My Elder Brother's Discovery

May 20, 2005

(Clearwisdom.net) I went to my elder brother's home and talked with him about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and the matter of quitting the Party. My elder brother is a college instructor and a Party member. He read the materials I gave him and told me about an experience he had. As he watched his son write the Chinese character "I," he noticed that the bottom part of that character means to "look for." He realized that human beings should look for their true selves. It is thus no surprise that the book Zhuan Falun talks about "looking at the inner self." Moreover, in "Teaching the Fa at the 2004 International Fa Conference in New York" Teacher said,

"So everything that has taken place in each of the periods in history, including recent human history, has been for the purpose of creating a culture for man, for today's mankind, so that it may understand the Fa." "Also, since what was established in China was a semi-divine culture, the form and sound of Chinese characters are interconnected with the cosmos."

My brother said that he told everyone about this discovery in a meeting at school about how the CCP tries to maintain its "superiority." He also talked about the Taoist theory of yin and yang, and the theory of energy channels from Chinese medicine. His speech led to a group discussion. The leader and several of his close colleagues came to talk with him, letting him know that such topics were not "appropriate." He really felt pressured. Not long after, however, the principle of the school was put in prison due to corruption, and my brother was elected to be the new leader. My brother said, "This is Providence. When such a great law comes to this world, it needs people to promote it and spread it. It needs people to introduce it to those around them. There are several retired professors in our college that are Falun Gong practitioners. I often see them talking with the current faculty's family members."

After listening to my elder brother's words, I felt happy for him. In the first place, I was fired by my work unit and had to leave a state finance job admired by everyone. I had to leave my husband and son. I worked with other practitioners to establish a material-production site. I spent all my savings on Dafa. At first, my elder brother did not understand. He thought I was crazy. He and my family members tried to talk to me. While he was trying his best to persuade me to give up the practice of Falun Gong, a miracle happened. In the center of our family room, there was a shining, rotating Falun as big as a pan lid. It stayed there for over half an hour. My family members were all surprised and came over to see it. Since then, my family has encouraged me to be careful for my safety. My brother also began to read the Falun Gong books.

From the very beginning, the leaders in my work unit cooperated with the police in persecuting me and ended up ruining my marriage. Finally, I was forced to leave my job. To avoid taking responsibility, my work unit dismissed me using the excuse that I was absent from work without reason. At that time, my family members went and talked with them. The supervisors said, "Do you think you can come and go as you please at a state job?" Half a year later, because a mid-level supervisor absconded with a huge sum of money, one of the former supervisors was dismissed from his post and another one was examined in isolation. As a result, what they said about me actually happened to them.

My brother said seriously, "Because of ignorance, one commits crimes and the result is that one ruins oneself."

Teacher said,

"Whatever human beings do, they're doing it to themselves. Persecuting Dafa disciples is in fact the persecutors persecuting themselves. That is something determined by the nature of the cosmos." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Western U.S. Fa Conference")

This fact has already been clearly shown to be true. The Fa truly exists in the universe. The people of the world should look for their true selves and not rashly listen to or blindly believe in anything. They should return to the Great Law of the universe. Only then will they will be able to achieve true happiness and longevity and have a bright future.
