Spain: Practitioners Study the Principles of Falun Dafa and Expose the Persecution Together (Photos)
By a Spanish practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) From August 13 to August 16, Falun Gong
practitioners from various places in Spain gathered in Barcelona to hold four
days of activities including group study of Falun Gong's principles, sharing and
exchange of understandings, and exposing the persecution. On August 13, practitioners came to Barcelona one after another. Ignoring
their fatigue due to long-distance travel, some practitioners went directly to
the activity site after getting off the plane. Some coming from Madrid and
Malaga drove directly without a break to the famous La Rambla in Barcelona.
After an over seven-hour drive, they joined fellow practitioners in holding an
anti-persecution photo exhibition and signature collection activity in the
afternoon. In La Rambla, crowds of people gathered. Stopping in front of the photos of
the persecution, the passers-by were shocked. They could not believe what they
saw, and some had tears in their faces. People could not believe that such
bloody, cruel genocide is happening in China. People could not even imagine
how a government could be so cruel to its people. People gave their support by
signing their names to end this persecution as soon as possible. They gathered
in front of the signature-collection desk and signed their names without
hesitation. In front of the long signature collection table were lines of people
awaiting to sign their names. People are eager to understand the truth and
hope to end the persecution together. Seeing the touching scene, practitioner
cannot help but think - the stronger the power of justice, the harder it will
be for the evil persecution to be sustained. During the activity, a member of the "Free Tibet" organisation
signed his name and told our fellow practitioners, "Do you know that we
just submitted a file to the Spanish National Hall of Justice to sue Jiang
Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party for genocide and cruel torture they
committed against the people of Tibet? In China, where people are ruled singly
by the Chinese Communist Party, people have no human rights or freedom,
whether it's people in Tibet, the Buddhists, those with a belief in Taoism or
in Christianity, or Falun Gong practitioners. Anyone who has a different point
of view from the Chinese Communist Party is persecuted." "I believe
that the day for them to step down (the Communist Party) is soon to come. What
they have committed will eventually be made public. In the near future, those
guilty people will be brought to trial by the whole world." When signing her name, a lady from Eastern Europe said to a practitioner,
"I know the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party very well. Its
nature is bloody and cruel. I am not surprised to see the crimes it has
committed in China. Only by quitting the Chinese Communist Party can people
truly live a good life. It is something I've experienced personally." In
the end, she wished the practitioners good luck. A tourist from Germany said,
"I had already signed my name for Falun Gong in Germany. However, I'd
like to sign again with the hope of helping to end this unjust persecution as
soon as possible." On August 15th, some Spanish Falun Gong practitioners went to the Chinese
Consulate in Barcelona to peacefully protest against the Chinese Communist
Party's six-year persecution of Falun Gong. Over here, practitioners in
Barcelona have persisted in telling those coming to the Chinese Consulate
about Falun Gong being persecuted in China. Through their continuous efforts
over the past two years, the attitude of the Chinese people toward Falun Gong
has changed dramatically. In contrast to the very beginning when people were
not willing to or didn't dare to take leaflets, or when some even shouted at
us loudly, a great number of people nowadays voluntarily ask for fliers and
express their thanks to practitioners. Though the western Falun Gong practitioners present do not speak Chinese,
the letters they printed to encourage people to be good, taped messages they
broadcast in Chinese, and their persevering belief and pure hearts deeply
touched the Chinese people. The evil lies told by the Chinese Communist Party
are no longer effective. Instead, they are coming to a good understanding of
Falun Gong and gaining respect for Falun Gong practitioners. At the same time, practitioners also hope that those working in the Chinese
Consulate understand the truth, give up the evil, and do not continue to be
pawns for the Chinese Communist Party to persecute good people anymore. In front of the Chinese Consulate, a couple was hurrying on their way to
attend a friend's party with their two children. They saw Falun Gong
practitioners peacefully presenting a petition when passing through the
Chinese Consulate. They carefully looked at photos exposing the Chinese
Communist Party's cruel persecution against its own citizens. They were
extremely shocked. After stopping to further ask Falun Gong practitioners
about more facts, one of them said to the practitioners, "Thanks for
helping us understand so much that we have never heard before. I used to think
differently. Today is a major turning point in my life because I know about
truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance." During the four-day activity, the practitioners studied Zhuan Falun,
the main text of Falun Dafa, together. They shared their experiences and where
they fell short in the process of validating the Fa, so as to do better in
future cultivation. Practitioners also discussed the "Nine Commentaries
on the Communist Party". Practitioners believed that the "Nine
Commentaries" is exposing the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP). In particular, it can help Mainland Chinese people who have been deeply
poisoned and brainwashed by CCP's deceit to clearly see through the CCP's
nature, so as to break away from it. The "Nine Commentaries" will
also help people to comprehensively learn about the facts of the persecution
that Falun Gong practitioners have encountered in China. Practitioners also exchanged opinions and experiences and identified
individual shortcomings so as to do better in their future activities. The
four-day activity concluded successfully. Source: http://clearharmony.net/articles/200509/28613.html
