(Clearwisdom.net) On June 4, Falun Gong practitioners from Linz, Austria, held a Falun Gong Information Day downtown to expose the brutality of the 12-year-long persecution in China to the local public.
Clarifying the truth
Demonstrating the sitting meditation
Local practitioners have held similar events many times since the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, so many citizens have learned the facts. Although it was hot that day, many people stopped at the practitioners' booth and signed a petition to condemn the persecution.
Four-year-old Sofie and her dad passed by the booth. She was immediately attracted to the exercises. She asked her dad to buy a mat that is used for sitting meditation and wanted to learn the exercises right away. Practitioners told them that they would have a group exercise in the park the next morning. Sofie and her dad said that they would get up early and join them.
The next morning, Sofie and her dad showed up at the exercise site with the mat. They learned the five sets of exercises.
A lady from Hamburg told a practitioner that one of her friends gave her a copy of Zhuan Falun as a gift. She often reads it, and tries to follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in her daily life. She was surprised that she was able to quickly quit smoking and drinking.
