(Clearwisdom.net) The institute that I work for is a very famous biological research institute in the U.S. For this reason it attracts many top researchers from China. There is a post-doctorate who was a professor before he came to the US. He is also a group leader of more than 100 people and his department has an annual income of up to 10 million Yuan. He himself has even been selected among "the Ten Best Youth" in his city.
When he first came to our institute a year ago, he always refused to comment when I talked about the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China. His mentality of being a long-term leader made him believe that the people in power would maintain their role and that there must have been important reasons to persecute Falun Gong. Under the influence of the evil propaganda from China, he doubted the truth of Dafa.
We were not working on the same project, but due to his language difficulties, he came to ask for my help every now and then. I also helped him out with technical problems. I even went to the hospital with him when his child got sick. I was trying to follow "Do but pursue not." (Hong Yin) After a year we have become such good friends that we can talk about anything. He's made great developments in his research as well, so he was happy too. Recently, in my office, the topic of Falun Gong came up again.
"Someone said that you are involved in politics, but it doesn't seem like that to me. It's said you are against science, but you are working right in the field of the scientific frontier, the propaganda in China are simply lies! Falun Gong is just a way of spiritual cultivation, there is nothing bad about it!" His words touched me. He can finally see Dafa and the practitioners with a clear mind.
He went on to say, "In fact all of the people who came over from China realized that Falun Gong is nothing like how it's mentioned in that propaganda from China." He said that his wife also ran into Dafa practitioners clarifying the truth when she was in Japan. Although they dared not to contact Dafa practitioners directly due to the pressure from their boss, they all got to know the truth in private. Even though the extent of each one's acknowledgement varies, they all know that Dafa practitioners are not like what is said in the Jiang regime's propaganda.
At that time, my computer was displaying a piece of news about a Dafa practitioner who was persecuted due to his appeal in Beijing. Upon seeing this, he said immediately, "You are not doing enough by only appealing in this way. You really should tell the truth directly to the common people in China, and explain the whole truth with your own experiences!" That's right, isn't that what Dafa practitioners all over the world are doing everyday?
Despite that many people don't realize that Falun Dafa is saving people, when the kindness of Dafa practitioners touches them, when their calm sides re-evaluate the great Buddha Fa, the words they speak are so close to practitioner's thoughts! This scholar's kind thoughts will bring him a glorious future.
