A Precious Gift - Celebrating Ten Years of Falun Dafa in Sweden

At the end of February in 1995, a friend of mine told me that a qigong-master from China with great wisdom would come to Gothenburg to hold lectures. I felt in my heart that I wanted to attend these lectures and submitted my application for the course.

Master Li first held three introductory lectures in Gothenburg and I went to listen to all three of them. When I saw Master entering the lecture hall, I felt so happy inside. The following lectures were very interesting and intuitively I understood Master’s knowledge was extraordinary. It was like a new and vast world had opened up for me that gave me new energy and hope in life’s difficulties.

Master went on to give a seven-day lecture. Even though we listened for many hours every evening, we were never tired. In the seven-day lecture, Master told us what cultivation is and how important it is for human beings to be benevolent and unselfish. Master was always so kind and compassionate. We had many questions that He answered with great patience.

We learned the exercises and Master carefully corrected our movements. I liked the exercises and felt a strong energy field when practising. During the course the back pain I had suffered from for a long time disappeared and my body started feeling light and comfortable.

I remember the sunny and warm Sunday morning after the course had ended when we gathered for the first group exercise practice on the hill close to Redbergsplatsen. Master came to see us before leaving Sweden. All of us were surprised and so happy to see Him again.

Master practised with us on that day and did the last corrections of our movements. Before Master left we took a picture together on the hill. This exact place has been our practice site in Gothenburg ever since that day in 1995.

With gratitude in my heart for everything Master has done for us, I remember that in my mind I had a certain feeling that Master had given us a precious gift and great knowledge. I knew that this was the path I would walk and that it was a very good path, which I had been waiting for all my life.
