Falun Dafa/Gong

The beautiful thing about investing in stocks actually (and working in general) is your interacting and interconnecting with the world outside. Had a stock that suffered from a chinese government deal-back-out, rumored to be because of some of the political unrest out there.

(see: http://www.smarthouse.com.au/Smart_Ideas/Outdoor/G9U8P7G6 )

Which led me into reading about Falun Gong or Falun Dafa (the group the Chinese Govt is against, and I really hope all the horrible accounts I read about the persecution are exaggerations.. terrible). Found their website http://www.falundafa.org/eng/intro.html and some promotional videos of the practice on youtube.

anyways, just the piece I thought to put down: the 3 tenets of the system --- Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forebearance ... sounds alot like (l'havdil) Hesed, Gevura, & Tiferet to me.
