Ottawa Citizen Letter to Editor: Falun Gong is China's Greatest Gift

Re: TV station aired 'biased attack' on Falun Gong, Aug. 21 (The Ottawa Citizen)

The greatest victims of the Chinese government's Falun Gong propaganda are the naive Chinese who participate mindlessly in their desperate government's evil politics.

It is appalling that the Chinese government can continue to feed its propaganda to Chinese Canadians despite the international community's condemnation of China's human rights violations.

[...]

Any form of killing and abuse is totally contrary to Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance -- the basis for the practice of Falun Gong. The teachings require practitioners to work through many well acknowledged negative personality traits such as jealousy, anger, greed, hatred and a range of addictive behaviors to become better family members and more productive citizens.

After more than two years as Falun Gong practitioners, my family and I are convinced that Falun Gong is China's greatest gift to the modern world.
