Austria: Predestined Encounters during an Experience Sharing Gathering in Vienna
2005-02-18

He was already familiar with other qigong practices and was delighted to hear that there was a Falun Gong group exercise practice the next day. It was astounding to see him next morning; he was already able to do the first four exercises from beginning to end. -

A Letter from the European Falun Dafa Association
2005-02-07"We have recently learned of a sinister campaign being conducted by the Chinese authorities to target foreign governments and their institutions. Their aim is to spread lies, incite hatred and create misunderstanding against people who practise a popular form of traditional Chinese practice called Falun Gong.
