December 24, 2006 | By Falun Dafa practitioners from Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) For the past five years, jails in Taiwan have welcomed the teachings of Falun Gong. One jail invited practitioners to give a nine-day class this March. Twenty-four prisoners took part in the class and benefited from Dafa. Below is the experience sharing of three prisoners after practicing Falun Dafa.
A Wei: I have the standard of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance in my heart to judge things
When the jail started offering Falun Gong nine-day classes, I thought it was another course for chatting and sports. However, after I started the class, I found I was wrong. What was Master Li talking about? I did not understand at the beginning. However, gradually I started to understand a little bit. What Master Li said is not something out of Arabian Nights (or myths), for there is evidence for it.
I was an atheist before. It was not because I did not want to believe in anything, but because some religion’s words were not acceptable to me. After taking part in the Falun Dafa class, after studying and sharing experiences and listening to the senior practitioners’ experiences, I gradually came to accept it.
After I came to this class, the biggest change was my attitude about getting along with other people. Before, within three sentences I would say dirty words, but not now. In addition, I have experienced many changes in my mind-nature. Now I have the standard of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance in my heart, and I often use this ruler to measure my behavior.
The Falun Dafa class really helped me greatly. I think I should pass the goodness of Dafa on to more people so it can benefit more people.
A Cai: Falun Dafa is miraculous
When I started to have contact with Falun Gong, I heard that Falun Gong could cure all diseases. I could not understand, and I did not believe it. Later, I joined the nine-day class. After finishing Master Li’s nine lectures, I came to know more about the Buddha Fa and the Falun Gong exercises.
Because I have spondylitis, a pressure on my right foot’s nerve, I could not stand for long. Sometimes it was difficult to walk. I listened to practitioners’ sharing, tried hard to study Dafa, and practiced the five sets of exercises often. Gradually I was able to stand longer, walk further, and my back could straighten up. I could not help asking myself, “Is Master Li helping me?”
Although I never believed in supernormal things, I now believe sincerely in the power of Falun Dafa. I feel lucky that I have the predestined relationship to acquire this Dafa. Although it is not convenient for prisoners to practice the exercises, I take time to study the Fa when I am free. We only have the opportunity to practice the exercises on Fridays. I treasure this time very much.
I sincerely hope that we new practitioners can also study Dafa hard so as to spread the practice from one to ten, and from ten to one hundred people. That way, all people could come to practice Falun Dafa. I hope that such a miraculous Dafa can spread further forever.
A Zhang: I love Falun Gong
During my prison time, due to a kind of predestined relationship, and also due to my curiosity, I took part in the Falun Gong nine-day class. My first idea was to listen to what those volunteers would talk about so that I could have some activity and relax my body.
At the beginning of the class, I only had the thought of fishing in troubled water. After four to five days, my feeling gradually changed. I cannot express my new feeling. Above all, Falun Gong has melted into my life, and Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance have become the clear objective of my behavior.
As I continued to take part in the Falun Dafa seminar, I only have one word to express it, and that is “happiness.” During discussions since the seminar, the words said by Falun Gong practitioners will always untie some knot in my heart. Thereafter, my emotional state will be much better for a whole week. Every day now I look forward to the coming of Friday. Maybe it is because Master Li gives excellent lectures, maybe it is because practitioners give good directions, maybe it is because I have an inborn wisdom quality, maybe …
I wish the jail could extend the Falun Gong seminar. I sincerely hope that more prisoners with troubled hearts can come take part in the class. They will have unexpected gains.
Here I want to thank the jail for opening up this convenient door. I also thank Falun Gong practitioners’ warm hearts and efforts. Finally, I want to say: Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance is good!

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.
