Clarifying the Truth to the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company

Sept. 25, 2001 |   A Western practitioner

I would like to write this article to share my experience of clarifying the truth to the CEO of the company I work for, a Fortune 500 company with 6000+ employees and significant operations in Mainland China.

Clarifying the truth about Dafa is in a way so simple and pure and at the same time so majestic. It is simple because we speak from our hearts, we just tell the truth, we don't have anything to hide, we don't try to manipulate people, -- it is just a simple and true message: "Falun Dafa is good" and whoever is persecuting It is wrong. The power of Dafa is what makes it possible to convey such a message in a clear way. In the past I would have been quite apprehensive about talking to the head person of the company and would have found it difficult to do in a relaxed way.

I did not make an appointment with the CEO, I just knocked at his door late in the day, asking him if he has a bit of time. He said, sure. I started by saying that I would like to talk to him for a little bit about Falun Gong. I mentioned the fact that I practice myself, that everything I encountered in regards to this practice had been nothing but good, how the practitioners are improving their minds and bodies through the practice and are taught by the principles of the practice to do good things and be kind. I also mentioned how irrational the draconian persecution in China is; how in two years there has been no violence returned by the practitioners even though they have been beaten, tortured and murdered; and how the Chinese government is trying to infiltrate the whole world with its slandering propaganda. As I myself am very familiar with the practice, I realize how untrue the Chinese government propaganda is, and therefore I would like to help protect the reputation of this great practice. Among other things, I also mentioned Resolution 188 as well as the fact that Falun Gong has no interest in politics.

The CEO listened attentively, and said he appreciated the input. He will also contact me if he will be looking for more information in the future, or if he has any questions about Falun Gong in general. As my entire management is familiar with my involvement with Falun Gong, it will not be difficult for him or anyone else to get a hold of me with any questions.

Throughout this experience and others I kept in my mind Teacher's words from the Washington DC experience sharing conference:

... "It was arranged for you to obtain the Fa here, and it was arranged for you to cultivate here. Many disciples are highly educated, and the vast majority of the disciples outside China have advanced degrees. Why is this the case? It's precisely to have you put to full use at this crucial time what you've learned among everyday people and are good at, to have you validate the Fa using the everyday people's skills Dafa created for people in this world"...
