The whole world knows by now what happened to these efforts. We former DDR citizens rarely heard anything about China during those socialist days. We were aware that Mao existed, but that was about all. Only now have I learned a little of the shocking Cultural Revolution which mirrors the persecution of Falun Gong in China today. At the same time, through readings, I have also gained intensive knowledge of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in China. Those are religions or cultivation methods, rooted in Chinas thousands of years of history, that promote the good in people. By practising qigong, I found my way to Falun Gong, a.k.a. Falun Dafa, in 1997.
I was enthused about Falun Gong from the very beginning and nobody could bring me to give up this system anymore. Falun Gong is a cultivation way [suitable] for all human beings in the world. Falun Gong is not specifically Chinese. Its content can be understood by all people in the world. Falun Dafa can move peoples hearts and has done so to millions already. With the aid of Falun Gong one can truly become a good person. And that again benefits the whole of society and everyone in the world. This world needs people, good and unselfish people who at all times think of others first.
I know from my own experience how difficult it is under a socialist system to have access to information from people who do not comply with the officially prevailing thoughts. But sometimes this is possible. We who live abroad are trying everything with our available resources to spurn people not to believe the Chinese propaganda but bring them the truth. My fervent hope is that the Chinese populace wont believe the misinformation about Falun Gong spread by the socialist governments elite. Please, do believe the Falun Gong practitioners. They are the personification of Truth, Kindness and Tolerance. They are good people. Listen to your hearts, your inner voice!
Falun Gong is practised unhindered in over 40 countries around the world. No other nation besides China persecutes Falun Gong. No Falun Gong practitioner in any of those countries has ever taken his/her own life.
