Norway: Falun Gong at a Health Fair in the City of Tonsberg By a Norwegian practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners were invited to take part
in a recent health fair in Tonsberg, a small city about 100 km south of Oslo.
Tonsberg is famous for being an "alternative city," where many people
are interested in various forms of alternative health exercises and meditation. Practitioners agreed with the health fair manager who said that it would be
nice for them to have a stand near the entrance, as Falun Gong would create a
good atmosphere in the exhibition hall. Because Falun Gong is non-commercial and
is always taught for free, the manager was very supportive and gave
practitioners very favorable conditions at the exhibition. Our stand at the entrance was very successful. The first thing that most
people saw when they came into the exhibition hall was the Falun Dafa exercise
video with Master Li Hongzhi teaching the exercises, which was being shown
continuously. People also immediately saw the practitioners' exercise
demonstration. This made them feel relaxed and at ease, and they were glad to
receive information about Falun Gong. Most people took our flyers, and many
asked questions. We told them more about Falun Dafa and also about the inhuman
and evil persecution against Falun Gong in China and abroad. The Norwegian Church also had a stand at the exhibition. A priest from this
stand chatted a little with us and wanted to know more about Falun Gong. He was
very happy when he learned about the principles of Falun Gong: Truthfulness --
Compassion -- Forbearance. He also commented on our contributing to the good
atmosphere in the hall. People appreciated that we were spreading the practice for free and would not
accept payment or donations. Many people wanted to learn more about Falun Gong,
and put their name on a list for free Falun Gong classes. Article from: http://clearharmony.net/articles/200304/11779.html Posting date: 4/20/2003 |
