"From the Mouths of Babes" - Stories of Young Children in Germany
1.áIn Heidelberg's community of Dafa practitioners, there is a two-year
old German disciple who follows his parents and sisters to a local tourist
attraction known as Castle Park on Sundays. While the adults practice the
exercises and distribute materials to Chinese tourists, he will be at the side
playing. Out of the blue one day while his parents were clarifying the truth to
some Chinese tourists, he ran up to them, shouting loudly in Mandarin,
"Falun Dafa is good. Buddha-light illuminates everywhere." The Chinese
tourists were startled to hear the toddler, a German, speaking Mandarin to say
Dafa is good. They found it very interesting and the formerly tense atmosphere
all of a sudden eased. The practitioners were not sure when and where he had
learned the Chinese words.
2. Once on a train I met a one-year-old German baby who was still too young
to talk. The baby's name was the same as a young disciple's. Probably due to the
bumpiness of the train ride, he seemed a bit frustrated. I was reading Zhuan
Falun. I held the book in front of his eyes and used my finger to point at
the words for him to read. He immediately stopped fidgeting and concentrated his
attention on the book. Then he stared at my mouth intensely. I flipped to the
page of the Falun to show him. He laughed and wanted to use his small hand to
touch the Falun's picture. I flipped to the picture of Master's portrait. He
laughed even more heartily as if it was not only he himself, but his entire soul
laughing. I asked him in German if he knew the person in the portrait. Even
though he cannot yet talk, he confidently nodded his head.
