Solemn Declarations
(Clearwisdom.net)
I was fortunate to learn about the universal Dafa in 1995. On January 6,
2000, I was arrested while delivering truth-clarifying materials with another
practitioner. I was illegally imprisoned for over six months, and later I was
sentenced to one-year "re-education" in a forced labor camp. My family
did not practice Falun Dafa. Evil people used them to try to brainwash me, and
they even asked me to sign guarantees that they had written for me. At first, I
had strong willpower and did not follow their orders. Later on, because I was
delinquent in studying the Fa and attached to family and time, I allowed the
evil take advantage of my attachments, and I did what a Dafa practitioner should
not do. My deeds have created a bad image for Dafa. Now I realize the truth.
Today, I sincerely declare that whatever my family and I said against Dafa while
I was in prison is totally invalid. I want to come back and join the Fa
rectification efforts, to do my best to clarify the truth, to eliminate the
evils using righteous thoughts, and to save all sentient beings. I will redouble
my efforts to make up for the damage to Dafa and will follow the Teacher to
return to my real home.

I started to study the Fa in November 1997 after my wife told me about the
book Zhuan Falun. After reading the book, I knew that Falun Buddha Law is
a great cultivation way, which follows the universal principles of Zhen-Shan-Ren
(Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance). So my wife and I went to a
practitioner's home every day to study the Fa and to practice the exercises.
After July 20, 1999, my wife went to the provincial capital to validate Dafa
without letting me know before she left. Due to my own attachments, I could not
understand her and was angry with her for leaving. As a result, I tore Dafa
books and Teacher's picture. In November of 2000, my wife went to the Tiananmen
Square to say that Dafa is good. I could not understand her behavior and was
afraid that she would be caught by the police in Beijing and tortured in prison.
So the next day I quickly went to Beijing to find her. I arrived at the nearest
police station in Beijing and waited for my wife. While waiting, I said a lot of
words against Dafa. I saw many practitioners with whom we had practiced, before
they were arrested and sent to the police station. They used compassion and told
people that Dafa is good. Seeing them do this, I suddenly felt that I was a
traitor. I finally found my wife in Beijing. After we went back home, the local
police took her into custody. I hit her after she was released, hoping that she
would not go away again.
After that, I was very confused. I did not understand why the government used
so many resources to persecute Falun Gong and Dafa practitioners. Was it because
they went to Beijing to clarify the truth to the authorities? I had practiced
Falun Gong and read Dafa books many times. The main ideas of the teachings are
that Falun Gong is a high-level cultivation way of the Buddha School and that
people should follow the universal principles of Zhen-Shan-Ren. Falun Gong
teaches people to cultivate Truthfulness (Zhen): speak honestly, behave
honestly, be an honest person, and return to the true self; to cultivate
Compassion (Shan): upgrade oneself to have great compassion and not to kill
other living beings; and to cultivate Forbearance (Ren): getting rid of
attachments, including attachments to fame, wealth, and desire, not fighting
with people, and not competing our of self-interest. I could find nothing wrong
with the teachings. Nowadays, police in different areas use various brutal
methods to torture Dafa practitioners. Many of them have been persecuted to
death, only because they insisted on their beliefs. Many practitioners gave up
their personal interests and risked their lives to go to Tiananmen Square to
validate Dafa. They had compassionate hearts, hoping to tell more people that
Dafa is good and thus save the people--including the police.
In the evening of December 15, I watched CCTV reporting that a person named
Fu Yibin killed his relatives. This "news" was definitely not
convincing. Dafa practitioners believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance (Zhen-Shan-Ren).
Falun Gong clearly teaches people not to kill. Practitioners cannot
intentionally kill animals, not to mention kill people! This person was so
violent that he talked with enthusiasm about the details of killing people. He
is definitely not normal. It is impossible for him to practice Falun Gong. As a
citizen, I want to tell those bad people to stop creating false news against
Dafa. After this event, I am able to distinguish between what is right and what
is wrong.
I regret that I did not realize the truth earlier. I regret what I said
against Dafa and what I had done to dishonor Teacher. Now I solemnly declare
that I want to start to cultivate Falun Dafa again!

My daughter is a practitioner. She was tortured in a forced labor camp. I
conformed to the evil people's requests in order to get my daughter released
from the camp. After studying the Fa, I knew that what I did was wrong. I
declare that all I said or wrote to the evil people is invalid. I will cultivate
firmly and totally let go of my attachments. From now on, I will cherish the
cultivation opportunity that Teacher has given to the practitioners. I will
redouble my efforts to make up and catch up in the Fa rectification process.

I went to Beijing to appeal in October of 1999. As a result, I was illegally
sentenced to 1 year and 6 months of forced labor education. While in the forced
labor camp, I was misled by the evil forces as well as by a few individuals who
had enlightened along the evil path. Under the evil's influence and with an
inadequate understanding of the Fa, I wrote the so-called "transformation
letter," "renouncement letter," and "guarantee letter,"
and exchanged them for an "exit pass" in a dishonorable way. I was
released in April 2000. After I returned home, I still stuck to my wrong doings
and deceived other practitioners, resulting in some practitioners being misled
along the evil path. Many practitioners handed over Falun Dafa books to the
public security bureau and police stations. This had a very negative impact and
caused huge loss to Dafa. I am unworthy of Master's compassionate salvation,
unworthy of the chance that only comes once in tens of thousands of years. In
January 2001, thanks to Master's immense compassion and timely guidance, plus
the warm help from fellow practitioners, I finally extricated myself from the
evil's clutches and once again took the cultivation path to follow Master in Fa-rectification.
From the bottom of my heart, I feel penitent about the damage I have caused to
Dafa; I will redouble my efforts to make up for it. After I realized my
mistakes, I tried several times to make a solemn declaration on the Internet,
but without any success. Today I finally got the chance. I solemnly declare that
all the "materials" that are detrimental to Dafa, which I wrote in the
detention center and at the local police station, as well as everything I said
and did that are detrimental to Dafa, to be completely void. I shall recover the
damage and keep up with Master's Fa- rectification process till the day when the
Fa rectifies the human world.

Since July 20, 1999, because I went to Beijing to appeal and persisted in
cultivating Falun Dafa, I was twice illegally detained and was also twice sent
to the "intensified transformation class" of the forced labor camp to
be brainwashed. At the beginning, I was able to persist in weighing matters
based on the Fa and sticking to Dafa, but the last time while I was in the
"intensified transformation class," I was unable to keep control of
myself. Driven by the evil, I became confused and wrote the "Four
letters,"
("transformation letter," "renouncement letter,"
"guarantee letter" etc). I even went so far as to publicly make a
denouncement report. Looking back now, I feel so ashamed of myself that I don't
know where to hide myself. It is our great compassionate Master who once again
saved me and untied the knot in my heart, who cleaned out the evil, mutated
thoughts in my mind and allowed me to rejoin the process of Fa-rectification.
Here I would like to repent to Master, "Master, I know my mistake! I will
doubly make up for it, keep up with Master's Fa rectification process and truly
be a practitioner!" I would like to declare solemnly here: All the
"guarantees and materials" I had written that betrayed Falun Dafa to
be completely void. I want to once again be a righteous Falun Dafa practitioner,
be a Dafa particle in Fa-rectification.

On the afternoon of April 25, 2001, my husband and I (an elderly couple) were
having dinner. The evil police from the local police station came with a gang of
thugs and broke into our house under the instigation of the "610
Office" of the Municipal Party Committee. They dragged and pushed us
forcibly from the fifth floor, and illegally detained us in the City Detention
Center. The scene of them kidnapping us was too terrible to picture. My wrists
were handcuffed so tightly to the bone that they were bleeding. Our shoes were
lost while we were being dragged along. My husband's upper body was stripped
naked while he was being forced into the car. People who crowded around could do
nothing but choke with silent fury over what they saw. Some even shed tears. In
May, the ruffians again forcibly sent me to the Municipal "610 Office"
brainwashing class and made use of a dozen people who had enlightened along the
evil path. For 9 days, they took turns day and night forcibly brainwashing me,
but they did not get anywhere. So they sent me to a forced labor camp, making me
pay a rate of 250 Yuan a day for 11 days of intensified brainwashing there.
Subjected to the continuous rounds of brainwashing day and night by those who
had enlightened along the evil path, I became confused and deviated from Dafa.
On May 19, I was sent back to the "610 Office" brainwashing class to
be "consolidated." During this period, my husband came to look for me,
but was forcefully detained as well to be brainwashed. It was not until
September that we were released. Now through Fa study, the two of us have become
awakened, and we rejoined the mighty current of Fa rectification to assist
Master in the human world. We shall remain to be righteous Fa-rectification
particles through the end of Fa-rectification.

I am eighty-seven years old this year. I have never written a "guarantee"(Translator's
note: a letter guaranteeing not to study Falun Dafa or practice the exercises or
meet with other practitioners). But a government officer wrote a
"guarantee" for me at my home. Today, I solemnly declare that the
"guarantee" that he wrote for me is invalid. I have made up my mind to
cultivate Falun Dafa firmly. I will follow Teacher forever to complete my
cultivation journey.
