Your meditation can help stop the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

http://www.millionminutesofmeditation.org/

This July marks exactly 10 years since the Chinese Communist Party began a
campaign of imprisonment, propaganda, torture, and murder to eradicate Falun
Gong, a practice of meditation and spiritual cultivation based on the
principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. Falun Gong was once
celebrated by the Chinese government for its health benefits and moral
teachings, but as the practice grew in popularity throughout the 1990's, the
Communist Party began to see it as an ideological threat, eventually banning
it outright. Practitioners of Falun Gong have maintained their peaceful
beliefs in the face of this oppression, and their efforts to regain their
freedom have always been non-violent and in line with the tenets of their
faith. Hundreds of thousands have been imprisoned without trial. Millions
have lost jobs, homes, and loved ones. Over 3,200 have been tortured to
death for their beliefs.

So here's what you can do to help:
Take a minute or two-or more-and just sit, meditate, or pray in your way.
Think about the principles that guide your life or what freedom of belief
means to you, and then simply donate those minutes of meditation to help
stop the persecution of Falun Gong by filling in the form on the left. If
you find the experience rewarding, do it again another day, and ask a few
friends to do the same. Our goal is to raise over a million minutes of
meditation by July 19.
Million of thanks!
