SOS in Vienna: A Week of Urgent Rescue Activities


(Clearwisdom.net) Austrian Dafa practitioners held a week of SOS urgent rescue activities before July 20th. The activities started with holding a candle light vigil in front of Chinese Embassy and sending forth righteous thoughts. They also went to Stephan Square in the center of the city to promote Dafa and practice the exercises. On July 20th, they held another vigil and sent forth righteous thoughts again in front of Chinese Embassy. They urgently spoke out the truth to the local people and protested Jiang Zemin's group's persecution and murder of Dafa practitioners.

Usually the climate in Vienna is quite pleasant. However, it was windy and rainy during this week. In fact, it once rained for an entire day. Practitioners, whether they were at school, work or traveling, sent forth righteous thoughts together. When the evening SOS activity started, the heavy rain stopped.

Vienna is famous for its music. Every summer there are many tourists, especially in Stephan Square. Everyday, more and more people came to know the truth of Falun Dafa. They came from different countries, and some of them learned the exercises after reading the truth-clarifying literature.

Sometimes there was interference. Once a drunk man stood beside a Dafa practitioner, acting strangely. Practitioners called the police while sending forth righteous thoughts, and he was soon ushered away by the police. We understood that this was not intended for cultivating our individual forbearance. The interference targeting Dafa in the Fa-rectification process should be immediately removed.

More and more people will no longer be deceived by lies, and they have started to condemn the brutality of Jiang Zemin's group. We will improve in our roles as Dafa particles in the future, exposing the evil, just as Teacher stated, "So in clarifying the truth, don't wait, don't rely on others, and don't just hope for changes in external factors."
