Israel Dafa Conference and Activities of Fa Spreading and Fa-Rectification around Israel (Photos)
By practitioners from Israel (Clearwisdom.net) During the period from September 30 and October 5, 2002, Israeli Falun Dafa practitioners held a six-day international experience-sharing conference and activities in different cities. Participating in the conference and activities were practitioners from England, the United States, Australia, Russia, Belgium, Sweden, Taiwan and from all over Israel. On September 30, practitioners held a march in the southern city of Beer
Sheva. In the morning of October 1, the march started at the intersection of the
north railway station of Tel Aviv. After marching through the streets of Tel
Aviv, the practitioners arrived at Rabin Square for group practice and sending
forth righteous thoughts. Afterwards, the practitioners gathered opposite the
Chinese Embassy for peaceful practice and appeal. In the morning of October 2, Dafa practitioners and conference participants
practiced together in the square of a shopping center in northern Tel Aviv.
Later, practitioners shared their cultivation experiences in Hebrew, Chinese,
Russian and English. Practitioners of different backgrounds and nationalities
shared with the audience their stories of benefiting from the cultivation of
xinxing based on the principles of
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." At the same time, practitioners
told the stories of persecution by the Chinese government. Australian
practitioner, Dai Zhizhen and her two-year-old daughter Fadu also participated
in the conference. In her experience sharing, she told about the health benefits
and harmony her family enjoyed, thanks to the practice of Falun Gong. After the
persecution started, her husband, Chen Chengyong was arrested and murdered due
to peacefully appealing to the Chinese government. Chen's father also died
shortly afterwards because of the persecution. Chen's sister was sentenced to
labor camp for 15 months without any legal procedure. Due to the torture she
became mentally disturbed. A practitioner who went to Tiananmen Square for
Fa-rectification told the story of his arrest. During the conference an announcement was made on the joint effort of Israeli
and German practitioners appealing for the help of the government of both
countries and of the world to release an Israeli practitioner's sister (also a
practitioner), Xiong Wei. Xiong Wei was a student at Technical Berlin
University", and was arrested because she was telling the truth in the
streets of Beijing. An announcement was also made on the formal publishing of the book Zhuan
Falun in Hebrew. In the morning of October 3, practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa
exercises in the square opposite the central bus station in Jerusalem, and
introduced the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and
the brutal persecution the Chinese government is doing to the practitioners.
Later the march reached a small park, where we practiced and sent forth
righteous thoughts. When we reached the old city of Jerusalem, we divided into
small groups and gave out flyers in different languages inside the city. Later
we practiced and sent forth righteous thoughts on the square outside the Jaffa
Gate. On October 4, visiting and local practitioners rented a tour bus and arrived
at the Dead Sea to spread the Fa and practicing the exercises in a tourist
resort. On the way there, we discovered a site where about 150 Chinese workers
live and clarified the truth to them. On the bus, practitioners made use of the
valuable time together to share experiences. On October 5, practitioners divided into two groups. Chinese speaking
practitioners went to the place where Chinese workers meet during the weekend
for truth-clarification. The rest of the practitioners went to two cities in
northern Israel to spread the Fa. The same night, practitioners came to the
Chinese Embassy and joined the sending forth righteous thoughts of Sunday
morning. We thank our Master for arranging for us these six full days, which enabled
many people to be saved. |
