A Good Method for Clarifying the Truth: Wearing Clothes Printed with Dafa-related Content at Scenic Spots Outside of China
By a North America Dafa practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) During this summer tourism season, some Dafa
practitioners may go sightseeing with their families. At many famous scenic
spots, there are many visitors from China. So when we wear clothes printed with
Dafa-related contents, a hat with "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" written on
it, or wear "Falun Dafa" pins, it's a way of clarifying the truth and a way of
saving precious Chinese people. Two years ago, when I visited Disney Gardens together with my kids and
family, I wore a yellow T-shirt printed with the words,
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and "Falun Dafa Is Good" in both English and
Chinese. It attracted the attention of Chinese visitors. While at the entrance,
I heard comments from behind me: "There are Falun Gong practitioners over
here?!" "Are they Chinese or foreign!" "So nobody prohibits them?" "It reads,
Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance!" etc. During the tour, I met more Chinese
people. Some of them smiled, some showed confusion, some appeared to be
thinking. When I was waiting in line, a middle-aged man turned to face me just
to read the words on my shirt. But when I wanted to give him some Dafa
materials, he left in hesitation while his group members were not far away. Two
young Chinese ladies passed me at a fast pace, but they shouted in surprise: "Falun
Dafa!" When we were dining outdoors, a Chinese man watched us at one side
quietly, and brought his food to eat near us. Even when the day's tour came to
an end, we still met many Chinese people. I was surprised that at this children's park, there were so many Chinese
visitors. I was also ashamed that many times, I did not have the courage to
clarify the truth of Dafa to them face to face. My husband said, "You have shown
them Dafa contents, that's already something." I do know that some
practitioners' clothes are printed with words like: "Stop persecuting Falun
Gong," "Release detained Falun Gong practitioners," etc. But many of them just
wear these clothes when there are group activities. If we wear clothes with Dafa--related
contents when we go shopping in Chinatown or markets, when we go to Chinese
parties, when we send our kids to Chinese schools, or anywhere else, Chinese
people could know that Falun Gong practitioners are ordinary people all around
them. This simple thing is a good method of truth clarification. Though the
media is so advanced in the western world, there are still many Chinese who do
not know much about Falun Gong. Many of them simply do not know that there are
Falun Gong practitioners around them and that there are local practice sites. Yes, I do suggest that we wear clothes or show other materials with Dafa-related
contents in order to let Chinese people see that there is equality of human
rights and freedom of belief overseas. Let them see the healthy and energetic
looks of practitioners. Let them see the happy families of practitioners, and
the popularity of Dafa outside China, as well as expose the lies of Jiang's
regime. Let them see the failure of the persecution in China, and of course, let
people with predestined relationships attain Dafa. This article is written for overseas Falun Gong practitioners. Please point
out any mistakes or inappropriateness. Thanks!
