Falun Gong at the Steiner School in Oulu, Finland

A Finnish practitioner

One day I received a phone call from a religion teacher who asked if we could come to her school to talk about Falun Gong and about what is happening in China. She had heard about Falun Gong from her student, who had received a Dafa-flyer in her mailbox.

We went to the school and decided to teach the exercises before talking much. We went through all five exercises and the atmosphere was very peaceful. Many students were very concentrated and interested, especially the teacher. We had only one hour, so we didn't have much time to talk. After the class, the teacher asked us if we could come again the next week and talk for longer. She was very enthusiastic and suggested that we spend two hours there the next time. They really wanted to know more about Falun Gong.

The next time we went to the school, we practised all of the five exercises during the first hour. Then we talked more about the practice and our own cultivation experiences, and about the persecution in China. We played the "self-immolation" video and exposed the evil deeds done by the Chinese government. The students found it really inconceivable what the Chinese government is doing to Falun Gong practitioners. They tried the exercises and got to know the truth of Falun Gong. The difference between the propaganda of the Chinese government and the practise made them speechless. I told the teacher that I had more videos about the situation in China in English. She asked if I could bring one of the English videotapes to her so that the students could then watch it in their English class.
