Northern Ireland: Introducing Falun Dafa in Belfast

Belfast in Northern Ireland on Saturday the 14th was a wonderful place to be as it was blessed with sunshine. Irish Dafa practitioners went there to promote Falun Gong and let people know about the five-year campaign of persecution being waged against practitioners in China.

We travelled up by bus to Drogheda where we were met by fellow practitioners and boarded the train to Belfast. We read Zhuan Falun [the main text of Falun Gong] and handed out leaflets on the train.

Upon arrival we set up in Band Square and started to send righteous thoughts. We handed out about a thousand leaflets and most people readily accepted them. We talked to many people and felt we were well received. Shortly after our arrival a newlywed practitioner couple joined us to help clarify the truth.

Later in the afternoon, two practitioners left with three gentlemen who had prearranged to be taught the exercises. These three gentlemen had practised the Taoist faith and martial arts for many years. Two of the three had already read Zhuan Falun and Falun Gong [Falun Dafa's introductory book] and the other was half way through Zhuan Falun. In the house where we taught the exercises there were many beautifully carved wooden Buddha statues.

After we finished spreading the Fa we headed home happy in the knowledge that many more people now know of Falun Dafa and hopefully their lives can benefit too.
