My 'Religion' or Spiritual path

Deep within me, I know the need for a 'master' or a 'saviour' who can guide and show the way. I went through many paths and over a period of half a century became a student of many spiritual teachings. What I learned and experienced have prepared me for the final embrace of my current path and belief.

A brief outline to the central teaching of this path may be appropriate here if you care to know. Practitioners or followers practice and believe the following

1. Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance are the characteristics of the universe
2. Cultivation of the above to raise the level of our 'heart nature' or moral/ethical standards
3. The purpose of Life on earth is to find our way home where we originated from
4. Genuine cultivation is a process of letting go of attachments of the mind to all worldly things and ideas which are all but transient
5. Practice the Five Physical Cultivation Exercises as set down by the Master, to help transform the body

We have a Master, a high enlightened being who is able to assist us to help transform our lives and purify our physical bodies if we choose to follow his teachings and to stay conscientiously on the path.

We carry on our daily lives conforming to all the norms of society. Genuine practitioners are law abiding citizens who come from all walks of life.

The central teaching of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance and the dramatic changes and benefits it brought to practitioners all over the world has resulted in Falun Dafa being welcomed in more than 80 countries today. Unfortunately in Singapore, my homeland, most people have been mislead by the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) which uses China's mass media and national resources to persecute and defame Falun Dafa in China. The CCP also target Singapore and other countries throughout the world to tarnish the image of Falun Dafa.

Falun Dafa is a high-level cultivation Qigong. It is legal and is registered and approved in Singapore since 1996. Minister Mentor Lee, when asked about Falun Dafa during a visit to the USA in Nov 2006 said,"No problem with Falun Gong in Singapore, it enjoys freedom."

My intention is not to propagate Falun Dafa here, but I need to clarify the truth to prevent decent people from being mislead by political propaganda of the CCP. This may give rise to cultural, racial and religious disharmony amongst Singaporeans.
