Canberra Times: No cult

Dear Sir,

I've been practicing Falun Dafa for eight months now and know it too be a self cultivation practice that benefits both physical health and mental well being. Bearing this in mind, it seems totally ludicrous to me that such a peaceful practice that practices Truth, Compassion and Tolerance could be seriously labeled a 'cult' at all, let along an evil one.

I am just a normal housewife and mother who helps run a small business from home - my husband doesn't practice Falun Dafa yet would be the first to tell you that it has only been good for me.

I used to have bad back pain which vanished soon after I began practicing Falun Gong. I can get a lot more work done without getting tired, and have much less stress. In fact the list could go on and on.

I hope that you print my letter to let your readers know that Falun Gong truly stands for Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance something that the world definitely needs more of.
