(Clearwisdom.net) A few days ago, I attended a Sino-Japan friendship exchange meeting held by Sinano-machi at NaKano-ken County. The majority of the participants have some ties with China. Before I went there, a thought came to me: how should I turn this exchange meeting into a hongfa (introducing Dafa to the public) meeting for Falun Gong.
About 40 people showed up in the meeting that day. The director asked me upon seeing me, "Is it going better in China for the persecuted Falun Gong practitioners?" (I had introduced Dafa to him before and got his signature and support.) I told him that the persecution is escalating. When I first told him about Dafa, about 200 practitioners had been killed, but now the death toll has been increased to over 360 practitioners, including an eight-month-old baby. He sighed after hearing about this and said, "If I can do something about this, I will do my best to help, and you can contact me anytime."
Many people asked me about Falun Gong in the exchange meeting, I took this as an opportunity to hongfa to them and taught them the exercises of Falun Gong. Many people felt very good and comfortable after they practiced. The director said with a smile, "We can practice Falun Gong as a group instead of doing other exercises every morning, can't we?" Two Chinese people were present, and they said to me after hearing about the truth of the persecution of Falun Gong, "This truth cannot be heard in China. I had thought Falun Gong was like what has been told by the Chinese propaganda. Now I found out the truth, it's very worthwhile to be in Japan at this time, I'd like to learn Falun Gong..." Right after the conclusion of the meeting, the director told me that he would like to hold a Falun Gong class there in Sinano-machi. He asked me to discuss with him this matter at his office after the meeting. At that moment, I strongly felt the power of righteous thoughts and the benevolence of our great Teacher.
