Sweden: Clarifying the Truth and Spreading Falun Gong at the Vasa Warship Museum in Stockholm (Photos)


By a practitioner from Sweden

(Clearwisdom.net) August 11 and 12, 2007, were bank holidays in Sweden. Bright and early, practitioners in Stockholm gathered at the famous Vasa Warship Museum to promote Falun Gong and clarify the truth to tourists from around the word. Practitioners demonstrated the five exercises, advertised the "Nine Commentaries on Communist Party" and the huge number of people quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), exposed the CCP's atrocities of organ harvesting, and protested eight long years of persecution of Falun Gong in China.


Clarifying the truth

The predestined are everywhere

As soon as the exhibits were set up, many came to ask, "What is Falun Gong?" "Why is Falun Gong persecuted?" Having learned the truth, many commented that it was grossly unjust to suffer such torture simply for not giving up on one's beliefs. People eagerly signed the petition form against the persecution. Some wanted to learn the exercises on the spot.

A lady from Stockholm was about to show some guests around the museum. While queuing with friends at the entrance, she kept watching the practitioners' exercise demonstration. Deeply attracted by the beautiful music and graceful movements, she apologized to her friends, "Sorry, I cannot go in with you. I want to learn Falun Gong. You can meet me here when you are done visiting." With that, she came over to follow the practitioners' movements in earnest. Later she took all the Falun Gong materials and details of practice sites. She said, "I am very happy today. I feel wonderful! It's a gift from God!"

Three young men from Italy watched the practitioners' demonstrations time and again. They also followed the movements carefully. Their traveling companion said that this was a truly wonderful day worth celebrating. In the end they took down the details of the Falun Gong website and left after having their photos taken with practitioners.

A righteous tour guide

A Chinese tour guide from Spain came over to talk to practitioners while waiting for his clients, "It's great to be able to see you in many places." Mentioning especially the Human Rights Torch Relay in the news, he said, "The CCP has not done one good thing. I do not support hosting the Olympic Games in China as people will suffer more when the CCP does it." Worrying for tourists from China, he said, "In China everything is controlled by the CCP. Even abroad, some dare not even read a newspaper as they would like. Every time I leave one of your papers behind on the coach, they all fight for it. I might as well take a few more copies today." When practitioners mentioned the huge number of people quitting the CCP, he said, "I was once a member of the Communist Youth League. I thought it was all right to have quit automatically and did not pay much attention to The Epoch Times' website. I will definitely declare my withdrawal when I get back. If nothing else, at least in this way I can show that I am against the tyranny of the CCP, which is in the power of any Chinese person to do. Otherwise the CCP will be even more out of control." Finally he said to the practitioners that he hoped to see Falun Gong every time he came to Sweden.
