Holland: "I see your kind hearts"

On the first weekend in September, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners participated in an annual cultural festival in the old Belgian city of Liesel. There were more than one hundred organisations taking part in this activity. Practitioners introduced Falun Gong to people and told them about the persecution launched by the CCP against Falun Gong. People were attracted to striking pictures, beautiful paper lotus flowers and balloons printed with ‘‘Falun Dafa is good, the world needs Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance’’. There were many people who came forward to acquire materials.

A lady who already knew the truth (middle), brought her mother and came to visit Falun Gong practitioners, she said: ‘‘I was moved by you all, what I see are your kind hearts.’’

A Chinese couple came to our exhibition table, told practitioners that they had understood Falun Gong from different points of view; today they especially came to buy Falun Gong books and exercise instruction tapes. Practitioners asked them whether they had read the editorial published by The Epoch Times newspaper entitled ‘‘The Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party’’. They said that they had watched the Commentaries on New Tang Dynasty TV, and were adamant that all Chinese people should read this book.

The crowd came to the Falun Gong exhibition table in an endless stream, a few youngsters from the Boy Scout Association also came to have a look; they had a friendly conversation with practitioners. When they heard that the CCP has been persecuting Falun Gong for seven years, they were shocked. At last, our practitioners heavy-heartedly said, ‘‘Everyone has responsibly to help to end this persecution as soon as possible.’’ They nodded their heads and expressed that they will go to websites to find more information about Falun Gong.

A lady jcame to the festival on the first day, she was attracted by beautiful paper lotus flowers when she passed our exhibition table. At the time, she knew about Falun Gong being persecuted by the CCP and the meaning and significance of the lotus flower. She started to learn to make paper lotus flower earnestly. Just before she left, she obtained some leaflets and a copy of the French ‘‘Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party’’. The next day, she brought her mother to visit Falun Gong practitioners, and gave practitioners her own lotus flowers having learned to make them from yesterday’s experience. She said, ‘‘I was moved by you, and what I see are your kind hearts.’’

With only two days of the Festival, the beauty of Falun Dafa has quietly permeated people’s hearts. After the activity, two teachers from a qigong school came to visit us, and said with smile, ‘‘Many of us are paying attention to you. But there is one point I cannot understand that why you don’t charge?’’ Practitioners told them that Falun Gong is both for mind and body; cultivating mind is the first thing, exercises are second; You cannot pursue fame or money by cultivating Falun Gong, improving mind is the key. Practitioners also demonstrated the five sets of exercises and the principles of Falun Gong, they were very interested and each of them has obtained a copy of the French edition of Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa.
