Russia: Practitioners Introduce Falun Dafa in Downtown Izmailova (Photos)
By Russian practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) On the 21st of August, Russian practitioners once
again held a successful activity in crowded downtown Izmailova to let people
know about Falun Dafa and the persecution. The activity showed the goodness of
Dafa as well as the actual methods of persecution that practitioners are
subjected to in China. Approximately ten thousand people passed our exhibition
over several hours and several thousand people accepted our materials and showed
concern. The scene was peaceful and the people were shocked by the torture
exhibition.
The activity was mainly divided into two parts. One part was
about Falun Dafa spreading widely in the world, the introduction of
the universal characteristics of Truthfulness, Compassion,
Forbearance, and the performance of the exercises. The practitioners
validated Dafa's grand power to change the spirit as well as
strengthen the body through their own cultivation experiences. Dafa
practitioners' characteristic of compassion and decency attracted
people's attention. A Turkish gentleman who was visiting Russia
joined the practitioners, holding banners reading "Falun Dafa
is good" and "Stop spreading lies" separately for
several hours in the heat of the sun with two other Falun Gong
practitioners. Another part of the activity reflected the severe persecution
which Falun Gong has suffered in China. Aiming at the Chinese people
attending the big public market, practitioners showed a series of
films including one about the Tiananmen self-immolation, another
exploring the reason for Falun Dafa being brutally persecuted in
China and the cruel torture, etc. Many people stayed and watched
carefully. Russian natives, who outnumbered the Chinese people,
listened to the explanation of the persecution and tragedy happening
in China. A 'live' torture exhibition was the focus in this activity.
Almost every person who passed by was shocked and stopped to look.
When they realised that these were several methods of torture among
a hundred which are still being used in China, they felt very
indignant and said that they would like to support Falun Gong. One
Chinese person joined the protest and lifted up a banner against the
persecution. When his friend passed and asked him why stood with the
Falun Gong group, he answered loudly, "You see 1027 people have
been persecuted to death. Can I still keep silent? I want to
protest!" In saying so, he lifted up the slogan in his hand
higher. Russian practitioners have become aware of the urgency and
importance of their mission. They are putting more effort into their
actions to save sentient beings, who are lost in a maze and deceived
by lies. Source: http://clearharmony.net/articles/200408/21658.html
