Falun Dafa at the University of Sydney's Multicultural Day (Photos) By a practitioner in Sydney
(Clearwisdom.net) On October 6, 2004, the Sydney University Falun Dafa
Club was invited to take part in the University's Multicultural Day.
Practitioners performed a demonstration of the Falun Dafa exercises and shared
the story of Falun Dafa with the students. An eye-catching yellow banner with the Chinese words, "Falun Dafa is
Good" attracted students to the food tables, where materials about Falun
Dafa and its being persecuted in China were on display. While some practitioners
catered food, such as Chinese dumplings and delicious egg-tarts, others handed
out fliers to students. As students lined up to get food, each was offered a flier to read and told
kindly, "Falun Dafa is an ancient meditation practice and it is being
persecuted in China right now." Some students expressed their interest to
learn the exercises while others expressed their sympathy toward the
practitioners being persecuted. Two Chinese girls who approached the table saw the bright banner. They read,
"Falun Dafa hao" ("Falun Dafa is Good") out loud and smiled
nervously. They happily accepted booklets explaining the facts about Falun Dafa
and the persecution. A freelance news reporter from Poland also approached the practitioners.
After listening to the practitioners describe the true story of Falun Dafa, she
said, "This is amazing, I must find out more about it!" Three Chinese Dafa practitioners later performed a demonstration of the five
sets of exercises while a Westerner explained the principles of Falun Gong. As
the music and Teacher Li Hongzhi's instructions began, the whole area was filled
with serenity. The event was a success, and a good opportunity for Sydney University
students to learn the truth about Falun Dafa. Posting date: 10/13/2004 |
