s live organ harvesting, he said, “This is killing through torture. It is not something that a human being would do. This is 2022. In this modern day, this is not tolerable. No one has the right to do such a thing.” He encouraged practitioners to remain courageous and never give up.

Ms. Monique Muller signed the petition and said, “The CCP is cruel and is doing all sorts of bad things. This is not something that a human being would do. China does not have freedom so people cannot express their thoughts. If they speak their own thoughts, they will be massacred. Things are like that in China.”

Ms. Deutch works at a child care center. She said that the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa, “is inhumane, barbaric, and needs to be stopped. Live organ harvesting should be condemned. We cannot let it (the CCP) do anything it pleases!”

Ms. Murielle Mignet commented, “All this happened because of money. I can imagine that live organ harvesting has been going on all the while in China. Exposing it is very good. Expose those people behind it who are making use of organ transactions to make a profit. This must be stopped!”

Computer engineer Mr. Hichem works in Canada but was in France on holiday. He heard about Falun Dafa in Canada and said, “Live organ harvesting is a shameful scandal. It is shocking!”

Background: What Is Falun Dafa and Why Is the CCP Persecuting It?

Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China, in 1992. The spiritual discipline is now practiced in over 100 countries and regions worldwide. Millions of people who have embraced the teachings, which are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and have learned the five exercises have experienced improved health and well-being.

Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology, and on July 20, 1999, he issued an order to eradicate the practice.

Under Jiang’s personal direction, the CCP established the 610 Office, an extralegal security organization with the power to override the police and judicial systems and whose sole function is to carry out the persecution of Falun Dafa.

Minghui.org has confirmed the deaths of thousands of practitioners as a result of the persecution over the past 23 years. The actual number is believed to be much higher. Countless practitioners have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith.

There is concrete evidence that the CCP sanctions the harvesting of organs from detained practitioners, who are murdered to supply China’s organ transplant industry.

【明慧网】在法国历史名城传播法轮功真相


莫妮克·穆勒(Monique Muller)女士签字后表示,“中共残忍,做尽坏事,是非人的行为。中国没有自由,人们不能表达自己想法,如果说出自己的想法,会遭到屠杀,就是这样。”

【明慧网二零二二年八月十一日】(明慧记者周文英法国采访报道)法国东部城市第戎(Dijon)位于巴黎东南部,相距三百一十公里。在历史上(九世纪至十五世纪)曾经是勃艮第公国(Le duché de Bourgogne )的首都,是百钟(教堂)之城,拥有丰富的历史文化和建筑遗产。

二零二二年八月六日,在第戎市中心弗朗索瓦·汝德广场(Place François Rude),法轮功学员进行了讲真相和征签的活动。

图1~4:二零二二年八月六日,在法国东部城市第戎市中心弗朗索瓦·汝德广场,向人们讲述法轮功真相。

广场上旋转木马轻快的音乐、孩子们的笑语声、穿梭往来的人流,交织成一片和平的景象。而处在其中的法轮功展台,法轮功学员在安静地递发传单,讲述法轮功真相。人们想不到,在地球的另一边,掩藏着中共对法轮功的迫害,其迫害手段残酷恶劣,无奇不有,酷刑、活摘器官……

得知中共的迫害行径,人们对媒体的置若罔闻感到愤慨。人们在反迫害征签表上签字后,都想帮助法轮功学员,有的人要捐款。

让-皮埃尔·贝利(Jean-Pierre Bailly)曾在旅馆工作,对中共的活摘器官,他说:“这是虐杀,是非人的行为,二零二二年的今天,这是不能容忍的。人没有权力对他人做出这样的事情。”他鼓励法轮功学员鼓起勇气,坚持下去,决不放弃。

莫妮克·穆勒(Monique Muller)女士签字后表示,“中共残忍,做尽坏事,是非人的行为。中国没有自由,人们不能表达自己想法,如果说出自己的想法,会遭到屠杀,就是这样。”

德奇(Deutch)女士在托儿所工作。她说,中共对法轮功的迫害,“是非人的,野蛮的,是要禁止的。活摘器官,这是应该谴责的,应该战胜的,不能任其所为!”

穆里埃勒·米涅(Murielle Mignet)表达了她的愤慨:“一切都是为了钱,我可以想象得到,在中国活摘器官一直都有,揭露这些很好,揭露背后的那些利用器官贩卖的人,一定要停止这些!”

伊榭慕(Hichem)是计算机工程师。在加拿大工作,回法国度假。在加拿大他就知道法轮功了。他说:“活摘器官是可耻的丑闻,很令人震惊,这是显然的。”
