Falun Gong at Vancouver Health Expo (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) The Fourteenth Vancouver Health Expo was held in the
Exhibit Hall of the Canadian Hotel on October 16 and 17, 2004. Falun Gong
practitioners brought the good news of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" to
people looking for good health.
Introduction of Falun Gong at the Falun Gong booth Exercise demonstration
Falun Gong practitioners in Vancouver have been invited to every Health Expo
since 1998. As in the past, their booth provided information on the practice and
gave demonstrations of the Falun Gong exercises. One practitioner had made
copies of a recent health survey. An American practitioner narrated the exercise
demonstration.
Visitors Show Great Enthusiasm and Learn Falun Gong "on the Spot"
During the two-day expo, people continued to come to the booth to ask where
they could learn the exercises. The practitioners demonstrated the exercises
four times a day to great interest from the audience. Some people stayed to
watch the next demo, while others wanted to learn the exercises right away. The
most frequently asked question was, "Why did the Chinese government (Jiang's
regime) suppress such a great exercise?" Falun Gong practitioners gave them
truth-clarification CD's and told them about the persecution of Falun Gong.
"I Can Feel Your Energy Field"
A man who worked at the next booth quietly watched the Falun Gong
practitioners for two days. He came over before the end of the expo and said, "I
am from the Philippines. I have practiced Qigong before. I could feel your
energy field, especially when you did the exercises in a group. The energy was
really strong. Could you please give me a flyer? I will study it carefully."
Tell Them the True Story of Falun Gong
On the second day of the expo, two women, who looked as if they could be
students just arrived from China, passed the Falun Gong booth. One of them
looked shocked when she saw the words "Falun Gong." A practitioner went over and
kindly told them, "Falun Gong is freely practiced in more than sixty countries
in the world. China is the only country which doesn't allow its people to
practice Falun Gong. It is completely legal here. Please take a good look at
this brochure. It tells the true story of Falun Gong. The 'self-immolation on
Tiananmen Square' is a plot of Jiang's regime." He went on to tell them how
Jiang's regime had fabricated lies to frame Falun Gong and that he hoped they
would learn the true story. The two women nodded their heads and left with
truth-clarification materials. |
