UK: Spreading Falun Dafa in the Capital of Wales (Photos)
By a practitioner in the UK
At the end of December 2002, Falun Dafa practitioners held an activity to
raise awareness of Falun Gong in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. This was a sunny
day, which was the perfect weather for telling people about Falun Dafa. As they
were in an open area, practitioners began by setting up display boards and
posters that attracted the attention of people who went shopping that day. The
posters told how Dafa is practiced in over 50 countries around the world and has
been praised by countless governments. The posters also told about the brutal
and vicious persecution in China under the command of Chinese dictator Jiang
Zemin. Hundreds of thousands of innocent practitioners have been, tortured and
beaten and hundreds have been murdered. After the site was set up, practitioners
demonstrated the exercises together and passersby stopped to watch. Many people
asked where they could learn the exercises.
A lot of passersby spent a long time reading the display boards and expressed
their dismay and shock after learning of the Jiang regime's persecution of
people who merely want to practice meditation exercises and be good people.
After they spoke with practitioners, they were eager to sign the petition
calling for an end to the persecution.
One practitioner continued to demonstrate the exercises near the busy street.
The slow, graceful exercise movements and the beautiful Dafa music attracted the
attention of many passersby. The rest of the practitioners took the opportunity
to distribute flyers, talk to people and collect petition signatures.
Practitioners found that western people accepted the leaflets with pleasure
while many Chinese people showed reluctance or embarrassment and sometimes
refused to accept them. Despite this, there were still a few Chinese students
studying abroad who stopped to read the display boards. When practitioners
approached them, they said that they were surprised to learn that Falun Dafa is
popular outside of China and they took the leaflets home to read.
The activity was held in the square next to
St. John's Church People expressed surprise and dismay when
they learned about the Jiang regime's persecution
Many people were attracted by the graceful
exercise movements Many people wanted to learn more about Dafa
