Please Don't Oppose Falun Dafa

From a European Falun Dafa practitioner to a Chinese friend

Since I started practising Falun Dafa for the past four years. Though you are unable to become a practitioner for the time being due to your own situation, you have come to know the truth about Falun Dafa from me.

Firstly, I may not have allowed you to come to truly understand me. It is also not easy for me to do this. In my view the final goal of our cultivation is to reach the state of “selflessness and altruism” and the state of “considering others first.” Though the process may be arduous I must gradually get rid of many selfish mentalities as well as many attachments and principles that do not conform to “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance”. Nevertheless, every time I manage to overcome a tribulation and upgrade my Xinxing [mind/heart nature], I find myself feeling joyful and relaxed. This is what cultivation is all about.

I realise that I still have many shortcomings, which have had a negative impact on you. These are tribulations that have troubled me for some time, because they are the bad habits and notions that I have developed over the past several decades. For instance, I have an irritable temper, unyielding disposition, and when I speak my manner is rather harsh. I just wanted to tell you that regardless of how many defects and shortcomings I have, you should have noticed the courage and wellbeing that Falun Dafa has given me in order to dispel these and improve myself. Your kind heart should enable you to make a decision by comparison. In addition, you should not attribute a cultivator’s shortcomings to Falun Dafa.

Chinese people often show their insensitivity, coldness and indifference towards those Falun Dafa practitioners who, on a daily basis, face the cruel torture, killing, and persecution in China. They even impatiently and unsympathetically complain about those whose lives are at risk, as if it is disturbing their peaceful and harmonious day. It hurts me deeply when people say, “It’s annoying!” with a tone of coldness like ice. There is no doubt that people will wake up and feel ashamed for their selfishness. Now is the time for those people to wake up and see the true situation to avoid their eternal regret brought about by their ignorance and selfishness. I’m afraid of only one thing, that there’s no second chance no matter how regretful or shameful people feel when the truth has been revealed.

Maybe you’ll say, “Why should people care as there’s countless people who have been persecuted to death in China over the past several dozens of years? Do we have to pay special care to the persecution of Falun Gong?” The answer is YES because practitioners of Falun Gong are being persecuted because they are trying to be good people. Thousands have been killed and millions tortured because they want to live their life by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance. Those who persecute good people must surely be evil - how could they be anything else? Anyone who persecutes Dafa will have to take full responsibility for their actions. Soon, everyone will see how truly horrifying their brutal actions have been and they will certainly not escape justice.

Therefore, the purpose of my writing this letter is to advise you not to take the wrong path. That is why I insisted on continuously providing you with leaflets that reveal the truth. I did this for you and not for me. Your excessively practical view of the world has stopped you from coming to see what is good and your thoughts are no longer rational. Your wrong view towards Falun Gong may lead to your eternal regret and sadness. Please think twice before you act!

Best Wishes,
From a friend who is worried about you
