By Dafa Practitioner in Germany

(Clearwisdom.net) As the progress of Fa-rectification advances continuously and rapidly, evil forces in other dimensions are being quickly eliminated, and everyday people are gradually awaking. Dafa disciples' magnificent feats amidst the evil persecution of Dafa in Mainland China have shaken the universe, and moved all the gods to tears.

The righteous actions of the practitioners have also widely attracted close attention from various circles in Germany. Many people are pondering the questions: What is Falun Gong? Why are so many people practicing it? And why do they risk their life to uphold their belief?

Since the true words of Falun Gong contrast sharply with the propaganda from the Chinese government, some universities and research units began research programs on Falun Gong phenomena.

At the beginning of this winter semester, a new research course, "Falun Gong," was offered by the Department of Theology at Goettingen University. This course is presently being offered two hours per week, and has attracted many students. Students in the class are required to read through Zhuan Falun and get familiar with the Falun Gong websites. At the same time, they analyze the negative propaganda materials from the Chinese government authorities. The goal of this course is to make a conclusion based on their research, as to whether Falun Gong is a religion, a philosophy, a spiritual movement, or any other theory. The host professor of this course contacted Dafa practitioners on his/her own initiative to prepare a symposium to be held in January of 2002, in order to help students better understand Falun Gong, and the real meaning of the principles given in Zhuan Falun.

Since as early as August of 1998, Falun Gong has been listed as a formal course in the course table offered in every semester by the Department of Physical Training at Goettingen University. Now, in addition, a Falun Gong research course has been offered at this university. We hope that even more people with predestinated relationships can obtain the Fa through these kinds of channels.
