Introducing Falun Gong at a University Meeting

I am a student attending military university. Currently, I am a senior at the university. At the beginning of this school year, during the freshman military training period, a junior from the Student Association invited me to represent the seniors in a joint meeting between the seniors, juniors and freshmen. I declined at first, thinking the event was being held for the younger students, and that I am now a senior. But I changed my mind after realising that I could use this opportunity to let more people learn the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution and so I happily accepted the invitation.

At 6 p.m. that evening, the time and location of the meeting were still undecided. I realised that this was interference so I sent forth righteous thoughts. Ten minutes later, someone informed me of the meeting time and location.

When I learnt that I was scheduled to be the last speaker, I knew that this was Master's arrangement that there would not be a time limit on my speech, allowing me to say more. When it was my turn, I started my speech with an introduction to our university. Since we practitioners speak the truth and we think of matters with righteous thoughts, the first several minutes of my speech stimulated great interest from the over 90 students in the audience and they listened quietly to me.

The second part of my speech was about how to be a good person. I spoke about trying to be sincere, kind and tolerant. Then I elaborated on my points. They felt that my view was fresh and they listened attentively. At last, I spoke about matters that college students should pay attention to. In this way the truth about Falun Dafa was naturally brought up. I shared about the practice being defamed and persecuted, and the current situation of Falun Dafa being widely spread around the world. I also told them the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Since I had talked about being sincere, kind and tolerant as a human being at the beginning of my speech, when I shared about Falun Dafa teaching people to follow the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance," they naturally accepted it. My speech lasted over an hour with much applause throughout. Many students asked for my cell phone number.

After the meeting, many people surrounded me to ask questions. Afterwards, a lot of them sent me short messages and asked me to meet with them individually. I was very happy. As we were in an academic environment, we could not go into too much detail. It will be better to speak with them individually about topics that are of interest to them.
