Falun Gong Practitioners Hand Truth-Clarifying Materials to the Queen of England During Her Visit to Dundee (Photos)

By a UK Dafa practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) May 28, 2002 was a beautiful, sunny day in the City of Dundee. Many police officers were on the streets of this usually quiet and small city in Scotland. When we inquired about the police presence, one officer told us that Dundee was one of the cities that the Queen and Prince Philip were scheduled to visit during the Golden Jubilee National Celebrations.

I was a little surprised to learn that the Queen would be attending; previously, it was announced that Prince Phillip would come to Dundee University. I thought of handing him a Falun Dafa book and truth-clarifying materials. So, on the morning of the scheduled visit, I gift wrapped Dafa books and truth-clarifying materials. I thought, "Will I have a chance to give the gift to him?" At that moment, I recalled Teacher's words, "At present, humankind's every day is arranged according to Dafa's needs." (From Teacher's article, "What Are Supernormal Abilities.") I enlightened that this might be a chance for the Royal family to learn about Falun Dafa, and that I should improve the righteousness of my thoughts and not let the chance slip away. Thus, three of us decided to divide into two groups and go to two locations that the Queen and Prince were to be at. The other two practitioners went to City Square, and I went to the university.

At the university I discovered that the Prince wasn't planning to meet with the public there, so I went to City Square also. On the route to the square, tens of thousands of people were already waiting for the Prince's arrival. I went ahead toward the center of the crowded square. The Queen was to walk to City Hall from the square's center. I sent forth righteous thoughts and tried to move closer to it. A few people in front of me left, and I moved forward. Then, clouds appeared and light rain started to fall. Prince Phillip arrived at the square first. A broadcast stated that the Queen would be there shortly. The Queen and the Prince had planned on arriving together.

The Prince, the Mayor and the public had to wait for the Queen in the rain. The Prince was on the other side of the square, talking with members of the crowd. I suddenly realized that the separate arrival of the Queen and Prince was not a coincidence. We had the chance to give Prince Philip the Dafa materials during his contact with the public. My mind was blank except for sending forth righteous thoughts. The two people in front of me whispered, "Come here, come to this side." The Prince did come to our side, but talked with people a few feet away. I continued sending forth righteous thoughts, and the two people in front continued their whispering. The Prince then came to us, and I handed him the presents. "Please accept my gift," I said. The Prince asked gladly, "What's this?"

"It's about Chinese traditional culture." I answered.

"Oh, China, I like to go to China. And Chinese culture. ... Yes, what did you say about Chinese culture?" The Prince seemed to be immersed in his recollections of China.

"Yes, they are about ..." At that moment, loudspeakers broadcasted that the Queen had arrived. The Prince accepted the gift. The Queen entered the city hall as the crowds cheered. The two other practitioners did not have a chance to hand her their gifts. We decided to try again when the Queen was to leave. After we asked the police about the Queen's departure route, we went to the other side of the square and sent forth righteous thoughts. At about 4:55 pm, the Queen came to the square again as the onlookers cheered. I had my two-year-old daughter sit on my shoulders and hold the gift, which was wrapped in golden paper. Another practitioner, holding the other gift, stood beside us, and the third practitioner was ready to take photos. Just at the time of Falun Dafa practitioners sending forth righteous thoughts together worldwide (5:00 pm British time), the Queen, accompanied by the royal family members, walked right to us. She accepted the gift that my daughter handed to her, and she asked, "What's this?"

"It is a Chinese music CD with Pudu and Jishi," I answered.

"Chinese music?" the Queen asked again and tried to figure out what exactly it was.

I said, "Yes, it is" At that moment, the practitioner beside me handed her the Dafa truth-clarifying materials. The Queen accepted them too.

Then the cheering crowd walked to our side to be with the Queen who was about to leave. We left the crowd and returned home calmly. During the whole day, reminders from Teacher made me deeply comprehend that each Dafa practitioner is like a particle in the entire Fa-rectification. Our Teacher has arranged every detail of the entire Fa-rectification, and we as Dafa particles can fulfill our roles only if we have pure righteous thoughts.
