Russia: Promoting the Fa in the State of Ryazan

By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Russia

(Clearwisdom.net) The State of Ryazan is located in the center of the Russian plain. The climate is moderate. It has an area of 39,600 km and a population of 1,346,000. It belongs to the Central region of the Russian Federation. Industry and animal husbandry coexist in Ryazan's way of life. Its administrative center is Ryazan Oblast, 200km south of Moscow. There are over ten new Falun Gong practitioners in a small town in Ryazan called Korablino. They really like veteran practitioners from Moscow to come there to share their experiences.

On April 29, 2006, a Saturday morning, seven practitioners from Moscow took a train from Moscow to Ryazan. Over three hours later they arrived at Ryazan Oblast and then took another two-hour train to reach Korablino. The train was so crowded that it was hard to move around or to go to the restroom. Sometimes it was hard to find a seat, but practitioners still offered their seats to the elderly. Two practitioners shared one seat, and another stood the whole trip. They did not forget to use this opportunity to promote Dafa to other passengers.

Practitioners brought Dafa books in Russian, exercise CDs, tapes, newspapers, flyers, copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party , truth clarification CDs, NTDTV Chinese New Year Gala DVDs, and badges with the words "Falun Dafa is Good." Practitioners carried these heavy materials in their backpacks or luggage.

Korablino has about 20,000 residents. They are sincere and nice people. The practitioners in Korablino are sincere, honest, and pure. They have a good predestinated relationship with Dafa. These practitioners just learned Falun Dafa a few months ago. They were very happy to see veteran practitioners. They were also happy to learn Master's words from veteran practitioners and to receive Dafa books.

The local practitioners welcomed the practitioners from Moscow with a tea party. The practitioners from Moscow gave the local practitioners Dafa materials and shared their cultivation experiences. They also introduced how to study the ""Fa, how do the exercises, and how to send forth righteous thoughts. They explained Falun Gong's development and why Falun Gong is persecuted by the CCP. They also told about the labor camps and illegal organ harvesting from living Falun gong practitioners. As a Fa-rectification disciple, practitioners need to do well the three things. When they learned that some new practitioners had practiced other qigong methods before, they pointed out the importance of "no second way." Some female practitioners were also taught how to fold paper lotus flowers.

They exercised together at an empty space along the street. Twenty practitioners formed a big circle and did exercises one to exercise four. In the beginning, new practitioners worried about the cold weather and they wore coats and hats. But the sunshine was warm, and the energy field was very strong. New practitioners took off their coats and hats. It was the first public Dafa exercise in this town. They also handed out newspapers and flyers to people passing by. At 7:00 o'clock in the evening they sent forth righteous thoughts together for 15 minutes.

It was too late to catch a train. Some stayed overnight to catch the next day's train, and some took an overnight taxi to return to Moscow for work the next day. On the way back, they were singing happily.

Most of the visiting practitioners had never been to Ryazan before. A teacher, s college student, an engineer, a translator, a salesman, and a housewife, they came from Russia, France, Korea, China, and Tatarstan.

The whole trip lasted close to 20 hours, but the practitioners were not tired. They were not afraid of tiredness to promote the Fa. If needed, they would go to another place to promote the Fa.
