Thailand: Introducing Falun Dafa on PuJi Island (Photos)
By a practitioner in Thailand
(Clearwisdom.net) From September 26 to October 1, 2007, a number of Falun
Dafa practitioners from Thailand went to the famous tourist site on PuJi Island
to introduce Falun Dafa. They wore T-shirts with the words "Falun Dafa Is
Good," carried display boards on their backs, and held pamphlets in their
hands. As they walked to the tourist site, they handed the pamphlets to people.
They pasted stickers with the words "Falun Dafa Is Good," and
"The Worlds Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" on the glass
doors of many stores, and offered beautifully made paper lotus flowers to the
store owners. People learned to practice Falun Gong Practitioners clarified the facts about Falun Dafa to tourists
passing by Practitioners clarified the facts On the morning of September 27, practitioners went to PuJi Park. They set up
their display boards, placed materials on the ground, and then hung banners
reading "Humanity Needs 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance'" and
"Learn Falun Dafa Exercises Free of Charge." When they began to
practice the exercises, many passersby came over to find out what they were
doing. Most of them had not heard about Falun Dafa before. When they saw
evidence of the brutal persecution of practitioners by the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) on the display boards, they stopped to ask why this was going on.
Practitioners answered their questions and told them that the CCP is evil. Many people came to learn how to practice the exercises. One man came two
days in a row. When learning to do the fifth exercise, he said, "This
practice is really miraculous. I can enter into a state of deep tranquility
immediately." Even though his movements were not precise, he had
experienced the mighty power of Falun Dafa. A woman who was walking her child
home from school saw practitioners in the park and learned to practice on the
spot. After practicing, she insisted on driving practitioners back to their
hotel because she was so grateful. She also bought a copy of Zhuan
Falun in the Thai language. She held the book with both hands and said
emotionally, "I've obtained a precious gift." Practitioners went to shopping centers and shops to give owners materials and
paper lotus flowers. People held the lotuses with both hands and made the Heshi
gesture (conjoining the hands in front of the chest) to practitioners. Some
people immediately hung the lotuses in a high position, and others placed them
in a clean plastic bag to take them home. At coffee shops, owners played the
music CDs that practitioners gave them, and many people came to listen to the
music. The pure, beautiful music that Falun Dafa practitioners have composed
cleanses people's hearts and souls. Practitioners also went to stores, restaurants, and places where Chinese
tourists stopped for a short break. There they handed out copies of Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party to the tourists and told
them website addresses that could break through the CCP's Internet blockage.
Some tourists said they had received a VCD of the Nine Commentaries when
they were in China and that the content was great. Tour guides also came to
listen to practitioners clarify the facts. They said they had met
Falun Dafa practitioners in Bangkok and took materials from them also. Practitioners took a boat to Phi Phi Island. The embarkation point was
heavily damaged by the tsunami, but new houses had been built and trees had
grown back. On the winding road, practitioners lined up single file. Those at
the front carried display boards introducing Falun Dafa, and those behind played
Falun Dafa music. Tourists from China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand took
materials from the practitioners. Practitioners also took a small boat around
Phi Phi Island. They held the display boards on the boat, and tourists made a
thumbs-up gesture to them in response. Practitioners had the sincere wish to bring Falun Dafa's blessings to people
on the island. |
