Belgium: Practitioners Celebrate World Falun Dafa Day in the European Political Capital

(Clearwisdom.net, May 19, 2005) On the afternoon of Saturday May 14, Falun Gong practitioners from Belgium, Switzerland, and Holland held an activity at La Monnaie Square in the center of Brussels, the capital city of Belgium and political capital of Europe, to celebrate the 6th World Falun Dafa Day and the 13th anniversary of the introduction of Falun Dafa to the public. They also wished happy birthday to Falun Gong founder Master Li Hongzhi.

World Dafa Day Celebration at LA MONNAIE Square

Practitioners' hearts were full of joy while celebrating this wonderful day and helping more people learn the truth about Falun Gong. It was forecast to rain that day, but it didn't.

Posters, banners and leaflets in Chinese, English, French and Dutch were prepared to hand out to the public. Practitioners also handed out "Falun Dafa is Good" balloons to the children. As soon as the Falun Gong exercise music started, lots of people gathered around, asked for leaflets and watched the exercise demonstrations. A few practitioners answered questions from the public. Besides local residents, there were also people of all races from other countries. People were interested to know where they could buy Falun Gong books and the location of the nearest exercise practice site.

A waist-drum group organized by local practitioners made their first public appearance and the drummers were very popular. For example, a lady asked to be pictured with the troupe.

For some new practitioners, this was the first time they had taken part in this kind of activity and they worked hard to make the activity a success.
