Dresden is the capital of Sachsen Germany. On August 20th and 21st, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners at Dresden were invited again to participate in the Dresden City Festival.
During the two days, Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the five Falun Gong exercises; some distributed leaflets to passers-by; some wrote blessing cards to German citizens. Surrounding the stand there were items, such as banners advertising free teaching of the Falun Gong exercises and hand-made paper Lotus Flowers.

Lots of German people stopped to watch the essence of ancient Chinese culture; some took photos or filmed the demonstration of Falun Gong exercises and some carefully examined the display boards of the cruel persecution of Falun Gong. Some of them were pretty shocked by such a peaceful practice being cruelly persecuted in China and they did not understand why. So they exchanged opinions with fellow practitioners who distributed leaflets. They took away fliers and signed their names to appeal for the release of Falun Gong practitioner Jiang Renzheng sent to the forced labour camp after leaving Germany for China. They also gave blessings to Falun Dafa and Falun Gong practitioners. Some stood in lines in front of the stand to read Falun Gong information and to wait for cards inscribed with Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance.
Some passers-by from China also came to our stand. In the very beginning, they were extremely surprised, and had no idea about Falun Gong being widely spread and being severely persecuted in China. They even found it hard to believe. After fellow practitioners’ patient explanation about the truth, they took materials in Chinese and said that they would know more about Falun Gong once they had the opportunity.

At the same time, a great number of nice German citizens learnt the truth about Falun Gong being cruelly persecuted in China during these two days. Some said that they would like to learn the exercises and we were very happy to invite them to join our weekly group exercise of Falun Gong.
