Clarifying the Truth to Participants in the "Initiative for Peace for Women, Spiritual and Religious Leaders" Conference in Geneva, Switzerland

(Clearwisdom.net) We learned at the last minute that a large-scale conference entitled "Initiative for Peace for Women, Spiritual and Religious leaders" was going to take place in Geneva, with sessions to be held at the United Nations and at the Hotel Beau Rivage. This conference was to follow the "Millennium Conference" of religious leaders held in New York in 2000. Having been unable to attend the opening of this conference like other practitioners, I decided to participate on the following day. Unsure as to whether it was necessary to register in order to participate in the conference, I decided to go there to find out. When I arrived at the hotel where the various meetings were taking place, I saw that a lot of people were there, including representatives of many religious communities. They were eating and talking together informally, so I decided to sit down among them and await the opening of the sessions. I still had thoughts about the registration details but then suddenly I realized that the important thing was to be there with an open heart. I repeated the words that are very close to my heart in difficult moments: "Master, your disciple is here and will remain here no matter what happens." No sooner had I finished that thought when a person sitting opposite me engaged me in conversation. She was wearing her nametag and was a member of a Swiss association. Like myself, she lived in Geneva, so we began talking about various things. She was extremely interested in Falun Gong and asked me a lot of questions. She was horrified by what I told her regarding the situation in China and informed me that she herself had undertaken a long spiritual search. She was very impressed with the teachings of Falun Dafa and felt the Teacher who offered this without any charge must be remarkable. The more we talked the happier I felt for her. I began to think that even if I did not succeed in participating in the meetings, I had not come for nothing. I had come for her, and if I could help just one person it was worth it.
