Dear Chinese Friend
A Western Practitioner of Falun Gong
(Clearwisdom.net) Dear Chinese Friend: Allow me to introduce myself... I am an American, born in the western United States. I now
live in New York City, I've recently married and I work downtown on Wall Street
designing and building computer software. Since very early in my life, I have been attracted to Chinese
culture. I think it is the grandest and richest culture in the world. When I was
in high school, I began to read books from Chinese scholars and sages, such as
Lao Tzu. In college, where I majored in East Asian studies, I learned about each
dynasty that has arisen in China over the ages, and made a study of their
writings, their poems, their customs, their war leaders; Yue Fei is a great hero
of mine. The Chinese, I feel, have a truly glorious history! Dear Chinese friend: I've discovered a true treasure from
China... In the spring of 1999, a good friend of mine from Beijing
walked by my desk at work, dropped a book on my desk and said, "you should
check this out." This friend is a graduate of Beijing University and has a
leading role in our company. We have been friends for a long time. I respect him
very much. I took the book home and read through it. The book explained in great clarity the principles of and
relationships among the human body, life and the entire universe. It unraveled
the mysteries of the ages, it explained the true connection between mind and
body, and it cut through the confusions and misconceptions that have taken root
in these chaotic modern times. Furthermore, it explained things from the
perspective of science. Indeed, I found this book to be a higher form of science
-- something much more advanced than what we have developed here in the West. The book was truly a treasure from China and after reading it
through, carefully studying the principles it expounded and adopting them into
my life, I have found that it has changed my life completely. I am stronger,
healthier, happier, have more energy at work, have a very harmonious and loving
relationship with my wife, and so on. The benefits are endless. Having studied Chinese history and culture, I could see this
book and its teachings have brought to light all the best of China's grand and
ancient heritage, rectifying what has degenerated, and returning to the glory of
ancient China's virtue. Having lived in the West, making advances in the field of
computers and technology, I can see this book and its teachings addressed the
mysteries of life and the universe that modern-day science has yet to
understand. It is truly a higher form of science, and can therefore bridge the
gap between science and spirituality, what is seen and what is unseen, what has
been discovered and what remains a mystery. Having made a careful study of the book and adopted its
principles and practice into my life, I can say it is the greatest thing I have
ever found--sacred and magnificent--and to no surprise from me, it comes from
China and is rooted in ancient Chinese culture. á Dear Chinese friend: I have something very important to tell
you... The book is Zhuan Falun, the principles are
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and the practice is Falun Dafa. I know Jiang Zemin, out of selfish motives of his own,
without any regard for the stability and reputation of the great nation of
China, has unleashed a horrifying persecution of those who practice Falun Dafa
in China. He has used all the media to spread lies and fabrications about Falun
Dafa. He has used the nation's police and government officials to detain,
torture and kill those who practice Falun Dafa. He has used business interests
in China in an effort to cover up the persecution so as to prevent the world
from discovering what is happening to innocent Chinese citizens who practice
Falun Dafa. Indeed, he has used all the nation's resources to carry out this
persecution, all because he wanted to consolidate his power, force political
rivals to fall in line behind him, and most of all, because the goodness and
virtue of Falun Dafa was a bright light, which stood in stark contrast to his
own selfishness and corruption. But his effort is failing, and failing fast. Dear Chinese friend, I want to tell you that Falun Dafa is
good. Falun Dafa is openly practiced in over 50 countries around the world. It
has received awards and proclamations around the world for the benefits and
virtue it has brought to the people who practice it and the communities in which
they live. My own city, New York City, proclaimed: "The City of New York is
proud to honor and commend the Falun Dafa movement, founded by Li Hong Zhi, in
recognition of their teachings of peace and spirituality." Jiang Zemin is ruining the great nation of China. The world
has come to know all about this horrible persecution and it has come to know all
about Falun Dafa. The world knows Falun Dafa is good. The world condemns Jiang Zemin for this persecution campaign
he has unleashed. It is unjust, it goes against the will of heaven, it goes
against the Chinese people and it is bringing shame down upon China. Dear Chinese friend, I ask you, please give this matter some
thought... Think about all that you know about Falun Dafa -- where does
the information come from? Have you read the books of Falun Dafa yourself? Have
you talked with real practitioners yourself? Do not be coerced into believing
the lies and propaganda that Jiang Zemin has spread, using T.V., newspapers,
radio, etc. Do not be coerced into going against Falun Dafa. Already, there is
talk in China -- the truth will soon be brought to light, Jiang Zemin's selfish
campaign will fail, and all will be handled according to the ancient will of
heaven: "good will be rewarded with good, and evil rewarded with
evil." Dear Chinese friend, be virtuous...do good. You are Chinese,
and therefore, you are of a glorious people. Let the glory of China be restored
and all Chinese people revered for their virtue, for their glory, for their
Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Sincerely, A Western Practitioner of Falun Gong
