Germany: Falun Gong brings a Peaceful Atmosphere to the Regensburg Citizens Festival

During a weekend at the end of June, the medium-sized southern German town of Regensburg welcomed the annual Citizens Festival. In the hot weather, the streets of Regensburg were unusually noisy. Nevertheless, at the Falun Gong stand, the demonstration of Falun Gong’s five sets of exercises, the pure and elegant traditional dances, and the heart-felt songs composed and sung by practitioners showed the public the peaceful and magnificent nature of Falun Gong cultivation practice.

At the stand, tourists picked their favourite bookmarks. Practitioners wrote their names in Chinese with brush pens on the back of the bookmarks and gave them a delicately-made paper lotus flower.

A large number of passing tourists read about rescuing Falun Gong practitioners deported back to China on the display boards. They signed the petition to call for an end to the persecution. Every signature was also supportive of morality and justice for Falun Gong and the practitioners.
