Shakhtar were beaten 3-0 in Germany, Mario Götze getting the second goal. • In last season's UEFA Champions League group stage, the Ukrainian champions drew 0-0 at home to Bayer 04 Leverkusen after a 4-0 away defeat. • Shakhtar's last four home games with Bundesliga visitors have ended in three draws and a loss. Their last success came against holders Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1980/81 UEFA Cup first round when Mikhail Sokolovski's goal earned a 1-0 first-leg win, although the ensuing 3-0 defeat in Germany meant it was in vain. • The Pitmen's home record against German clubs is W2 D3 L1. Overall it reads W5 D4 L5. • Shakhtar's most memorable encounter with a Bundesliga team was their 2-1 victory over SV Werder Bremen after extra time in the 2009 UEFA Cup final in Istanbul.

  • Our Teacher.Pdf
    Clearwisdom.net 1 Our Teacher Introduction In the early 1990’s, Mr. Li Hongzhi (respectfully referred to as “Master” or “Teacher” by His students) embarked on the auspicious goal of imparting the great teachings of Falun Dafa to the world. Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a practice of what the Chinese call “self-cultivation.” Falun Dafa students perform slow-moving, graceful exercises and, more importantly, apply the principles of Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance to their daily lives. Starting in 1992, Master Li traveled all over China for more than two years, giving over fifty series of lectures on the practice in cities throughout the country. The classes were the most inexpensive of their type in the country, but what students received was priceless—they gained a true cultivation practice that went far beyond the realm of just keeping healthy and fit. Master Li participated in the 1992 and 1993 Oriental Health Expos in Beijing, earning several awards. Students quickly found that during the course of the lecture series, their bodies were being purified, reaching a state of optimum health. This initial benefit led many to seriously look into the practice, accounting for its extremely rapid growth. By 1998, over 100 million people had embraced the practice in China alone. Currently, Falun Dafa is practiced in over 60 countries around the world. In the course of Master Li’s selfless effort to spread the practice, many could see that He was no ordinary qigong master—He genuinely exemplified the greatness of the practice. Master Li was truly guiding people to higher realms of awareness.
