Jan. 9, 2023 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Ireland
(Minghui.org) January 2, 2023 is a public holiday in Ireland. That day, Falun Dafa practitioners went to St. Stephen Green Park in the center of Dublin and did the Dafa exercises. Local practitioners also practice together there every Sunday and teach the exercises to the public.
Although the weather was cold, the air was fresh and the sun was shining. Many people stopped to watch. Some took pictures, and others wanted to learn the exercises.
Victoria is a Dubliner who joined the practitioners in the park a few months ago. She said, “The first time I did the exercises, I felt that Falun Dafa was so peaceful and the exercises were so gentle.” So she started practicing Falun Dafa. She said that her life has changed a lot these past few months.
She said that before she began practicing Falun Dafa she was sometimes depressed, and frequently worried about trivial things. After solving one problem, she would worry about the next one. After she began practicing Dafa she became more cheerful and began to actively face her problems. Now she feels that her life is flourishing and full of sunshine every day.
Luke and Filipe were strolling through the park and stopped to talk with practitioners. Practitioner Michael showed them the exercises and explained that the book Zhuan Falun guides practitioners in their daily lives. Luke and Filipe then did the exercises with the other practitioners.
After doing the exercises, the young men talked about their experiences. Luke said he was a native Dubliner. He’s seen practitioners on the street before, and he was very interested in learning more about Falun Dafa. After he did the full set of exercises for two hours he said he felt, “comfortable, with strong energy, and that this practice was clean.” He said that the fifth exercise, the meditation, was difficult for him, but he persisted and did all five exercises.
Luke said he was really happy to be able to persevere and do all the exercises. “I often suffer from insomnia, and I will definitely have a good night’s sleep after doing the exercises today,” he said.
Felipe is from Brazil said that he felt peaceful and relaxed after doing the exercises. “This is the first time I’ve heard of Falun Dafa. I finished all five exercises. I could do the full lotus position when we meditated.” He said he was happy to learn the exercises, and said he felt peaceful and relaxed afterwards.
Background: What Is Falun Dafa?
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.

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.

Most Recent Place of Detention: Yunnan Province No.1 Prison
An 86-year-old Kunming City, Yunnan Province resident died on January 4, 2023, days before he finished serving a four-year term for practicing Falun Gong.
Mr. Li Peigao retired from Yunnan Construction Installation Company as a senior engineer in 1994 and lived alone. Shortly after he learned Falun Gong in March 1996, his chronic diarrhea of over 20 years and the swelling and inflammation of his prostate disappeared. He followed the teachings of Falun Gong, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and became completely healthy and energetic.
After the Chinese communist regime began to persecute Falun Gong in July 1999, Mr. Li was repeatedly targeted for his faith. He was held in a brainwashing center three times, arrested a dozen times, and had his home ransacked seven times. When he wasn’t incarcerated, the police monitored and followed him, tapped his phone, and summoned him for questioning.
Mr. Li’s latest sentencing resulted from his arrest on November 26, 2015 together with two other practitioners, Ms. Ji Fuxian and Ms. He Shuangfeng. Due to his advanced age, he was soon released on bail.
The Xishan District Court held a joint hearing of all three practitioners’ cases on September 8, 2016. Mr. Li recounted how his chronic diarrhea disappeared after practicing Falun Gong and that he tried to be a good person by following Falun Gong’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The judge kept interrupting him and didn’t allow him to finish. He was sentenced to four years on October 8, 2016. Mr. Li appealed with the Kunming City Intermediate Court, which ruled to uphold his original verdict.
The police arrested Mr. Li two more times, on September 15 and November 24, 2018, respectively, for distributing informational materials about Falun Gong. The police ransacked his home both times and released him hours later.
Mr. Li handed out Falun Gong calendars and pamphlets to others in late November 2018. Officers from Jinbilu Police Station arrested him on November 24 that year. He was released the same evening after officers from Xishan Domestic Security Office ransacked his home.
He was taken to the Yunnan Province Prison to serve time in January 2019 and denied family visitation since.
According to inmates who were released before him, Mr. Li had good health in the prison and it was shocking that he suddenly died, just days before he was to be released. The prison claimed that he died of illness, but didn’t provide any further information to his family.
Past Persecution
A few days after the persecution started, three officers took Mr. Li to Xiba Police Station when he did the Falun Gong exercises outdoors on July 24, 1999. He refused to stop practicing Falun Gong after an officer from Kunming Police Department warned him to renounce his faith. The officer took him home and confiscated his Falun Gong books and exercise tapes.
Two officers broke into Mr. Li’s home when he was meditating in the evening of October 28, 1999. They took him to Xiba Police Station to interrogate him and forced him to sign the deposition.
An officer from Wuhua District Police Department summoned Mr. Li seven times in October 1999 and interrogated him. One time three officers went to his home to question if he still practiced Falun Gong.
Two officers from Kunming City Police Department ransacked his place on November 8, 2000, and confiscated his exercise tape.
Several officers from Binchuan County Police Department in Dali City arrested Mr. Li when he told others about the persecution on March 27, 2001. They interrogated him, ransacked his place, and locked him in Binchuan County Detention Center for a month. He only got to go home after his family paid the officers 2,000 yuan.
Two officers from Kunming City Police Department broke into his home one day in May 2002, and wrote a search warrant right then and there. With the warrant they ransacked his home for three hours. They confiscated his Falun Gong books and literature, a notebook computer, and an audio player. They took him to the police department and two doctors took his blood pressure. His blood pressure became extremely high and he passed out while using the restroom. The police insisted that his blood pressure was stable and interrogated him until midnight. He went home that day but the next few days the officers continued coming to his home to harass him and search his home.
An official from his former employer came to his home and arbitrarily announced that he’d take “temporary custody” of him. Mr. Li had to report to the official if he wanted to leave home. This lasted over a year.
Mr. Li’s former employer, officials from the residential commission, and officers from Wuhua District Domestic Security worked together to put him in a brainwashing center three times in Hangkong Nursing Home in Kunming City.
The Wuhua District 610 Office ordered Mr. Li’s former employer to take him to a nursing home in August 2001. The head of the 610 Office held a ten-day brainwashing session in the nursing home, and twelve Falun Gong practitioners were forced to attend. The practitioners were forced to watch videos that slandered Falun Gong.
Mr. Li’s former coworkers worked with people from the Zhuantang Residential Commission to take him to the nursing home again in August 2003. The practitioners there all attended the previous brainwashing session and refused to renounce Falun Gong.
The 610 Office, Wuhua Procuratorate, and Wuhua Domestic Security Office held a nine-day brainwashing session in the nursing home in July 2005. They coerced Mr. Li to attend.
During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese communist regime launched a mass arrest of Falun Gong practitioners. Officers from the Daguan Police Station and Wuhua District Domestic Security went to Mr. Li’s home on the evening of June 21, 2008, pretending to want to learn the Falun Gong exercises. One officer dragged him into his bedroom, while the other officers called in a dozen more officers to ransack his place. They confiscated his Falun Gong books, computer, two printers, paper cutters, an e-book reader, and a mobile hard drive. A prosecutor indicted him, and a judge in Kunming City Intermediate Court sentenced him to three years in prison in 2009.
When Mr. Li gave out DVDs with information about Falun Gong in May 2012, he happened to give one to a plainclothes officer. The officer took him to the Chongren Police Station to interrogate him. Other officers ransacked his place. He was released one hour later.
Mr. Li’s next arrest was on March 8, 2013 after being reported for distributing Falun Gong materials. He was released on bail after his family paid a 1,000-yuan bond.
He was arrested again on May 1, 2013, also for distributing Falun Gong materials. He was interrogation in the police station for hours.

May 28, 2021 | By Xiao Yun, a Falun Dafa practitioner in China
(Minghui.org) I have practiced Falun Dafa for 23 years. My older sister and her daughter are Dafa practitioners too. My niece’s son developed a stubborn skin disease when he was only a few days old. His mom and grandma kept playing Master’s audio lectures to him and the disease was gone when he turned one.
In honor of the 22nd World Falun Dafa Day on May 13, 2021, I’d like to share my grandnephew’s story to express our deep gratitude to Master.
7-Month-Old Suffered a Severe Skin Disease
Within a few days after my niece gave birth to her son, some red bumps began to appear on the boy’s body. My niece and her husband did not pay close attention in the beginning. Later, the condition became more and more serious, and the child was so tormented by the intense itch on his skin that he rarely slept and cried day and night.
As time went on, bumps grew all over his body, on the head, face, hands, feet, stomach, back, and even on his genitals. Anyone who looked at it would have been scared. The bumps oozed out fluid and wherever it flew, new bumps would grow. The broken skin would form thick scabs. The scabs fell off layer by layer. After the thick scabs dried up, it would crack and ooze out blood.
In late March 2020, when the baby was seven months old, both my niece and her husband quit their jobs and moved back in with my sister so more people were available to take care of the child, who needed around-the-clock care. The adults listened to the child’s heartbreaking cries every day.
Later, my sister and my niece and her husband also developed one or two bumps on their arms, but they did not spread. These few bumps made them feel firsthand the unspeakable pain that the baby was enduring.
My sister described that it was intensely itchy as well as painful, as if a needle was piercing deeply into the flesh. People with medical knowledge said that such skin disease not only made sufferers itchy on the skin but also caused nerve pain. The painful and itchy sensation is unbearable.
Because the bumps were itchy and painful, the child slept restlessly, crying and fussing. In order to prevent him from scratching and breaking his skin, his parents clutched his hands tightly, day and night. The poor child, as if tortured, could do nothing but cry.
The child was tormented by this strange skin disease since birth, and his parents also suffered with him. They both felt worn out due to lack of sleep.
When we saw the baby after my niece moved back to our hometown, we were shocked, having never seen such a serious condition before. We could not tell what the baby looked like – he was as if disfigured, with his face covered with scabs. Our hearts were all broken looking at the poor infant and his helpless eyes, listening to his heartbreaking cries and watching him struggle.
When the child was nine months old, his condition got worse. The adults had to carry him day and night. The baby must always remain on his back while sleeping, and the adults, while lying on each side of the baby, would hold on to his hands hard for fear that he would scratch his skin. Sometimes when the adults were not careful and let go of his hands, he would scratch his head or face to the point of bleeding. He would be covered by blood and yellow fluid all over his face.
When breastfeeding, the child must also lie on his back. There must be two people on each side to hold his hands hard to prevent him from scratching. Adults also needed to make sure not to let his head touch anything. Otherwise, the baby would push his head hard on the object and have a seizure-like convulsion. It was terrible.
He did not hit any of his milestones: he could not sit, crawl, or eat solid food. Any introduction of food caused an allergic reaction. He had to totally rely on breastfeeding.
Over time, his condition did not improve but got much worse. He cried day and night. The adults all reached their limits as well. Even the neighbor downstairs came to complain to them that they were disturbed by the noise. They said the parents should not let the baby cry so much and affect others’ rest. Everyone was overwhelmed with pressure.
Disease Worsened with Various Medicines
In May 2020, my niece spent 3,000 yuan on some medicine from a very famous Chinese medicine doctor. The prescription included a powdered medicine with an oil-like liquid, adding up to a total of three bottles. After applying this medicine, the child developed upper respiratory symptoms and they had to stop using it.
They also got another herbal soup with sugar for the baby to drink. After two days, he began to have diarrhea. They stopped the medicine, but the diarrhea lasted for a long time. The baby also had some other complications.
Various Treatments from Different Doctors to No Avail
The boy’s paternal grandparents took him to a hospital. The doctor stated he was allergic to breast milk and suggested baby formula. The boy refused the formula and the adults force-fed him. He began to vomit and have diarrhea. He even refused to breastfeed for two days. Everyone was in a panic. Finally, after another two days, he resumed breastfeeding.
His father went to other doctors and brought back various medicines, which all made his symptoms a lot worse after being ingested or applied to his skin. His parents went to various hospitals and doctors with hope, only to end up in despair each time.
A Miracle Happened
My niece and my sister both felt exhausted, but thanks to Falun Dafa, they never gave up hope.
My sister stated that her daughter would have fallen apart a long time ago and her family might have been broken as well without Dafa.
My niece began practicing Falun Dafa at eight. She firmly believed that Master has been protecting her and her child.
When no more hospitals were willing to treat the baby, her husband no longer objected to her playing Master’s audio lectures to their child.
She played the lectures day and night and also recited Master’s poems. Whenever the baby cried, as long as the lecture was playing, he would calm down.
Her husband did not practice Falun Dafa. When the baby was fussing, he also started to recite the poem while pacing back and forth.
The baby got better day by day. When he was 11 months old, he was able to eat and sleep on a regular basis. Before his first birthday, he was completely well! His skin was as healthy as any normal baby without any scar! Now we could see his true self. His development also caught up with a normal baby.
It truly was a miracle! After being tormented for so long and exhausting every medical treatment, he was cured by only listening to Dafa lectures! Our entire family is deeply grateful for Master’s saving grace!
We submitted the before and after photos of the baby to the Minghui website, hoping for more people to see this miracle.
