By a practitioner in New York

(Clearwisdom.net) A Falun Gong practice site was set up for group study and practice for new practitioners in the building across from the Baili Parking Lot in Flushing, New York. On Thursday, July 6, 2008, an elder Chinese resident in Flushing came to the practice site, learned the exercises happily and left with literature for learning Falun Gong. Before leaving, she said, "I want to become a practitioner like you. Because [the CCP's mobs] made trouble, I decided to learn Falun Gong. Otherwise, I would not be so eager to learn it."

She said that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) extends its persecution overseas. She observed the situation for several years, read The Epoch Times newspaper and watched New Tang Dynasty Television. She was very touched that Falun Gong practitioners overseas do not fear violence, but keep safeguarding their own belief, serving the community, clarifying the facts and letting people know about the persecution in China.

She said, "For several years, I have tried to understand what Falun Gong is. I bought a Falun Gong book and read it many times. But I could not understand it. I know it teaches people to be good and follow 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance'. I did not start practicing Falun Gong; I was only an observer.

"On May 17, in front of the Flushing Library, the CCP's consulate-incited spies and mobs attacked Falun Gong practitioners. I finally realized it is a battle between righteous and evil. No need to mention how evil the CCP's nature is. I want to say, if I don't learn Falun Gong now, then when? Therefore, from now on, I want to join this great practice and have the whole world know 'Falun Dafa is good! Support Falun Gong!' I want to be a practitioner like you."

When talking about some members of the New York City Council speaking for the CCP, she said, "As a local elected official, how can he or she not investigate, but talk nonsense? Very disappointing. Such officials should step down and not be allowed to harm people. I am an American citizen. I won't vote for such people in future elections. I will let people know their deeds. They stand on the evil side. It's too much. It's as if we were in China. It is horrible! The CCP is so bad!"
