✱debian-...@lists.debian.orgr Can you change your karma and thereby alter your fate ? UNSUBSCRIBE EMAIL In the Eastern culture we consider that whatever happens to us - good or bad - is due to our actions in past lives. That’s why in the East people can understand why they are born rich or poor, healthy or sick. Yet many have pondered, if we can alter our karma, can we change our destiny? Falun Dafa (or Falun Gong), an exercise and meditation system from China is founded on a complete cultivation system guiding a person to enhance one’s ethical character. A holistic cultivation system affects not only mind and body, but also spirit and the transformation of karma. As there is karmic reprisal for every action, a heart which follows the values of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance by letting go of bad habits, will get the best response in body, mind and spirit. By nurturing temperament, practitioners are directly and positively affecting their physical wellbeing. This is thought to be one reason why the practice of Falun Gong has such exceptional health results. An orthopedic doctor from Taiwan who is an accomplished martial arts expert and tai chi practitioner of 15 years gave it all up to take up Falun Dafa because, according to him, he realized that all this training to build physique and control energy was like earning money, constrained only to this lifespan. “You die and it is all lost. Only Falun Dafa clears your past karma, helps cultivate your body, mind and spirit in the present life and guides you on your way to enlightenment in future lives.” In America, investigators in basic sciences have begun to show interest in studying Falun Gong. Dr. Lili Feng, professor of immunology and molecular biology at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, examined the life span and role of white blood cells, neutrophils (a common type of white blood cell) in specific. Her preliminary results proved that the in-vitro (means in laboratory conditions) life span of neutrophils from Falun Dafa followers was 30 times longer than that of control groups and the heightened immune function among these cells was significant. What one cannot understand is how a spiritual practice that was presented to the public back in May 1992 and quickly gained popularity could be suddenly banned in China. Unable to acknowledge the tremendous popularity of Falun Dafa and acknowledge the growing numbers of Falun Dafa practitioners that were exceeding the membership of the Chinese Communist Party, the then-president Jiang Zemin slapped a ban on the practice on July 20, 1999. Seventy million people were following Falun Dafa when the horrific persecution started. Since then, people who practice Falun Dafa in China have been illegally detained, imprisoned, tormented and even killed for their organs.
