(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Igor, and I am a Falun Gong practitioner from Kramatorsk in Ukraine. I have realized more and more that we should help people know the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution that is happening in China. Therefore, in addition to joining all the group activities, I try to spend my spare time clarifying the truth to my friends and family almost every day, and I also handmade some mini displays myself, handed out leaflets and gathered signatures after work.

Passersby sign to end the persecution of Falun Gong

Most of the passersby look at the displays, and some of them stop and start to talk about the problems in our country. I tell them that condemning the persecution in China is directly related to improving the moral standards and human rights in our country. Many people agreed, and signed their names to protest the persecution by the CCP.

Once, I went to do truth clarification on the street as usual. After I just arrived, a young man asked me, "Where can I sign?" At that moment, I felt Master was somewhere around to help and support me. Although many people had walked by, this was an important thing to do. I realized the atmosphere was very righteous, and that more and more people would become clear about the situation and want to know the truth.

However, I still saw a lot of people walk by without learning the truth. I used to have regrets about this, but at the same time I realized that I needed to improve myself, that my thoughts for saving sentient beings should be purer, and I needed to keep trying. Afterwards, I found that when some people walked by the first time, they seemed not to have seen anything, but the second time they would come closer to the displays and look, listen to me clarify the truth, and sign the petition. There was one lady who passed by me the first time, but came back and talked with me until she understood the truth. In the end, she signed her name.

I remember that once there were four young lads with beers in their hands. They crossed road and very aggressively asked me, "What are you doing here?" I told them the facts in a very calm tone, and they started making jokes, saying, "We'll sign it if you give us some money, and we can also sign for other people, too." I told them, "We are cultivating Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. We think of others at all times, and we are gathering signatures not just to support Falun Gong; it also shows people's conscience and compassion, and it's a righteous act." They seemed to understand, and they respectfully signed the sheet one by one.

There was an older gentleman, who sat next to me and helped me greet others after he signed his own name. There are many such moving stories. I think I still haven't done enough and I will keep doing it.
