Sweden: Introducing Falun Gong and Informing People about the Persecution at a Health Expo

The autumn weather in Sweden is very easy and cool with clear blue skies. On October 14th and 15th, Falun Gong practitioners were invited to take part in “Wellbeing Day” held by the Hallunda community in Stockholm. The Falun Gong booth was decorated with banners and well stocked with books, CDs, videotapes, hand-folded paper lotus flowers, information pamphlets, paintings by artists who practise Falun Gong, as well as copies of the Epoch Times newspaper's editorial, the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party”.

People sign their names one after another to call for the end of the persecution

People were so moved by the traditional-style Chinese music and gentle exercises

During the exposition, local people had a good opportunity to learn to understand Falun Gong and the persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Many were moved by the melodious music and gentle exercises. Some inquired about practice sites, others were bewildered as to why the CCP persecutes Falun Gong. In particular, they were shocked by the cruelty of the CCP and that the CCP harvests living Falun Gong practitioners’ organs and crematez their bodies to hide the evidence.

People crowded the booth. Practitioners demonstrating the exercises and explained to people outside the hall that Falun Gong is a genuine path of self-cultivation and benevolence. The person in charge of the exposition appreciated our presence, saying, “Wonderful! You are a great advertisment for our exposition.”
A lady from China chatted with Falun Gong practitioners, who explained the truth of the Tiananmen 'self-immolation' incident and introduced to her the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party”, which is causing a tide of withdrawals from the CCP. They urged her to make a withdrawal statement on the internet.

In the afternoon, the sponsor of the expo offered a place for Falun Gong practitioners to give instructions of the exercises to interested people. Every interested person felt the strong energy flow. A lady said, “I am very lucky to have encountered Falun Gong today. Several years ago on a trip to Spain, one morning I took a walk and saw ten persons shrouded in the glimmer of the sun in daybreak. They were practicing Falun Gong. That scene was very beautiful, absolutely transcending the mundane. It was regrettable that I had to leave. Please give your contact details to me. I want to learn it. Thank you very much.”
