A letter from a German Falun Gong Practitioner to her Family and Friends

The following is an email I sent to my parents and friends. My intention was to explain to my parents and friends who don’t practise Falun Gong what moves me to do so much time- and energy-consuming volunteer work every day to raise awareness about the persecution. I am very grateful that the people in my environment support practitioners in our attempts to stop the persecution. Of course, I am convinced that good deeds will be rewarded.
