Sweden: Chinese coming to study Human Rights Discover Falun Dafa

A practitioner from Gothenburg phoned me to say that there were 14 Chinese lawyers studying human rights at the Raoul Wallenberg institute in my home city of Lund. She came to Lund and introduced Friends of Falun Gong to the institute; an organisation that works for human rights and has co-operation with China where they are teaching law. We wanted to meet with the Chinese lawyers but we couldn’t find them that day. The institute was very careful and just said that they weren’t there, but they did asked for some Chinese VCDs that they wanted to give to them.

During the following days, I had these Chinese close to my heart and I wondered how I could find them, “…they must be here, I can feel it…”. The day after we’d heard that they would leave, I was biking to an old friend’s house to watch a movie and there they all stood, with nice suits and briefcases thinking that they were waiting for a bus. Actually, in their hearts they were waiting for the truth. I saw that I only had three minutes until they would leave, I got confused and I had their nice suits on my mind, thinking that I don’t have time and I have to do something. I sent forth righteous thoughts as I went to talk to them. They liked that I could speak a little Chinese and smiled. It was so tempting to hastily say that I was practitioner and give them some leaflets. I know that I have to do this with the dignity of a Dafa Disciple, without stress, pursuit and extreme behaviour, or they would just laugh and say no if my mind was not right. I sent forth righteous thoughts and still kept them close to my heart. A lot of my attachments were exposed. Who has the power? Their suits and ignorant “I know best” attitude - isn’t that just a superficial shell, the poison of the old evil forces? Do I see myself as an immense Buddha with boundless virtue and forever great dignity? Could I see their true hearts, their Buddha nature deep inside? Had I the courage and the honest heart to look them straight in the eye through this dirty surface and tell them the truth? Maybe these lawyers have, because of not knowing the true facts, sent many Falun Gong practitioners to labour camps or mental institutions?

The next day after school I went home and my mind was almost exploding. I knew I had let bad things enter my mind and had not studied the Fa well over the last few days. I started to read, but then I felt I should go and read at the railway station instead because the other practitioner said that the lawyers were probably heading for Gothenburg that day on the train. I sat down and read for about an hour and sent forth righteous thoughts. Exactly when I opened my eyes and finished there they all were, sitting about five metres away from me. I thought, “OK, they’re here, and they seem to be waiting for the train”. Then my head quickly got full of all kinds of very strong attachments, thinking of their suits again. My heart understood that I must do this with a righteous mind. I can’t just jump up to them with this state of mind of mine. I’m doing this with the dignity of a Dafa practitioner and I’ll just continue to follow Master’s beautiful arrangement. I closed my eyes to send forth righteous thoughts again. They said “Ahh? Falun Gong ah?” and then I heard the discussion going on quite wildly over there since they saw the full-lotus and the beautiful hand positions of Dafa. I asked for Master’s help: “I must do this righteously, I can’t have bad thoughts now”. Then one of them came and stood close to me and when I was finished we started to talk. It felt so beautifully natural, sitting among all the people and meditating. I was just sitting, but because my heart was right, they approached me. When I opened my eyes, I talked in a calm and natural way. My mind was righteous, my voice was calm and when I looked into their eyes, I saw big eyes looking with wonder at a calm western Dafa practitioner. But my heart immediately wavered when they started to talk about things like cultivation insanity and so on... I have made this mistake so many times: don’t think that the handout material can do the job for you!!! You are the Dafa Disciple, you are validating Dafa and exposing the evil, don’t make the material bigger then yourself. See the truth, see how small and pitiful their bad thoughts are and just help them eliminate their evil thoughts with the deep and calm smile of a Dafa practitioner. Don’t get excited or afraid, put your self in the right position and see before you with a warm heart the goodness in people and the magnificence of Dafa.
