Munich, Germany: Falun Dafa Practitioners Peacefully Protest in Front of the Chinese Consulate

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners have been peacefully protesting in front of the General Consulate of China in Munich, Germany, every Thursday for several years. They promote the beauty of Falun Dafa and expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) ongoing persecution and crimes of forced live organ harvesting.

Practitioners’ persistence has helped many local residents learn about Falun Dafa. Many people have signed a petition to help end the CCP’s persecution and praised practitioners for their efforts.

Aniela Adams, a German photographer, saw Falun Dafa practitioners peacefully protesting in front of the consulate on November 17, 2022. “Do you come to the Chinese Consulate every week?” she asked, “For how long are you here for each time? I must tell the people who live in my neighborhood so they can come and sign this petition and help end the persecution.”

She said she had signed the petition in the past. “I share the same hopes as you. I wish for the world to become a better place. I hope that by trying our best, our wishes can come true,” she said.

“It’s easy to just sign a petition. I wish I could do more for you,” she said. “It is shameful for a country to destroy the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. It is a disaster.”

Retired Pastor: The Principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are Important

Reinhard, a retired pastor, stopped his bicycle after seeing practitioners’ activities at the consulate. He chatted with practitioners for a while and signed the petition to stop the CCP’s forced live organ harvesting. “People should be able to distinguish good and bad for themselves. They do not need a party or an organization to tell them what to do,” he said.

“I believe that people should be able to think and speak for themselves. One should not be stripped away from anything. Everyone has their own path,” Reinhard said.

Reinhard was happy to learn that practitioners abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. He said that he does something similar in Christianity.

“I think that it is great that practitioners cultivate the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. People should be able to look inward. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance portrays a beautiful life. People should be truthful, compassionate and be tolerant of each other. These are important principles,” he said.

Reinhard continued, “I feel close and familiar to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I feel a sense of belonging to those principles. Understanding these principles surpasses any religion and faith.”
