Finland: Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance International Art Exhibition Held in Helsinki (Photos) By a Finnish practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) From August 1st to the 10th, 2006, the fourth
Truthfulness- Compassion-Forbearance International Art Exhibition in Finland was
held in the Kannelmki Library in Helsinki. Falun Gong practitioners told the staff in the library about Falun Gong's
spreading widely in over eighty countries in the world, receiving hundreds of
proclamations and the inhumane methods used by the Chinese Communist Party to
persecute Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland China since July 20, 1999. Some
of the artists themselves have been illegally detained and persecuted in
Mainland China. Soon after the exhibition was set up, the library staff became the first
visitors and afterwards they complimented us on the paintings. On the table practitioners laid out information about the practice in many
different languages, a guestbook, petitions to oppose the persecution and
self-made paper lotus flowers. As a visitor came through the door, a practitioner would give him a delicate
paper lotus flower in welcome and tell the story depicted in the nearest
painting, "Daddy Come Home": The little girl in the painting is named
Fadu. When Fadu was eight months old, her father Chen Chengyong was beaten to
death in China by the CCP just for speaking out for justice for Falun Gong. Ever
since, Fadu has travelled over thirty countries all over the world with her
mother to tell people the facts and call on everyone to stop the CCP's
persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. They came to Finland three times to
call for people to end the suppression together. After listening, a lady was puzzled and asked, "Why is Falun Gong
persecuted in China?" The practitioner took a copy of the Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party off the table and told her that these
articles exposed the CCP's evil nature and its hatred and jealousy towards
Truthfulness-Compassion--Tolerance. The lady asked, "What can I do to help
you?" The practitioner replied, "Find out more about the persecution
of Falun Gong and the evil nature of the CCP, and tell the Finnish government,
media and those around you about it." Mother and son sign the petition to support Falun Gong Many parents took their children along to see the exhibition, and the parents
often read out the captions for their children and answered their questions. In
the end they would take their children to sign the petition together to support
Falun Gong. Lots of little girls showed an interest in the beautiful lotus flowers. As
soon as they were given one, they went back to find their friends to get more. A
few girls even learned how to make the flowers from the practitioners and said
that they would later make a whole basket of flowers for the practitioners. Source: http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200608/34880.html
