(Minghui.org) I was once very brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) culture and I completely believed the history as written by the CCP. After learning how to circumvent the CCP's firewall and browse the information outside of the internet blockage, I still insulted Falun Dafa practitioners and refused to accept their truth clarification.
One day, as usual, I was insulting Falun Dafa practitioners over the internet, when a Dafa practitioner named Wang caught my attention. Facing personal attacks from Wu Mao (one who spreads internet propaganda), Wang did not tit for tat, but instead, he patiently clarified the truth to youngsters who were poisoned by the party's propaganda against Falun Dafa. His tolerance and patience deeply impressed me. From then on, my position changed greatly and I began to believe that all Dafa practitioners are good people. I changed from someone who smeared Falun Dafa to a person willing to learn about Dafa and the truth.
I am a medical school student, but I truly believe in the existence of Buddhas and Gods. I have read many books on the religions of the east and west. However, these laws and principles cannot be easily understood by average people. They were not able to really understand this universe, nor could they answer the question of where we are from and where will we go after death.
Later on, I found the book Zhuan Falun by circumventing the internet firewall. I was deeply attracted by the sentence in Lecture One, “Genuinely Guiding People Toward High Levels.” Isn’t the purpose of cultivation practice to achieve higher levels? Therefore I eagerly finished reading the entire book. The principles were profound. I later learned that Master Li (the founder) used the most simple form of language and the method of qigong to spread the practice of Falun Dafa. I then found Master Li’s video instruction of the exercises and started to learn all five sets of exercises.
Now that I am practicing Falun Dafa, I am no longer combative and anxious. I have become more mature spiritually. I deeply regret my previous attitude and behavior. I am also grateful to fellow cultivators who gave me the help I needed. I will use the highest standard of the universe, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, to strictly reshape my life.
