(Clearwisdom.net) Auckland Airport removed a Falun Gong billboard under pressure from the Chinese Embassy. In order to give kindhearted New Zealanders an opportunity to express their concern and support, and to request the airport to re-post the removed Falun Gong billboard, we, several older practitioners, recently held a signature-collecting activity at the Auckland Airport.
During the entire process, we fully felt the power of righteous thoughts. Teacher said in "Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. Fa Conference,"
"On the surface, we're seeking support for Dafa from the world's people. This is the thinking of the worldly human side, manifest in this human place. Yet it's reversed on the other side. Whoever supports Dafa or advocates for Dafa is establishing for himself his being's existence in the future and is laying a foundation for obtaining the Fa in the future."
Each time before we went out to collect signatures, we would send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors in other dimensions that hinder people from knowing the truth. The effect has been very good.
Even though we did not know much English, we often received enthusiastic responses when we handed passengers the signature book with pictures and explanations on it. There were people who happily said, "Ah, Falun Gong!" as soon as they saw the book. There were also people who gave us a thumbs-up after they signed their names, saying: "Falun Gong, Very good." We also had people who came up to hug us. Although we could not understand what they said to us, we could feel the support from their gestures and facial expressions. I once met an elderly gentleman who also asked his wife and son to come to sign their names after he signed his name. There were also people who already signed their name, but later came back for more Dafa materials and CDs.
Of course, we also met people who were hesitant to sign. However, the power of righteous thoughts is truly strong. Each time after sending forth righteous thoughts, the people who were hesitating would pick up the pen and sign their names.
