Belgium: Dafa Practitioners Celebrate World Falun Dafa Day and the 12th Anniversary of Falun Dafa's Introduction

When Dafa is spreading everywhere, all the Heavens celebrate together. On May 15th, Belgian Dafa disciples came to Antwerp to celebrate the fifth World Falun Dafa Day and the twelfth anniversary of the introduction of Falun Dafa. The location was beside a busy shopping street. When we unfurled banners and began to practice the exercises many people came right away, attracted by the graceful and peaceful movements.

A lot of people came looking for materials that explained the facts, and several practitioners could not keep up with the demand. Dutch, French, English and Chinese materials were all distributed. People came one after another to ask how to practice the exercises and the whereabouts of the exercise sites. Dutch practitioners brought lilies handmade lotus flowers to give to those children who crowded around to watch the demonstration of the exercises.

There were Chinese people passing by off and on. When they saw the Falun Gong practitioners practice the exercises, most accepted the materials and listened to the introductions by Chinese and western practitioners. A Chinese student learning music in Belgium began to treat seriously Falun Gong after the Chinese practitioner’s kindly explanation with good reasons and evidences. Besides, western practitioners talked about their own cultivation experience, the student thoroughly changed his impression of Falun Gong formed by rumours circulated by the Chinese government and would like to further understand the situation about practicing the exercises.

It is such a blessing when Chinese people come to understand the truth of Falun Gong . We wish them to have a blessing and they gladly accepted the materials about Falun Gong. Some of the locally born Chinese could not read Chinese, but they expressed they would bring them to their parents. Some of them said we are the people on the same side.

A man who came over to take pictures said to a practitioner, “Not only the scene of practicing exercises is beautiful, but the messages to the public are wonderful."
