(Minghui.org) “I feel that the book Zhuan Falun can explain very thoroughly people's thoughts, and about how a person can be genuinely good. It can help people to have correct thoughts. Once one's thoughts are pure, one is able to adapt to the pressures of current society. This is because one has changed oneself from the inside and feels happy—a genuine happiness and a feeling of peace—from within,” says Mr. Zheng, a 57-year-old employee in a state-run institution in Taiwan. He explains the great improvements to his mind and body from practicing Falun Gong.

13 years prior, in order to treat his nasal allergy, Mr. Zheng started practicing Taichi and qigong. He felt only slight improvements. A friend of his introduced him to Falun Gong. After practicing for a bit over a month, the serious allergy that had plagued him for many years was practically gone. “Falun Gong is suitable for all levels of society and people of all ages. It's worthwhile for anyone to learn. Even after cultivating for 13 years, I still feel broadminded and happy, and I am naturally healthy.”

Mr. Zheng talked about patience. When facing different situations, economic pressure, or stress at work, people should exercise patience. However, they might not be able to withstand the pressure and fight back. “Zhuan Falun explains very clearly the relationship between loss and gain, allowing people to understand the real manifestation of and inner meaning of 'Forbearance.'”

On April 25, 1999, 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners, of their own will, went to the Appeals Office in Beijing and peacefully made three requests: (1) The release of all illegally arrested Tianjin Falun Gong practitioners; (2) A fair and lawful cultivation environment for Falun Gong; (3) The publication of Falun Gong books through the normal publishing channels. “Practitioners have demonstrated peacefulness, rationality, and perseverance, all the way up until today, 13 years later. This can be evidenced by Falun Gong practitioners in China, as well as in all parts of the world.

“Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are universal values. Zhuan Falun allows us to return to our innate nature. Such a great practice has been slandered and persecuted by the CCP, and Chinese people must be allowed to know the truth. When there is a problem, then one must clarify the truth, it is quite simple,” said Mr. Zheng. The CCP controls the media to discredit Falun Gong, and the international media believed the CCP's lies, poisoning the minds of the world's people. Therefore, Mr. Zheng stands up of his own accord to speak up for Falun Gong. A variety of sources tell us how the CCP brutally persecutes Falun Gong practitioners. The persecution is very serious. Everyone, particularly the Chinese people, must be told the truth. “With such a huge problem happening right next to us, people cannot be kept in the dark.” He spoke with conviction and the power of peacefulness and compassion.

Originally, Mr. Zheng was computer illiterate and could only turn the computer off and on. He then joined the ranks of those who clarified the truth online. He chose to use the Internet to spread truth clarification materials, as he believes online chatting is very quick, and moreover, it's a good way to connect with lots of Chinese people. Mr. Zheng said that many people are stunned to learn of the true situation. Particularly after they see evidence of the live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners, they'll say, “How can such a thing be happening?” After becoming clear about the true situation, those people, in turn, start to spread the facts.

“They, the Chinese people, are to be pitied. Even though this event of such importance is taking place right in their own backyards, they're kept in the dark.” Mr. Zheng said that, no matter what the other person's reaction is, he is always merciful and compassionate, peacefully clarifying the truth. He's noticed that, in the last few years, more and more people have become clear on the truth about Falun Gong. International media especially have seen a gradual increase in the volume of downloads of their news relating to the true situation in China. It just shows how Chinese people are eager to learn of the true situation. Particularly during the time of the SARS epidemic and the Sichuan earthquake, Mr. Zheng received so much feedback from online users thanking him for sharing such important information.

Mr. Zheng has persisted in using the Internet to clarify the truth, constantly accumulating experience. He has also become a lot better at operating the computer. He said, “I continue to run into walls, and I continue to make breakthroughs. With the one thought of, 'It's just for clarifying the truth to those Chinese people,' I make breakthroughs in my own notions, I let go of selfishness, I cease being afraid, and my thoughts just improve. It's all worthwhile!”

Mr. Zheng said, “Because I have benefited from practicing Falun Gong, it's from my heart that I want to spread the news about the true situation. If I had been practicing at the time of the April 25 Appeal, I would also have gone and petitioned and clarified the truth. We are just expressing how we wish for a legitimate environment to cultivate.”

Mr. Zheng was pleased to say, “In Taiwan we are free to practice Falun Gong—we're really fortunate. Particularly during the process of clarifying the truth, I realize even more how Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are universally valued and recognized by all of humanity. A lot of Chinese Internet users have heard the three words, 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance,' and all think that they are principles that man ought to innately possess. Once they learn that Falun Gong teaches people to be good according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, they are shocked. The CCP's lies have proven to be unfounded.”
