Switzerland: Interesting Stories from Practitioners Raising Awareness about Falun Gong in Lucerne

After the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published three years ago, many Falun Gong practitioners keep spreading them to the Chinese people. They hope that, after reading the Nine Commentaries, they would know better about the truth of how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has persecuted the Chinese people and will help to stop the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners that is still continuing.

Lucerne, a famous tourist city

In Lucerne, the famous tourist city of Switzerland, the people who are seen everyday to distribute newspapers to Chinese tourists are Falun Gong practitioners. Over the past two years and regardless of wind, rain, snow, cold and heat, they have kept distributing the Nine Commentaries to the Chinese people and persuading them to quit the Communist Party and its associated organisations.

In the beginning, some people did not understand why they were doing that way and were worried that this might disturb the pedestrians. So they reported this to the police. The Falun Gong practitioners told the police in charge and the Mayor of Lucerne that the Falun Gong practitioners in China were suffering inhuman persecution just for their firm belief in being good people with Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. They explained that many Chinese people did not know anything about this because the CCP controlled all the media in China and did not allow the Chinese people to know about the truth. The aim is to control the thoughts of all the people and make them join in the persecution of Falun Gong.

The publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party had enabled a great number of people not only to see clearly that the CCP had never stopped deceiving the people and had never stopped persecuting the masses, but also to learn that the CCP persecution of Falun Gong was just because the CCP could not tolerate Falun Gong to teach people to be good. The more people who knew the truth of the persecution of Falun Gong, the more people who would call for an end to the persecution. So, the Falun Gong practitioners went out to distribute the Chinese version newspapers and the Nine Commentaries in the hope for an early end to the persecution and also in the hope that the Chinese people would be able to truly learn about the CCP’s nature and would neither be deceived by the lies nor aid and abet the evil-doers.
Having learned about the truth, the Mayor and the Police issued a special permit allowing Falun Gong practitioners to distribute newspapers at any time.

The following are the stories about their recent activities.

1. “Will Master Still Take Care of Us?”

During the activities, practitioners met an old couple from the mainland China. The husband of the couple was a Director-General. As the Falun Gong practitioners and the old couple were of similar age, they naturally talked about the issue of health. The practitioners told them that they were practicing Falun Gong. Before the practice, they were suffering from many illnesses and they had to walk with a stick, the bitterness and hardships of which were beyond description. After they had learned to practice Falun Gong after only fifty days, they could walk spryly and could climb the mountains as high as 2300 metres without taking the cable cars. All the illnesses they had once suffered were all gone.

The old couple cried and said, “We used to practice Falun Gong, too.” The husband said, “After I practiced Falun Gong, I recovered from heart trouble and high blood pressure and could walk two steps at a time when climbing upstairs.” The wife also said, “I also recovered from kidney trouble and stomach trouble.” “But,” the husband said, “since the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong unjustifiably on the 20th of July 1999, we faced too much high pressure and experienced daily harassment and endless telephone calls. We did not live a peaceful life all day long and were often threatened by the words that our house would be searched. We could not stand this and gave up the practice under the pressure. For this we felt sad and suffered great pain. It is more important for us to find Falun Gong here again than our tourism itself. Because we have stopped practicing Falun Gong, we are now again suffering from the illnesses. I have been hospitalised and have had operations.” The couple all said that this evil CCP is really doing people great harm. The practitioners said that the cruelest thing is that this evil Party has been harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for high profit, which has aroused the great indignation of both men and gods. In Guizhou, a “Stone with Words of the Doom of the Chinese Communist Party” has appeared which indicating that the downfall of the CCP is the God’s will. Please withdraw quickly from the CCP and its associated organisations. The old couple said, “We withdrew from the CCP long time ago and have never participated in any activities of the evil Party ever since.” The practitioners persuaded that they could have pseudo names and should better formally announce the withdrawal. They all agreed to this. Then the practitioners asked them whether their other family members had quit the CCP. They answered that their children did not believe the CCP and wanted to quit the CCP but had not made formal announcement yet. After going home from this travel, they would ask them for permission and think of a way to ask the practitioners for help. The practitioners agreed. Afterwards, they asked the practitioners again, “We still want to practice Falun Gong, will Master still take care of us?” The practitioners said, “Master will not leave out anybody who has predestined relationship. If you really want to practice cultivation, Master will surely take care. Master will only take care of true practitioners.” They said that they really wanted to practice but it was difficult to get a copy of the book Zhuan Falun at home. The practitioners offered their help to them at once.

Very soon after their return home, they contacted the practitioners and told them that their six children all agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its associated organisations. They themselves had resumed their cultivation practice and had taken active part in the activities of quitting the CCP and its associated organisations. They were also delighted to tell the practitioners that Master had again taken care of them. The husband once encountered a traffic accident. It was frightening but did not put him in danger because it was Master who safeguarded him. He was grateful to Master. The practitioners were also delighted for them.

2. The Personal Experience of an Overseas Student

A young man who came from the mainland China said to the practitioners whenever he saw them distributing the materials, “the Communist Party is really coming to an end.” He did a very regretful thing. He had studied in an overseas country for four years. He heard that the Chinese economy was developing and it was very easy to make money. As he was eager to make money at that time, he came back to China and was set on doing business for making money. “I had never thought how dark it was behind the CCP many of which were immoral. I have now seen clearly that, under the rule of the CCP, it is not easy to do business. Doing business needs personal relations. You need to find the relations if you do not have them. You need to have money or give a red paper envelope with money in it for bribing the relations. You will be looked down upon or you can not get help if you give little money. I could not afford more. This is not the society of humankind? I have been so regretful for returning to China.” The practitioners told him, “The CCP officials are all corrupt. The morality is declining. Do you know that the CCP are harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for high profit?” He said, “I know. I have heard about it abroad. The CCP is worse than the Nazis.” The practitioners said again, “The downfall of the CCP is God’s will. More than 29 million people have quit the CCP and its associated organisations. Have you quit these?” He said, “I have heard the broadcast several times at home from the telephone calls of the Falun Gong about quitting and have quit the CCP and the associated organisations already.”

3. The Tourist Guide Who Knows the Truth Well

One day, the practitioners, seeing a group of tourists from mainland China, went up to distribute to them the truth clarifying material. Some of the tourists used bad language and drove the practitioners away not allowing them to distribute the material and to tell people about Falun Gong. The practitioners, while saying Falun Dafa was good, told them the truth and persuaded them not to listen to the lies of the CCP and to quit the CCP and its associated organisations for their own safety and for avoiding disasters. When some of the tourists used abusive language, the practitioners persuaded them not to repeat the abusive language. The practitioners told them that it was not right to use abusive language and talked with them as they distributed leaflets.

At this time, the tourist guide said to the tourists, “Please come over here everybody, when we are traveling here in Europe, we need to know that when in Rome do as the Romans do. The laws here in Europe provide that there is freedom of speech and distributing the material is also free. You may listen and you may take the material. When you read the material, you may keep them in mind and learn them by heart. It will do if you do not take the materials back with you. Do not treat them (the practitioners distributing the materials) in that unfriendly manner. I just tell you that our next stop will be France where there will also be Falun Gong practitioners distributing the material. Your attention is drawn to the image of us Chinese people.” Upon hearing this, the practitioners felt so pleased for the tourist guide who knows the truth well.
