(Clearwisdom.net) During the holidays, from July 28 to August 1, Swiss Dafa practitioners went to Turkey, San Marino, Liechtenstein and other countries. They then continued their journey of spreading the Fa and clarifying the truth by visiting Czechoslovakia, an Eastern European country.

In order to make the best use of this opportunity to spread the Fa, a practitioner had traveled there prior to the trip in order to make some arrangements. He also worked with a Czechoslovakian printing company in order to print more than 50,000 copies of colored German Dafa materials in advance.

On the afternoon of July 27, a number of Swiss Dafa practitioners left in their cars on their way way to Czechoslovakia. At 3 AM on July 28, after more than 10 hours of driving, they finally arrived. They began to practice the exercises in the park at 8:00am after a brief break. Due to not having enough time to apply for visas in order to be able to cross the border, other practitioners changed their travel plans and directly flew to Czechoslovakia. From the airport, they immediately went to the park to practice the exercises and to spread the Fa. The schedule for these three days was very tight. We practiced the exercises and spread the Fa from 8am to 5pm everyday in the park and the downtown area, even during lunchtime. The posters and materials played very good roles. Many tourists stopped to read them, ask us for materials and to raise questions. After understanding the truth, they had very good impressions of Falun Dafa, and supported Falun Dafa. Some tourists immediately expressed their desire to practice Dafa. Eleven of them registered for the Fa introduction class conducted for new practitioners.

Many people read the posters and looked at the pictures. They were extremely surprised and couldn't comprehend the fact that 258 people had lost their lives while in the custody of Jiang Zemin's regime, simply because of their belief in Dafa. We also met several overseas Chinese, who had heard about the persecution of Falun Dafa in China. They were indignant and told us that "there are no human rights in China now." They also expressed their sympathy and support for Dafa practitioners.

During these three days, we went to the Chinese Embassy in Czechoslovakia each night at 7:30pm to do the exercises and to send forth righteous thoughts. We displayed the Chinese character dian [Note: Chinese character representing "mourning" in memory of those who have passed away] which was hand made by some Swiss Dafa practitioners in order to remember those fellow practitioners who have lost their lives in China. We also put up large posters that said, "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance." In addition, the Czechoslovakia National Television Broadcast Station and three other major newspapers came to interview us in front of the Chinese Embassy. That very evening, the Czechoslovakian National Television Broadcast Station reported the news to the nation.

The Chinese embassy's iron-gate was usually open. However, they immediately closed it after we arrived. We did the exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts in a dignified and noble manner, but the embassy staff appeared to feel uneasy. They were afraid of being video taped or having their picture taken, so they hid inside and just peeped out at us.

All the practitioners that participated in this activity firmly kept Master's words in mind, and took it upon themselves to spread and rectify the Fa, and to take part in the activity whole-heartedly. While overcoming numerous difficulties, a young Swiss couple with two young children, drove more than 1,000 kilometers [about 625 miles] in order to join us in spreading the Fa and clarifying the truth. In Czechoslovakia, we started spreading the Fa at 8:00am every morning and continued until it was time to go to practice the exercises and send forth righteous thoughts in front of the Chinese Embassy. We ate fast food, and almost didn't have time to have any breaks during the day, even at lunchtime. After more than 10 hours of driving, the practitioners were very tired. However, they became fully invigorated as soon as they found out where our Fa spreading activities would take place. It was a very moving scene. The local Czechoslovakian practitioners did a lot of work in order to support this Fa-spreading activity. They printed the Dafa materials in Czechoslovakian and contacted the media in advance.

Through this event, we realized that Dafa belongs to the entire world. Dafa practitioners in this world are one body. We felt that we were closer to the Czechoslovakian practitioners than to our own family members, as soon as we met. Although there was a language barrier between us, we worked harmoniously together in order to reach the same grand goal -- to spread the Fa, clarify the truth, and expose the evil. This activity was a complete success!
