Italy: Falun Gong Is Popular In Genova By a Practitioner in Italy
(Clearwisdom.net) On January 26, Italian Falun Gong practitioners were
invited to tell people about Falun Dafa and teach them the exercises in the
building of the administrative division of Genova in northern Italy. The
organizer of the activity had contacted Falun Gong practitioners during an
activity held in Turin recently. There were 300 people learning the practice
together at that time in Turin. The TV stations in Italy also reported on that
event. The organizer of the Genova activity felt very good after learning the
exercises in Turin, so she wanted to hold this activity for Falun Gong
practitioners in Genova.
It took practitioners three hours to drive to the venue where
the exercise teaching was to take place. Before the activity started,
practitioners posted the introduction to Falun Gong and the pictures of Falun
Gong practitioners being persecuted in China. The earliest arrivals watched the
pictures carefully and listened to the music of Pudu and Jishi.
Some other people, sitting on cushions, were watching the practitioners
demonstrating the five sets of exercises while this beautiful music played in
the background.
At the beginning of the activity, there were already more
than 40 people. Some even came from other cities. People kept coming after the
activity started. The lady who organized the activity briefly introduced Falun
Gong. She particularly emphasized the strong flow of energy she had experienced
while practicing Falun Gong. She also mentioned what the brutal persecution by
the Jiang regime in China had done to Falun Gong practitioners. Afterwards,
practitioners taught the exercises to the audience. They practiced them
repeatedly to the music. When finishing one set, many people would say, "I felt
hot." Almost everyone felt the flow of energy and the great effect of Falun
Gong. From their personal experiences, many people were soon aware that their
health could benefit greatly from this practice.
Afterwards, practitioners explained the Jiang regime's
persecution of Falun Gong in China in detail. These Italians, who had just
experienced the first time for themselves the goodness of Falun Gong, could not
understand the persecution at all. How could such a peaceful practice, based on
"Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance" be so cruelly persecuted? Practitioners
told them that China was an autocratic country under the control of a tyrant.
The large number of Falun Gong practitioners aroused the jealousy of only one
person, Jiang Zemin, and also resulted in his irrational brutality towards Falun
Gong. However, Falun Gong is not interested in politics and does not oppose the
government. Falun Gong practitioners are opposed to persecution and murder.
Because the media in Italy always reported the human rights problems in China in
greater detail, most of these Italians knew what Jiang and his autocratic
government were capable of. Therefore, they were in total agreement with the
practitioner's point of view. They even verified the practitioner's words with
the facts they already knew about the violation of human rights in China.
The activity lasted four hours, but the Italians were not
fully satisfied. Some asked when we would practice the exercises again. Some
suggested that the organizer hold a weekly exercise practice. Many people
obtained Dafa books and Exercise Instruction Videos.
A health teacher said, "This practice is very suitable to be
publicized among students. We should teach the practice to the teachers of
physical education. Thus, they can teach it to their students."
As Dafa is persecuted in China, it is cherished by more and
more people in other regions outside of China, because it is a supernormal
practice based on righteous principles. It leads more and more people to walk
the path of cultivation practice. More and more people recognize the nature of
the evil persecution and stand against the evildoers. When people come to oppose
the persecution, the evil will have nowhere to hide, and will be unable to
continue.
Lastly, I will cite Master Li's poem to encourage every
fellow practitioner:
Dafa is Good
Falun Dafa is good
Falun Dafa is good
