Practitioners Exchange Insights
Our kind words and deeds are awakening the people. While riding the bus, I told a passenger beside me about the truth of the Tiananmen self-immolation incident. During the course of our conversation, my attitude was always kind and natural. This passenger said, "I really like the way you presented this." Falun Dafa practitioners' benevolent words, deeds and even just a smile, can influence and awaken the people so that they will not oppose, but will instead establish righteous thoughts toward Falun Dafa, and therefore be saved.
The things I do may be very small but they are very thoughtful and sincere. I found that when people do not want to learn Falun Gong, they will not read the brief introduction, and will miss the truth-clarifying content that it contains. Therefore, I wrote down my own story of how I obtained Falun Dafa and how it has changed my mind and body. I share this story with people and ask them to clarify the truth to their friends and relatives in China. I found that they will read my story right away and then later, they will all carefully read the brief Falun Dafa introduction. It makes me very happy that more people are forming ties with Falun Dafa.

More on the inconsistencies around the "Self-immolation" incident: the lack of evidence. We can reasonably assume that there is more video footage than what was broadcasted. From a legal point of view, one would provide as much evidence as possible to prove a case. They should have made more available than just what was shown. What are they hiding and why? The answer is obvious -- they are afraid of people finding out the truth.

On May 20, practitioners from Germany demonstrated Falun Gong exercises at the opening ceremony of the Leisure Festival Road Show of Bavaria. Many in the audience were moved. One German said, "I have never heard such nice music. It is so relaxing and beautiful." Many people wanted to learn the exercises right away. The organizers of the festivals asked the practitioners if we could organize a class locally to promote Falun Gong.
