Practitioners Introduce Falun Dafa to an Enthusiastic Audience at a Psychic Fair (Photos)

In a small southern city in America, two Falun Gong practitioners introduced the practice at a local psychic fair. One practitioner is an American of Italian and Polish descent and the other is from Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. To a small audience, the American practitioner talked about the background of cultivation practice in Chinese history, the rise of qigong and Falun Gong, the difference between qigong and physical exercises and the importance of the cultivation principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." He then introduced the practitioner from China, who is a researcher at a local university.

This practitioner informed the audience of his precarious state of health prior to learning Falun Gong. He had to take medicine nearly every day, but fortunately, his doctors recommended that he learn Falun Gong. He did, and began to practice with a large group at Chengdu University. His health problems vanished and he studied the book, Zhuan Falun, by Mr. Li, Hongzhi, as well as cultivated according to the teachings of Falun Dafa. The audience was impressed with this heartfelt testimony. He then told them about how such a good practice began to be persecuted due to Jiang Zemin's jealousy of its nationwide popularity.  The audience was shocked to learn of the torture and brainwashing to which so many practitioners have been subjected, and that to date, almost a thousand practitioners are verified to have died in police custody. Some of those who were persecuted are this practitioner's personal friends.

All of these events were related to the audience in a calm, even and compassionate tone of voice, which had a great effect, moving their hearts and appealing to their sense of justice. While not emphasizing his own personal situation, this practitioner was able to bring the unjust persecution of Falun Gong to his audience personally and directly, as someone who had lived it. He ended with an account of his journey to the USA and subsequent asylum. Spontaneously, the audience applauded vigorously and smiled favorably at the courage and determination of this Chinese Falun Gong practitioner, whom they were proud to have met and have as a member of the local community. After the presentation, everyone stayed and enthusiastically learned some of the Falun Gong exercises.
