Dear Editor,
The world needs more good people. At this time in history, there are few people
who do not agree that society is in decline, and there are even less who have
any answers to this sinking.
We can feel it in the environment around us in daily life.
In China, there are millions of people trying to better their lives by being
more truthful, compassionate and tolerant. These values are something that are
universally recognized as good, and beneficial to society.
Yet, sadly, the government (Jiang's group) in China outlawed the way that these
people were taking to better themselves. This way is known as Falun Gong, and
the persecution of people in China who practice Falun Gong is the saddest
occurrence imaginable.
To be told to stop being a good person or face torture and death is a choice
that no one should be asked to make. Please oppose this persecution of good
people as a matter of conscience, and contact [email protected] for more
information.
Falun Gong is practiced freely in the United States, and in many countries
around the world. Its healing benefits, as well as the mental peace that comes
from self-improvement, make Falun Gong a benefit to anyone who wants to practice
it.
Every Sunday at 10 a.m. on The Arcata Plaza, people can be seen practicing the
tranquil meditation exercises of Falun Gong.
Please feel free to ask them to teach you the exercises. There are also other
practice times. There is no charge, and there is no obligation of any kind.
Please contact Eric Martin at (707) 442-0748 for more information regarding
alternate practice times.
