Practitioner in Russia

(Clearwisdom.net) By request of Jiang Zemin, the Chinese Embassy in Moscow, Russia was going to hold a two-week photo exhibition that slandered Falun Dafa. The Russian practitioners sent out righteous thoughts together. Because no one in Moscow wanted to rent out a place for this kind of evil exhibition, the Embassy had to hold the exhibition in its own building and invited some Russians and a small number of overseas Chinese to attend. Some visitors questioned, "How does the Party have the right to judge others' beliefs and call it an 'evil religion'? Almost every country in the world advocates freedom of belief. Your ruling Party in China says the same, doesn't it? The Party has no right to determine what kind of religion others practice." In the end, the evil exhibition only lasted three hours.

The Chinese Embassy in St. Petersburg finally found a place in a library that didn't know the truth that was willing to hold this two-week evil exhibition. The practitioners in St. Petersburg sent out righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil behind this plan. At the same time they kept clarifying the truth to the government officials and achieved unexpectedly good results.

• A Russian State Congressman, who is also the Chairman of the State Committee of Nationality Issues, wrote a letter to the city government of St. Petersburg and expressed his strong disagreement with such a Chinese propaganda activity that was about to happen on the soil of another country. He pointed out: "Such an exhibition might be a political scheme to violate the legal rights of any Russian citizens who have freedom to organize or join any legal social organization."
• Several major officials in the St. Petersburg City Council stated that since they knew the truth of Falun Dafa, they would not go to the exhibition. One official said, "Your [Falun Gong practitioner] eyes show sincerity and truth; I believe you. I also know about the violation of human rights in China. I would like to do my best to help you."
• On the first day of the news conference, the officials from the Chinese Embassy arrived late and found out that except for a few invited Russian guests, there were almost 30 Dafa practitioners waiting for them. The news conference provided a good opportunity for the practitioners to clarify the truth to the media.
• In order to get more people to come to the exhibit, the Chinese Embassy invited overseas Chinese college students to visit the exhibition. The Dafa practitioners were glad to grasp this opportunity. Dafa materials were distributed to everyone inside the room and at every entrance and no one was missed. Most of the people accepted the materials and sincerely listened to the stories told by the practitioners. Thanks, Master, for such a perfect arrangement.
• The exhibition formally opened the next day. When a staff person working there met a practitioner, they thought this practitioner was a regular visitor and said, "The exhibition has been canceled. There is no need to come." The practitioner later found out that it was because the staff person learned the truth about Falun Gong and resisted the exhibition by telling people not to go.
• There was only one visitor who showed up for the exhibition. After the practitioners told him about the truth of the Falun Dafa, he didn't enter to the room to see the exhibition; instead, he came to the practice site next day.

Although the old forces arranged the exhibition in St. Petersburg, all of it was within the control of Master.
