A Practitioner Replies to the Lie that Falun Gong Practitioners are Selfish

Question: Falun Gong practitioners don't care for their family members' lives and brought trouble upon so many people. Isn't that selfish?

Answer: Falun Gong did not cause any of the trouble. It was the vicious government leaders in charge that intentionally instigated this persecution.

Falun Dafa practitioners were just going about their happy lives. If it were not for this malicious persecution, would they be fed up and go to Tiananmen? Practitioners who stepped out courageously have only done one thing from beginning to end: tell the truth, the true story, use everything they have to uphold the truth and safeguard Falun Dafa, which has brought them tremendous physical improvement and spiritual enlightenment.

So why go to Tiananmen? When all normal channels for appeal were blocked and when they would be deprived of their rights to life if they persisted in practising, they can only go to public places where people can hear and see them.

There is a saying in Chinese: "A tiny favour should be repaid with huge gratitude." This reflects Chinese people's noble morality and consciousness. When a group of kind and serene people say some true and fair words for their respected teacher, why did they, their family, friends and even supervisors have to be persecuted so cruelly? Didn't the people who started this persecution create these troubles? Why don't you ask, "Why did you have to start this campaign?" How could you turn around and rankle and scold people with a good conscience?

After all, what brought about these troubles? Right and wrong are such crucial issues. Please be clear about it and don't say things irresponsibly.

Look at how Falun Gong practitioners weigh on the scale: on the one side is to clarify the truth to people in the world, so people can avoid hating Falun Dafa out of ignorance and misunderstanding. In order to speak the truth, they not only suffer persecution, they are also misunderstood, despised, and cursed. On the other side is to hide at home and take advantage of the benefits brought by Falun Gong. And no matter how Falun Gong is being slandered and persecuted and people are being deluded by lies, only wanting to preserve one's own family, career, and personal interests. Falun Gong practitioners have all chosen the first one without any regrets. In a tyrannical society with an imperfect legal system, who doesn't know the consequences of speaking out? Nowadays, would people take such aboveboard and altruistic actions for selfish purposes?

If you wanted to objectively describe Falun Gong practitioners who spoke out, other than kind and peaceful, there is another word that's more accurate: compassionate.
