A small group of practitioners from Europe, Canada and the United States have started making plans to travel to cities, towns and communities throughout eastern, southern and central Europe and Asia. A number of SOS Rescue Walks around the world have already taken place. Their purpose was to clarify the truth, expose the persecution and collect signatures for petitions and government resolutions. We are organizing the Falun Dafa Truth Walk in order to link all the regions that have not had walks to the ones that have, so that we can truly become one body.
When we started to work on the walk we called it the SOS! EarthWalk. And our understanding of what this walk should be was very similar to the SOS! RescueWalks that had already occurred. As we met and discussed the journey and the purpose of it, our understandings began to change.

After exchanging our understandings, we realized that the purpose of this walk is different from the earlier walks. In the current Fa-rectification (telling the truth about Falun Gong and exposing the evil deeds of the persecutors so that the persecution is ended and the truth revealed-editor) period, our understanding and actions must continually upgrade, separating from the old one and incorporating the new ones. Previously, practitioners' activities have already exposed the persecution. It seems the whole world already knows about it, yet Fa-rectification has not been achieved. That is why we have to change our understanding and our actions. And it's crucial that our actions match our understanding.

For the same reason that practitioners in China walk to Tiananmen Square to clarify the truth of Falun Dafa, we are walking across Europe and Asia to call upon all the kind hearted people, international organizations and governments to take a stand for Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. Practitioners in China are not walking to Tiananmen Square to simply rescue those being persecuted; rather they want the world's people to know the truth. By clarifying the truth of Falun Dafa people will know that persecuting those who uphold these principles is a true crime against humanity and those evil actions must be stopped immediately.

The purpose of the S.O.S.! Falun Dafa Truth Walk, The Journey of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is not only to clarify the urgency of what is happening in China now, but also to provide an opportunity to awaken the people of the world to the true meaning of why Falun Dafa disciples in China are being persecuted. It is our understanding that they are being persecuted for standing up for Falun Dafa, Zhen, Shan, Ren, which is outlawed in China. If they lied they would be let out of jail, if they lied they would get their jobs back, if they lied they and their families would not be persecuted, if they lied their children would not be kicked out of school, if they lied they would not be brutally and forcefully "re-educated", if they lied, they would not be tortured to death, if they lied they would stop their exercises and their belief in Falun Dafa. Then Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance would die in China and even more horrifying is if other countries followed by not taking a step against the persecution.

As we travel throughout Europe and Asia we will be bringing this message of the Fa (principles of Falun Gong) to all kind-hearted people and asking for their moral support in taking a stand on the persecution in China. By doing this, everyone can have the opportunity to awaken to the Fa (principles of Falun Gong).

We are hoping that all practitioners in Europe and Asia will join in with the efforts of the SOS! Falun Dafa Truth Walk, The Journey of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. It is our understanding that in this Fa-rectification (telling the truth about Falun Gong and exposing the evil deeds of the persecutors so that the persecution is ended and the truth revealed) period, we need to double our efforts to be clear and diligent and to step forward from this current tribulation. We have all benefited in many ways from this cultivation practice. Now is the time that we can each step forth to offer our skills and abilities.
After much deliberation, we have chosen the name S.O.S.! Falun Dafa Truth Walk, The Journey of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance in order to present to the world the name of the Falun Great Law and to focus on clarifying the truth. With guidance from the Fa, we are cultivating great compassion and exposing the truth. We are moving forward calmly and peacefully, with integrity and nobility. All difficulties are eliminated.

The choice of this name is significant. We are attempting to be guided in this work from the highest level of the Fa (principles of Falun Gong). We are reaching from our hearts to everyone exposing the truth. There are many regions of the world that have not yet had the opportunity to benefit from Falun Dafa. In this journey, we may be crossing war zones in which the people may not be able to understand the severity of nor relate to the persecution in China, but they will be able to understand "truth", they will feel "compassion", and they will be able to admire "forbearance". This is our work.

Please note: this is our understanding we would appreciate any helpful understandings from other practitioners.
