Germany: Introducing Falun Gong and Exposing the Persecution in Donauschingen
By a German practitioner (Clearwisdom.net) Every tourist who visits the city of
Donauschingen in the scenic Black Forest area usually participates in the music
festival, goes on a tour to the source of the Danube, goes to the museum see the
art objects collected by the Marquis, or attends the international horse races.
As in recent years, the horse race was again held in Donauschingen. At the same
time, Falun Gong practitioners from as far away as Brussels and Geneva gathered
in downtown Hanselbrunnen to introduce Falun Gong and explain China's ongoing
persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. This was the first time that such
activities were held in this area. We found almost all of the people here had
never heard of Falun Gong. The passersby were all sympathetic about the
suffering of practitioners in China. Because the number of practitioners who participated in the
activity was more than expected, a group of them went directly to the race
course in the afternoon. The practitioners received unusual assistance when they
were searching for parking spaces. The gatekeeper of the parking lot read our
newspaper very carefully. Later on, his superior was also attracted by the
contents of the newspaper. While two practitioners demonstrated Falun Gong
exercises in the square, two other practitioners provided explanations to the
passersby who stopped to listen. They told the racegoers that the exercises are
banned in China, and practitioners are sent to labor camps, brain-washed, or may
even be subjected to torture. A lot of passersby watched the practitioners with
a smile at first. After they listened to the explanations, they were shocked by
the persecution that the Jiang group inflicts on Falun Gong practitioners. A man
who was very reluctant to believe the facts initially took a lot of materials
with him when he was about to leave. He said he would pass all the information
to his friends at the Lions Club. In addition, he would contact a director of a
large German enterprise, who is in charge of the Chinese Division. He wants to
let her know that the products her company buys from China are made in labor
camps. As a Catholic, he thinks the Buddha Fa is undoubtedly one of the most
peaceful cultivation ways in the world. |
