Falun Gong Practitioners Should Not Become Attached to Any Political Party
When some practitioners speak, they like to imply which party is good or bad, which party needs salvation, or which party has already taken a righteous position. In fact, these comments all derive from human notions. Some practitioners get very upset when others criticize the party that they approve of. This anger comes from wanting others to accept and think the way they do. The motivation for debating the merits of the political parties is wanting to prove oneself right and wanting to validate oneself, not the principles layed out in Falun Gong. |

Stories from Ancient China: Broadmindedness and Modesty
Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) Emperor Guangwu (Liu Xiu 5 BC-57AD), was highly respected by his ministers and people because of his broadmindedness, modesty, respectfulness, and approachability. Unlike despotic rulers, he was never opinionated, conceited, arrogant, or patronising. Even people who had a bias against him would swear allegiance to him after they got to know him better. |
