UK: A Few Stories that Happened at the Chinese Embassy

I haven’t been at the Chinese embassy for long, but I have encountered all kinds of weather, and have experienced all kinds of moving situations.

Once when I was doing the meditation exercise, I heard someone talking to me in one of the cars passing by. I didn’t understand what the people were saying because I don’t understand English. When I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of plump little hands making a sign to praise me. I didn’t see his/her face but only those small hands. Perhaps he/she was only five or six.

On a snowy and windy day, a couple stopped by my side. They invited me to have a cup of coffee or tea with them. There was also a group of elderly people, perhaps from a travel group, who asked their leader what Falun Gong is all about. I gave them some leaflets and also turned on the music. They practiced the first set of exercises with me and when they left, they all waved goodbye to me from their coach. There were also lots more stories and I know that are Master’s encouragements to me. I feel glad that more and more people are getting to know the truth about Falun Gong and more and more and more people want to find out the truth about Falun Gong.

On the 2nd of March, I was sending forth righteous thoughts at twelve o’clock when a young man from America ran towards me from the other side of the road. What made me glad was that he was able to speak Chinese; he had learnt Chinese before in China. He told me that he is currently writing his thesis and chose a subject about China’s Falun Gong. He said that he wanted to know some things about Falun gong. I immediately started telling him the truth about Falun Gong. I was moved and I had tears in my eyes. The young man showed sympathy and understanding about the persecution in China. He said he didn’t want to talk about the Chinese government today but wanted to know the answer to this question. He thinks that there are two kinds of people that practice Falun Gong in China, one kind are the people that have no money and not much to eat; the other kind of people are rich people but feel that there is nothing for them in life. These two kinds of people are all trying to find Falun Gong for help. What kind of help can Falun Gong give to them? I told him that Falun Gong teaches people how to be good. There are rich people and poor people and some of them definitely want to be good people. But how can you be a good person in today’s society? They found the answer in Falun Gong, and that is to follow the characteristics of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. This is the most precious help that Falun Gong had given to them. I also said that it is not only the rich and poor people in China that need the help of Falun Gong, but the people of the whole world needs Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance because it is the hope of the world. The young man agreed with me and said that when he graduates, he will come to London to study and will come here to help Falun Gong. He took three photos of me and I thanked him. He told me not to thank him because we are all the same. He took the VCDs I gave him and said goodbye to me. I told him that there will be people infront of the embassy twenty four hours a day and if he needs any materials, he may come and get them right here. I wished him luck with writing his thesis and hoped that one day he will be able to read the teachings of Falun Gong in Zhuan Falun.
