UK: Falun Gong Practitioners Join a Health Fair in Wales
(Clearwsidom.net) On February 1, 2004, UK Falun Gong practitioners were
invited to attend a Health Fair in Port Talbot, South Wales. During the fair,
the Falun Dafa stand and exercise demonstration received an enthusiastic
response. Practitioners also used this opportunity to clarify the truth to
everyone at this fair and expose the persecution happening in China. The entire
activity went very well. The Health Fair was set up in an attractive manner. Practitioners hung a Dafa
banner on a stand, displayed poster boards to let people know more about Falun
Gong and the persecution, and also used a computer monitor to play a recording
of the five sets of execises. A lot of people wanted to know about Falun Gong
and took the leaflets. One gentleman stopped and watched the Video-CD on the
computer until it finished and waited as if he did not want to leave. Another
lady wanted to learn the exercises immediately after she read the brief
introduction to Falun Gong. She also said she will attend the free exercise
class in Swansea. Although the activity was mainly for health-based information, practitioners
still used this opportunity to hand out a lot of truth clarification materials.
People were shocked when they heard the truth of the persecution. They could not
understand why this brutal suppression of human rights has lasted for four and
half years. They all volunteered to sign a petition to show their support. Practitioners were invited by the event's sponsor to demonstrate the
exercises on a stage. The beautiful and peaceful movements of Falun Dafa
attracted the whole audience. After this demonstration, a lot of people came to
our stand to ask for leaflets and find out more. Some of them started to learn
the exercises immediately. With the practitioners' help, they grasped the
essentials and some could even do the double lotus position [A sitting
meditation position with both legs folded on top of one another]. This activity lasted until the evening and was a complete success.
Practitioners felt really happy for those people who heard the truth about Dafa.
In the meantime, they also felt that the opportunity to let people know the
facts is rare and valuable. As practitioners, we should seize each opportunity
and do it well.
