Denmark: Falun Gong Practitioners Invited to Participate in Night of Culture in Copenhagen

The 14th of October was a cultural night in the Danish capital Copenhagen. The most ancient city in Northern Europe attracts tourists from all over the world with its pronounced, elegant cultural atmosphere. This year happens to be the bi-centennial anniversary of Hans Christian Andersen’s birthday. The cultural night’s programme was richer than normal. After dark, people crowded to each activity centre in the city to participate in various folk festivities.

Falun Gong practitioners from Copenhagen and Malmo in Sweden joined the happy crowd. Beautiful fairy maiden clothes contrasted with golden exercise uniforms. A song composed by practitioners entitled, “Falun Dafa is Good” combined with a gentle Lotus Dance and a peaceful demonstration of the exercises brought surreal harmony into this noisy world. Falun Gong leaflets and paper lotus flowers allowed the audience to learn more about Falun Gong.

The audience showed appreciation with ardent applause and some could not help but follow the movements of the exercises. Some had long chats with practitioners about the current and future state of China, the Falun Gong phenomena, life experiences, economic benefits and the concept of value in this world.

Following a long talk with practitioners, two monks from South East Asia noted down the Falun Gong website so that they could learn about Falun Gong in greater detail.

In the crowd there were also many tourists from mainland China. Some were young students, yet their minds were filled with the propaganda spread by the evil CCP. In the festive atmosphere, they felt much more relaxed. Practitioners talked pleasantly and sincerely with them and after a heart-to-heart exchange, they parted ways in a friendly manner, and hoped that they might begin to think differently about Falun Gong.
