Germany: Introducing Falun Dafa and Exposing the Persecution to the People of Münster

“Just go and look at the pictures", said one mother to her child. This even surprised us. Parents asking their children to look at pictures that depict clearly how people in another part of the world are tortured. In comparison to earlier information days, the situation has made a complete turn around. The people from Münster showed such great interest in learning about the persecution of Falun Gong in China that we had at times a difficult time to put information materials together. Not only a great number of children stopped in front of our information boards, accepted bookmarks and paper lotus flowers, but also adults viewed the pictures and torture re-enactments, or accepted with great interest our flyers. On Saturday October 21st, much interest was shown in what goes on in China’s slave labour camps, concentration camps and hospitals, along the long pedestrian zone in Münster. We were so busy that the day passed quickly.

The passersby not only took our flyers with great interest and signed the different petitions on our table that would be turned over to politicians and human rights organisations, but also stopped for a discussion with practitioners. People had already heard on television what is going on in Communist China. They heard of the suffering under the Party dictatorship and of the exploitation and abuse of the people.

They had heard of the ever-increasing destruction of the environment, the media censorship, the impoverishment and poverty of the Chinese people, the slave labour camps, the suppression of freedom of opinion, the magnitude of human rights violations and the organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners. More and more people are looking at China with critical eyes.

With the help of practitioners from other cities, we set up a small information booth where we showed re-enactments of organ harvesting. This was to show the people about the persecution of Falun Gong and the inhuman and unconscionable organ harvesting. Although the people of Münster generally are very reserved, to our surprise they accepted quite eagerly the brochures this time. Besides, the public showed with the many signatures we collected on that day that they wanted to know about those in China who still suffer today under the Communist Party regime. In the past it was very difficult to reach these people and to let them know about what was happening in China. Today, it was just the opposite. Many people thanked us for the information we gave them. There wasn’t even a single disturbance.

Every Falun Gong practitioner had his or her way to talk to the people and tell them something about the true happenings in China. “Please read and share, so you will participate in helping other humans!” said one of the practitioners, while another one took a bow and gave the person a flyer. Another one had a bright smile on the face and so touched the hearts of the people.

When one passerby asked what we are doing here, someone answered without a second thought, “Saving human lives.” When a blind person said, “But, I can’t read,” the answer came without thinking, “then, whey don’t you ask for someone to read it to you.” The response was, “Yes, for certain, you are completely right.” Another lady asked for one of the petition forms. She wanted to leave it on a table in a homeopathic practice. Others asked for a contact person. There are different ways of telling the truth, but the end effect is the same. It is all about touching and reaching the human heart and that the great hope of an end to the preposterous persecution is shared.
