By Finnish practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) We are a group of eight Finnish
practitioners who came to London on January 13th to take part in various
activities during the 2005 European Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference.
Below are some stories of our experiences during this weekend. Introducing Falun Dafa in Chinatown Four of us participated in the waist drum practice on January
14th ready for the parade the next day. Some reporters came to interview us
during the practice. They took a lot of notes and some pictures of us for about
an hour and a half. At the end of the large-scale parade through central London on January 15th,
we sincerely gave our thanks to the policemen who directed the traffic. They
said that they should be thanking us! In the afternoon of January 15th a western man came to ask for Video-CDs in
Chinese about Falun Gong and the persecution while we were standing in the
"the Great Wall of Courage". He said he had two Chinese friends, who
did not know the truth about Falun Gong. The western man said he will send the
VCDs to his Chinese friends. We thanked him. A Chinese lady wanted to talk with
us after she received the truth-clarifying materials. She said that she does not
speak Mandarin but she could understand some Cantonese. It happened that a
practitioner nearby could speak Cantonese and they talked for quite some time. A number of people watched us practice the exercises and came to ask about
their local Falun Gong exercise sites where they can learn the exercises for
free. On January 17th, we went to Chinatown to demonstrate the exercises and hand
out leaflets. There were a number of Chinese passers-by that day. We smiled,
said hello to them and handed them leaflets. Some stopped to find out more so we
talked to them about the fake self-immolation on Tiananmen Square, which was set
up by the Chinese Government, and the lawsuits against Jiang and his cohorts in
countries all over the world charging them with genocide and crimes against
humanity. We also told them about the brave practitioners in China who risk
their lives to tell people the truth about Falun Gong, and we also talked to
them about the tremendous changes that practicing Falun Gong has brought to our
own health and to society. We spoke from our hearts and they nodded their heads
again and again. We told them finally that we believe the time is near when
people all over the world will hear about and understand the persecution. We
told them we hope that they would tell their friends and families in China the
truth. We always heard the same answer: "Yes, we will."
