Belgian Falun Dafa Practitioners Meditate in Front of the Chinese Embassy in Brussels (Photos)

While the Chinese dictator, Jiang Zemin, was touring Eastern Europe, Belgian Falun Dafa practitioners got together on the weekend of June 15 to send forth righteous thoughts [a particular meditation] along with other practitioners all over the world. We sent forth righteous thoughts intensively and for an extended duration. When we weren't sending forth righteous thoughts, we studied the Fa [principles of Falun Gong], exchanged understandings and shared experiences of our activities. As time was limited, it was hard to get a permit from the police to appeal in front of the Chinese Embassy through normal application procedures. Dafa practitioners then clarified the truth to police officers and illustrated the importance of our appeal. In the end, we were granted a permit to stay in front of the Chinese Embassy for all of Monday.

Several Dutch practitioners learned of the news and quickly came to join us, and together we did the Fa Zheng Nian meditation.

A police officer on duty there showed great interest after watching the practitioners' peacefully practicing the exercises. He asked for Dafa books and videotapes from us. A Belgian woman came especially to ask how she could help us. Before leaving, she left her address for future contact.
