Fang Hong

(Clearwisdom.net) May is a time full of vigor and life. A thunderstorm last night washed away the dirt in the air. Today the air is very clear, the sunshine is very bright, and the flowers and grass smell very fresh. Sitting in front of my computer, I feel peaceful and pleasant.

I remember reading one poem when I was in college about the dandelion. The meaning goes something like this: where does the dandelion come from? From where it comes from. Where does the dandelion go? Where is it supposed to go?

After reading this poem, I was completely lost since the poem did not make it really clear where the dandelion comes from and goes.

Many people sigh at the ups and downs and the uncertainty in life. We've all had such doubts since we were little: where do we come from and where do we go? For thousands of years, it has been an eternal topic for humans to explore the meaning of life, the origin and destination of man.

Like many people who aspire to seek the truth and meaning of life, I once devoted myself to scientific research. I was only met with more questions and doubts, and I realized how shallow science is in terms of exploring life itself. Then I turned to philosophy and religion, but still couldn't find what I wanted.

One day I came across Falun Dafa. Zhuan Falun answered all my doubts, and enabled me to truly understand the meaning of life and see the principles of the universe. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance began to purge my mind and body, remove the anxiety I felt, fulfill my life and make me feel reassured that I was finally on my way home. What Falun Gong has given me is too much to describe in words.

Now, many people admire Falun Gong. Seeing Falun Gong still strong and spreading widely after such a long period of persecution, people are wondering about the underlying reason.

When Falun Gong practitioners realized the true meaning of life and understood the principles of the universe, there was no way that the lies and torture by the Chinese Communist Party could shake practitioners' belief and will.

Some people may feel that Falun Gong is good but is too remote for them. They have to take care of family and work. So they think it's impossible for them to calm down and find time to practice Falun Gong amidst their busy schedule. Actually, when I was searching for the truth, I was looking for something that could help me improve and also accommodate my everyday life. Falun Gong is exactly such a cultivation practice. It can guide people to higher levels, but at the same time, practitioners can still lead a normal life.

In such an era when human morality is on the decline and people are going after fame and self-interest, I hope more people can realize the preciousness of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and choose not to be a dandelion that floats away in the wind.
