[Minghui.org] The Voice of Falun Gong is Heard in New York

May 16, 2016

Saleem was a police officer on duty in front of the Chinese consulate. Over the course of three hours, he watched the Falun Gong group sit peacefully, with no noise but the beautiful exercise music.
He said that he has seen a lot of thing during his 25 years of service, yet what he saw this day is truly rare. “This is a great practice,” he said.

(Minghui.org) New Yorkers saw Falun Gong practitioners at every corner in Manhattan last week as they celebrated the 17th World Falun Dafa Day. One of the biggest wishes the 9,000 practitioners from all over the world have is for more people to learn what Falun Gong really is, as they call for help to stop the persecution in China.

Persistent Despite the Rain

Falun Gong practitioners assembled en masse outside the Chinese Consulate for a few hours each evening last week to protest the persecution that continues in China.

It was cold and rainy on Friday. Passersby were surprised to see practitioners continuing their exercises in the rain. An hour later, the sun came out, and many people asked practitioners about Falun Gong and their experiences.

*Scenes from Friday evening protest outside the Chinese Consulate in New York*

Sinikka Suontakanen, 65, from Finland, started practicing Falun Gong in 2000 after reading the book Zhuan Falun (the main book of Falun Gong). “I consider myself very lucky that I found the practice of Falun Gong,” Sinikka said.

*Sinikka hopes that practitioners in China will soon again have the freedom to practice Falun Gong*

“Before I started practicing Falun Gong, I always blamed others whenever I had conflicts. I was exhausted,” she explained.

“Falun Gong teaches people to look inward for our own problems when we have conflicts. I strive always to do so… I feel that I am walking on the right path,” she said.

Sinikka wants the consular officials to understand that they should not follow the Party’s official policy of persecution. “Do no evil, that is what I want to tell them,” she said.

24-year old Marco D’lppolito from Rome shared an interesting personal experience.

“It was two years ago, in July. A thought came into my mind out of nowhere that I should try meditation. I had never tried it before. I thought that meditation should be done in a park, so I went to Park Villa Torlonia close to my home, where I saw a group of people meditating.”

“I didn’t want to interfere with them, so I watched and imitated them from a distance. Amazingly, as soon as I started imitating their movement, I felt a strong beam of energy rushing into my body. That was a feeling that I never had before.”

“One of them invited me to join them, and that is how I started practicing Falun Gong,” Marco smiled, “That summer, many wonderful things happened to me.”

“I started to read Zhuan Falun a few months later, where I found answers to questions I had long been looking for… It helps me to improve myself,” he said.

New Yorkers Witness the Beauty of Falun Gong

*Jonathan Franco (left) and Eli Susser (right), reporters from People TV*

Jonathan Franco and Eli Susser took a lot of photos of practitioners. Their supervisor at People TV studio saw practitioners in front of the Chinese consulate on Thursday, and learned about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Today, he assigned Jonathan and Eli here to cover the story.

They remarked that the messages from Falun Gong are encouraging and make people think.

*Saleem, a 9/11 hero, said Falun Gong is a great practice*

Saleem was a police officer on duty in front of the Chinese consulate. Over the course of three hours, he watched the Falun Gong group sit peacefully, with no noise but the beautiful exercise music.

He said that he has seen a lot of thing during his 25 years of service, yet what he saw this day is truly rare. “This is a great practice,” he said.

Talking to People About Falun Gong Around the City

*Practitioners talk to locals and tourists about Falun Gong and the persecution in China*

Evan Magaeniten, a financial analyst, saw the Falun Gong event from his office window and wanted to find out what was going on.

He never heard about Falun Gong, but he knew that meditation is good for health. Being persecuted for peacefully meditating is ridiculous, he said.

He was shocked when he learned about the state-sanctioned organ harvesting in China. “This is massacre, and I am strongly against any form of massacre.”

He took a lot of pictures and video footage to post on Facebook.

A Chinese couple from Beijing watched practitioners’ event at Bowling Green Park for a long time.

“We know clearly about the evil nature of the communist party,” the couple touring in New York said. “We are Christians, and the Party also persecutes Christians, though not as severely as they persecute Falun Gong.”

“The Party has done a lot of evil things, and the heaven will one day punish it.” The couple was happy to have a chance to quit the Party with practitioners’ help.

Adil and his mother from India were on vacation in New York. He was attracted to the group exercises in Bowling Green Park.

*Adil wants to learn more about Falun Gong*

Adil asked practitioners to pose for a photo with him. “These people are full of bright energy. I like the exercises a lot. They make people relax. I will come back to learn them myself.”

【明慧网】此处无声胜有声（图）

——法轮功学员纽约中领馆前炼功

警官萨利姆（Saleem）先生是当天值勤的警官之一，他在三个小时中看到了法轮功学员在风雨中安静地炼功，没有喧哗，有的只有祥和的炼功音乐。萨利姆先生在纽约警局服务已有二十五年了。他警服的右胸前挂着一长串的警衔和徽记，这些记载着他曾经出身入死，救人于危难。他指着写有WTO的徽记说：“这个表示我在911那天在世贸大厦做过救援工作。”他微笑着说：“我在纽约当了二十五年的警察，看到过千奇百怪的事，但是今天这个事，这个功法很伟大！”

【明慧网二零一六年五月十五日】（明慧记者舒静、兰铃纽约报道）二零一六年五月十三日傍晚，天空乌云密布，冷风中夹带着雨水，纽约中领馆前，一群法轮功学员在风雨中坚持炼功，抗议中共迫害。

这些法轮功学员们来自不同的国家和城市，有十几岁的少年，也有八十多岁的长者。他们的共同心愿是：制止中共对法轮功的迫害，还修炼人自由炼功的权利。一个多小时后，太阳拨开乌云，阳光洒在大地。

五月十三日前后，来自世界五十三个国家的近万法轮功学员相聚在纽约，庆祝法轮大法洪传二十四周年和第十七届世界法轮大法日。纽约城从五月十一日至十五日有着各种多彩的庆祝活动。在这期间，每天傍晚五点至八点都有法轮功学员来到纽约的中领馆前炼功，抗议中共迫害，声援在中国大陆被剥夺自由炼功权利的同修。

西方人纯真的愿望

图5：西妮卡·苏昂达卡能（Sinikka Suontakanen）希望在中国的同修能有象她一样自由炼功的权利

风雨中，来自芬兰的西妮卡•苏昂达卡能（Sinikka Suontakanen）女士静静地与许多法轮功学员站在一起，在过去的十六年中，她经常出现在法轮功学员和平请愿的活动中。她的心愿是：“我希望让中领馆的人知道有那么多的人修炼法轮功，了解修炼人的善良，不要跟着江泽民做坏事！”

苏昂达卡能女士今年六十五岁，是一位退休的特殊儿童教育助理。二零零零年一个看似偶然的机缘使她开始修炼法轮功。她说：“我在看了《转法轮》后，觉得这本书很特别，自那时起每次拜读都有相同的感觉。我觉得能在大法中修炼很幸运。”

芬兰是世界发达国家，国民享有高标准的生活品质，良好的福利制度使生活在这里的人民衣食、教育及医药无忧。尽管如此，苏昂达卡能女士依然觉得生活在贫乏之中，她解释说：“在修炼前我遇到问题总是向外看，找别人的错，过得很累，我说的贫乏是指精神上的贫乏”。她接着说：“修炼法轮大法后我懂得了遇到不顺心的事时要查找自己的问题，我学会了向我自己的内心查找问题所在，我现在觉得精神上很富有，什么都不缺，每天都象是一个奇迹，觉得自己走在正确的人生路上。”她带着感激地说：“所有一切都来自于《转法轮》。所以我一遍又一遍地拜读，每当读书的时候，总也不想放下，好象永远也不会厌倦”。

在中领馆前，苏昂达卡能女士最想对那些依然被江泽民利用、助纣为虐的领馆工作人员说的是：“不要再做坏事！”

人群中有一位满头卷发的年轻小伙子，他双目微闭，好象完全置身于喧嚣的车喇叭和船笛声外。他是来自意大利首都罗马，二十四岁的马可•德伊帕理杜（Marco D’lppolito）。

图6：马可·德伊帕理杜（Marco D’lppolito）在纽约中领馆前展示法轮大法的美好

马可两年前开始修炼法轮功，这次来纽约是来参加纽约国际法会和与全世界的大法弟子一起庆祝世界法轮大法日。今天他选择来中领馆炼功发正念，向中领馆的工作人员和世人展现大法的美好。

马可谈到了他得法的神奇经历：“两年前七月的一天，我忽发奇想，我想要自己试一试双盘打坐。我过去从来没有尝试过类似的事情。想象中我觉得练习双盘应该去一个公园才对，我就去了在我家附近的位于罗马东南部的托洛尼亚别墅花园（Park Villa Torlonia）。在那里我看到有些人正在那里打坐，我怕影响他们，就在离他们远一些的地方照着他们的动作比划起来。”这一比划非同小可：“我感受到一股强烈的能量，这是我过去从来没有体验过的。”“后来那些打坐的人中的一个人走过来邀请我与他们一起炼，就这样我开始了修炼法轮功。”马克眼里带着笑说：“那年的夏天在我身上发生了许多事，美好的事”。

几个月后马可开始阅读《转法轮》，他发现《转法轮》上所讲的东西是他一直在寻找的：“我从小时候就开始寻找能够真正得到自我提升的方法。我觉得《转法轮》中说的都是真正的道理，是真正能够得到自我提升的方法。我以前觉得我明白事理，知道对错，但是修炼大法后我明白了我实际上并不知道真正的对错。”对于修炼马克的理解是：“就目前而言，我的最大挑战是改变自己为私的思维方式。”

修炼后马可放弃了他原先的职业，选择了去大学的中文系学习中文。他的愿望是：“希望能够更多地了解中国文化，更希望有一天能用中文阅读法轮大法的书籍，同时能够以学到的中文知识为社会服务”。

见证法轮大法的美好

江泽民一意孤行在中国迫害法轮功，持续至今已近十七年。残酷迫害没有改变法轮功学员对“真善忍”信仰的坚守，越来越多的人认识到中共邪恶的本质，加入控告江泽民的行列。至今年五月为止，法轮功学员、亲属、以及正义人士等二十多万人向中国最高检察院、最高法院递交了控告书，控告江泽民犯下的群体灭绝罪及反人类罪。

来自芝加哥的法轮功学员杨先生表示：“参加这样的（抗议迫害）活动是必须的。法轮功倡导真善忍，做好人没有错，法轮功是正法”。他谈到自己及家人修炼法轮功身心受益的体验，修炼法轮功使他与家人身体健康，开启智慧。今年他已八十一岁了，他的父亲在这个年龄时，需要坐轮椅了，而他是修炼者，精力充沛，他不但不需别人帮助，他还帮助别人，并参加很多法轮功讲真相活动。

他还谈到今天来参与活动的很多学员中有没准备雨衣的，雨水浸湿了全身，但仍在雨中坚持着。

了解真相的人们说：“这个功法很伟大！”

图7：乔纳森·佛朗哥（Jonathan Franco）（左）和埃利·苏瑟（Eli Susser）觉得法轮功既鼓舞人心又发人深省

活动现场，一位年轻人拿着相机在认真地寻找角度，也找法轮功学员了解功法。他的名字叫埃利•苏瑟（Eli Susser）。埃利和搭档乔纳森•佛朗哥（Jonathan Franco）奉老板之命到这里来了解法轮功，同时做一个报道。他们说：“我们来自Peoples TV，这是一个创意工作室，我们为企业或机构制作一些视频。我们的老板昨天骑车路过这里，听到了关于法轮功学员在中国遭到迫害，特别是关于法轮功学员器官被中共活摘的事，他知道你们今天还会来，就派我们来这里多了解一些，同时做一个报道。”

对眼前的场面，埃利和乔纳森异口同声地说：“鼓舞人心，发人深省！”他们希望能与不同领域的法轮功学员接触，作出深入报道。

图8：萨利姆（Saleem）见证法轮功学员的平和，他说：“这是一个非常好的功法！”

警官萨利姆（Saleem）先生是当天值勤的警官之一，他在三个小时中看到了法轮功学员在风雨中安静地炼功，没有喧哗，有的只有祥和的炼功音乐。萨利姆先生在纽约警局服务已有二十五年了。他警服的右胸前挂着一长串的警衔和徽记，这些记载着他曾经出身入死，救人于危难。他指着写有WTO的徽记说：“这个表示我在911那天在世贸大厦做过救援工作。”他微笑着说：“我在纽约当了二十五年的警察，看到过千奇百怪的事，但是今天这个事，这个功法很伟大！”

有些路人接到传单后，专注阅读，并且询问什么是法轮功，在场的值勤警察马上代替法轮功学员回答：就是一种打坐的功法，还有冲灌，一边说一边比划着冲灌的动作。

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] Ms. Wu Meiyan Dies After Nine Years of Brutal Treatment in Heilongjiang Province (Photos)

August 28, 2008

Ms. Wu Meiyan’s stomach was bleeding due to brutal force-feeding. She also coughed up blood, and was very emaciated. She weighed 140 pounds before entering prison, and less than 100 pounds at the time of her release.

(Clearwisdom.net) On August 19, 2008, Ms. Wu Meiyan died after nine years of severe persecution. Her 76-year-old mother is still detained for practicing Falun Gong, and her husband, also a practitioner, has been locked up in Jiamusi City Prison for nearly seven years, and is still not aware of the death of his wife.

Ms. Wu Meiyan was employed by the Archive Department at the Hegang City No. Thirteen (Military) Factory. In 1994, she was diagnosed with oral cancer. Ms Wu then started reading Zhuan Falun, and before she finished reading the book, her cancer had disappeared. From then on, she continued to elevate her mind and body by practicing Falun Dafa. On July 20, 1999, the Communist Party started its vicious persecution of Falun Gong. Ms. Wu Meiyan was arrested and detained in Hegang City’s First Detention Center from February 5 to September 11, 2000.

On April 21, 2002, she was arrested again, and detained at Hegang City Second Detention Center. In May 2002, guards (all male) shackled 50 female practitioners’ ankles and wrists together with 2.5-foot long metal bars. They couldn’t stand up or lie down because of this. They were not allowed to close their eyes, otherwise the prisoners who were assigned to watch them would hit them with shoe soles, clubs, or pour cold water on them. All 50 practitioners, including Ms. Wu, were subjected to this torture even while eating. They had to eat on the floor with both of their legs spread apart. When they had to relieve themselves, three prisoners would lift their bodies up to allow them to go on the floor, and remove the excrement afterward, without actually cleaning the floor. Many ladies’ buttocks became covered with festering sores. When Ms. Wu Meiyan was released from this torture, her mind was no longer clear, and her buttocks still had scars up until the day she passed away.

In 2002, Ms. Wu’s husband was sentenced to nine years in prison, and charged with the “crime” of tapping into the TV system to broadcast the truth about Falun Gong. Ms. Wu was also sentenced to three years in prison. Her husband has been jailed in Jiamusi City Prison, and she was jailed in Heilongjiang Province Women’s Prison in Harbin City. She was subjected to unimaginable tortures during those three years.

In September 2003, while Ms. Wu was detained in the Eighth Ward, the practitioners had group exercise to protest the persecution. For this they were tied with ropes to the head of their beds, and made to sit on the floor. Warden Zhang Chunhua kicked them in their faces, all over their bodies, and stomped on their feet while wearing high heels. Prisoners were encouraged to brutally punch and kick practitioners. After torturing them like this for two whole days, on September 8, 2003, the prison director organized more than 40 guards and officers from all offices join in the tortures together. They first tricked practitioners into going to an empty piece of ground in front of the male prison cells, and then forced the practitioners to run in a circle. More than 40 officers and guards standing outside the circle held batons, electric batons, cuffs, sticks, bamboo sticks, white plastic tubes, and half-filled water bottles. They hit practitioners as they ran by them. If a practitioners ran slower, she would be hit more. Regardless of age, old or young, sick or well, all were forced to run. If any practitioners passed out or collapsed, a clinic employee would force-feed her with drugs on the spot until the practitioner regained consciousness, then force her to run again. Those who could no longer run were forced to squat holding their heads, or “riding an airplane” (1) while being shocked with electric batons. After such a day, practitioners were deprived of drinking water, and they still had to face a horrifying night – prisoners call it “demon pass.” Some prisoners were incited to make sure practitioners didn’t go to sleep, they would pry open their eye lids with toothpicks, and shoot water into their eyes, or poke a needle into their feet or toes, and use wooden boards hit them in the face or mouth. Prisoners used a six-foot-long bamboo stick to beat whoever dared to go to sleep. After 11 days of such inhuman torture, Ms. Wu Meiyan and some other practitioners’ minds had become foggy.

On March 10, 2004, more than twenty practitioners protested being locked in a small cell (2) by refusing to wear the prison uniforms. Guard Zhang Chunhua took more than twenty prisoners, stripped practitioners in the cell, humiliating Ms. Wu Meiyan and others.

Ms. Wu Meiyan’s stomach was bleeding due to brutal force-feeding. She also coughed up blood, and was very emaciated. She weighed 140 pounds before entering prison, and less than 100 pounds at the time of her release. She had difficulty breathing. Doctors found that she only had one working lung, with two holes on the remaining lung. The prison didn’t allow her to be treated at all during the three-year term. Many hospitals refused to accept her for treatment, because her condition was incurable.

Ms. Wu’s home no longer existed after these three years in prison. Her husband was still in prison, her 16-year-old child was living at a relatives’ home, all her family belongings had been stolen, and her house was sold at a very low price. Her younger sister came from a far away city to take her to her home, and she said, “My sister’s oral cancer was cured by practicing Falun Gong. She can recover again.” After eight months in her sister’s home, Ms. Wu Meiyan truly recovered, and her weight increased to 110 pounds, and her energy came back, so she returned to Hegang City.

The police in Hegang City began a new round of persecution using the Olympics as an excuse. They repeatedly harassed, threatened, and arrested all practitioners that they knew of. Ms. Wu Meiyan’s 76-year-old mother was arrested at home, and the police stole all of their belongings, no matter whether they were related to Falun Gong or not.The police said they would not release her mother because she had Falun Dafa books in her home, and she declared that she is still practicing Falun Gong, which is “against the law.” Although there is no such law, they said, “Upper levels don’t allow anyone to practice, so whoever dares to practice is violating the law.”

After being threatened and harassed, Ms. Wu Meiyan almost mentally collapsed. She begged to be allowed to see her husband once more, but Jiamusi Prison authorities refused her request, using the excuse of “Olympic security.” Ms. Wu had no resources to live on. Her husband has been in prison for such a long time, her mother had also been arrested, and the police stole almost all their possessions. Under such pressure of financial, spiritual, and mental persecution, Ms. Wu’s health was in crisis. She died on August 19, 2008.

Notes:

(1) Riding an airplane – In this torture, the head is bent down until it cannot go down any further, while the hands are pulled up and held up to the highest point. One is forced to keep this position unchanged for a long time. The body in this position looks like the shape of an airplane, which is what this torture is named after. See illustration on http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/9/29/52921.html. 

(2) Small cell – The detainee is locked up in a very small cell individually. The guards handcuff practitioners hand behind their backs in a fixed position, in which the practitioners can neither move nor lie down. The small cell is very damp with no sunlight. Detainees have to urinate and defecate in the cell. Only half of a regular meal is served to detainees locked up in a small cell during the daytime. During the night, rats often scurry about the cell. The stench in the small cell is so bad that it is difficult to breathe.
